New Plan In Door Shipments
Washington March 23 Ins Establishment of two national competitive agencies to collect and deliver at the door merchandise of less than carload freight moved by rail was recommended to the railroads today as a means of recouping traffic from motor truck companies. Joseph B Mastman federal coordinator of transportation said the plan would save upwards from 100000000 and increase railroad volume of this traffic while expediting its transport. Each agency would have comparable traffic and financial strength. They would be owned by the railroads but operated by independent management with public representation. He admitted highway transport for distances under 75 miles would remain more economical with the agency plan in force.
