MeAIPHIS Tenn Aug Alones Bennett traffic manager of the Federal Compress and Warehouse Company said a revision of charges in Arkansas has decided to restore the former rate uniform in compresses in other states after a one day rate experiment did not pay. The 25 cent weighing and sampling charge with storage was placed in Arkansas last year and the rate in Tennessee and other states remained at old levels for 60 days. The experiment failed as shippers left before the 15 day limit and revenues fell. The company is restoring the old rate across compresses.
