The Southern Railway System petitions the Interstate Commerce Commission to set aside the Memphis Freight Bureau case order and reopen and consolidate it with the ongoing furniture rate investigation. It argues readjusted rates would create unfair, higher charges from High Point versus Greensboro and Winston-Salem and Mebane. The chamber of commerce backs the move, aiming to prevent general rate changes until the broader inquiry is decided.
