Charges Against Railroads Before Interstate Commission
Cir Etchemberger of Galveston files a complaint with the Interstate Commerce Commission charging the Southern Pacific and Southern Pacific Terminal with exclusive wharf privileges at Galveston. The suit claims a de facto cotton seed cake and meal shipment monopoly due to reduced handling costs for a single rival, seeking protection and reparations up to about 40,000 dollars. Roads defend by citing risk from high concentrations at transfer points. Robert Greathouse and John Bailey are in the city on rail and audit related business.
