Commission set to hear lumber and furniture industry rebuttals
The Hoch-Smith resolution prompted a commission decision to ship furniture east of the Mississippi and north of the Potomac and Ohio rivers as second class freight and third class elsewhere. Eastern class rates were lower, making second-class estimates close to third-class rates nationwide. The measure fixes maximum rates, effectively lifting furniture freight costs in the southern region by about 16 percent.
