Indiana Railroad Commission Rules Coal Rates In A Case
The Indiana railroad commission today ordered reductions in freight rates for coal shipped from the Indiana coal field to South Bend and Mishawaka, establishing a principle that no delivery point may be discriminated against when rates to other points are set by the same carrier. The ruling, applied to Vandalia lines and feeder routes, aims to curb discrimination and is described as the commission’s most important decision, with indirect application to all railroad systems.
