Centralized Creamery Method Upheld in Rail Rate Ruling
Interstate Commerce Commission orders reduced rail rates in creamery cases involving Beatrice and Fairmont Creameries against the Illinois Central and other railroads and Michigan Central. It supports centralizer supply method as best for farmers, avoiding bias toward local creamery production, guiding fair transportation charges nationwide. The decision allows rates to be set with three days notice and notes public rate concerns. Secretary Root and Ambassador Bryce seal a Newfoundland fisheries treaty accord pending colonial consent with The Hague expected to act promptly.
