TO GIVE |. c. E. MORE
power over RAILWAYS
Legislation Planned to Give Commits
sion Control Over Re-
ceiverships.

Legislation designed to give the Inter-
state Commerce Commission jurisdiction
over receiverships Of common carriers is
to be proposed at the next session Of
Congress The commission while not
itself proposing this measure. will sup
port it before the Congressional commit
tees before which it will come.
This legislation will provide that no
railroad or other common carrier may
go into the hands of receivers without
first making application to the commits
sion Upon receipt of application for re-
ceivers the commission will investigate
the needs and causes for such action.
according to the plan, and care is to be
taken that all parties at interest In the
carrying corporations shall have ample
to express their views in re-
gard to the matter before the commission
decides whether to permit receivership.
This legislation will come as the direct
result of the Interstate Commerce Com
missions investigation into the financial
affairs and physical condition Of the
Chicago. Rock Island and Pacific Rail-
way. The commissions report in this
case declared that the Moore-Reid-Leeds
syndicate, which allegedly controlled the
property, forced the road into receiver
ship, which could have been avoided,
without the knowledge or consent of the
directors and stockholders.
The legislation proposed. If enacted.
will give the commission greatly in
creased powers over the American rail-
roads, and is considered revolutionary In
character.
