The Interstate Commerce Commission urges Congress to regulate railroad capitalization, require steel passenger cars, and outlaw wooden cars in trains. It calls for explicit authority to examine railroad records, a fixed period for suits on transportation charges, and penalties for hours of service violations. The report notes winter field work shifting to the South, with eight groups surveying about 1,500 miles monthly and planned expansion to twenty teams per district. It details ongoing accident investigations, flagging issues, and the need for standard operating rules, while briefly addressing freight-rate movements and the Eastern advance case pending further decision.
