The Georgia Railroad Commission ruled that cotton compression is an incident of carriage and railroad companies may choose where and by whom to compress. It denied most petitions to require shipments to Mil ledgeville compress plants or pay compression rates, and only required sidetracks be built if such compression facilities are erected. The decision preserves carrier discretion and declines interstate referral.
