Southern furniture tariffs suspended after ICC action
The Interstate Commerce Commission suspended new furniture rates from southern points until October 22, 1930, after a petition by the Southern Furniture Manufacturers Association. Tariffs within the southern territory may still rise or fall, with High Point facing especially high proposed charges versus Winston-Salem and northern suppliers. The move aims to prevent unfair rate shifts as part of ongoing investigations into furniture pricing. The association notes the suspension prevents a southern disadvantage in key markets and aligns with prior Commission actions in the Memphis case.
