Senate Hears Bail Bill on Mails and Bible Issue
Senate interstate commerce committee approved a bill to supplement the Adamson law, allowing investigation of railroad disputes and presidential control of rail, telegraph, and telephone lines in military necessity. The measure lacks outlaw of strikes, and a key section would criminalize obstructing mail or interstate commerce. President could draft railroad workers and seize lines in emergencies, with ICC punitive damage. Debate touches on Bankhead liquor advertising bill and whether the Bible or other publications could be barred from mails under prohibitory terms.
