Rate Cut to Save Living Cost Billion
Washington estimates the 10 percent freight rate cut by the Interstate Commerce Commission could slice the national cost of living by about $1 billion annually. Officials project a $10 per person yearly saving as freight bills drop from roughly $300 million to $400 million a year. Government experts say the impact on consumer prices depends on pass through, with Justice Department orders ensuring the cut is reflected at the consumer level. The cut becomes effective by July 1 and may spur business, though railroad executives may sue the measure and seek wage cuts via the labor board.
