Port congestion over fixed and maximum rail rates debate
The article discusses whether the Interstate Commerce Commission should be empowered to fix absolute rates rather than only maximum rates for interstate transportation. It notes President Roosevelt’s stance and Attorney General Moody’s opinion that Congress alone fixes maximum rates, the constitutional limits on delegating rate setting, and the potential impact on port competition especially for Gulf ports like New Orleans and Galveston. It warns that absolute rates could disrupt trade and favor certain ports, with Southern ports keenly affected.

Rates Controversy Over Absolute Versus Maximum Governmental Fixing
The dispatch argues against absolute rate fixing by a commission, warning it would distort pricing across ports from Norfolk to New York and ripple through all rail lines. It says absolute rates could petrify schedules, curb reductions, and empower the commission to set and defend broad, nationwide price levels. It notes potential shifts in freight from Gulf and South Atlantic regions toward North Atlantic hubs.
