Harrison appeals to Wilson for railroad regulation reform
Fairfax Harrison urged President Wilson to back congressional action and support a joint Senate subcommittee to study railroad regulation. The National Association of Manufacturers backed reform and called for legislation to fix defects in the railroad oversight system. The appeal followed Harrison’s December 1914 speech at the Railway Business Association dinner in New York.
