Freight Dispute Over Timber Rates Moves Through Court
In Macon Georgia on June 21 attorneys for the Georgia Sawmill Association argued against railroads seeking to regain an extra two cents per hundred pounds on timber bound for Ohio River points. Judge Baxter questioned regional effects while deliberations continued. The Georgia Southern and Florida railroad was cited as a major carrier. The hearing extends to tomorrow with a decision not expected immediately. A separate note announced a July 6 reschedule for a statewide freight meeting in Macon to discuss discrimination claims. Mercer University trustees in Macon also planned to meet to elect a president, with Wake Forest’s W L Poteat as a prospective candidate.
