Decision Favors Railroads in ICC Ruling
In an opinion by Chairman Knapp the Interstate Commerce Commission announced a decision in the case of Louis Hay and Grain Co against Illinois Central and Mobile and Ohio Railroads. The ruling finds that lower through rates in and out rates are not by itself grounds for objection nor unlawful to maintain reconsignment rates higher in some cases. It also holds that reconsignment rates sometimes matching the proportion of other rates does not imply illegal conduct or discrimination.
