A Curious Situation.

The freight rate on cabinets from
High Point to New York by the all
rail route is SO cents; by rail from
High Point to Norfolk, thence by
water to New York, is AZ cents.
Yet time and time again a car load
of cabinets has been shipped from
High Point, billed by way of Nor
folk, and has arrived in New York
in the same car into which it was
loaded in the North Carolina manu-.
facturer's yards. Evidently the rail-
roads have chosen to haul the car
by the all-rall route, though they
could collect only the water rate of
~ cents.
1t rate of 80 cents yields only
reasonable profit to the carrier, mani
testify a rate or ~ cents mus, mean
a dead loss. YET the roads choose
to carry cars at that rate, even
though they might turn them over
to the steamship companies at Nor
folk. On the other hand, if the
carriers can make a profit on a A.
cent rate, to charge 80 cents looks
to the shipper like highway robbery.
TIE question narrows down to
this: are the companies deliberately
hauling at loss stuff which they
might easily rid themselves of, or
are they making an enormous pro-
fit of their al-rail traffic? 1t will not
take the average shipper, accustom-
to the dark and devious ways of the
carriers, long to decide.-News.
