Our grain freight rates have been based on loading 50 tons or less per car, shipped in single car lots. We are hauling very little grain. Unregulated barges and trucks are hauling the bulk of the grain. Our rates were simply too high to meet the prices set by these privately-owned barges and trucks. We had lost a source of badly-needed revenue. So two years ago we began a study to correct it. Hoic We Can Afford To Reduce Our Rates We quickly found a need to haul grain at less cost. Obviously, it couldn't be done with 50-ton loads and single-car shipments. So we designed and built a covered-hopper car with a lightweight aluminum body, to haul over 100 tons of corn or wheat ? a few tons less of lighter grains. Wasteful deadweight metal was swapped for payload grain. Switching costs at origin and destination points were cut in half because one 100-ton car takes the place of two 50-ton cars. Hauling costs are similarly reduced. Further large economies were found through less terminal switching by hauling in volume shipments in lots of 5 cars, 10 cars, or 20 cars, moving at one time to one destination ? with rates based on a mini mum load of 90 tons per car. Paperwork was reduced as only one bill of lading is necessary for each lot of cars. In brief, we simply "tied together" into a modern pricing policy our new high-capacity, lightweight alu minum cars, the advantages of multiple-car move ments, and less paperwork. Now we have a new transportation service to sell? one that produces low cost transportation which benefits grain growers, elevator operators, millers, and consumers while mak ing us an attractive profit. To show how this works, the present grain rate ? which will still be available? from St. Louis to Gaines ville, Ga., is $10.50 per net ton. shipped 50 tons in a single car. Our new rates are $3.97 per net ton when shipped in lots of 20 cars or 1 ,800 tons, $4.07 in lots of 1 0 cars or 900 tons, and $4. 1 7 in lots of 5 cars or 450 tons. Similar reductions have been made between and to many other points, effective August 10. This scale of reduced rates will also apply within the South from grain producing to grain consuming areas. Smith's Grain Consumers Will Benefit This is the happiest part of all? the fact that these rates will produce lower costs to benefit the people of the South who gain their livelihood from the poultry, livestock, feed, elevating, and milling industries. The general public using these products also gets lower prices. Wholesome Effect On All Common Carriers Other common carriers should feel little, if any, ill-effect from our new rates. Mostly they will be bene fited because unregulated carriage by private barges and trucks will be reduced. All common carriers know that it is the private, unregulated carriers which are setting the competitive price they must meet. To be competitive, common carriers must find ways to move freight more efficiently at less cost, and to ex press these improvements in lowered rates that will greatly reduce the profit in private carriage. This we seek to do ? to the ultimate benefit of all common carriers and the public at large. There is no other way for regulated common carriers ? rail, truck, or barge ? to remain solvent and make their needed contribu tion to the public welfare. IN TOTAL EFFECT, THESE NEW REDUCED GRAIN FREIGHT RATES WILL BE WHOLLY GOOD AND GENUINELY IN THE PUBLIC INJEREST. SOUTHERN RAILWAY SYSTEM WASHINGTON. D. C. t This is July, and Early Summer.
