Southern hardware jobbers urge Congress action on freight delays
The Southern Hardware Jobbers Association proposes a federal law to penalize railroads for unduly delayed shipments. Aimed at ruling a daily 24 hour shipment limit by the Interstate Commerce Commission, it calls for deductions from bills and possible punitive damages, with exceptions for force majeure. Local and Richmond groups discuss backing a nationwide solution as a cotton mill prospect draws capital interest and employment potential for about 4,000 workers.
