When we say monopoly. mean
thst. and nothing lass. There Ik no

Washington, March 13. ? Although
Identical when introduced In the two
Houses of Congress, It is now evident
that the measures to create a court
of commerce and amend the inter
state commerce laws will bear little
resemblance to each other when
deliberations of the two bodies hare
been concluded.
While the opposition to the admin
istration bill was not strong enough
to amend -t^e bill In the Senate com
mittee, it Is now conceded that sev
eral Important changes will be forcen'
on the floor. The debate on the bill
will begin either today or "Wednes
day. Senator Cummins will open the
discussion In support of certain
changes advocated In the minorlty
report of the Senate committee. He
may speak for several days. Prac
tically all of the "Insurgent" Sens
tors and many Democrats will speak
on the railroad bill. No one esti
mates that the debate will be fin
ished In less than six weeks.
An effort will be made by the
House committee on interstate com
merce to report the bill this week
and It Is probsble therefore that de
bate on the ssme subject will proceed
simultaneously at both ends of the
Capitol.
