Railroads Defy Government With Eastern Tariff Increase
Eastern railroads filed for tariffs raising commodity rates to take effect July 1 despite a court restraining order. The move drew a coordinated protest from shippers led by the Illinois Manufacturing Association and prompted possible court action to block the increases, affecting routes from the Mississippi to the Atlantic and north of the Ohio. The government lawsuit targets western long-haul rate hikes and signals a broad anti-railway campaign.
