Idaho Opposes Midwest Meat Freight Rate Cuts
J D Rigney president of the Idaho Public Utilities Commission said an Interstate Commerce Commission trial examiner’s recommended rate cuts would lower prices paid to Idaho pork producers by West Coast packers. Rigney and Boise attorney Maurice H Greene attended a Salt Lake City meeting with Western Public Service commissions and National Live Stock Association representatives to oppose proposed Midwest to Pacific Coast rail rate reductions for fresh meats and packing products. The commission vows to file a vigorous protest and fight to prevent Midwest packs from invading Idaho hog markets on the Pacific coast.
