Railroads win and lose in Interstate Commerce decision
The Interstate Commerce Commission rejects a flat three percent rate increase for eastern railroads but grants increases from one to five percent on certain commodities, and possibly higher on some below cost. It will not advance some goods and warns prices of food and necessities should not rise. The railroads are accused of trying to sway public opinion in their favor. The commission notes the complex task of setting equitable rates and delays in reporting may extend about a month.
