Foraker Senator Answers Critics on Rate Reform Plan
In an open letter Senator Foraker defends rejecting Interstate Commerce Commission rate making and argues the Esch Townsend tariff plan is fatally flawed. He contends rates are interdependent and cannot be fixed by a single rate. Senator Elkins of West Virginia counters, saying a new bill would fix railroad abuses without transferring rate powers. Both push proposals ahead as hearings approach on November 15.
