Senate Amends Measure Extending Rail Carrier Powers
The senate amended the bill to grant circuit courts power to hear challenges to commission orders, bar interlocutory decrees without hearings, and direct appeals to the Supreme Court. It broadens the term railroad to include switches, tracks, depots, and grounds and defines transportation to cover cars and shipment facilities regardless of ownership. It imposes duties on carriers to provide special car service, adds oil pipelines and express and shipping lines under common carriers, and tightens passenger and rerate rules. Penalties include fines for improper accounts, falsification, and daily fines for report failures. Circuit and district courts gain jurisdiction over commission enforcement and can issue writs of mandamus.
