Cement Freight Rate Fight Opens Before Interstate Commission
The interstate commerce commission heard a dispute over cement freight rates from eastern to western trunk line points. Carriers seek higher rates by cancelling a carload rule, while eastern and western manufacturers oppose, claiming Illinois and Mississippi Valley factories would gain 2.5 cents per hundred pounds. Denver shippers urged a 4.5 cent cut on grain and grain products to the Pacific coast, with Sioux City Omaha and Kansas City groups arguing current mile-based rates preserve balanced competition and avoid Denver advantage.
