[Investigations] ("J" files), 1912-1937.

http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/313866030

This unidentified set of files, apparently generated mainly by the commission's assistant secretary/secretary Thomas Yapp, appears to contain administrative files and investigations by the Railroad and Warehouse Commission of accidents, complaints, and problems that fell within its purview. They include train derailments and other rail and non-rail accidents; problems with construction of rail cars, tracks, and bridges; elevators and warehouses that failed to submit required reports to the commission; alleged attempts by warehouses, elevators, and shipping companies to cheat on weights and tariffs; and requests for expansion of rail service. Reports were generated by commission special agents/inspectors Charles Watson and Thomas W. Callahan.
