Ruling limits rail labor cost claims during federal control
The Interstate Commerce Commission ruled that labor cost allowances during the six month private control period cover only increased wages, not labor inefficiency. Railroads may not seek losses tied to alleged unproductive labor, reducing potential tens of millions in disputed costs. The decision focuses on the meaning of cost of labor in wartime contracts and upholds a strict accounting approach to returning equipment and facilities to prewar condition.
