IMPROVEMENTS IN TRUCKING ACT
Association to Fight Rails Recuest for Blanket Rate Increase.
LOUISVILLE, Nov. 17 (U. P)— Joseph B. Eastman, Interstate Comemerce Commission member, speaking before the American Trucking Association convention, suggested improvements in the Motor Carrier Act. “We are not satisfied with our accomplishments in regulation of the motor truck industry, but we think we know how the faults can be corrected,” Mr. Eastman said. He said a special report on the subject would be given to Congress. “I want to see the act amended so that we shall have more power to act without public hearings and more discretion, even when hearings are held, to eliminate the step of a proposed report,” he said.
Fight Rail Increase
An emergency revenue committee to represent the trucking industry at the hearing before the ICC on Nov. 29. when railroads will seek approval of their proposed 15 per cent blanKet freight rates increase, was formed at the convention.
Formation of the committee fol-
lowed recent action taken by the| association in Washington when it | filed an intervening petition with | tie ICC regarding the 15 per cent | rail freight increase proposal. | Evidence will be presented to show | competitive interests and relation- | ships affected by the railroad pro-| posal for rate increases; depressed rates and revenues which have resulted from competitive conditions; anc increasing operating costs the | trucking industry has undergone | since enactment of the rail provi- | sion of the motor carrier act in 1935. |
