Book Description
Excerpt from The Practical Administration of Right and Justice by the Interstate Commerce Commission New York was the first to open up a great highway to the West by the completion of the Erie Canal in 1825. This gave New York City an early dominating influence which it has since retained with a waterway up the Hudson connecting with the Erie Canal to the Great Lakes. The invention of the multi-tubular boiler and the adapting of the same to the locomotive by George Stevenson and the construction by him of the Manchester and Liverpool Railroad at a cost of four and one-half million dollars and its successful opening September 15, 1830, with small experiments in America about the same time, marked the ending of the old commercial era and the dramatic opening of a new commercial epoch. Boston, Philadelphia and Baltimore soon seized the new idea and together with New York City extended railroads to the West. Buffalo was the goal of New York and Boston; Pittsburgh as the head of Ohio River navigation, was the aim of Philadelphia and Parkersburg the coveted point for Baltimore. Rails were then built from the South Atlantic ports into the interior and in the West to Cincinnati, St. Louis and Chicago. Rail lines were then extended northwest into Minnesota. These were followed by transcontinental lines to the Pacific Coast and north and south lines from Canada to the Gulf. When the great rail movement started in 1830, the population of the United States was nearly thirteen millions and there were a little over 7 persons to the square mile. The part the railroads played in the industrial and commercial development of the United States was marvelous. By 1870 the development of railroads in the United States was well defined.

Simple though these requirements are, they must be methodically and carefully observed, because unless this is done the order of the Commission, which the complainant may finally obtain in his favor, can be successfully attacked in the courts if the carrier can show that the Commission has not proceeded in accordance with the requirements of the Act.

The Law Relating to the Interstate Commerce Commission

Pages : 456
Book Description
Excerpt from The Law Relating to the Interstate Commerce Commission: Sherman Anti-Trust Act; Bureau of Corporations It will conduce to a clearer understanding of "The Act to Regulate Commerce" to give a brief outline of its general scope, with the object of fixing the rights which it was intended to conserve or create, the wrongs which it proposed to redress and the remedies which the Act established to accomplish the purposes which the lawmakers had in view. The causes which induced the enactment of the statute grew out of the use of railroads as the principal modern instrumentality of commerce. While shippers of merchandise are under no legal necessity to use railroads, they are so practically. The more valuable articles of traffic demand speedy and prompt movement, and the immense outlay of money required to build and maintain railroads, and the necessity of resorting, in securing the rights of way, to the power of eminent domain, in effect disable industrial merchants and shippers from themselves providing such means of carriage. From the very nature of the case, therefore, railroads are monopolies, and the evils that usually accompany monopolies soon began to show themselves and were the cause of loud complaints. The chief complaint of the public was that from the mode in which the carriers imposed their charges it resulted that the rates were unequal; that to make good the loss resulting from the favoritism shown to particular localities, persons, or classes of business, a greater burden was placed upon the remainder of the traffic; and that through the practical monopoly acquired by the railways over the transportation business of the country the shippers were largely at the mercy of the carriers, and that as a result the business of the community, in so far as the same depended upon the use of transportation facilities, was subjected to unequal and unreasonable burdens and exactions.
