Freight Rates Cut 10 Percent Across Regions
The Interstate Commerce Commission ordered average freight rate reductions of about 10 percent, effective July 1, with 14 percent in the east, 13.5 percent in the west, and 12.5 percent in the south and mountain/pacific areas. Passenger and Pullman charges stay the same, and agricultural products are exempt from the new cut. The commission argues railroads deserve a 5.4 percent return on property value rather than the 6 percent previously deemed reasonable.
