The Interstate Commerce Commission orders rail carriers in the central territory including Indiana Illinois and Michigan to apply a maximum 2 cent per mile rate to all interstate passenger business until May 1 1912 effectively removing the previous higher intrastate and interstate disparity. The commission notes the present 2 cent intrastate rate and the 2 to 3 percent per mile interstate rate and calls the dual pricing indefensible while carriers seek data to justify returns.
