Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book presents the opening argument of George Stuart Patterson on behalf of Eastern carriers before the Interstate Commerce Commission. The year is 1917, the First World War rages on. Patterson makes an urgent plea for increased railroad rates, arguing that the escalated costs of labor, fuel, and materials, along with the government-imposed tax increases, have placed the Eastern carriers in a financially precarious position. Despite recent rate increases granted by the Commission, Patterson emphasizes that the carriers still face a shortfall of $97 million, which threatens their ability to maintain and improve their infrastructure and equipment. He presents evidence of deferred maintenance and a decline in the efficiency of labor, highlighting the urgency of the situation. The author asserts that the requested rate increases are not only crucial for the financial stability of the railroads but also vital to the national defense effort. Patterson concludes by emphasizing that the issue has ceased to be a matter of economics and has become a critical aspect of national security. This book offers a valuable glimpse into the challenges faced by the railroad industry during a pivotal moment in American history.
