Dated April 3, 1924, this glass negative records a session of an advisory committee charged with coordinating rail and water transportation, a question that occupied Washington through the early 1920s. The title comes from data written on the negative sleeve by the National Photo Company, the Washington firm that documented officials and public events, and it has not been independently verified. In those years, lawmakers and regulators were weighing how railroads, inland waterways and shipping lines might work together rather than compete. Streaks and blemishes on the glass reflect natural deterioration of its original coating, a common condition in negatives of this age.
