The Emergency Railroad Transportation Act, 1933, Edwin C. Goddard
Michigan Law Review
From Munn v. Illinois to the Emergency Railroad Transportation Act of 1933 has been a long journey traveled by the public and the public utilities, notably the largest public utility, the railroads. In 1876 the very term "public utility" was unknown. The idea that the public could break in on laissez faire and regulate any business was to the persons regulated, and to their lawyers, odious. With them agreed Justices Field, Brewer, Peckham, and many another, who predicted that the public would not long tolerate such interference with business. But prophecy is hazardous, and these prophets were wrong.
Interstate Ferries And The Commerce Clause, C. M. Kneier
Interstate Ferries And The Commerce Clause, C. M. Kneier
Michigan Law Review

It is the purpose of this study to point out what action Congress has taken under the power thus conferred upon it relative to interstate ferries and to determine the relative spheres of authority of the states and of the National Government over this subject.
