Furniture Makers Fight 15 Percent Freight Rate Increase
J T Ryan, secretary of the Southern Furniture Manufacturers association, testified at a southern Interstate Commerce Commission hearing in Atlanta against a 15 per cent rail rate increase. He noted furniture prices have fallen since 1917 while rates rose, urged reductions, and cited trucking gains as shifting volumes from rail. He warned the industry faces severe production declines due to reduced demand despite high capacity, and expressed optimism about the commission’s Georgia hearing outcome.
