America. ! have no doubt that IL the
reorganization of the interstate COM
merce commission were attempted
there would be general demand TO
have local bodies with subordinate au-
thority in the various sections. That
would have its advantages, but 1t
would interfere with concentration OF
authority and ease Of control.
THE big thing, 1t seems to me. Is
that the interstate commerce commits
sion should have a real and practical
interest in the administration. For ex-.
ample, in the labor fight recently,
neither the president nor congress was
directly interested in what happened
after the settlement was secured; what
they wanted was to get from under the
difficulty. A continuing body charged
with permanent responsibility would
have an entirely different outlook on
the question. A body composed OF the
best available men. appointed for life
and adequately paid, would oe In a
position to get the best results. For
example, a labor leader (and there are
many good ones in America) might go
into this body prejudiced, but his as
ISOLATION with the others would broad
en- and mellow him. Precisely the same
thing could be said Of the representa-
tive of capital
ut has worked that way in England.
Never anywhere has there existed such
severe competition as there is here
among the railroads, and yet the ten
general managers, when brought to-
gether to operate the railroads In Eng
land, have all come to see each others
point OF view, ana; as a matter or prac-
teal experience, every decision reached
by them has been unanimous"
