Report 01 the Interstate lCommission
Sent to Congress Today
WASHINGTON. Dec. 2i.—~Vigorous
recommendations for changes in the
present law regulating transportation
companies are contained in the twen-
ty-third annual report of the inter
State Commerce Commission transmit-
ted today to the Congress:
Notwithstanding the recommenda-
tions made, however. the report. in
this respect. is notable rather for what
it dare not, than for what it does. con-
tain. Five of the suggestions made
by the special committee selected by
President Taft to draft changes in the
existing inter-state commerce act are
offered in the report. it is known that
the commission. as a body, favors the
plans proposed by that committee:
but, as a matter of courtesy it has re.
trained. in its rcport. from discussing
the changes in advance of the special
dressage on the subject which Presi-
dent Taft has indicated he will send
lo the Congress.
The Commission expresses its con-
viction that certain amendments to
present law are necessary to enable it
fully to accomplish the purposes of
Congress. Briefly summarized, the pro-
posed amendments are as follows:
That a physical valuation be made
of the interstate railroads of the coun:
try. 'l‘hc Commission points to the (1le
culty experienced in certain cases
where its orders are attacked in court
in meeting the testimony as to physl~
cal value offered by the carriers. and
says that if its rates are to be de-
tcndcd. sonic method must bc furnish-
ed by which a value can he establish
ed which shall be binding on the
(shirts and the Commission.
The Commission again suggests that
ll be given power to prcvoni advances
in rates or changes in regulations or
prurUcr-s to the disadvantage of the
shipper. pending an investigation into
the reasonableness of the proposed
cilantro. it is stated that where a rate
has horn in effect for years it is pre-
sumably reasonable and that flu-re
would be no hardship on the carrier in
giving the Commissioner authority to
require continuance of the rate until
opportunity had been afforded to iii-
vcntlaaie the proposed advance.
The Conumission’a authority to es-
tubllah a joint rate and thronah route
is limited to causes where no such
routo exists. and the Commission rsc~
diamonds that this limitation be strick-
cn out of the law. no that it may ea-
tuhlish a through route wherever upon
lnvrailaation. it is found that the pub-
lic necessity and convrnh-nce require
such M‘IIUII. A furtheriremimmenda-
tinn- lu to the effort that in certain ia-
utanccs the shipper be permitted to
direct the intermediate routing of his
trajc. it is further requested that the
law be an amended as to give the Com
mission undoubted authority to enter a
charm-live order an the result of an in-
vestigation instituted by tho Commis-
nion upon its own motion.
The Commission sprain calls to the
attention of Couaresa the increasinl
importance of some form of federal
control over railway capitalisation and
expressed the opinion that adequate
legislation upon this subject iii-requir-
ed by the interests involved.
The cranial reports iodine commis-
sion from the carriers chow that for
the fiscal year ended June 90th. 1909.
the gross operating revenues of all
railroads in the United States were
92.181.521.345. and the operating in-

1909 233,002. The large increase in
net as compared with gross nominal!
is accounted for by a reduction of op-
erating expenses in 1909 below those-
of 1908 of 859,224,983. . _ ‘ -
The report indicates that a larger
number of formal complaints was’fliotl‘v
with the Commission in 1909 than!!! .‘ '
1908. During the last year 1.097- for- j ,
mal proceedings were instituted and . .
during the saute period 788 formal
cases were disposed of. Approximate.
ly 9.000 informal complaints. of which.»
about half involved informal repara-
tion claims, were adjusted during the
year. Six hundred and one hearings
and investigations—an average of two
for each working day—all involving
alleged violations of the inter-state
commerce not, were held at seasions
of the Commission in Washington and
in various cities of the country. at ,
which 61,000 pages of testimony, were
taken.
Since December 181. 1908, thirty-five
indictments for crimiuia violations of
the inter-state commerce law have
been returned and forty’two prosod-
tioas have been concluded. Practical-
ly all of the prosecutions were for
some form of rebate or concessions.
The fines collected under these in- '1
dictments aggregated 930423334. The
opinion is expected that violations 0!
the law, such as rcbating in one form ‘
or in another. is decreasing.
Some account is given of the IE?-
ceedings had during the year in e
enforcement of the safety appliance
law. and the Commission states that. ,
the results in this respect are gratify-
lag. in 1003 the number of men em-
ployed in coupling and uncoupling cars
for each one killed was 349, while in
1908 the number employed for each
one killed was 983. The number of
men employed in coupling and un-
coupling cars for each one injured in
1893 was 13. while in 1908 it was 62.“
Stated in another way. the number or’ ,
men killed in coupling and uncoupling
cars for each 1.000 employed wan 3 .
in 1893 and 1 in 1908, while the num-
ber of injuries for each 1,000 men em-
ployed in this service was 77 in 1893 ,
and 16 in 1908. .
in that part of the report devoted to
statistics and accounts detailed figures
respecting railroad operations for 1908
and 1909 are given. and the work of
the Commission in the formulation of ,_ ‘
i uniform system of accounting is des- .
cribed. and satIsIactlon is expressed W)
with the results obtained. ,
