Eastern Railroads Bitter Over Rate Decision
Railroad officials in the East express strong disappointment over the Interstate Commerce Commission ruling against a 15 percent freight rate increase. They claim their case was stronger than Western and Southern roads, noting higher costs and war-related expenses. They warn higher capital needs and diluted securities as war demand pressure grows, with the commission planning another review in October.

Railroads Win Denial of Rate Increase by I C C
The Interstate Commerce Commission denied railroads demand for higher tariffs in a long study of operations through February 1917. Eastern lines faced severe weather, car shortages, and wage rises, while Southern and Western lines showed improving revenue. The commission proposed limited increases in coal and coke rates in the West and South to preserve district relations, and suspended most other tariffs. Commissioners discussed war-time transport needs, car distribution, and potential congressional action on fuel and supply costs.
