Routes Deny Long Haul Freight Reductions
Washington March 13 AP Transcontinental railroads failed again to win Interstate Commerce Commission approval of reduced long haul freight rates without applying cuts to intermediate movements. The five year case by western carriers sought 47 commodities from west origin to Pacific coast terminals to match Panama Canal shipments. The commission, 7 to 2, said data did not prove reductions would be fully compensatory if applied to short hauls, noting potential revenue losses for eastern lines and slight gains for western and water routes overall. Dissenting members argued essential questions about intermediate rates remained unresolved.
