Eastern roads seek five percent freight rate hike hearing held
Fifty two eastern railroads represented by George S. Patterson and Daniel Willard asked the Interstate Commerce Commission for a five percent freight rate increase. The hearing before Commissioner Harlan covered questions the commission posed, with Brandeis proposing a representative month for answers. Cost and time to respond proved prohibitive for many lines, notably New York Central, which cited about 75000 in clerical costs and a year to answer mileage questions. The Baltimore and Ohio suggested reviewing 100000 material contracts and offering originals, a plan Brandeis approved.
