![["Congressman Ed Gossett highlights the significant freight-rate discrimination against the Southwest, with rates 75% higher than the Official Zone. This discrimination hinders industrial growth and economic development in the region. He calls for action from Congress to equalize freight rates and eliminate existing inequalities. The current system benefits Northern interests and suppresses industrial growth in the Southwest. Efforts for reform have been hindered by a well-organized lobby supported by the railroad industry. The only way to address this issue is through legislation to equalize freight rates and remove existing discriminations."]](https://jones-2.s3.amazonaws.com/George%20B.%20Schwabe%20Collection%20/CAC_CC_047_1_0000_0000_0000-79th%20Congress,%201945-1947/%20CAC_CC_047_1_5_26_0000-Freight%20Rates,%201945/%20CAC_CC_047_1_5_26_0000-Thumbnails/CAC_CC_047_1_5_26_0004_thumbnail.jpg "Freight Rate Discrimination: The Southwestern Industry's Battle")

![["The document is a letter and statement regarding \"The Maximum Average Price Order\" issued by the Office of Price Administration in April 1945. The order aims to regulate clothing prices to prevent inflation and ensure affordability for low and middle-income families. The order requires manufacturers to sell items at prices that do not exceed the maximum average price set during a base period in 1943. The program involves industry consultation and aims to increase production of lower-priced essential garments while reducing higher-priced lines. The order also freezes retailers' markups to pass on price reductions to consumers."]](https://jones-2.s3.amazonaws.com/George%20B.%20Schwabe%20Collection%20/CAC_CC_047_1_0000_0000_0000-79th%20Congress,%201945-1947/CAC_CC_047_1_3_46_0000-Price%20Administration,%201945/Thumbnails/CAC_CC_047_1_3_46_0009_thumbnail.jpg "The Maximum Average Price Order and Its Impact on Clothing Prices: A Comprehensive Statement")
![["The Maximum Average Price Plan is a pricing program developed in connection with the joint WPB-OPA program. It requires manufacturers of apparel to sell their merchandise at prices no higher on average than in the 12 months ending June 30, 1943. Manufacturers must still adhere to product ceilings but must also produce enough lower-priced items to ensure the average price does not exceed the specified period. The plan aims to bring back low and medium-priced apparel to the market and control the cost of clothing items by restoring prices to the level of 1942-43. Manufacturers will be given time to adjust their production to comply with the order, and exemptions may be set for industries facing challenges in meeting the maximum average price."]](https://jones-2.s3.amazonaws.com/George%20B.%20Schwabe%20Collection%20/CAC_CC_047_1_0000_0000_0000-79th%20Congress,%201945-1947/CAC_CC_047_1_3_46_0000-Price%20Administration,%201945/Thumbnails/CAC_CC_047_1_3_46_0011_thumbnail.jpg "Restoring Fair Pricing: The Maximum Average Price Plan")
