RAILROAD CHARGES
ARE EXCESSIVE.

WASHINGTON, Oct ia complaint
has been made TO the Interstate Com
merce Commission by the North Caro-
lima Case Workers Association, whose
membership consists of firms engaged
in the manufacture and sale of furni-
ture, against many lines of railroad
in the West and Northwest because of
alleged unjust and discriminatory
charges for the transportation of fur
niture, especially from High Point, N.
c., and Danville, Va, to Pacific Coast
terminal points.
The complainants declare that the
railroads charge them $1.70 per hun
dred pounds to carry furniture from
the North Carolina territory to Pacific
Coast points and insist upon mini
mum carload weight of 10000 pounds.
whereas they claim to be able to put
into car only $4,000 pounds of furni-
ture. They insist therefore that the
rates are unreasonable and ask the
commission to issue an order requiring
the railroads to limit thirty-siX feet
carload lots of furniture to 10000
pounds.
