Postpone Decision In St. Louis Illinois Case
The Interstate Commerce Commission indefinitely postpones the effective date of its St. Louis Illinois freight and passenger rate ruling. The order cites good cause and delays the date previously set for October 16, amid findings that current passenger fares beyond 24 cents per mile plus crossing tolls are unreasonable. The action reflects not overruling Illinois two-cent law and leaves the matter open.
