A plan to raise western to Atlantic freight tariffs will be submitted to the Interstate Commerce Commission and take effect June 1. Railroads signal a nationwide move to lift freight charges to cover higher operating costs, with notable increases for routes from Minneapolis and St Paul to New York and other Atlantic ports. Current rate from Minneapolis to New York is 864 cents per hundred pounds, rising by four cents per hundred pounds under the tariff, a roughly 20 percent jump. Boston and other destinations see proportionate increases. An additional rate hike affects hog shipments between Minneapolis, St Paul, and Chicago, up 24 cents per hundred pounds, about 12 percent higher than present. The increases apply to all roads within Western Freight Association territory and will be implemented simultaneously.
