United States Steel Chief Urges Profit Limit in Federal Oversight
Bibert H. Gary, head of United States Steel, told the Senate Interstate Commerce Committee that the government must control big corporations to protect the public and preserve orderly economies. He urged a federal corporation committee, licensing of all firms, regulation of mergers and profits, and full disclosure of corporate affairs. Gary noted Steel could undersell rivals due to economies but strives for fair pricing and competition to avoid driving smaller firms to bankruptcy. The Hill ore lease would be canceled after criticism from the commerce department and hearings. George W. Harris of Cincinnati backed federal law limiting big-corporation profits, proposing a system where large capital groups earn only 6 percent on investments while smaller firms gain room to grow by breaking up large monopolies.

Interstate Commerce Commission asserts full control over car interchange
The Interstate Commerce Commission declared jurisdiction over railroad through routes affecting freight transport. In the car shortage case the Missouri and Illinois Coal Co accused the Illinois Central of embargoing coal cars into Missouri, and the commission ruled temporary car confiscation and embargoes by carriers are unlawful. It affirmed regulation of car interchange rules and stressed carriers must keep routes open for coal and other freight. Advances in freight rates for lemons and potatoes were also suspended, with a proposed rise from $1.00 to $1.15 per hundred pounds filed by Lehigh Valley and allied lines, tying into broader questions from 1912.
