Berry Recommends LC C Decline To Interfere In Rates
Washington June 2 Examiner Berry today recommended to the Interstate Commerce Commission that it decline to interfere with joint barge and rail rates on sugar where the barge line provides storage in transit facilities. The report followed complaints that rail rates from New Orleans Mobile and nearby points to southeastern destinations should be higher than the joint rate if storage at Holt and Birmingham port en route. The examiner found no justification for a higher joint rate on sugar stored in transit than for continuous shipments.
