Farmers Attack Higher Freight Rates On Grain
The National Council of Farmers Cooperative associations filed with the Interstate Commerce Commission to restore old freight rates on corn oats rye and barley after McAdoo issued a 25 percent increase in June 25. The complaint argues the rise raises coarse grain prices 35 to 50 percent and unfairly harms farmers selling at primary markets. It names Dir Gen McAdoo and railroads under federal control as defendants and asks for early investigation at a central grain belt location.
