Rates Slashed Across Pacific Routes by Interstate Board
The Inter-State Commerce Commission ordered sweeping reductions in freight rates on transcontinental lines. Major cuts target Pacific Coast and inter-mountain routes, with some class and commodity rates dropping up to 50 percent and typical reductions around 20 to 33 percent. Decisions cover Northern Pacific, Great Northern, Southern Pacific, Santa Fe, and others, aiming to equalize through routes from Chicago and eastern points to Spokane Reno and Pacific terminals.
