Western roads press for higher grain freight rates
Chicago March 12 Forty one western railroads say they would gain about 10 900 000 in extra annual revenue if freight tariffs on grain from Iowa Kansas Oklahoma Nebraska and Missouri rise. Co G Wright chief counsel told the interstate commerce commission hearing that one cent per hundred pounds to Chicago and two cents to gulf ports for export would raise roughly 33 000 000 from grain shipments. Shippers oppose arguing farmers would bear the burden while Wright says buyers and ultimately consumers pay. The railroads contend current rates do not reflect revenue proportional to other commodities.
