Boost in Freight Rates Suggested by Interstate Commerce
Washington dispatch reports the Interstate Commerce Commission signaled support for allowing freight rate increases if traffic improves. Railroads cite rising 1934 shipments over 1933 and 1932, while shippers oppose proposed hikes on various commodities. The commission notes higher railroad wages due by April 1 and material costs, and says carrier ability to bear increases depends on traffic revival. Freight rates remain below 1926 prosperity levels, with passenger fares far lower and wage restoration anticipated.
