State Commission Denies Rate Plea on Wire Shipments
The Iowa Railroad Commission denied the Rock Island lines and eastern wire manufacturers’ plea to reconsider a fabrication in transit order. Hearings set for April 18 cover emergency intra state freight rate increases and a separate transmission line permit in Harrison county. The commission also approved Chicago and Northwestern Ry to discontinue a Merrill agency with a custodian kept, and rejected a demand for five man crews on mixed trains citing insufficient hazard evidence.
