Wisconsin Grants Rail Freight Rate Increases
The Wisconsin Commerce Commission approved about 100 per cent increases on railroad freight charges within the state, boosting intrastate freight and switching income. The action targets dependent markets while noting the depression era context and anticipated partial implementation to ease financial strain. Previous intrastate freight totals in 1937 showed shipments within the state reaching seven to ten million tons with intrastate freight income near $9.2 million and switching income around $1 million.

Jobs estimated for 4 million under big spending bill
The administration estimates the $3,053,425,000 spending measure will create about 4,135,000 jobs, with the House Appropriations Committee including that figure in its report shortly before debate began. Secretary Ickes opened the Public Works Administration to new applications for a $1,465,000,600 program, directing regional offices to accept proposals while 2,714 projects already filed lack funding. The bill would authorize $965,000,000 for loans and grants, plus up to $500,000,000 in bonds to CFR for a revolving loan fund. The aim is rapid direct and indirect employment for unemployed citizens, though the committee warned of possible disappointment from earmarking gaps.
