JOHN MITCHELL urges faster action by the North Carolina Corporation Commission on freight rate abuses. He argues that current rates favor Virginia lines, noting higher revenue per mile in North Carolina and a disparity in operating costs. Mitchell supports empowering the governor and a special freight rate commission to secure relief from unjust, combinated rates.
