President Roosevelt and the rail rate law debate
Officials said no final plan exists and talk of a presidential letter to the Interstate Commerce Commission is premature. Senators Newlands and La Follette urge a valuation of railroads to guide regulation, while ships and freight concerns push for a fuller law. The White House sees gaps in the act and will shape action after further study of railroad valuation, car shortages, and related issues.

Bonded Ports for American Labor Advocated by Shaw
Secretary Shaw urged New Hampshire officials to create large bonded factory zones and free ports on the North Atlantic coast to export American made goods. He proposed land bonded territories where raw materials enter duty free and labor is American, boosting New England and other regions. Shaw argued export only products would be duty free if reimported for domestic use. He stressed establishing ports near Norfolk and the Gulf and shipping to South America, Africa and the Orient to expand U S trade and employment.
