Rates on Freight Won’t Be Slashed
The Interstate Commerce Commission, in a 7 to 3 ruling, kept the general railroad freight rate structure as reasonable under current conditions and rejected a blanket reduction sought by farm, lumber, coal, and other groups. It urged carriers to consider downward revisions in grain, lumber, and export coal, and to maintain rate peaks where justified while cutting unjust ones. The petition, filed in January by farm groups, the National Coal Association, and the National Lumber Manufacturers Association, argued rates had stayed high during declining commodity prices.
