It kept first class rates, ordered second class rates up from 1.21 to 1.29 then reduced to 1.25, and restored former rates on other classes. The panel found no proven necessity for higher revenue and urged railroads to show cost efficiency before any general rise. The Southwestern case saw no change to first class rates as railroads there were not as prosperous.
