Senator Elkins on WV Coal Rates and Rail Line Development
West Virginia figures heavily in rate reform as Senator Elkins argues the Hepburn bill offers no real relief to shippers. He urges equal rates and no rebates, plus railroad restrictions on coal sales and mandatory switches to spur state development through trunk lines and branch connections. He says without amendments, the bill fails to serve WV interests and leaves the state undeveloped.

Debate over Hepburn rail rates review sparks Senate clash
Advocates press for an explicit judiciary review clause in the Hepburn bill to constrain Interstate Commerce Commission orders. Conservative senators balk at omitting the clause, arguing courts must easily review whether rates are just and reasonable. The debate centers on Congress power, administrative delegation, and protecting shippers and localities from unfavorable rate changes.
