Senate seeks nine member Interstate Commerce Board amendment
Senator Martin proposed an amendment to expand the Interstate Commerce Commission to nine members with one from each U S judicial circuit and a bipartisan representation. He said the change would ensure nationwide and party-balanced oversight. The Senate heard briefs on rate regulation, with testimony on discriminations against private refrigerator car operators and cattle shipments. Judge Cowan urged action under the Sherman law, and amendments to section 13 were discussed to enforce reasonable rates with penalties for carriers. Representative Shull introduced a bill to empower the ICC to fix rates and regulate private freight cars.
