Pullman Fares May Drop Under Interstate Ruling
Washington April 7 The Interstate Commerce Commission may cut Pullman sleeping car rates nationwide after finding the upper berth price of 2.00 is excessive. The order targets Chicago to St Paul and northwestern routes with a proposed 1.50 upper berth rate. The ruling, prepared by Commissioner Lane, signals a shift to pricing based on service rather than distance, likening it to hotel lodging. The commission concluded the sleeping car trust earns large profits and holds ample surplus funds despite capital being halved in recent years.
