High Freight Rates Burden
California Fruit Growers

SAN FRANCISCO, Calf. March IL
The menacing situation in the rail-
road and packing industries has af-
fected business in this district and
as possible. owing to uncertainty as
to the future. Trade is distinctly of
staple character. Some idea of
the burden of high freight rates on
fruit growers and consumers can be
gained from the statement of one
shipper that oranges shipped to Chi
cago cost for freight % cents a dozen.
controversy of vital interest to
the California dried fruit industry
and to eastern trade as well has been
referred to the United States Ship
ping Board for solution. Some weeks
ago representatives of fruit growers
secured a reduction in the rate of
California dried fruit shipped in bags
to New York by water. The new
rate was cut from S1.10 per hun
dred to so cents. against 80 cents for
boxed fruit.
Plan Packing in East.
1t is the plan of the growers to
pack all their dried fruits in their
own plants in the east. Packers saw
in this reduction the destruction of
the packing industry of California.
as they cannot ship boxed fruit and
compete with the low rate granted
the growers. They demanded a sim
liar reduction. No agreement with
the shipping companies was reached
and the case was referred to the Ship
ping Board
Under the new system. it is claimed,
practically all California dried fruit
will reach the east by water there
to be prepared for sale.
