Brickbats and flowers was the
expression used by l.. C. Lee of the
board of directors of the Imperial
County Farm Bureau today in de-
scribng the new angles which have
developed in the top icing situation
in the last "a hours.
Today the Farm Bureau is in re-
ceipt of a communication which
would have been heralded, had it ar
rived in time for yesterdays issue
of the Press, with front-page head
lines. For, according to this letter,
by Special Permission No. 65495, the
Interstate Commerce commission has
authorized 80 days extension of the
effective date of the standard re-
frigeration item which was fought
at the top icing hearing in Los An
geles recently.
Shorn of technical language, this
means that Imperial Valley shippers
would have been able to ship let
tucc without standard refrigeration
until March 10, instead of February
10, as previously announced at the
time of the hearing. This would
have allowed the shippers to have
this advantage for the bulk of the
crop, and would have occasioned
much rejoicing. SO muchv for the
"flowers." "
But late yesterday, Manager C. c..
jenkins of the Farm Bureau re-
tnla 1n
office of the American Fruit and
Vegetable Shippers which, until the
full effect of the announcement it
contained can be accurately gagged,
puts a damper upon undue rejoicing
over especial permission No.
65495.'
This wire points to a paragraph
in a new supplement to perishable
protective tariff No. 2, which be-
comes effective December "a, where
in the carriers have attempted to re-
establish the principle of full refrig-
Grafton charges on ears of lettuce
shipped with top icing.
Same Principle Involved
The telegram states that it is be-
lieved that the same principle is in
volved as in the now suspended par
agraphs | and S of docket 1912 of
the recent Los Angeles hearing.
Due to the fact that a copy of
this new supplement has not so far
been received in Imperial Valley,
local shippers are not as fully versed
on the subject as they will be when
they have a chance to read the pro-
posed tariff. However, a telegram
has already been dispatched to Wal

MEXICO CITY, Dec. 7.-Revolt
in six Mexican states appeared like
ly to ,culminate in fighting between
federal forces and rebels in Vera
Cruz at least before nightfall.
Some unconfirmed dispatches told
of skirmishes already having taken
place.
A rebellion, supported by 10000
soldiers under General Guadalupe
Sanchez, started. yesterday in the
state of Vera Cruz. Four other
states are reported to have followed
suit and repudiated the federal gov
ernment.
Governor Laurens of San Luis Po-
tosi, n lieutenant of De La Huerta,
issued a proclamation, throwing off
allegiance to the Obregon govern
ment. This made six states into
which the revolt against lObregon
has spread.
Aimed at Obregon
The revolt is aimed at President
Obregon and his candidate for the
presidency, General Gales.
The rebels back Adolfo De La
Huerta.
Vera Cruz, hotbed of the insurrec-
tion, was entirely cut off from the
capital today.
No trains are running, roads are
blocked. Communication by tele-
phone and wire is interrupted.
Federal forces moved promptly
against the Vera Cruz rebels, ready
to attack and cOnfine the movement
to the state.
The movement in Vera Cruz, as
in the states of Michoacan, Guer-
rero, Jalisco and Tamaulipas, where
apparently independent outbreaks
have occurred, apparently is entire
" political and has to do with the
forthcoming elections.
The uprising in Vera Cruz, how
ever, is by far the most serious.
Mexico City was calm today as
though nothing was happening. Busi-
ness went ON as usual.
There was no exodus of foreign
ers. Many Americans gathered in
small groups at the American and
University clubs and at the Hotel
Regis, discussing the situation.
There is no alarm except by those
who fear the railroad to the north

'RRICKBATS AND FLOWERS

IN TOP ICING SITUATION

ter H. Sprague, Los Angeles attor-
,nev, who so ably represented the
interests of Imperial Valley at the
hearing.
Sprague is now working on the
subject, and if necessary protest
against this new paragraph will be
filed.
For the benefit of those who are
wondering how the matter can ap-
parently be settled, and still remain
in doubt simultaneously, it is stated
that the railroads can file supple
ments to the present tariff any day
in the year, these supplements to
become effective within 30 days,
if not protested. The Interstate
Commerce commission can rule only
on such items as are brought be
fore it, but has no power to pre-
vent the carriers from introducing
any paragraph they desire into the
tariff. In other words, the commits
sion can prevent ruling going into
effect, but cannot prevent its orig
nation.
Hard Fight Looms
This means, according to a promi-
nent shipper and Farm Bureau mem
Der, that close watch must be kept
on the. railroads. 1t seems fairly
probable that successful protest
ON the tariff of December "a can
be made and that the valley may
benefit by the freedom from en-
forced standard refrigeration until
March 10.
But when it is remembered that
r. C. Dearborn, agent of the per
ishable protective department of the
combined railway lines of the coun-
try, in testifying at the lettuce rate
hearing at Los Angeles, stated that
he was opposed to top icing, and
would use every possible method to
prevent its use, the Imperial Valley
shippers know what they are up
against.
According to Director Lee, the
valley shippers will do everything in
their power to prevent this new
move of the carriers in their at
tempt to force standard refrigera-
tion.
