Trucking group vows further attack on rail pick up service
Washington May 15 The American Trucking Associations Inc says the Interstate Commerce Commission erred in withholding suspension of eastern railroads tariffs for collection and delivery. It argues legal questions underlie accessorial services and plans to seek reconsideration of the ICC ruling. The decision allows tariffs with ten days notice and a minimum charge of 80 cents per 100 pounds, or less‑than‑carload freight, without shipper or consignee allowances.

Salt River lettuce shippers win lower tariff rates
The Interstate Commerce Commission reversed an examiner and ruled Salt River valley lettuce shippers may charge no more than 90 percent of California in carload rates to the same destinations. The decision rejects reparations for past freight, saving local shippers an estimated 300000 to 500000 dollars annually and boosting about 35 dollars per car versus Imperial, Salinas and other California points. Counsel J. N. Furlong called the move a step forward but urged further reductions and past-charge reparations, with plans to appeal for reargument.
