Harrisburg, Pa., Sept. 18, '07. On Moanday evening January 30, 1905, Representative Farmer Creasy of Columbia county, introduced a res. olution in the House of Representa- Hyves of the Legislature of Pennpsyl- vania, “instructing our Senators and requesting our Representatives in Congress to vote for such measures as will give the Interstate Commerce Commission larger powers, to the end that shippers may have prompt and adequate relief and that rebates may be prohibited.” This was inter- preted as IL was intended to be, as an endorsement of President Roose velt's policy on the subject of regu- lating rates on rallroads. The President was engaged at the time in a Titanic struggle with what he characterized as the ‘“‘rallroad lawyers” of the Senate. Aldrich of Rhode Island and Foraker of Ohlo led the opposition and all the Demo- ¢rats and a few Republicans in the body were orting the ling measure Roosevelt ha we an apy the moral support of the people and on the night the reso- lutic wy 1 supi Mr. eal for was introduced h was In of i ingly defeated OQ.
