Higher Freight and Passenger Rates Supported by Rail Officials
Washington August 4 The interstate commerce commission approved increases in weight and passenger tariffs with rates to take effect August 20 for passengers and August 25 for freight. Canadian rates are expected to mirror the changes, raising shipments to Canada by up to 40 percent from eastern U S roads and 35 percent from western lines. Analysts project higher living costs, about 73 dollars per year per person, or 265 per family of five, though industry spokesmen offer countervailing views on wage and price dynamics.
