Iowa Rate Law To Be Modified In War Measure
A Des Moines conference heard assurances that a proposed twenty five percent rail rate increase will be modified to apply only to existing state rates and classifications. The plan, tied to a Western classification, faced strong protests from manufacturers and shippers. Officials indicated the adjustment would remove objectionable features, while the plan to raise intrastate rates for some goods was challenged as beyond Secretary McAdoo’s power without state consent. Passenger rate hikes already took effect.
