Railroads Seek 15 Percent Freight Rate Increase
U S railroads petitioned the Interstate Commerce Commission for a 15 percent rise in freight rates to counter declining revenues and fund operations. They urged a limited review to allow earlier effect, signaling possible hearings in autumn. The industry noted a 2.4 percent return in 192? for Class I lines and warned of impaired credit and bond risks. In St Paul, the state railroad commission opposed the move, urging rate cuts instead and planning a protest.
