Fish Conference Ends.

Conferences regarding the fish situation ended
last week at the Department of Commerce with the
submission to the Secretary Of recommendations by
various committees. emphasizing the necessity for
lower freight rates to bring about desired increases in
consumption and lower cost of living.
The report of the transportation committee states
"The existing level of rates, both railroad and
press fish products is high in great measure
to prevent shipments and consumption of fish products.
For the longer hauls the transportation charges are
greater than the product would bring in the markets.
In connection with the general policy Of the admins
traton to bring about reductions in transportation
charges we especially urge a consideration of the
rates on fish products"
