Johnsons Bill Places Limit On Railroad Dividends
Senator Hiram Johnson of California has introduced a bill requiring railroads to obtain a certificate from the Interstate Commerce Commission before paying dividends. The measure, a response to the 1922 railroad strike, would extend government control by ensuring funds go to equipment and service needs rather than shareholder dividends. It sets a 30 day public notice period, hearings if needed, and heavy penalties for violation.
