New Railway Rate Law Takes Effect in Interstate Traffic
The new railway rate law, approved by Congress, goes into effect at midnight for all railroads engaged in interstate business. The Interstate Commerce Commission will enforce the schedule filings and switching charges, with time extensions likely for compliance. A Washington conference will address tariff rules, including restrictions on cross state shipments of company manufactured goods. Meanwhile a Pittsburgh police officer, David Bowles, remains jailed on murder charges after firing on Herbert Gowland during a pursuit linked to a coin loafing case.
