RUNGE MAKES
STATEMENTN
CONTROVERSY

Relative to the controversy he
tween lettuce shippers ANA the rail.
road company on the question of
shipping dry lettuce, c. w. Runge,
district freight and passenger agent
for the Southern Pacific company
today gave the Press the following
statement, covering the railroad :
side of the controversy.
Your article III last night 5
Press states the lettuce growers are
plannig TO oppose strenuously Il
petition of the railroad company TO
prohibit dry shipments of lettuce.
This is incorrect, so far as the rail
roads have any such petition oppOs-
ing dry shipments of lettuce. The
railroads are not opposed 10 the
dry shipments of lettuce with from
% to 40 pounds of crushed ice in 4.
crate.
shippers have the option of ship
ping under standard ventilation
(dry): one initial icing, or under
full refrigeration. The petition that
the railroads have up is 10 stop the
practice of shippers in putting from
~ to is 300-pound blocks Of ice in
the ears on top of the lettuce, then
not using any ice in the bunkers,
Railroad companies handle this
additional ice Ihout receiving any
compensation, besides which, the
insulated refrigerator ears were
never built to handle Preservatives
in this manner ana IT is injurious to
these ears. -
The Press was given its informa-
tion by C. c. Jenkins, secretary OF
the Farm Bureau. Mr.. jenkins, who
has gone TO Los Angeles to attend
the hearing in the case before the
Railroad commissioner, could not
be reached for an additional state
ment,
