Freight Resolution
Presented By WTCC
ABILENE—A freight rate equal-
ity resolution has been presented by
the West Texas Chamber of Com-
merce and the Rreifht Rate Equal-
ity Federation for consideration by
the United States Chamber of Com-
merce at ite next convention.
The resolution as sent to W.
been Carey, (Jr., president of the
ICC, Washington, D. C., by D. A.
ndeen, WTCC general manager,
i J. M Willson, Floydada, FREF
“ident, is as follows:
“Resolved that the national trans-
portation system be revised to the
end'' that transportation charges
shall he required to preserve the
inherent advantages of each form
of transportation; to pay adequate
operating and dividend returns, and
to bring about equality and uni-
formity in rates as between the
different sections of the United
States in line with operating costs.”
"We believe the flret two provi-
sions of the resolution are already
a part of the policies of the USCC
but that the organization has yet
made no declaration relative to the
third provision in which the 8outh-
vmat la vitally interested,” Bandeen
said. .
WTCC officials hailed the decision
of the Interstate Commerce Commis-
' sion refusing to reopen for reargu-
ment the long-fought South-to-North
freight rates case, but warned that
j Texas and the Southwest must se-
cure reduction in their own rates
or they will be at further disadvan-
tage because of the lower rates in
the Old South.
In ite recent ruling the ICC re-
fused to reconsider its previous de-
cision to lower rates on 18 commodi-
ties from the South to North t®
approximate level of rates on North
to South shipments,* The new rates,
which reduce the Southern differen-
1 tials by about 37 per cent, will be-
come effective June 1.
This decision is important to Tex-
as and the Southwest because it seta
a precedent for freight rate equal-
ity, for which the WTCC has been
battling for a long time, officials
said.
) "The decision, however, in giving
the Old South parity with the Sorth
I on 18 commodities makes our Texas
differentials even more harmful,”
M-. Bandeen pointed out.
j “The decision puts the lie to pro-
' paganda recently circulated to the
, effect that our commodity rates are
I lower than in the North. Along
[with the recent Texas Railroad Com-
1 mission ruling removing differential
■ rates in far West Texas, the ICC
decision establishes, for the first
time in 60 years, a precedent for
knocking out this nefarious zone
system of making rates,” the WTCC
manager declared. \
“It likewise emphasizes the need
for action on the part of the state
freight rate fact finding committee
which was given funds by the Leg-
isiature to prooecute a case before
the ICC for freight rate equality
ia Texas. If the case for Southern
rates is right, then our case is even
more just, since our rates not only
are higher than those in the North,
but also are higher than those in
the Old South.”
