Railroads face overcharge issue before Interstate Commerce Commission
In Chicago on February 20, officials and attorneys for the Alton road asked the Interstate Commerce Commission to rule on settling old overcharges and refunds. Commissioner E B Clark warned such a blanket order could undermine the anti rebate law, suggesting only cases with peers and favorable decisions might proceed. Alton officials argued refunds for switching charges tied to grain inbound since last August, while other lines did not receive the same privilege. Some Alton leaders, recently convicted of rebating, refused to pay the claims amid concerns over legal interpretation.
