Interstate Commerce ruling keeps Peach case closed
The Interstate Commerce Commission denied a rehearing in the Boston Fruit and Produce Exchange case against several railroads led by the Pennsylvania Railroad. The commission upheld a single through rate and rejected mileage-based division, noting peculiarities favoring the Pennsylvania line and urging fair, negotiated divisions among carriers. The decision also clarifies views on joint tariffs and the overall rate for the through service. APPOINTMENT OF CADETS The President has appointed several cadets to the Military Academy at West Point, with admissions set for next June, exhausting this year's aloft appointments.
