Railroads Seek Substantial Increase in Mail Hauling Pay
The rail industry petitioned the Interstate Commerce Commission for at least a 48 percent raise in payments for hauling U.S. mail. Filed 24 hours after Postmaster General Summerfield urged Congress for a general rate increase, the move aims to help the Post Office Department, which is running in the red. Summerfield estimates the hikes could yield about 241 million dollars annually in additional revenue, while overall transportation costs could rise by about 143 million dollars a year, absorbing much of the requested revenue boost.
