Santa Fe Rebuked for Long and Short Haul Violation
Interstate Commerce Commission, in an opinion by Commissioner Prouty, finds the Atchison Topeka and Santa Fe and associates violated the fourth section of the Interstate Commerce Act by unequal long and short haul practices. The case stems from war between carriers from Chicago to Colorado, with rate cuts from 92 to 32 cents on fifth class merchandise not matched at intermediate points. Former commissioner Walker argued the law was secretly violated and faulted railroad cooperation, but the commission rejects this, holding that rate disturbances do not justify the long and short haul clause without proper commission guidance.
