Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book presents the opening argument of George Stuart Patterson on behalf of Eastern carriers before the Interstate Commerce Commission. The year is 1917, the First World War rages on. Patterson makes an urgent plea for increased railroad rates, arguing that the escalated costs of labor, fuel, and materials, along with the government-imposed tax increases, have placed the Eastern carriers in a financially precarious position. Despite recent rate increases granted by the Commission, Patterson emphasizes that the carriers still face a shortfall of $97 million, which threatens their ability to maintain and improve their infrastructure and equipment. He presents evidence of deferred maintenance and a decline in the efficiency of labor, highlighting the urgency of the situation. The author asserts that the requested rate increases are not only crucial for the financial stability of the railroads but also vital to the national defense effort. Patterson concludes by emphasizing that the issue has ceased to be a matter of economics and has become a critical aspect of national security. This book offers a valuable glimpse into the challenges faced by the railroad industry during a pivotal moment in American history.

Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book examines common carrier railroad regulation in the United States, arguing that to best serve the public interest and future economic development, there needs to be a shift away from regulation by State Commissions and the Interstate Commerce Commission to a single body of experts. The author highlights the conicting requirements of various states and the economic issues inherent in setting freight and passenger rates according to state laws. They emphasize the lack of uniformity and the absence of expertise, pointing to instances where state laws have caused economic waste and increases in costs for carriers. Their proposed solution is a federal commission with broad powers to oversee all aspects of railroad regulation, including the ability to set minimum and maximum rates, approve or reject security issuances, and regulate operating conditions to ensure efficiency and economic viability. The author concludes by asserting that this centralized approach is essential for fostering a national rail transportation system that meets the needs of a growing and interconnected country.

Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book opens a window into the historical development and present theories regarding contracts in restraint of trade. Originally rendered legally void as being against public policy for obstructing the parties' freedom to work, restraining trade introduced an exception: contracts ancillary to the sale of goodwill in a business seeking to protect the buyer's investment are enforceable. The author explores the ongoing tension between protecting the former employer and stifling competition, emphasizing the need for a careful weighing of public policy. The book explores case law and theoretical perspectives, examining topics such as reasonableness, consideration, and the public interest, offering lucid explanations of complex legal doctrines. Ultimately, this book provides a detailed analysis of contractual limitations in employment, enhancing understanding of the legal boundaries surrounding such agreements.

Hardcover. Zustand: Fair. Eighth edition. Original boards show only light wear, with rubbing to corners and wear to foot of spine; binding tight; pages clean with some foxing to early and late pages and near leading edge. A number of pinprick and slightly larger beetle holes near top edge of many pages (see photos). Four foldout charts and illustrations complete. A landmark work of scientific racism by a slaveowner and an Egyptologist, arguing that different races originated separately -- later a common tenet of white supremacist thought. Nott and Gliddon aimed to further the work of skull-measuring racist Samuel George Morton, 'the father of American physical anthropology.' Fascinating and horrific. First published in 1854 and startlingly uncommon in any original edition. 3.3 pounds. 738 pages. U.S. buyers, please contact me for a possible discount.…
