Saskatchewan to appeal freight rate hike to federal cabinet
The Saskatchewan government plans direct appeal to the Federal Cabinet against the recent Board of Transport Commissioners freight rate increase. A telegram to Prime Minister Diefenbaker urged suspension until Saskatchewan's appeal is heard. The province notes a 128 percent freight rate rise since 1948 and cites opposition to general increases by western and maritime provinces.
