Predict Rate Law Clashes With Letter of the Statute
Chicago August 28 A clash between vested railroad interests and the Interstate Commerce Commission is predicted after the new rate bill took effect. E P Ripley head of the Atchison Topeka and Santa Fe says the law will be impossible to obey to the letter, as posting all tariff details would require an enormous volume. He argues lawmakers lack railroad knowledge and expects litigation if rates are forced to be lower than fair. Ripley doubts the ICC has favored roads in the past five years.
