Railroads Lose Freight Rate War,
The interstate commerce commis-
sion has decided against the railroads
in the important increased freight
! rates cases that have been pending
for several months.
i The decision of the commissing is
sweeping beyond all anticipation, even
by the shippers. It declines to allow
a single increase by the 600 or more
railroads in the east and the middle
west.
It throws aside as unsubstantiated
the contention of the railroads that
they must have increased revenues to
meet the increased cost of equipment
| and operation, and by its decision cuts
off between $30,000,000 and $60,000,000
a year in revenue which the railroads
had expected to realize from the pro-
, posed increase On the other hand, it
means an annual saving of that
amount to the shippers of the coun-
try.
The commission orders the carriers
to cancel he proposed increases by
March 10, and notifies them that in
the event of failure an order will be
entered continuing the present rates
| for two years, thus preventing the
| carriers from making any changes in
| that perio The railroads may now
appeal to the newly created commerce
| court, and it is the opinion of many
i of their lawyers that this step will be
| taken.
