Increased rates threaten Nevada mining industry and rail traffic
Nevada officials warn the Interstate Commerce Commission freight increases of 25 percent will devastate the state's mining sector and cut railroad revenues. Commissioner J J Shaughnessy cites higher costs for ore, coke and supplies and predicts many mines will close. A 20 percent rise in passenger fares would raise rates per mile on major lines, and a Pullman berth would cost more per night. Hearings on interstate bus and rail charges in Nevada begin in ten days.
