Griffin Replies to Daily News Editorial on Freight Rate Advances
A.G Griffin defends his stance against the May 1 editorial charge that shippers held undue influence in rate debates. He cites Interstate Commerce Commission data showing rising gross earnings for railroads in March while noting net earnings fell, arguing railroads must raise rates to cover costs. He asserts his Chicago area operations and Illinois Manufacturing Association involvement give him business standing to oppose unfair obstruction while urging railroads to fund necessary improvements.
