Michigan Lumber Shipper Protest Seeks Rate Reduction
West Michigan Hardwood Lumber Manufacturers association files with the Interstate Commerce Commission seeking a cut in transcontinental hardwood freight rates from lower Michigan to the Pacific Coast from eighty-five to seventy-five cents per hundred pounds. They argue the ten-cent differential favors upper Michigan and Wisconsin, harming lower Michigan shippers and Pacific Coast demand. They also request refunds for overcharges since August 1, 1908.

High Cliff Harbor Survey Debate in Washington
Representative Davidson pressed for federal approval of a full harbor survey at High Cliff on Lake Winnebago east shore between Stockbridge and Menasha. Local and district engineers argued the harbor’s prospective commerce does not justify a fuller examination. Davidson said the project would provide farmers a grain shipping point. The engineer board signaled they would likely uphold the local decision.
