Petition Against ICC Freight Rate Hike Dismissed
A federal district court dismissed a petition by nine northeastern states to block an Interstate Commerce Commission order raising class railroad freight rates by 10 percent in the north and east while lowering them in the south and west. The ruling dissolved a temporary injunction that had blocked the rate changes scheduled for January. The decision was praised by Gov Chauncey Sparks of Alabama and Georgia Public Service Commission Chairman Walter R. McDonald as a southern victory. The states argued the order relied on prewar conditions no longer in effect and would shift costs to northern shippers with support from 33 western railroads.
