Interstate Commerce Board Urges Broadening Coal Freight Rule
The Interstate Commerce Commission urged Congress to expand the commodities clause of the Hepburn rate law to cover all traffic. The report, stemming from a seven year investigation into railroads and coal interests around St Louis, calls for a clear separation of public transportation from private business, forbidding railroads from financing private enterprises and extending the clause to all traffic. It notes dual profits in coal freight and transport, cites industrial railroads linked to mines near East St Louis, and highlights stock ties among major lines and coal firms including the Gould family and associated trusts.
