Oliphant, representing the Central Freight Association, tells an Interstate Commerce Commission hearing that through joint freight class rates from the midwest to the southeast could cut first class Chicago to Atlanta 47 cents and to Birmingham 46% cents, Montgomery 32% cents, Macon 32 cents, and Raleigh 74% cents.
