Washington August 31 Representatives of railroads, unions and shippers argued for nine hours before the senate interstate commerce committee on a proposed bill to avert a looming strike and compensate lines for added costs.

He spoke of a Gethsemane moment and wept as he faced the crowd, then left the chamber after an intense, silent pause.
