WESTERN 6OVEBIIORS DOING' HEW YORK has at its command The. commission was created. ;in 1910, when the Senate refused to ac cept aHouse amendment to the pendr ing railroad bill, providing that all fu : ture issue of stocks of railroad securi ties be placed under the control of the Interstate 'Commerce Commission. Many of the. Senate Democrats op posed it as an invasion of States' rights. President Taft at the time told Republican leaders the party was committed to such a measure, but when it appeared impossible to pass it, the President agreed to . have the clause eliminated, with tle under standing that a commission to study the subject would be allowed. "This was done and the commission began wont in the autumn of 1910. Public hearings were held ; and Chairman Hadley studied the problem abroad. The commission's report is distinct ly adverse to the legislation proposed in the railroad bill. . r -:v: Pr4eni-ftDb4ic report to Congress . today, -declared that he heartily concurred in the rec ommendations. , . . The commission's principal conclu sions are: . . i .... That any attempt by Congress to adopt the policy of Federal regulation to the exclusion of State regulation, would be premature. That for the present, State authori ties should make a concerted effort to harmonize existing requirements. That Congress should prepare for the futurej)ygiving consideration to a Federal incorporation act which would permit Interstate railroads to exchange their State charters for, na tional ones. ,1 The commission takes the ground that constitutional questions involv ing the scope and extent of Federal authority are unsettled and 5 will re main so for sometime; and that while such a condition exists, .to superim pose Federal regulation upon State regulation would add. to the conflicts and complexities, which in the public interest, should rather be diminished than increased. ; "Unless the' constitutional power of Congress to regulate securities of In terstate railroads is definitely estab lished as being exclusive of State con trol; either the Federal government New, York, - Dec. 11, Walter Drew, and the States will come to a general secretary of the National Erectors' understanding as to the principles to Association, has acted as . its counsel be adopted in the control of security aung the investigation tnat resulted issues, or the railroad systems will in the arrest of the McNamaras.
