Interstate Commerce Commission Order Targets Railroads Refund
The Interstate Commerce Commission orders railroads earning over six percent on transportation property during Sept 1 1920 to Jan 1 1921 to refund half of the excess earnings to the government. The measure, tied to the 1920 Transportation Act, sets rates through March 1 1922 to ensure at least five and one half percent returns and directs half of earnings above six percent to be reclaimed. Earnings in late 1921 and early 1922 exceeded the limit, but exact refundable amounts await property valuations.
