Mr. Bailey was congratulated by many of his colleagues of both parties. The-close attention given throughout thefour hours was all the more mark ed in -view of the legal character of the - argument. Mr. Bailey set . out with the end In view of establishing the soundness of his contention that Con- gress has power to deny to the inferior United State Courts the right to sus pend the orders of the ' Inter-State commerce commission pending the fi nal decision of cases arising under the proposed law. This he undertook to do by citing innumerable decisions of the courts And quoting many other authorities. These citation were in terspersed with his comment. MR. HALE WILLING. ,T Mr. Hale announced his willingness to accept the auitl-suspenslon amend ment and expressed confidence that If Mr. Ballsy would on the other hand agree to a broad court review there would be comparatively little dlfflcul ty m reaching an agreement on the hill; In response Mr. Bailey said that he . did not believe that review by ths courts could be denied under the consutution. "If," Mr. Bailey said. In the begin ntng of his speech, "Congress can de stroy proceeding In equity. It can de stroy, proceeding at law." This, he said, had been conceded by his op ponents, as had laso been the point that 'the inferior derived their power from acta of Congress and not from ths Constitution direct. These conces sions left as th onlv nolnt the dlstlnc tlon etween the judicial power of the United (States and the Jurisdiction of the Federal Courts, for which Mr. Knox and" Mr, Spooner contend.
