The Interstate Commerce Commission in a Washington report concludes grain and corn rates from the Missouri River to Chicago and the Mississippi are excessive. It calls for reductions, including 2 cents west of the Missouri, and identical rates for wheat and flour with corn, plus through-carriage provisions to lower long-distance transport costs. The commission urges amendments to ensure through rates on connecting lines.
