Grayson Attacks Government Control in Railroad Hearings
Former head of the Order of Railway Conductors testified to the House committee on interstate commerce that government ownership of railroads was not best for the country. He argued the period of government control showed a single motive to prove this point. An appropriation of 1000 dollars was requested to support the president's plan to reduce the high cost of living. Congress also considered an Agriculture Department appropriation aimed at lowering living costs.
