New York June 12 railroads nationwide unite behind a plan to petition the Interstate Commerce Commission for a general 15 percent rise in freight rates. Eastern western and southern road groups say the move aims to offset tariff cuts since 1921 and could lift revenue by about 10 percent or $106 million. They seek emergency treatment to bypass the 90 day suspension and have the order issued within three months. The plan calls for a general increase not necessarily applied to every rate.
