Railroads Seek Four Percent Hike East of Ohio River
The Interstate Commerce Commission was asked to raise eastern rail freight revenues by 141 million dollars yearly by 178 lines in official territory north of the Ohio and Potomac rivers east of the Mississippi.

If approved the hike could apply to shipments passing through or handled within the zone, potentially affecting transcontinental routes. The eastern lines urge all U S railroads to join the proceeding, noting postwar rate hikes and rising operating costs.
