Southern Pacific Defends Merchants Rate to New York
Traffic Manager Moran of the Southern Pacific says the merchants rate to New York has existed for years through the Huntington Lines, and no new trouble has arisen this year. Morse notes the railroad argues all its DALTODA deserve consideration as New York trade remains vital for Texas goods. North and South Western cite revenue from St. Louis and Chicago to justify protecting their points, while Southern Pacific claims the move protects customers. Tickets for the fire and third rate to New York remain available ahead of August 4 despite the association rules.
