CLARK OPPOSES
REGIONAL PLAN

Commissioner Edgar f. Clark, OF
the Interstate Commerce Commission.
took fiat issue with T. De Witt Guy
Ter, chairman of the Association of
Railway Executives, before the Sen
ate Interstate Commerce Committee
on the proposed plan for regional d.
rection of American railroads.
He attacked the suggestion of the
railroad men for dividing up the In
terstate Commerce Commission" into
regional commissions as impracticable
and in violation of law.
Regional commissions would ne
cessitate multiplication of machinery
and records that would be somewhat
formidable" he said.
The railroad men suggested that
the decisions of the regional commits
sfons be subject to review on appeal
to the central body in Washington.
1T seems to me that seven men
can give more expeditions action
than twenty-five" Clark said. en-
phatically.
He pointed out that the Supreme
Court OF the United States had held
that 1t is the duty of the Interstate
Commerce Commission under the law
to give uniform treatment" to all
railroads and shippers. This would
be impossible under regional commits
sions, Clark declared.

Prohibition such as we now know

there is a growing movement to cur
