Railroad Protest

We the undersigned intend to show discrimination by the railroads against the small lumber sawmills and the small lumber wholesaler. This is causing many sawmills and wholesalers to be forced out of business as they can no longer be competitive.

Special contracts to "the big boys" is the cause. The railroads are publishing non competitive rates which must be used by the small independents. The rates also restrict the areas ofthe country we can ship into.

Published competitive rates are the answer. We understand that some railroads have the intention of publishing competitive rates and not signing private contracts.

We need your assistance in assuring that all railroads in both Canada and the U.S.A. publish competitive rates.
