Shippers Urge Fixed Railroad Earnings and Limited Governance
The National Shippers conference, meeting in Chicago on December 30 with delegates from sixteen states, opposes guaranteed returns for railroads, government appropriation of surplus profits, compulsory consolidation, and a new federal board. They favor early railroad return to owners, state rate commissions, and extending the inter state commerce commission rather than creating new oversight. They reject a permanent guaranteed return but support a continuing standard return under the 1918 railroad control law for a reasonable period.
