Appeal for Freight Rates Rise by Railways
The Board of Transport Commissioners considers an interim 15 percent and a permanent 20 percent freight rate increase sought by the Railway Association of Canada on behalf of Canadian Pacific and Canadian National. The move cites 17 cents per hour wage hikes for rail workers and other rising costs, with estimates the wage increase could cost CPR and CNR about 76.5 million dollars yearly. Grain rates and coal rates have limited adjustments, while grain products between Western Canada points remain unaffected. Public hearings may follow after notice to interested parties and provincial governments.
