Call for Railroad Reform and Honest Diagnosis
The author argues the Interstate Commerce Commission and business leaders must admit fault for surrendering sovereignty to railroad unions in 1916. A thorough, independent study by top executives, financiers, farmers, and consumers is needed to diagnose why railroads fail and to propose management changes and a shift from public hostility to cooperation.
