Higher rail rate plan picked up by AP
The Associated Press reports that a nationwide rate overhaul begins, aiming to lift freight, passenger, Pullman, excess baggage and milk charges by Sept. 1 after ICC approval. State commissions will seek parallel intrastate increases, with 40 percent in eastern, 25 in southern and mountain Pacific, 35 in western territories, while freight rates on certain lines rise 33 1/3 percent for cross-territory movements. The Pullman 50 percent surcharge is deemed to add value and sustain service costs. Public reactions note the plan as fair, with state rail commissions participating in hearings and predicting implementation by Sept. 1, 1920. The article also mentions stock market reactions and a brief note on Bolshevik naval plans.
