Four Points Settled In Interstate Commerce Case
The Interstate Commerce Commission ruled in favor of Joan P. Squire & Co. against Michigan Central, New York Central, and Boston & Albany, about transportation rates for live hogs, live cattle, and meat products. The decision holds that rates must avoid undue discrimination, be based on actual costs and service, and recognize that rebates by one carrier do not justify similar action by others.
