The Interstate Commerce Commission examines Harriman era railways and related steamship holdings to determine if monopolies restrain trade. Evidence shows Union Pacific and Southern Pacific share control of multiple lines and vessels, including Occidental and Oriental Steamship, with cross ownership and long term traffic agreements. The commission also seeks authority to test automatic safety devices to reduce railroad accidents.
