House rebukes merger claims as ICC reply disappoints Gillespie
The Interstate Commerce Commission reply disappoints Representative Gillespie and allies as they push for records on railroad mergers. He vows to press Commerce and Justice for data and, if needed, seek a congressional committee to investigate restraint of trade involving Pennsylvania Railroad and linked lines.

The piece also notes approval of the Margaret Edes Home incorporation bill by the District Commissioners.
