Railroad wage hikes seen pushing fare increases
The Railroad Leader Board granted about a 20 percent wage rise, totaling over $600 million yearly. To cover the payroll, railroads sought permission from the Interstate Commerce Commission to raise passenger rates 25 percent and freight rates 10 percent, on top of a 30 percent freight increase already filed. If approved, overall rates would rise sharply, likely drawing railroad employee and public opposition.

Increase Your Yield With Drilling Grain
Several farms across states report 3 to 9 bushels per acre gains by drilling small grain rather than broadcasting.
