Inter state commerce panel to probe railroad rate rise
Washington D C An amended order for investigation into proposed freight rate increases by eastern railroads was issued by the interstate commerce commission. The decision to investigate was carried by a bare majority with Clem ents McChord and Marble dissenting. They argued the commission lacks authority without concrete data to set minimum rates. The commission noted no conclusion on revenues and that parties may sue any rate, with no general ruling affecting that right. No start date was set, and formal actions are not expected before autumn.
