Edward Chambers of the Santa Fe announces a hearing on April 12 before the Interstate Commerce Commission to seek permission to cut freight rates from Chicago and the Midwest to the Pacific coast to match eastern canal prices. The move aims to restore a competitive market disrupted since canal opening, with other railroads expected to join in requesting broader reductions and rebalancing prices.
