TWO RECENT COURT decisions overturning InterstateCommerce Commission rulings are expected to influence fu-ture regulation of rate competition between railroads, watercarriers and truck lines.

A decision of the St. Louis Federal District Court nullifiedan I.C.C. order requiring cancellation of reduced rail rateson agricultural and road-making implements: the court ruledthat the Commission’s order was improperly founded in thatit would lessen competition and thus would destroy, not pre-serve, inherent advantages of carriers.

Another court case held that the I.C.C. had improperly ap-plied the law by requiring railroads to increase their rates onpig iron from Neville Island, Pa., to Louisville. A Pennsyl-vania federal district court ruled that the rail rate could notbe held a particular level to protect the traffic of the bargelines.

HEAVY MOVEMENTS OF import steel through Port of Hous-ton to the Mid-continent area, much of which is handled di-rect from vessels to cars or trucks as shown below, would be

attracted to rail haul to interior destinations nnder a generalrate adjustment requested by the Port Bureau.

The proposal (Docket 5617-C of the Southern Ports For-eign Freight Committee) would substantially reduce carloadimport rates on iron or steel articles from Houston and otherGulf ports to the area extending from Indiana to Nebraskaand from Kansas-Missouri to Minnesota-Wisconsin, includ-ing also Illinois and river points of Cincinnati, Louisvilleand Evansville.

Rates under consideration are those now available to do-mestic shippers of steel.

The Port Bureau has further improved its TRA’~SPOR-TATION BULLETIN" by the addition of a new cover andamended inserts. This monthly compilation of trans-port rate changes and developments has long been auseful tool of patrons of the Port of Houston--it noubecomes of increased value. A request to the Bureau.or to any representative of the Port of Houston. x~illcause this resume to reach your desk each rnonth.

INCREASED SWITCHING CHARGES placed into effect O(’tol)er24, 1960 will be cut back at Houston and in the WesternDistrict by $2.50 a car on May 15 as a result of tlre I.C.C.decision in Ex Parte No. 223, Sub. No. 2.

Though the Commission did not entertain the Port Bureau’spetition for reconsideration of the November 22, 1961 order,the initial role of the Bureau in challenging rail cost figuresallegedly supporting the $7.50 increase was influential in re-ducing the amount of increase to 20%, subject to a maximumof $5.00 per car.

i SERIES OF I.C.C. HEARINGS concluded in ~ashingtonon April 9 is an important rate relationship case betweenGulf and Great Lakes ports, at which tire Port Bureau andother Gulf ports defended the level of rail export rates onclay from South Dakota origins.

PRESERVATION OF COASTWISE water carrier service for theGulf and the need of rate differentials under all-rail ratesare issues involved in an I.C.C. hearing which resumed inHouston on April 24.

The proceeding involves Seatrain Lines rates on pipe frompoints in the East to Southwest destinations; the Port Bureauhas been active in this case, acted to have the hearings set inHouston, and will support the coastwise principles involved.

A REDUCTION OF $1.40 a net ton in rail costs on export-im-port traffic moving between Houston (.and Houston-equalizedGulf ports) and Transcontinental-Intermountain territory hasbeen approved by the railroads.

This reduction represents the removal of 7-cents per 100lbs. in port charge additives that are superimposed on thenormal port wharfage and handling charges added to railrates on most waterborne tonnage for the Transcontinentalarea when moving via Houston and other Gulf ports.

The Port Bureau has actively progressed the proposal(TCFB 9881 and 10862) with the railroads and interestedshippers for over a year in seeking elimination of the doublecharge. The matter now requires only the concurrence ofother rail rate-making jurisdictions.
