Far Reforms Blocked in Senate on Federal Rate Making
A Washington opinion piece argues the Senate Interstate Commerce Committee will adjourn without approving rate making by a federal commission. It alleges railroads control hearings, warn of constitutional limits, and predict resistance to government rate control amid political pressure and looming regulatory clashes with President Roosevelt.

Plumbers Fight New Alaska Plumbing Ordinance Proposal
Corporation Counsel Calhoun did not report to the board of health on a proposed plumbing ordinance aimed at driving small contractors out of business. The plan includes a $1 inspection fee and a $2,000 bond, with critics saying revenue would fund more inspectors and raise salaries rather than ease delays. Critics warn the fee structure favors large firms and would cost the average small plumber more. Two rail companies filed articles of incorporation with the secretary of state, including the Alaska & Pacific Railway & Telegraph company with 2,000,000 capital.
