Bill to standardize automatic rail car couplers and brakes
A bill approved by the house committee on interstate and foreign commerce seeks safety rules for freight cars and locomotives. It requires automatic couplers on repaired cars by 1895 and all cars by 1898, continuous tram brakes, and power brakes on locomotives with later dates. The selection method leaves the decision to railroads, needing 75 percent for adoption, or the Interstate Commerce Commission to designate within six months if no majority is reached.
