Railroads plan blanket rate increases across the nation
Railroads prepare nationwide rate schedules and raise passenger, Pullman, baggage and milk charges. The Interstate Commerce Commission aims to set new tariffs five days before they take effect with local officials applying increases using current rates plus the allowed percentage. Officials estimate government losses under the transport act could end by September 1. A rail labor economist argues most consumer prices won’t rise, but warns against profiteering and warns the public to monitor for unjustified rate hikes.

Interstate Commerce findings raise rail rate concerns
Mr Lauck warned that railroad rate increases would raise coal prices by 75 cents to 1.38 dollars per ton. He argued wholesale meat costs would rise little, under a cent per pound for feed cattle and livestock transport.
