SOME Of FROSTPROOF'S
Many ATTRACTIONS
AND ADVANTAGES
(By q Resident.)

Frostproof has five busy packing
houses in operation during the sea-
son. Two of these plants are
equipped with the very latest and
up.to date citrus packing machinery
at an expense Of $1,000 each. They
have their electric lights which en-
ables them to operate at night when
business demands it. These are rated
among the best packing houses in
the state.
In 1912!13 the A. c. l.. r.. r. con
veyed $4,000 boxes of citrus fruit
over this line. Ofthis amount 55, =
900 boxes were shipped from Frost .
proof The crop for 1913 IA was
$4,000 boxexs. The crop for 1914
Is has been estimated at 100000
There are 5000 acres in groves trib!
utary to the town.
The first train to reach Frostproof
was in January.1912. Previous to

Meade. a distance Of twenty miles.
to which all Of our fruit had to be
hauled at an expense of Csc per
box; and 30c per hundred on all
merchandise and fertilizers to Frost :
proof. With all these pioneer dis
advantages, we, by virtue Of our soil
and climate have steadily advanced
and prospered; the rrilroad records
show that in 1913 IA we shipped
three -fourths OF all the fruit that
went over the Haines City and Sc!

CAN'T GUST LODGE
Judge Baldwin yesterday entered
permanent Injunction restraining the
Brotherhood of Railway Trainmen
from expelling Square Deal Lodge
No. 752.
This is the end of a fight which
started when the Employers Liabil-
ity Law passed congress in 1908. The
railroads finding they could not beat
the law put up a fight to have the
Federal Employers Liability Act
passed. This would have annuled the
former law.
William Pinkerton, legislative rep
resentatiye of the Square Deal
Lodge, learned that officials of the
Brotherhoods and other labor bodies
convened in secret session with at
torneys representing the railroads be-
fore the bill came up before the
House legislative committee. Saml
Gompers told of this secret session
before the committee. -
Members of the lodge, headed by
Pinkerton. organized the Railway
Workers Non partisan organization.
This body made a national campaign
against the law which was defeated
when brought before the House in
Washington.
After the fight w. Lee, pres. of the
Brotherhood, ordered the lodge to ex-
pei Pinkerton. This they refused to
do. The Brotherhood then attempted
to expel the lodge.
Granville Browning, master in
chancery, heard the case and recon- =
mended that the injunction be made
permanent. is- agfF -
