Freight Rate Order Upheld by Federal Court
A three judge federal court in a final decree upheld an Interstate Commerce Commission rail freight rate order. It increases rates in the north and east and reduces them in the south. The petitions of nine northern and eastern states and 33 western railroads were set aside. An appeal window of six days to the U S Supreme Court was established. The decree notes the path remains to the high court for novel questions of law.
