Hear Arguments in Shreveport Interstate Case Shreveport briefing set
Examiner Thuriell of the Interstate Commerce Commission will hear testimony starting Monday at the Gunter Hotel in Shreveport as witnesses for the commission and railroads present to urge upholding the ICC tariffs. The hearing moves from Dallas to San Antonio and may last a week or two as testimony on numerous commodities concludes. The goal is to persuade the Texas Supreme Court to reverse the ICC ruling on intra state rates. Shippers claim Texas rates rose up to 25 percent under ICC orders while state powers were shifted to federal oversight. Railroads back the ICC with about fifteen witnesses supporting the original ruling.
