Cummins Opens Fight on Interstate Commerce Act Change
The Senate hears Sen. Cummins of Iowa push amendments to the interstate commerce law. An administration bill, shaped by the President and a special panel, differs in many points. It would standardize freight classifications, require uniform rate statements, and allow court review only on fixed rates. The plan restricts parallel line control, stock issues, and cross‑carrier ventures, with broad commission oversight and revised carrier business limits.

Customs Shake-Up Delayed by Congress Action
Boston Dec 10 Secretary MacVeagh said there will be no wholesale reorganization of the customs service unit until Congress acts on civil pension reform. He noted undervaluation nationwide impacting appraisers and predicted the new tariff will curb this by letting customs officials assess duties by domestic value rather than cross border comparisons. He will attend the dinner of the Pennsylvania Society of New York with Knox and Wickersham present.
