Railways Denied Rate Advances by Interstate Commission
The Interstate Commerce Commission denied proposed rate increases for eastern and western rail routes, ordering carriers to revert to prior tariffs by March 10 or face formal suspensions. In the Southwestern rate case, second class rates must drop from 1.21 to 1.25, while other classes return to pre increase levels. Commissioner Lane notes railroads' revenue, dividends, and surplus rose under regulation, arguing no need for higher rates to maintain credit.
