Railroads barred from lower rates to Richmond and the Carolinas
Interstate Commerce Commission rules against continued lower rates from New York and other Eastern points to Washington and prohibits store door freight delivery across several classes. Decisions nullify the push for free home delivery and lower southeastern rates, ending lawsuits by Baltimore and Washington merchants. Commissioner Daniels notes the withdrawal of store door service does not equate to rate increases.
