Railroads Move to Enforce Higher Commodity Rates
Eastern railroads filed with the Interstate Commerce Commission tariffs to raise commodity rates effective July 1. Shippers act to seek an injunction while government actions echo earlier restraint moves. Association secretary M. Glenn circulated notices to senators and rail officials, predicting a likely court fight in an eastern city to block the new rates. The rise would cover much of the Mississippi River basin, Atlantic coast, and regions north to the Canadian border, affecting about six percent of business across the impacted territory.
