Former Senate Commerce Committee chairman William E Chandler writes to the Senate Interstate Commerce Committee urging Esch-Townsend rail rate reform and government ownership if Congress fails. He warns Republicans of a Democratic shift led by Bryan and La Follette and describes a plan to place government directors on railroad boards to approve rates.
