Rehearing Sought in Sleeper Rate Case Watch
Washington sources report plans to seek a rehearing of the Pullman Co. sleeper rate case before the Interstate Commerce Commission. Great Northern is represented by E. C. Lindley, Northern Pacific by C. W. Bunn, Milwaukee by Burton Henson, and Pullman Co. by C. S. Fernald. A Chicago federal court denied an injunction against the commission’s rate reductions set for July 1, and Commissioner Lane, who announced the ruling, is en route to Europe. A postponement of the rate cut is anticipated, with another hearing likely in the fall upon Lane’s return.
