Why Rebates Were Abolished By Railroads
The Interstate Commerce Commission hearing reveals that the Pennsylvania Railroad and allies pursued a community of interests plan to end freight rebates. James McCrea testified that managers believed rebates were unwise and that the move aimed to restore faith among rival lines, with rates later rising and the shipper treated fairly. Cassatt prepared to testify but delayed by Europe trip.
