Proposed Higher Freight Rates Canceled by Commission
Washington D C cancellation of proposed general increases in freight rates by transcontinental railroads from and to the Pacific Coast and Intermountain country was authorized Wednesday by the Interstate Commerce Commission. A compromise was announced for a maximum increase of 10 cents per hundred pounds on inland shipments and 25 cents on traffic to the West Coast. The proposed hikes were often hundreds of percent and were suspended after hearings in which shippers protested vigorously. The commission canceled hearings for November and December in Chicago, Salt Lake City, San Francisco, Portland, and Spokane. No changes to intermountain points from the Eastern territory are planned, and discriminations between Pacific ports and intermountain cities will be reduced to the extent of the increase to Pacific Coast ports.
