Washington March 8 The Interstate Commerce Commission granted a 270 million dollar annual freight rate increase to avert railroad insolvencies and spur equipment sales.

The autumn raises on heavy commodities are folded in, some rates show little new increase, with anthracite and certain fuels explicitly excluded.

Ruling of LC.C. disappoints hopes for full freight boost
The Interstate Commerce Commission granted only 15 percent of the railroads requested freight rate increase, dashing Wall Street hopes for a larger aid package. Major authors in New York called the decision disappointing while noting soft coal was exempted and most increases were around five percent. Some lines expect benefits if traffic rebounds from current lows, with carloadings near 16 percent prior to the banking holiday.
