Lumber Minimum Weight Scale Criticized by Pacific Northwest Shippers
Pacific Northwest lumber and shingles manufacturers protest the proposed minimum car weight scale as applied by railroads.

Shippers claim forcing a strict 85 percent cube fill is impractical and increases loading cost, urging lower lumber minimums and car-size considerations.
