Kendrick Would Protect Shippers From High Freight Rates
Washington D C Dec 21 Senator John B Kendrick in the Senate urged repeal of a Transportation Act provision that forced high freight rates. He argued mandatory rate levels hurt producers, caused production losses, and threatened the nation’s economic stability by prioritizing railroad profits over shipper needs. He cited declines in farm prices and shipping losses across the west, including specific freight examples from Wyoming and Montana.
