New Freight Rates Add Little to Retail Costs
Freight rate increases set to take effect in May will raise consumer costs by about one cent per ten dollars of goods, per a detailed Eastern Railroad Presidents Conference study. A chart shows freight charges remain a small share of retail prices, often under one percent, with rare cases above four percent. The ICC took 469 days to grant the current rise, and postwar delays averaged long for earlier petitions. The report criticizes 1887 regulations as stifling free enterprise and urges a national policy letting railroads set their own management, easing financial pressures from government control.
