Action on Trailers Faces Show Cause September First
Unto September 1 the Interstate Commerce Commission requires trailer use be shown to continue. Railway and electric company officials largely deny knowledge of the order and hesitate to act. Executives such as George H Harries of the Washington Railway and Electric Company and Lawrence F Norment of Anacostia and Potomac River Railway offer no decisive moves, while other executives defer to company heads. Default appears likely as railways may ignore the commission’s ruling.
