Shipping Club Complains at Interstate Hearing
An Interstate Commerce Commission hearing addressed three complaints by the Export Shipping Company against the Wabash New York Chicago and St. Louis and Baltimore and Ohio railroads. The exporters contend railroads refused carload rates to the shipping consortium, which pools freight from Middle West shippers to obtain lower rates. Railroads call the shipper group’s action a subterfuge, stressing the case’s principal importance to shippers and carriers.
