Vast undertaking big transatlantic trust
Washington reports a case before the interstate commerce commission on foreign shipping and rail ties alleged as a monopoly hurting American shippers. The Cosmopolitan Shipping Co of Philadelphia charges Hamburg American and others with coercive contracts and rebates tied to German and other European railroads. The commission debates its authority over foreign commerce and the scope of potential next winter legislation. The probe seeks to curb a supposed tie between U S railroads and foreign steamship lines that stifles competition in eastbound traffic from midwestern centers to Europe.
