Woodwork Manufacturers Protest Freight Rate Change
Iowa woodwork firms including Muscatine Dubuque Clinton Wisconsin and Illinois join the Midwest Sash and Door mills and Oshkosh Traffic association in filing with the Interstate Commerce Commission against a 72 cent per hundred pounds freight rate for lumber from the Pacific coast to eastern points. They say the rate would reduce demand, threaten gains from a 35 percent current profit level, and negate improvements from recent years as most lumber is bought on the Pacific coast and sold in the eastern market.
