Heavy Reductions in Freight Rates Ordered
The Interstate Commerce Commission ordered extensive reductions in freight rates after months of investigation. The Spokane case leads to a 30 percent cut in many routes with three months of testing, while Nevada and Arizona routes see reductions up to 33 1/3 percent. Joint through rates and water-competition issues are addressed, with shifts in earnings and substantial cuts to Pacific Coast and intermountain corridors.
