STRAWBERRIES ARE: SHIPPED FROM CUBA First Car Consigned to Gin

 courage the Farmers
200 PACKERS IN FIELDS

Cuba, April ei-(SpeciaL)- first car of strawberries for the season went out vesterday. consigned to M. Fugazzi & c,o.. the well known merchants of Gin cinnati. The car was in fairly good shape considering the very heavy. rains that have been prevalent the past few days.
 More than 200 pickers were in the fields getting the car ready, while about So packers were kept busy arranging the crates. The outlay for picking this week will run light, calling for only about $500 as only two cars will go out.
 curious feature in connection with berry shipments arisesfthis season by the refusal of the interstate commerce com mission to allow the railway company to put in effect competitive rates. As mat ters now stand growers m Louisville and Nashville territory have a leverage of about $40 per car less freight charges. which will mean that as soon as shipments get so heavy that the demand slackens that several cars are likely to be left on the vines as this difference in freight charges will sometimes very nearly cover tha profit on a car especially late in the season It appears that the interstate commerce commission insists on the usual publication for 8 days before the rate ca n be made effective. and will not allow the use of the emergency clause of the law.
 This action is operating to the great det- rinent of shippers, who have had so far very bad season, and will also likely cripple the railway to the extent of about eight or 10 cars if markets should go very low.
 It is stated that Congressman Hobson has been asked to confer with the com mission and get them to consent to the rates agreed upon as fair.
