Defiance at Interstate Commerce hearing over testimony
The Interstate Commerce Commission faced a heated session as Armour Car Lines leader George B. Robbins refused to answer questions, disputed the commission's jurisdiction, and accusations of stolen evidence and political manipulation flew amid protracted wrangling. The panel ordered Robbins to testify, while debates over jurisdiction and the use of a discharged employee’s telegraphic code book stalled further action, with the hearing postponed and likely headed to court.
