addressed a letter to the western
carricrs, including the Santa Fe,
Southern Pacific and Union Pacific
railroads and the Transcontinental

1T has come to our attention that
YOU propose Il 16 pound
billing weights for lettuce
on all size packages which is IN av-
orage increase of six pounds per
package.
"The industry would be glad to be
able to ship lettuce without icing
the package but it has been proven
niece ssarv that ice be used and a
maximum amount of 30 pounds per
package has been agreed upon. If
anyone is abusing this rule, the in
dnstry as a whole is willing to CO.
operate and stop thik abuse. lee is
used in the package to make il pos
sible for the railroads to have this
traffic and the cost is paid by the
producer. We want to call your
attention to the 10 pound shrinkage
allowed by the carrier. We request
that this be made l. instead of 10
due To the fact that this ice is Il
Pcservative and from Il to 20
pounds on an average melts in tran
sit and only 10 to Is pounds i,s deliv-
cred.
"We also call your attention to
fact the lettuce grower or shopper
must guarantee the freight. we
therefore request that the present
billing rate for lettuce be not chang
ed for our mutual good. -
