Railway freight rates and pooling in the early 1900s A Senate hearing excerpt that explains proposed reforms to the Interstate Commerce Commission and how rail carriers price and manage traffic.

- Key bills and proposed amendments that sought to expand or refine the Commission’s jurisdiction over rates and practices
- Discussion of how carriers might cooperatively set or divide traffic and earnings, and how such contracts would be reviewed
- Mechanisms for court review, enforcement, and remedies when orders are not observed
- Observations about discrimination, rates, and the broader goal of fair, uniform pricing
Ideal for readers of policy history, transportation regulation, and early 20th‑century American governance.
