Wool growers seek to reduce wool freight tariff in Oregon case
The Portland hearing of the Inter State Commerce Commission case, Oregon Woolgrowers versus railroads, features Dan P Smythe and George McKnight as principal witnesses. The dispute centers on freight rates for unballed wool in sacks in carload lots, aiming to lower charges from Portland to Atlantic Coast and Northeast destinations. If approved, a lower rate could lift wool prices in Pendleton and Umatilla counties by over a cent per pound, aiding Oregon growers.
