North Carolina Wins Freight Rates Case
The Interstate Commerce Commission issued an order cutting freight rates by 4 to 49 cents per hundred pounds for trips among North Carolina cities, southeastern states, and North Carolina to northern centers. It aims to adjust differentials to fit short hauls while avoiding disruption of existing Eastern port rates. The NC Corporation Commission and Raleigh Chamber of Commerce appealed the prior order, calling rates unduly favorable to Richmond and Norfolk. The new plan seeks maximum differentials, with actual rates often below those caps, and recognizes the difficulty of equitable adjustment amid irregular regional pricing.
