Wisconsin rate hike spark to revise freight minimum
Madison Sept 11 The Wisconsin rate commission heard protests against raising the minimum package freight rate from 2 to 40 cents. Railroads fear a Chicago traffic managers’ conference may abandon the increase, so the commission kept the hearing open while many complainants asked for more time to prepare their cases. The commission had begun its own investigation after the rate change.
