Victory for Iowa stockmen gains rail rate relief
Iowa stockmen celebrate the Interstate Commerce Commission ruling directing railroads to equalize feeding in transit rates. The Corn Belt Meat Producers Association argues Iowa rates to Chicago are too high, with potential savings of up to 300 000 dollars annually. Clifford Thorne led the legal effort, facing strong railroad opposition.
