The railroads are among the largest
employers of labor. They buy over
LRO
Without increased revenues, railroads
could not meet these costs’ and also
provide improvements in equipment
and facilities—improvements that are
essential for the low-cost -freight and
passenger services which are necessary
to America’s high standard of living.

increase — the -Interstate Commerce
Commission recently approved an
average increase in freight rates of
176 10%.
