Traffic League Plans Fight Against Rail Rate Hike
The North Carolina Traffic League will discuss opposing a 15 percent freight rate increase by Class 1 railroads at a Greensboro meeting chaired by J. T. Ryan.

Interstate freight rates spark South North debate
The League argues South rates at 1.38 compare with 1.00 in the North and a 15 percent rise would tax the South more due to its higher base. Efforts seek a fair method if the ICC grants the increase amid protests. Economists note rail costs per car mile have fallen for years despite wage and material increases.
