Especial to The Herald)

LOS ANGELES, May IL. - Stimuli
taneous action of all heavy tonnage
producing industries of the Pacific
Coast in a drive to obtain lower
freight rates has been concentrated in
a gigantic Save the West" move
ment. officials of these industries
stated yesterday.
Producers of fresh fruits and vege-
tables declare they are fighting to
save the industries from destruction
and the only hope is reduction of the
present rail rate. Amendments TO the
Transportation Act Of 1920, which
caused the last raise of 33 l-3 per
cent in freight rates, will be the first
objective.
The assailed act guarantees a net
annual earning Of 6 per cent upon
the value combined railroad prop
critics in the United States.
c. c. league, President of the Cal
ifornia Fruit Growers Exchange, said
today that by this act the Interstate
Commerce commission is charged with
fixing rates on the shippers Of the
United States which will produce an
earning on billions of dollars of
worthless property-railroads which,
he asserts, should never have been
built, will be kept out of the receivers
hands through the s per cent they OBJ
tain on their holdings. AT the same
time the growers of California organ
lied to battle the legislation, the
growers Of the northwest. including
Oregon, Washington, and Idaho. and
the producers of Arizona and Texas
were starting similar campaigns.
These actions have led to a concerted
battle for fower rates.
That citrus groves are being torn
out in Southern California because
each crop of fruit shipped to eastern
markets under present rail rates
means a dead loss to the growers. u

foreigner, IL not pondering deep

In the latest rioting here and in

assumed a sinister aspect in the
minds of the police. The Associated

It was not so long ago that those who went into the polar regions lost all means of communicating with civiIiza- ton, except by means of messengers, af- ter their left certain points. It was inn possible thereafter to give the world any hiking as to where they were or what they were dcinE except over long per- bds.
 Today 1t in aIferent and as MacMil- Ian and his party go north they are pro- vieed with radio equipment whereby it will be possible to communicate with those left behind about as frequently as thez Aesire. They will not be so much cat Of touch with what is going on in the world as formerly. Fight returns, baseban results and the happenings of the day will be theirs for the asking In addition to getting the news they will Do able to give an account of their progress or to send ont appeal for aid should that by any chance be necessary from any reason at all.
 Just how much value the airplane can bs on such tour of exploration ought also to be clearly demonstrated.
