Representatives of railroads testified before the Interstate Commerce Commission in Washington on Tec 25 to argue the railroads lack authority to order a redistribution of cars. The commission considers requiring return of foreign cars to connecting lines after unloading, amid ongoing congestion and mixed improvement. George Hodges of the Railway Association said the commission would have railroad executives authority over car distribution, while Grand Trunk protested new rules. Inspectors totaling thirty seven were dispatched to check railroads.

Brothers Propose Federal Rail Dispute Commission
New York December 28, leaders of the four railway brotherhoods propose creating a federal eight member commission to settle labor disputes between railroads and their employees.

The plan would hear cases and issue decisions, severing members from current ties to either side before service. Road representatives have not committed. union head William Lee says the idea could plausibly resolve grievances, subject to conference committee review.
