Combination among western railroads disclosed before ICC
Chicago May 22 An apparent combination to oppose electric roads surfaced at the interstate commerce commission hearing. Officials testified the Monon Wabash Rock Island and Illinois Central refused to join through freight tariffs unless a western trunk line committee backed it. They argued the electric line cannot handle freight and warned through rates with any nonperforming line. The test case could trigger hundreds of similar applications if the commission rules otherwise.
