Seth Low is enclosing copies of a speech he made at Charles Evans Hughes’s dinner. Thanks to Speaker of the House Joseph Gurney Cannon, he was able to make arrangements for Representative William Peters Hepburn to introduce their resolution to the House, as well as to the Judiciary Committee and the Committee on Inter-State Commerce. Hearings for the Senate Committee are already scheduled and they hope to have the House Committee hearings the same day. Cannon also told Low that although he previously opposed allowing railroads to pool, now he feels that something like that must be tried. They have been encouraged to prepare bills to express their views, so Herbert Knox Smith and Secretary of the Interior James Rudolph Garfield will take up the matter.
