Railroads Seek 16 Percent Freight Rate Increase
Washington reports that U S railroads filed a petition with the Interstate Commerce Commission for a blanket 16 percent rise in freight rates aimed at offsetting declining operating revenues. The request, backed by eastern western and southern lines, seeks early hearings but warns of a delayed decision likely by autumn. The brief argues the increase would restore a fair return while noting current rates yield under 4 percent, well below the 5.75 percent legal standard. Wall Street notes insurers may back the measure, with life companies controlling over 3 billion in railway bonds.
