GROWERS
WIN l. VICTORY
INTERSTATE COMMERCE COMMITS
SION REAFFIRMs PREVIOUS!
ORDER REDUCING FREIGHT

Washington, Dec. 29.-American
lemon growers today won q signal
victory over foreign competitors, and
the trans continental railroads when
the interstate commerce commission
reaffirmed its previous order, upset
freight rates on lemons from Califor-
MIA to all other points in the United
States from $1.15 per hundred pounds
to 81.
The fight over lemon rates has
been III progress since 1902 and orig
inally involved the question of COM
petition with Sicily. 1t has been bit
terly fought and became one OF the
first causes of conflict between the
interstate commerce commission and
the new commece court.
When the commission originally
ordered the reduction its order was
stopped by the commerce court, which
held the commission had no right to
take into consideration the question
of foreign competition and remanded
the case for rehearing.
The decision given today holds the
rate of $1.15 unreasonable and I'M
just, irrespective of the question of
competition ana orders the carriers
to make effective the lower rate on
February Is.
The case was brought in the name
of The Arlington Healghts Fruit Elk
change against practically all the
trans continental lines.
