Winona Opposes Minnesota Rail Tariff Change
A Winona delegation led by Attorney L L Brown urged the Minnesota Railway and Warehouse Commission to reject a new tariff plan they say discriminates against Winona jobbers. They argued for city based rates reflecting local conditions, not a blanket distance rule, noting proposed cuts from St Paul and Twin Cities would widen gaps with La Crosse and reduce Winona's competitiveness. The group cited current parity with Tracy and St Paul to illustrate the potential harm to local trade and the city’s economic balance.
