Meat Rail Rates Sliced by Interstate Commission
The Interstate Commerce Commission ordered a reduction of meat rail rates effective February 1. Fresh meats moving east from Western pack houses would see major price drops, with Chicago to New York dropping from 7 cents to 79 cents per 100 pounds and similar proportional cuts from other points. Cedar Rapids to New York and nearby routes would pay 69 cents, with 87 cents for more meat to southern destinations from Missouri River points. The decision follows western packing house complaints and opposition from livestock producers and the American Farm Bureau Federation, who warned the cuts could curb competition in western livestock markets. All commission members supported the ruling.
