Decision Favors Railroad in Dallas Freight Rates
The Interstate Commerce Commission dismissed the Dallas freight bureau’s complaint against the Missouri Kansas and Texas Railroad without prejudice. It found no sufficient basis to order a rate reduction and held that complainants must prove their issues with competent testimony or a clear prima facie case. The ruling notes that comparing rates to distant points with different conditions is insufficient. Commissioner Harlan authored the decision with Commissioner Clements dissenting.
