Bill aims to bar private cars from interstate rail lines
Representative Prince of Minot introduces a bill to prohibit any railway engaged in interstate commerce from using hauling or permitting private cars such as Pullman refrigerator and freight cars on its lines. If enacted January 1 1910 the measure would treat private car lanes as subject to common carrier law and restrict owners who claim not to be under such rules. The bill argues railways are public highways and private cars should not be allowed to operate on them.
