GIVEN TO congress
Interstate Commerce Com
mission Suggests Changes
in Railroad Regulation

Washington. Dec. @ - A
lengthy list of both major and
minor changes in the federal law
relating to railroad regulation is
asked of congress by the interstate
commerce commission in submitting
today its annual report.
Broader and more specific powers
to control and direct the consolida-
tion Of existing systems of railroad
into larger units for the commission
itself was among the points touched
upon. In addition, citing the con-
tinual growth in the variety and
volume of work before its members,
the commission asked for legal pow
/ er to delegate duties in regard to
| hearings and decisions to its indi-
vidual members and employees.
In the direction Of limiting Its
own authority, the commission asked
congress to exempt completely from
1 its jurisdiction the operation Of cleo
trio railways, except such ''as inter-
change standard freight equipment
with steam railways and participate
F., in through interstate freight rates
with such carriers"
The report also proposed that
railroads in the United States be
permitted by law to make joint
through rates with Canadian and
Mexican lines; and suggested
amendments to the penal code to
make workable sections applying
fines to shippers who mis-bill goods
to avoid paying freight rates. For
mer proposals were repeated by the
commission that wooden passenger
cars should be eliminated by law
from general railroad service.
After frequent mention in it's re-
port of the recent trend toward
uniting the steam carriers OF the
country into larger units. and after
reviewing the status of individual
projects before 1t looking in that
direction, the commission summed
up its suggestions for changes In the
railroad consolidation law. To cope
with the trend toward consolidation
the commission asked congress to
make it impossible for one carrier
to gain control of another lin any
manner whatsoever except with our
specific approval and authorize
tion." 1t sought also power to re-
quire grouping Of carriers to HI
clude other railroad systems within
their scheme.
