Washington Dee 26 after an all day hearing the interstate commerce commission debated whether to order railroads to move empty cars from other lines to their own tracks immediately upon unloading. W W Atterbury led railroad representatives opposing a strict rule saying it would worsen the shortage. Commissioner McChord accused railroads of ignoring orders and stealing cars. Atterbury argued normal conditions do not justify a hard standard. He noted Grand Trunk’s refusal to pay higher foreign car rates and warned of potential Canadian action affecting coal imports.
