Montana Shippers Form Coalition to Fight Higher Freight Rates
A Montana coalition named the Montana Freight Rate Association forms after a Montana Chamber meeting in Butte with A. R. Currie chosen chairman. The group opposes proposed coal rate hikes up to 250 miles, argues rates are unreasonably high, and plans hearings in St Paul Salt Lake City and Chicago. Montana Railroad Commission rate protests and letters to federal bodies are cited, with an executive committee empowered to act and coordinate with shippers to protect Montana interests.
