TEST SUIT MAY FOLLOW RULING ON RAIL RATES
Litigation loomed as probable to day to test the entire jurisdiction of the Indiana public service commission in intrastate railroad rates and the constitutionality of the 1929 statute under which the commission acted Friday in wiping out a new rate set up for iron and steel products in intrastate shipment in Indiana. The order found proposed increased rates not justified and that no justification existed for rates other than current ones. Old rates on a group basis would remain unless courts rule otherwise, saving shippers hundreds of thousands of dollars annually. Also, rail and telecom moves were approved, including Buckeye station abandonment and exchanges sales and transfers in Indiana.
