Petition filed to suspend higher plate glass rates to High Point
The High Point chamber of commerce filed with the Interstate Commerce Commission a petition seeking suspension of new higher rates on plate glass carload shipments from Pittsburgh to High Point and from Crystal City to High Point. The filing claims the increases bypass Winston Salem and unfairly harm High Point manufacturers. If approved, Pittsburgh to High Point rates would rise 8.5 cents versus 1.5 cents to Winston-Salem and Crystal City to High Point would be 10 cents higher than to Winston-Salem.
