AFFECTS VENEER INDUSTRY.
A grievance of long standing complained of by the
veneer industry of Indiana may possibly be removed.
The Indiana Public Service Commission has taken
favorable action on a complaint filed nearly two years
ago by the Southern Hardwood Traffic Association
asking for a reduction in rates on logs, according to
J. S. Thompson, manager of the Louisville Division
of the association. The decision results in reductions
of from one-half cent to three cents a hundred, effec-
tive September 15, on all railroads in the state of
Indiana. The decision :will aid shippers in New
Albany, Evansville, North Vernon, Columbus, Indian-
apolis and, other veneer manufacturing points. Some
of the mills in the Southern part of the state had
long been complaining of high rates.
