Senate hearing on inter State Commerce law in New York
In New York on May 10 the Senate committee studying the inter State Commerce Law at the Fifth Avenue Hotel heard businessmen. Chamber of Commerce President Charles Smith warned that Indian and Black Sea rail expansion risks losing US export trade and urged subsidies for American lines to compete with steamships. H Herrick praised the law but urged stiffer penalties and noted bias toward seaboard ports. John D Kiernan argued for delaying changes until the law matures. He cited condensed milk rates near New York and New Middletown to illustrate pooling effects and argued Canadian competition remains ineffectual. The panel adjourned to July 5 for continued hearings.
