Railroads seek federal control over interstate rates and incorporation
Railroads outline a legislative program to shift regulation from states to a federal body. They propose federal incorporation of all railroad lines, federal supervision of stock and bonds, and a reorganization of the Interstate Commerce Commission. The aim is to regulate interstate traffic without state reference and shorten rate suspension to 60 days with returns to shippers if rates are unreasonable. The committee is tasked to report by January 2 next but work will extend beyond that deadline.
