Whereas the railroads in official classification territory have announced that they will make effective at an early date a general advance in all class and commodity rates, and have recently advanced certain rates from 8 to more than 60 per cent, and have filed tariffs with the Interstate Commerce Commission, to become effective after June 1, advanc- ing certain other rates from 8 to more than 30 per cent; and whereas shippers' associations in various parts of the country, after careful investigation, have protested against such advances upon the ground that the same are unreasonable; and whereas the fact that such increases are uniform by all railroads in the same territory, are identical in amount for the Same Service, and take effect at the same time, indicating that such advances are the result of traffic agreements in violation of law: Therefore be it Resolved, That it is the sense of the Senate that the Attorney General should proceed at once to institute actions enjoining Such advances as have been and may be filed with the Interstate Commerce Commission and should also institute prosecutions of the railroads filing such rates as being in violation of the act of Congress approved July 2, 1890, entitled “An act to protect trade and commerce against unlawful restraints and monopolies.” - June 3.

Referred to Committee on Interstate Commerce and ordered to be printed. Message from the President: “To the Senate and House of Representatives: A recent effort by a large number of railroad companies to increase rates for interstate transpor- tation of persons and property caused me to direct the Attorney General to bring a suit and secure from the United States court in Missouri an injunction restraining the - operation of such increased rates during the pendency of the proceeding. This action * . . led to a conference with the representatives of the railroad companies so enjoined and the agreement by each of them to withdraw the proposed increases of rates effective on or after June 1, and not to file any further attempted increases until after the enactment into law of the pending bill to amend the interstate commerce act, or the adjournment of the Congress; with the further understanding that upon the enactment of such law each would submit to the determination of the Interstate Commerce Commission the ques- tion of the reasonableness of all increases that each might thereafter propose. It is my – hope that all of the other railroad companies will take like action. In order, however, that each may have the benefit of a speedy determination of the question whether or not its proposed increases in rates are justifiable, provision should be made by Congress to vest the Interstate Commerce Commission with jurisdiction over such question as soon as possible. In the Senate amendment to section 15 of the act to regulate commerce as contained in H. R. 17536, the Interstate Commerce Commission is empowered, immediately upon the filing of a proposed increase in rates, of its own motion or upon complaint, to enter upon an investigation and determination of the justice and reason- ableness of such increase and, in case it deems it expedient, to suspend the operation thereof for a period specified in the section to enable it to complete such investigation. That bill, however, provides that the act shall take effect and be in force only from and and after the expiration of 60 days after its passage. This provision, if allowed to remain in the bill, would enable carriers between the time of the enactment of the bill and the time of its taking effect to file increases in rates, which would become effective at the expiration of 30 days, and remain in effect and be collected from the public during the pendency of proceedings to review them; whereas if the bill be made to take effect immediately, such investigation will have to be made before the public is called upon to pay the increased rates. I therefore recommend that this latter provision be modi- fied by providing that at least section 9 of the Senate amendments to the bill, which is the section authorizing the Commission to suspend the going into effect of increases in rates until after due investigation, shall take effect immediately upon the passage of the act.
