The nation's big railroads will raise freight rates on certain commodities by about 2 percent starting Saturday after the Interstate Commerce Commission approved the plan. Additional 5 percent hikes for stopping trains for local handling were allowed, with higher increases denied. The commission also blocked larger changes for loading at New York and Philadelphia ports while approving up to 10 percent at other points but grounding hikes above that. The railroads argued for 2 to 5 percent increases, averaging 3 percent, due to financial strains.
