State Railroad Commissioners Clash Over Investment Accounts
Associated Press report from Washington on March 23 describes a heated hearing before the Interstate Commerce Commission. State railroad commissioners argued that investment accounts used to value railroads are unreliable and should not dictate compensation standards under the Transportation Act. They urged consideration of true investment costs and faulted Wall Street influence. Representatives of shippers supported reviewing hook accounts but asked for corroborating data. The piece also notes a separate ICC decision to add a fourth group of subordinate officials to the railroad labor board selection process, listing unions and associations affected.
