Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book offers an analysis of a convention held by entities involved in the transportation industry, specifically railroad and shipping interests, in 1904 and 1905. The convention was held in direct response to proposed legislation put forth by President Theodore Roosevelt that would have given the Interstate Commerce Commission greater power in regulating rates. The text provides an extensive record of the proceedings, including the names of attendees, committee appointments, and proposals raised at the convention. Attendees represented a wide range of commercial and industrial interests, and the proposed legislation faced strong opposition from railroad and shipping entities during this convention and in the years preceding it. The book serves as a valuable resource for understanding the history of debates over the regulation of transportation in the United States. Through this record of positions taken by various stakeholders, this book sheds light on the development of business regulation during the early twentieth century.
