Congressional committee begins railway inquiry
Ten members of Congress open hearings on public control and supervision of railroads. The panel may push federal incorporation and tighter federal oversight, with witnesses from railroad commissions, labor groups, bankers, and shippers. The program seeks to coordinate rates nationwide and potentially curb state authority. The inquiry, urged by President Wilson, targets federal regulation over interstate railways, rates, securities, and stock, with a reform plan for the Interstate Commerce Commission.
