Proclamations by the President Relating to the United States Railroad Administration and General Orders and Circulars Issued by the Director General of Railroads. At head of title page: United States Railroad Administration Director General of Railroads Supplement to Bulletin No. 4 Revised.

Brandeis in ink to head of front wrapper. Moderate toning to interior. $650. * Only edition. Brandeis's ownership of this title, a list of internal and external acts relating to railroad administration from 1917-1918, points to the deep and broad research that informed his legal opinions. Railroad administration was a hot-button issue of the early twentieth century, touching on various aspects of the federal government's commercial and military authority. It was also a topic close to Brandeis's heart after his successful actions against J.P. Morgan's New Haven railroad monopoly in 1914.
