This volume contains the hearings from the 59th Congress, 1st Session, on H.R. 15846, a bill relating to bills of lading.

This historical record provides insights into the legislative considerations and discussions surrounding maritime and commercial law in the early 20th century United States. It offers valuable primary source material for researchers and students interested in the history of American law, business, and the development of transportation regulations.
