Grain Freight Rate Cut
Sets OFF Minor War
On Eastern Railways
BY HE Assoeioied Pres.

BALTIMORE, Feb. IA small
freight rate war was touched OF
yesterday when the Baltimore &
Ohio and the Pennsylvania Rail-
roads served notice they will cut
charges on some grain shipments
from Buffalo to Philadelphia and
Baltimore.
A New York Central spokesman
ANNOUNCED it will file a similar
lrate cut on shipments from Buf-
|falo to Boston. New York, Albany
land Portland, Me. Other New
England lines are expected to fol-
low suit.
Maintained Since 1905.
Before Tuesday, the B. & O.
land the Pennsylvania had half
cent edge over the other lines in
handling the grain shipments
from Buffalo to their respective
Iports.
The Interstate Commerce Com
mission had maintained this diff
|ferentia1 since 1905.
The Central and its allies moved
to wipe it out In 1949 by filing new
rates, but the ICC blocked them.
A Federal district court in Bos-
ton ruled last July the ICC went
beyond its powers in preventing
the rate cut. The Supreme Court
Ia few weeks ago refused to review
the Boston decision, in effect
affirming it.
Ask Immediate Rate.
The New England roads got
their new rate last Tuesday
l19.49 cents a hundred pounds of
wheat, down half a cent.
| All the lines now are scrambling
to file an 1S.09-cent rate with
1.-THE ICC. It will go into effect
automatically on March 3 unless
the ICC intervenes. The B. g. O.
land Pennsylvania Railroads asked
the commission to waive the 30
day notice and put in the lower
rates Immediately.
The ICC could suspend some of
1.-THE proposals and let the others
go through. T.
