Description

Excerpt from Interstate Transportation<br/><br/>The entire first printing of Interstate Transportation having been exhausted immediately upon publication, the author and the publishers took advantage of this fact and de cided to make such changes in the second printing of the book as would bring it down to date, including the Mann Elkins Bill of June 18, 1910, which created a Commerce Court and further amended the Act to Regulate Commerce. The opportunity for a new printing, which has been created by the continued demand for the work has been fully utilized and the law and decisions have been brought down to the minute. The favorable reception given to the original work and its immediate sale has encouraged the author to undertake this revision, which has proven no small task. The scope of the law has been largely increased and the jurisdiction of the Interstate Commerce Commission has been considerably amplified and more fully defined, thus effecting a number of important changes. Certain jurisdiction, which the Commission heretofore exercised by implication or 'by virtue of judicial interpretation and construction, has been expressly conferred by the recent amendment. All of these changes are fully treated of and discussed under their respective chapters. Some of the sections have been rewritten and new sections have been added, including all material decisions rendered since the last printing. All matter which has been clearly superseded by the late amendment has been eliminated, thus presenting the subject as consistently with the present law'as is possible in the absence of any judicial interpretation of the late act. The author again acknowledges valuable assistance at the hands of his brother, Frederick George Barnes.
