Sweeping freight rate cuts ordered in Oregon case
The Oregon railroad commission ruled a broad reduction in distributive rates from Portland to points east of The Dalles. First class rates drop by about one sixth from current levels, with other classes following a 1-100, 2-85, 3-70 pattern, while The Dalles rate remains unchanged. The decision allows the O R and N to file new tariffs after a brief transition period, and the chamber of commerce may reopen the case. The Portland Oregonian notes the commission’s cautious, thorough review of shipper allegations of excessive charges and the railroad’s earnings and costs.
