Express Rate Increase Boosts Express Company Income
Washington reports a twelve and a half percent rate hike for railway express fees, expected to add about 35.5 million dollars in annual income for the American Railway Express Company. The Interstate Commerce Commission approved the increase, noting no adequate basis to limit the amount, and left open questions on future mergers and new contracts. The ruling allows retention of the full awarded sum while signaling potential further rate requests to cover rising warehousing costs.
