Send Fruit by Mail.

New Eliminate the ex-
press companies from service and use
the parcel post for smaller packages"
was the advice given by R. w. Gees
OF Kansas City, chairman of the COM
mittee on express rates and service,
to members of the Western Fruit Job
bers' Association, in convention at
New Orleans. Mr.. Gees said that
for seven years the association had
been fighting for improved express
service. In arraigning the express
companies Chairman Gees said numer-
Gus complaints had been filed by
members charging express agents
with acting as commission agents. He
recommended to the association that
the companies be driven out of exist
ence so that railroads owning their
stock might take over the business.
Mr.. Mckevitt of Sacramento, Cal,
confirmed statements made in the
convention that the express compa-
MES intended to meet parcel post
rates. He said it already had been
done in California, especially in the
handling Of dried fruits.

New Orleans Demurraue,

New Orleans.-Some of the West
ern lines not having their own rails
into New Orleans have issued notice
to the local railroad contingent and
their special agents not to issue
through bills of lading via the port of
New Orleans until such time as they
are advised that the demurrage regu-
lations at this point similar to those
in effect at Galveston are established.
According to freight officials of New
Orleans, this probably will have the
effect of coercing roads to conform
with the same rules and regulations
on the demurrage question as those
in effect at Galveston.
Recently the interstate commerce
commission issued an opinion that it
would be discrimination for the same
demurrage rules not to be applied at
both New Orleans and Galveston, and
it is now believed that the same rules
governing shipments from both points
will go into effect at once or there
will be temporary boycott.
