Excerpt from Interstate Commerce Law, Act to Regulate Commerce, Vol. 4 Throughout the preceding three parts of "Interstate Commerce Law" the scope and validity of the Act to Regulate Commerce, and of its amendatory and supplemental acts, have been explained in detail. In order that the extraordinary powers established by Congress through these regulatory laws might be properly administered and enforced in the maze of transportation and shipping conditions, the Act to Regulate Commerce provides for the creation and maintenance of the "Interstate Commerce Commission, " a body now consisting of nine members, invested with the necessary authority and charged with the obligation to give the intended force and effect to these laws. The powers vested in the Commission are limited by the terms and spirit of the Act by which they are conferred and delegated. The duties of the Commission are divided into two distinct branches - (1) its administrative duties wherein it exercises certain functions of administration and adopts forms and procedure similar to those in use by courts in enforcing the judicial procedure of the general government, and (2) certain delegated legislative powers which it exercises in prescribing rules, regulations, and transportation rates for the future. In this volume, Part IV of "Interstate Commerce Law, " is presented a complete analysis of the functions of the administrative machinery which the national government has established for the efficient enforcement of its transportation legislation, with comprehensive descriptions of the departmental organization of the Interstate Commerce Commission, its special working divisions, and the rules of practice and procedure which the Commission has adopted and employs in the administration of its affairs and duties.
