Interstate Commerce Board Extends Rates Decision To Jan 2
Washington November 28 The Interstate Commerce Commission extended the effective date of its orders fixing reasonable rates in cases against the Southern Pacific and other lines to January 2 to allow an inter mountain tariff that broadens reductions across the western sector The extension follows debates over long and short haul provisions under the Interstate Commerce Act with western lines led by Union Pacific Southern Pacific and Great Northern arguing export and import rates fall under the clause while eastern and southern roads led by the Pennsylvania system argue otherwise The commission has previously set reasonable rates in three cases dealing with Nevada and Maricopa traffic and Sacramento to Southern Pacific main line routes The ruling aims to prevent preferential treatment for any community in tariff structures and to simplify tariffs in the western area
