ICC Approves $300 Million Rail Freight Rate Increase
The Interstate Commerce Commission granted railroads a $300 million annual freight rate increase, about 3 percent, effective in 10 days. It justified the rise to cover $246.4 million in higher wages and $63.1 million in payroll taxes while noting prior reductions had deflationary effects. The decision rebuffed administration fears of inflation and argued the increase would cause less harm to price stability than delaying needed rises.
