Roads need wage cuts to trim railroad rates
Director Parmalee of the Bureau of Railway Economies says operating expenses must be reduced by about 800 million dollars annually before rail managers can seek freight rate reductions from the Interstate Commerce Commission. He notes no general rate reduction will occur until late summer or fall, but believes lower costs would eventually lower commodity prices and revive business, given railroads now run nearly 700 million dollars a year short of their six percent net income target.
