Raise in Minimum Carload Weights of
Fruit and Dairy Products
Prevented.

b. earnest work with other commercial
clubs and shippers association It is be-
lleved the Commercial club Of Omaha has
succeeded in preventing an increase in the
minimum carload weights on fruit and
dairy products. The proposed increase
meant much to Omaha dealers, as they are
among the largest shippers in the United
States OF fruit and butter.
Commissioner GUILE was compelled to
leave the meeting OF the Western Classl-
ticetion committee before II was adjourned,
but he was there long ~enough-ten days
to see some effectual work done in opposi-
ton to the increases in minimum weights.
Mr., Guild also believes the new classifi-
cation will not increase the minimum
weight on carloads OF farm implements. It
was proposed to increase the weight from
@,Co) to 24,(0o pounds. Mr.. Guild said that
100 petitioners were heard at the meeting
and 492 subjects were on the docket of the
committee. One item when subdivided had
over 1000 items on which II was proposed to
increase the minimum weight. Mr.. Guild
also opposed any attempt to mix carloads
and several such proposals came before the
committee. The mixtures are proposed each
year in the hope OF some day getting a rule
through which will permit eastern houses
shipping mixed carloads OF merchandise
into the west at carload rates.
