could make an intelligent survey
OF the entire situation. After the
service agents investigation was
completed he came to Washington
and made a personal report. After
such report 1t was arranged that
the suspended proceeding be as
signed for formal hearing be-
fore me.
Accompanying the notice Of hear

informal conference would be had
the previous day. that is. the day
before the hearing . IL was my ex-
pectation and hope that at such an
informal conference we would be
able to reconcile the difference to
the mutual satisfaction Of all con-

an agreement was reached under
which standard uniform containers
were to be used in the shipment
OF vegetables from the Valley. and
estimated weights applicable on the
different containers when packed
in such containers were agreed

estimated weights were agreed

weights could not be changed X

whether the weights thus agreed

Tariffs carrying out the agreement
were duly filed. and so far as I am
advised the agreement thus entered
into has worked out tremendously.
Suspended Tariff Cancelled
Needless to say. it was not neces-
sary TO hold a formal hearing. The
tariff under suspension was volun-
tarily cancelled by the carriers and
new tariffs embodying the agree
ment were filed in lieu thereof.
