Discrimination in Cotton Rates Draws Exchange Complaint
The St Louis Cotton Exchange filed with the commerce commission a complaint against several railroads including Union Pacific, Missouri Pacific, Chicago Rock Island, Atchison Topeka Santa Fe, and St. Louis terminals. It accuses blanket 70 cent rates from Oklahoma to St Louis and other routes, depriving local shippers and diverting cotton to Fort Madison and Rock Island. The exchange seeks a 65 cent rate for northeastern Oklahoma counties within 500 miles and orders cessation of Galveston favoritism and preferential routes.
