Livestock groups denied bid to suspend rail tariff
Ottawa Ontario The Board of Railway Commissioners has rejected the United Grain Growers Limited of Winnipeg and allied agrarian groups in the West. They sought suspension of the Canadian Pacific Railway livestock tariff effective June for shipments from Canada to the US Pacific coast. The decision cites Commissioners S J McLean and Lawrence and Hon Frank Oliver. The ruling discusses whether double deck rates from Alberta should be based on a 24000 pound minimum or include charges for actual weight over that threshold.
