DISTRICT TRAFFIC
COMMITTEE NAMED
r.. ID. Hotchkiss, of c. & O., and T..
=. Goodman, Traffic Manager OF
Chamber of Commerce Appointed

announcement was made from Wash
iEEton yesterday by the United States
railroad administration OF the appoint
ment OF a Richmond District Traffic
Committee, which will have in charge
for its district of the study and max
ing OF freight rates and rules on lines
operated by the Federal government.
Unofficial information to the effect that
such a committee would be named was
received several days ago.
The members are c. S. Rains traffic
manager of the Seaboard Air Line with
office in Norfolk, chairman: f. -.
Hotchkiss. freight traffic manager Of
the Chesapeake and Ohio. OF this city.
and T. $. Goodman. traffic manager OF
the Richmond Chamber of Commerce
Mr.. Goodman will represent the ship
pers OF the district while the others
will look after the interests of the
railroad administration. This arrange
ment leaves the shippers with minority
representation, but up TO this time they
have had no representation at all, and
can at least be heard.
The new committee supersedes the
Southern Fright Traffic Committee.
with headquarters in Atlanta. so far
as this division is concerned. The new
rates inaugurated by the director
general have been found to be heavy
burdens on many classes of shippers
and receivers of freight, and it is the
belief that with u local committee at
work. much closer attention and more
prompt action can be had than has
been possible with a Capitalization
covering Il large territory and with an
administration in which the public was
not represented. The office OF the new
( committee will be in Richmond
Mr.. Goodman has for years been
trafiic manager Of the Richmond Cham
| Der of Commerce. lie has had wide
experience, and is regarded by the
| state Corporation Commission. which
received the telegram yesterday an
nouncinS the appointment OF the COM
mittec, as a splendid selection. mem
her OF the committee said that Mr.
Goodman possesses excellent Judgment
and strong sense of fairness, and
that he hoped he would accept the APP
pointment 1t is understood that Mr..
Goodman's action depends upon the
attitude of the Chamber of Commerce.
Mr.. Hotchkiss, while a Richmond
railroad man all his life. has for some
months past been in New York in con-
nection with railroad administration
business.
