The Georgia Railroad Commission issued an order during an executive session requiring all railroads operating in the state to appear on September 23 and show cause why freight rate discrimination affecting about 2,100 towns should not be revised. The motion follows a prior commission push for rate reform amid wartime government control. The panel cited preferential rates for 30 towns and cities and noted a House bill by Representative Brantley to equalize state freight rates and eliminate city disparities. The commission demanded railroads explain the alleged discrimination and justify current practices.
