Taft Wins Rail Rate Pact With Eastern Roads
President Taft won a key concession from Eastern railroads ensuring no rate increases in the Atlantic seaboard to Chicago and north of the Ohio River until the Interstate Commerce Commission can review reasonableness. Leaders of the Pennsylvanian, New York Central, and Southern railways attended a friendly White House conference agreeing that if the railroad bill passes by July 1 the rates will be reviewed under the new law. otherwise, filings proceed under existing terms. The agreement shields shippers nationwide from immediate hikes and ends a potential government-road clash, praised by railroad officials as diplomacy at work.
