Edwin S. Conway writes to Republican Senator Shelby Cullom protesting an amendment to the Interstate Commerce Commission law that would allow shippers to appear before court and present wrongs against them. As a shipper, he views this as another way for railroads to maintain an advantage, seeing as they are more organized than shippers. He commends President Roosevelt’s character and believes Roosevelt is looking out for the needs of the shippers.
