Railroads Stand By Lower Fares Amid Revenue Debate
Since 1920 passenger rail travel has fallen sharply and losses topped 200 million yearly from 1931 to 1933. The Interstate Commerce Commission issued orders in 1934 to cut coach fares to two cents per mile and Pullmans to three, aiming to boost net revenues. Southern and Western lines welcomed the move, but Pennsylvania, New York Central, and New Haven object, arguing it reduces their income. The commission asserts managerial authority, drawing four dissents. The piece ends with a moral note on wealth and power.
