U S. Rule Sought to Ease Rail Freight Congestion
A joint appeal by the Association of Railway Executives and the American Railway Association asks the Interstate Commerce Commission to invoke emergency powers under the Transportation Act to relieve freight congestion not seen since 1917. They urge use of common equipment, embargoes, priorities, and diversions, and request removal from certain laws and hearings to speed action. They note labor strikes and the lack of available equipment as key factors and say passenger service could be curtailed only in extreme cases.
