Railroads Face Two-Cent Fare Battle in Missouri
A temporary restraining order blocks seven Missouri railroads in St. Louis as Attorney General Hadley seeks enforcement of a two-cent passenger fare and a maximum freight rate law. Similar actions target other roads in Kansas City with eighteen roads involved. Rail officials must show cause June 24 why the injunction should not be made permanent despite tickets already sold at three-cent rates. Hadley accuses the railroads of fraud for obtaining a federal injunction and vows to continue the fight to uphold the lower fares.
