Lower Rates on Grain Ordered by Interstate Commission
The Interstate Commerce Commission ruled that lower grain transport rates from Trebein and Leesburg Ohio to Norfolk Virginia were unjustified for westward routes beyond Bluefield West Virginia. It found unreasonableness in certain Norfolk and Western mainline rates above 15.9 and 14.9 cents per hundred pounds, while two branch line points east and west of Bluefield remained unproven. The order requires changes by August 15, 1915, and sets two-year continuance with set rate limits from Ohio to Bluefield area. Dewey Brothers Co. of Lancaster Ohio filed the complaints in 1914.
