GALVESTON CHAMBER OF COMMERCE CHARTERED BY THE REPUBLIC OF TEXAS IN 1845 "The Gateway of the Southwest" 2021 Market Street Galveston, Texas September 23, 1957 File: 460-5 Mr. H. Block II. Kempner U.S. National Bank Building Gaiveston, TePa; _,=ar Block: Have noted your letter of September 19th, addressed to Pill Schill of Missouri Pacific, reference minimum charge assessed on carload shipments of cotton from Harlingen and Ray- monvillo to r 1ensvil l. It seems that the minimum charge is proper, however, I 7a; under the impression that a lot of the truck compelled cot- .on rates were not subject to the minimum charge rule in the Western Classification. Unless the Missouri Pacific is willing to correct the situation, it seems to me that your only re- :ourse is to give the business to unregulated cotton haulers. iurs very truly, / 72 F. G.
