First strect. to the Morgue. . - It was Perhaps a wetk or ten ‘days after the | s téndance in'the galleries was by no meang abnormal, and there was no. manifestation of ‘any kind when the. result was announced. There was, however, an almost general sigh of relief among the Senators. The bill has received more attention frdm the Senate and from the ‘country at large than any measure that has been before Con- gress Since ‘the repeal of the purchasing clause of the Sherman act in 1893. It was reported to the Senate on February 26, and was made the unfinished business gn March 12. From March 12 to May 4 the bill was under general discussion without limitation on the duration of speeches, fifty-eight of which were delivered. Many iof these were prepared with great care, and two of them consumed more than a day’s time in delivery. Senator La Follette, the junior Senator from Wisconsin, spoke for three days, and Senator Daniel of Virginia for two days. ‘Senators Bailey, Foraker, Lodge, Rayner, Dolliver and others each spoke for an entire day. For twelve days the bill has been under consideration under a |rule limiting speeches to fifteen minutes each. The Senate has at all times been: earnest and animated, but for the most part devoid of personality as between Senators, the past few days, however, hav- ing called out some caustic criticisms of the President and of some newspaper correspondents by Senator Bailey. 2 In addition- to passing the bill the proceedings today comsisted in concluding the consideration of the amendments as such and the delivery of a number of spéeches on the bill. The only amendment adopted was the one offered yesterday by Senator Teller, eliminating the words “in ifs’judgment™ frdm the power given to the Interstate Commerce Commission to fix rates. SCOPE OF BILL AS PASSED BY SENATE. The . principal purpose of the railroad rate bill passed tt{da_v is to permit the Interstate Commerce Conimission to fix rates. l'he. provision conferring this authority is found in ths fourth section of the bill, which amends.section 15 of the interstate commerce law so as to accomiplish- this result. That section directs the commission i’to investigate céomplaints of unjust and unreasonable charges on the !part of the common carriers in transportation of persons or prop- erty, or of regulations or of practices affecting such charges. I!Aalso authorizes arrinquiry as to whether the rates or practices are “un- justly ‘discriminatary or unduly preferential or prejudicial or other- wise in violation of the act,” and in case any of these conditions are foiind to exist the commission is empowered to detegmine and Iprescribe what will be the just and reasonable maximum rate and what regulation-or practice is just, reasonable 'and fair. Further, authority is given the commission to enforce its orders, and they are: to go into: effect within thirty days and continue in force for ‘two' years, unless suspended,-modified or set aside by the commis- sion or by-a.court.of competeént jurisdiction. Other powers con- Iferred by. this-section are to apportion joint fares, establish through routes and maximum joint rates and prescribe their division, and to determine the compensation to be paid to shippers doing service for carriers. . . ¢ * Section 16 of the present law is so changed as to provide for an award of peciniary’damages to complainants found entitled, and, in 4.
