Restrictive Railway Legislation is a book written by Henry Stevens Haines in 1905. The book focuses on the history of railway legislation in the United States and the impact it has had on the railroad industry. Haines argues that the government's attempts to regulate the industry have been overly restrictive and have hindered the growth and development of railroads. He provides a detailed analysis of the various laws and regulations that have been enacted, including the Interstate Commerce Act and the Sherman Antitrust Act. Haines also offers suggestions for how the government can better regulate the industry without stifling innovation and progress. The book is a valuable resource for anyone interested in the history of the railroad industry and the role of government in regulating business.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
