West Texas Chamber Backs Freight Rate Equality Push
Abilene Dec. 20 The West Texas Chamber of Commerce and the Freight Rate Equality Federation pledge full support for the Texas Railroad Commission order to abolish differential freight rates in far West Texas and South Texas. The injunction held against immediate implementation, with WTCC and FREF prepared to back the commission to the limit as hearings proceed. Abolition would save about 15 percent in freight charges across 69 West Texas counties and much of South Texas.
