Railroad Commissioners in Congress Aim to Regulate Interstate Rates
The House Commerce Committee plans to consider a bill by Iowa's Sapp to create a nine member Railroad Commissioners board with salaries of 3500 dollars, tasked to fix maximum interstate rail rates subject to appeals. An alternative would replace commissioners with nine circuit courts to oversee railroad matters, but lack rate fixing power. Congress may push Reagan bill or a rate fixing board this session.
