The heart of the railroad problem

Note 381 — Chapter XXXII · REMEDIES.

Reading edition

The Bill provides that “Whenever ... the Interstate Commerce Commission shall ... make any finding or ruling declaring any rate, regulation or practice whatsoever affecting the transportation of persons or property to be unreasonable or unjustly discriminatory the Commission shall have power and it shall be its duty to declare and order what shall be a just and reasonable rate, practice or regulation to be ... imposed or followed in the future in place of that found to be unreasonable” etc. It also provides that the order of the Commission shall take effect 30 days after notice, but may on appeal within 60 days be reviewed by a special transportation court having exclusive jurisdiction of all such cases. By Section 12, the case is to be reviewed on the original record, except when there is newly discovered evidence which was not known at the hearing before the Commission, or could not have been known with due diligence, and the findings of fact by the Commission are prima facie evidence of each and every fact found. The only appeal from the court of transportation is to the United States Supreme Court.
