Protests Against Proposed Rail Freight Act
Harry F. Sundberg of the Chamber of Commerce traffic bureau sends a letter to Iowa senators and representatives in Washington opposing a bill that would set lower rail rates for port to port hauls than inland routes. He argues it would harm Iowa interior cities and industrial growth by diverting waterborne traffic and choking local economies. He urges decisive action to prevent passage or similar measures.
