Yellow Pine Rates Declared Unjust by Commission Ruling
The Interstate Commerce Commission ruled that a 2 cent per hundredweight lumber rate hike from southern points to Ohio River destinations was unreasonable and unjust. In the Yellow Pine case the commission found the 2 cent rise was not warranted and resulted from concerted action by carriers, implying possible anti trust concerns. The decision notes the commission will assess rate reasonableness against fair compensation for services, not carrier profits.
