Equitable freight rate push for farm products emerging
Reports from Charleston late in April show J B McLaughlin State Federation secretary and farmers pressing for lower freight charges. Talks note concessions on agricultural limestone from Chessbrake and Ohio and a possible further cut on commodity and class rates, though Baltimore and Ohio proposal rejected. Officials expect reductions to extend beyond limestone, with careful steps to cover other farm products under community rates. The effort marks the first time agriculture interests have been represented at such hearings and some railroads expressed surprise at the demands.
