Discrimination Freight Rates Hit Lyons Salt Mines
Lyons Kansas January 25 Owners of the large rock salt mines consider closing for now due to freight discrimination. Salt shipped from Lyons to Chicago costs 4.13 per ton, while New York mines to Chicago are 0.48 per ton. Closure would hurt the town and the plant after heavy capital expenditure. Nearby reports describe local superstition tales around Whisky Creek and a university debate on the Monroe doctrine at the Kansas state university.
