Railroads seek 15 percent freight rate raise
Washington June 17 railroads led by the Great Northern Western and Southern lines petitioned for a blanket 15 percent increase to add about 400 million dollars in annual gross income. They argued the cut in operating revenue due to the economic decline requires urgent action and proposed a limited inquiry to speed hearings. They cited financial strain and declined returns for the first quarter of the year, urging a fair return of about 6 percent and warning of impaired credit and higher costs if relief is delayed.
