Shreveport Rate Case Cites Discriminatory Cattle Tariffs
George Atkins of the Shreveport Chamber of Commerce testified before Interstate Commerce Commission examiner Thurrell that current interstate cattle rates from Shreveport to Texas and Louisiana are discriminatory and harm Shreveport's cattle industry. He said proposed new tariffs would raise rates above the old ones and even above Texas proposals, noting Shreveport to Kansas City rates are sometimes 2 to 7 cents higher per hundred pounds than certain Texas points, limiting Shreveport's ability to compete with Fort Worth and Houston in cattle buying.
