Increased Freight and Passenger Rates Loom for Railroads
The article notes a growing push in Congress to address the railroads crisis as deficits mount. It cites a 1918 net loss of 225 million and a projected 1920 shortfall, with the first quarter showing a 192 million deficit. Public dissatisfaction rises over service and rates, pressuring lawmakers to enact permanent railroad legislation and likely raise freight and possibly passenger rates. Bosses like Walker D. Hines are cited, and Representative Mondell predicts action to restore ownership and tighten government oversight.
