Interstate Commerce Commission rules on poultry shipping rates
The Interstate Commerce Commission, in a decision led by Chairman Knapp, ruled against the St. Louis and San Francisco Railway. It found higher live poultry rates from Marshfield to Chicago compared with longer moves from Springfield and distant stations, deeming the Marshfield surcharge unjustified and a violation of established rules. The ruling states the carrier cannot be a local Marshfield line while through shipping from Springfield and other points justifies higher Chicago rates.
