Texas Rep Denounces Ship Canal Plan as Monstrous
Debate on the Lake Erie and Ohio Ship Canal Company bill raged in the House. Supporters say the private franchise would advance freight rates and commerce, while opponents warn of private control, potential charges on Mississippi and Ohio Valley traffic, and loss of federal river governance. The bill stalled on votes, with adjournment pending further committee action.

Elkins Seeks Rail Regulation to Break Trunk Line Control
Senator Elkins urges an Interstate Commerce amendment to require carriers to install necessary switches and provide prompt connections for shippers. The measure targets discrimination by trunk lines that lock in coal and mineral regions, block feeder railroads, and hinder development in West Virginia and beyond. The issue promises a heated Senate battle as advocates argue for reform over entrenched railroad power.
