Publisher's Synopsis
Long And Short Haul On Railroads V2 is a historical book that contains the transcripts of hearings before the Committee On Interstate And Foreign Commerce of the House of Representatives in 1918. The book discusses the issue of railroad rates and the concept of the long and short haul. The long and short haul refers to the practice of charging different rates for transportation over the same distance, depending on the origin and destination of the shipment. The hearings explore the impact of this practice on the economy and the public, and the need for regulation to ensure fair and reasonable rates. The book provides valuable insights into the history of transportation and commerce in the United States and the role of government in regulating these industries.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
