Hearings Before the Committee on Interstate and Foreign Commerce: Of the House of Representatives on Grain Inspection and Grading Bills, May 20, 1910 (Classic Reprint) - Softcover
Synopsis
A historic hearing explores how a federal grain-inspection system could bring uniform grades to interstate trade, helping buyers and sellers alike.
The proceedings cover two proposed bills that would establish federal inspection and grading of grain and aim for uniform classifications across markets. It also highlights the arguments of industry groups, including the Baltimore Chamber of Commerce and the Philadelphia Commercial Exchange, about how such a system would work in practice and its potential impact on grain marketing.
The discussion touches on constitutional questions, the timing of inspection, and how federal standards would interact with state powers. The testimony reflects concerns about accuracy, fair competition, and the practical effects on terminals, elevators, and merchants nationwide.
- Learn how the bills aim to create a permanent “United States standard” for grain grades.
- Understand the key constitutional questions about federal versus state control of inspection.
- See what industry groups say about the practical effects on grain markets and shipping.
- Get a sense of how inspection and grading would influence terminals, warehouses, and interstate commerce.
Ideal for readers curious about early federal involvement in crop trading, trade policy, and the history of grain regulation.

The book also examines the police power reserved to the states, and to what extent, if any, that power allows individual states to create commercial regulations. The book concludes with a review of related topics, such as import and export laws, and the possible effects of federal grain standards on prices and trade.
