SHIPPERS WILL
FIGHT RAILWAYS
DISSATISFIED WITH COST OF
ICING
HAVE ORGANIZED COMPANY
Continental Refrleerating Company
Said to Be Backed by the
California Fruit
Exchange
HAVE ORGANIZED COMPANY

Causing as much excitement in rail-
road circles as the announcement five
years ago that citrus fruit shippers
were to demand through the courts an
open routing of their shipments, came
the rumor yesterday that the Southern
California Fruit company, represent
ing 80 per cent of the fruit growers of
the state, is threatening to do it's own
icing.
meeting Of the board of directors
of the company, at which Robert Gra-
ham, Los Angeles representative of the
Armour company, was present, to-
gether with the activities of Southern
Pacific officials to trace the rumor to
it's source, did not tend to allay the
interest.
Francisco last night, the supposition
on the part of the railroad officials not
interested being that he went there to
discuss the situation with the heads of
the Southern Pacific.
The Incorporation Wednesday of the
Continental Refrigerating company,
with $1,OO0,O00 capital, has added fur
ther uneasiness, and the belief is ex-
pressed that the California Fruit ex-
change may be standing behind the
new company.
That such was the case was given an
emphatic denial yesterday by Manager
Woodford of the exchange, who, while
denying any connection with the newly
organized company, in his conversation
gave the impression that the directors
of his own company were getting un-
easy under the goad of the Armour
people with their heavy icing charges.
Mr.. Woodford said
''The only thing we know about the
Continental Refrigerating company is
what we have learned through the
newspapers. We have no connection
with them and they have made no
overtures to us. I will say, however,
that the exchange does not believe in
the private car line system, but takes
the stand that the transportation COM
cars needed for the transportation of
citrus fruits. Inasmuch as high rate
is charged for the transportation of
these fruits the icing should be done at
cost and without profit. We are of the
opinion that the shipper has the right
to ice his own cars. We are looking
into the question, that is all. At the
present time I have nothing more to
say on the subject.
"Now we are paying $62.50 icing
charges on a car from here to Chicago,
and in the past three years we have
paid out 81, 900, 900 for ice alone"
Other causes of dissatisfaction
among shippers is the report sent
broadcast that the Armour company is
directly in fruit companies
through the ownership of stock and
that If such is the case it would be
natural for these companies to be
favored in icing charges by the car line |

LOS ANGELES MANS VIEW
7. D. Reymert Talks Interestingly of
Norway Situation

Captain Johan Skougaard, one of the
crisis, to whose lot it is reported as
| likely the destinies of a new republic
will fall, Is a brother-in-law of Attor-
ney Theodore D. Reymert of the firm
OF Adcock & Reymert in Los Angeles.
Mr.. Reymert is himself member of
lies in Norway, his father having
served as surgeon general in the. Nor
wegian army for many years. In an
interview yesterday he said
Trouble has been brewing; In Nor
way for the past thirty years. The
Norwegians are a proud people and the
present crisis may be summed up like
this: Norway don't want to play in
Swedens back yard.
Il received a letter from Captain
Skougaard some time ago saying that
Crown Prince Gustave was then visit
ing in Christiania his purpose being,
ii possible, to stay the action of the
people in seeding from Sweden. 1
inferred that public sentiment was
very strong against the possibility of
the crown prince assuming the regency
and the news that has come to us in
the last few days was not surprising
to me.
Oscars Throne Totterlng
king Oscars throne has been tot
tering for years. The king is getting
old and Is undoubtedly under the in
fluence of the nobility of Sweden, al
though he is loved and respected by
the Norwegians. The fact that the
Norwegians are so thoroughly demo-
cratic. however, is in my opinion the
cause of the present uprising. They
will have none of the nobility, and 1
am quite certain that the ultimate re-
suit will be the establishment of re-
public, with a president and congress,
all elected by the people, just the
same as in the United States.

is imbued with the American idea.
Several years ago he came to the
states as a special commissioner of
the Norwegian government to study
our manufactures, highways and engi-
neering projects. He speaks English,
French and other languages as fluently
as Norwegian, and is well versed on
international subjects. OF course, I
should like very much to see him fur
ther honored by his countrymen, and
feel confident that he will, If chosen
the first president of Norway, aim to
guide his charge on the American
plan"

grocer, left for Norway few weeks
ago. he carried with him letter of

The whole process is SO simple, and
the results so satisfactory, that no one,

The use of wax is equally successful

For soft woods. particularly white

Note.-After coating with wax do not
let 1t dry too long before rubbing off

are sufficient the time depending on the

Philadelphia, December 25.-The Press will say:
 President John Mitchell of the United Mine Workers union has ~1municated with the Presidents of the anthracite coal-producing companies in regard to the demand that the miners will make for the continuance of work in the hard coal fields.
 Tt is understood the letter is in re- gard to holding a conference between the committee representing the United Mine Workers and the operators. What the operators will do has not definitely been decided upon.
 Besides asking for on eight-hour day, there are also to be presented other de- mands. The most important and one if adopted will mean the complete recogni- ton of the union, is the request that an entire new conciliation board be form ed. one that will always be in session and will go from place to place to set tie disputes. This request will meet with considerable opposition from the opera tors.
 The proposed new board is to be com prised of three members representing the miners and the same number representing the operators and a seventi. member to be chosen by the other six.

Boston, December 3o.--According to An- dreas Stockberger, an immigrant who ar rived here on the steamer Carthagenia, the boodshed in Odessa was largely due to the Jews attacking the soldiers. The immigrant Is a German and comes from a German settlement at Gildendorf, near Odessa.
 In an interview today he said:
 Tn Odessa l saw troops march down the main street with loaded guns. Before them was the bowling mob armed with all sorts of weapons. and whenever a chance apepared they would sweep down on the soldiers and tear them to pieces. From house tops and windows stood men and women, and even children, and as the sol diers marched by bombs were hurled at them, killing scores and wounding hun dreds at time.
 "The soldiers would then charge upon their attackers, piercing with bayonets and shooting them. Wherever the soldiers went they were attacked. The mob made up entirely of Jews. were almost beside themselves with excitement and the only purpose was to kill the soldiers
