Kansas Freight Rates Raised But Railroads Lose Passenger Hike
Kansas Industrial Court denies full raise sought by railroads. It accepts a 30 percent freight increase for six months from Oct 1, rejects a 20 percent passenger rise, allows a 50 percent Pullman surcharge, and orders monthly revenue reports while recalculating base rates after Feb 29 1920. The decision fixes western zone rates and notes an error in interstate calculations.
