New Rate Basis for Packers Ordered by ICC
The Interstate Commerce Commission ordered a new freight rate basis for fresh meat and packing house products in the southwestern territory. Existing 1926 rates were deemed unreasonable, with old schedules kept until new ones are prepared. The mileage scale starts at 15 cents per 100 pounds for fresh meat within five miles and climbs to 1.26 dollars per 100 pounds for 1,700 miles, with proportional charges for intermediate distances. Packing house products begin at 12 cents for five miles and rise to 1.00 dollar for 1,700 miles, with guidance for adding arbitrary amounts to the scale.
