Big Railroad Fares Hike to Aid War Costs
Director General McAdoo ordered a 25 percent rise in freight rates and a 3 cent per mile cap on passenger fares, effective June 10 for passengers and June 25 for freight. The move, tied to wage boosts and coal costs, aims to raise 800 to 900 million dollars in the next year. It abolishes most lower interstate rates and ends many special rates while granting limited veteran reductions.
