CHARGES WILSON RENEGED
Senator Norris Attacks President on
Railway Reform
WASHINGTON. Jan. ..-President
Wilson's plan to InvestiRatc the seneral
railroad situation wim attached today by
Senator Norris as a political iIoiIro to
escape fullllllnR Democrntlc promises for
Reform railway legislation.
"He told us in a mesiiRe," said Norrli,
"of the Injury done to all throiiRh the
burglary of railway systems by directors.
For some reason known only to himself,
he abandoned the Demociatlc piomlse of
regulation of lailrond securities by the
Interstate Conuneice Commission. Ho
proposes an investigation that will last
until after the next election."
Senator Norris said no more InvestiKa
tlort was needed to prove the necessity of
legislation to protect the savliiKs or
people from unscrupulous directors.
