Interstate Commerce Commission Rules Grain Rates Unjustified
The Interstate Commerce Commission ruled Cannon Falls Farmers Elevator Co versus Chicago Great Western Railway Co and Cinergy Milwaukee and St Paul Railway Co. The decision holds rates on rye and other coarse grain from Cannon Falls to Minneapolis Chicago and other routes are unjustified, with the shipping disadvantage and manipulated billing leading to higher total charges. The commission condemns reduced routing to Duluth and Louisville or East St Louis as wrongful, overstating grain rate inequities.
