Michigan Law Review
Following the taking over of the railroads under proclamation of the President dated December 26, 1917, it was suggested by Mr. McAdoo, Director General of Railroads, that various express companies whose contracts with the railroads for transportation of goods pursuant to the general conduct of the express business had been virtually annulled by the proclamation, should form a new corporation, transfer to it property used in the express business and receive in consideration stock in the new company.
