Tug of War to Come Favors Its Recommendation
The tug of war over the Tillman resolution in the House committees on Interstate and Foreign Commerce will move today with Mr Townsend of Michigan proposing a favorable report. Townsend says Tillman overshot the mark seeking broad power for the Interstate Commerce Commission and aims to limit the inquiry to immediate issues of coal transportation between major roads and Pennsylvania West Virginia and Maryland coal interests. Gaines of West Virginia will aid in pushing the resolution before the House at the earliest practicable moment. House members are not expected to oppose an early report and plan to consider it next week.
