Judge McPherson Rules for Railroads in Missouri Rate Case
Judge McPherson of the U S district court decides Missouri railroads cannot justify two cent passenger and 1907 freight rates as remunerative. He finds state and interstate earnings, costs, and required six percent return show rates are confiscatory, leaving railroads with deficits in many lines. The decision allows possible appeal while keeping old rates in force temporarily.
