Shippers Ask Years
Tryout OF Crosswise
Loading OF Tomatoes

this method with lengthwise load
ing as nov done.
Carriers are seeking to discourage
lengthwise loading by asking a 20
per cent higher rate on Tugs so load
ed. Representatives OF the roads
said that they believed tomatoes
would carry woth less damage
when Tugs IRE loaded lengthwise.
The carriers stated that they we're
under the impression that the cur
rent season had been granted the
shippers for a tryout of cross-wise
loading. A conference between
shippers and carriers was held
here IN February at which time
IL vas agreed that the new tariff
would not be put in effect this YEA
son.
The shippers countered by saying
that there had been no material
available with which they could
load Tugs lengthwise, this type of
loading requiring cleats running
crosswsse across the Tugs at the
ends.
The shippers contended that
croSswise loading would eliminate
the bulge pack. No change in es-
timated acceptable weights OF con-
tainers was provided for and the
shippers argued that they would be
compelled TO pay the same rate on
packages weighing less. The car
riers pointed out that the use Of
cleats would enable shippers TO
continue use Of the bulge.
The carriers side was presented
during the course Of the morning
with II. ". Cooper, superintendent
Of freight losses and claims for
the Missouri Pacific as their
principal witness. Carriers witness
ses were croSs-examined by Fred
Hall, Louis Witte and other ship
pers.
After a recess. the shippers pre-
sented their side Of the case. con-
tending that since Tugs would be
packed tightly when loaded cross
wise. that the ventilation would not
be as good. This the carriers sought
TO disapprove.
A large number OF exhibits were
produced. including photographs by
the carriers in the course of the
hearing.
Each side will prepare briefs to
file with the commission.
H. w. johnson was the /. c. G.
examiner who held the hearing
here. The hearing was concluded at
3 o'clock Wednesday afternoon.

Valley Shippers Assn. conducted

ton composed of John Morris. Jr..

an untimely adjournment. Such a

The senate discussed at length
the question OF adjournment. Pro-
posals to extend the session 10

HIGHWAY BOND
ISSUE BEATEN
BY 3 VOTES
Rumors Thick That
Special Session
To Be Called

AUSTIN, May 2l.-7P1-working
within the very shadows Of the
curtain scheduled to fall tomorrow
ct noon, the legislature planned to
redouble its efforts today to make
final disposition Of urgent legisla-
ton.
Rumors continued to hold that
Governor Sterling would call the
legislator back for q special ses-
sion One was that the special
session would be called Saturday,
another Monday and still another
next fall.
The house rejected the $212, 00O,-
600 highway bond issue again yes
terday. the vote being 81 to 46.
Speaker Minor overruled a point Of
order which sought to hold that the
proposed amendment could not be
taken up again because it failed at
final passage.
Representative Hubbard OF New
Boston, sponsor of the issue In the
house, said no further effort would
be made to bring the resolution up
this session.
The house moves at moor within
the confines Of the "a hour rule.
After that hour, nothing but free
conference reports and resolutions
to recall bills for correction can be
taken up as new legislation.
House and senate free conferees
agreed last night TO recommend ap-
preparations OF $1,000, 900 for rural
school aid during the biennium. The
report was the first Of the major
money bills now before free con-
ference committees to be reported.
The eleemoSynary, departmental and
the educational appropriations bills
were considered The appropriations
bills and the congressional redlS-
tricting bill were said TO be the de-
termining factors in the question
OF whether the legislature would
remain with its deliberations longer
than tomorrow.
Only one of the Senate's amend
ments to the Holder peddler's bill
the Hopkins cement tax amendment
was taken from the measure when
IL reached the house. The 10 lie re-
commended that the cement tax
proposal be sent 10 a free confer
ence committee. The amendment
proposed a five cents per sack levy
ON cement.
Amendments to the Holder till,
IN which the house concurred, in
cluded a rs cent per ton levy on
sulphur. The present tax is SIS cents
per ton.
The house also sanctioned ar
amendment to the bill which rein
stated. although at a lower figure.
the occupation tax on cigaret deal
ers. The dealers tax was lost dur
ing the shuffling of statutes as the
senate prepared its cigaret tax am
endment.
Still other proposals relative to
adjournment were pending in the
senate. Resolutions proposing a6-
journment May % and May ..
specifying return June % were
tabled subject to call and originally
scheduled for consideration yeSte--
day. Neither was called from the
table.

McKelvie said 1t was because it did
not want to lead American farm
ers to believe they could compete
in the world market at current
price levels. He pointed to the

about 20 cents l.. bushel between
Chicago and Liverpool values as
indicative of the benefit Of an Am

ducts.
II was explained at Board head
quarters that in the campaign to
adjust domestic production to con-
sumption the Board never had lost
sight OF the necessity for export
ing some wheat.
II would be impractical. II was
said. to set an arbitrary figure for
domestic consumption and ask
farmers to produce no more nor no
less.

vocated by Alexander Legge. for

production on a domestic consumo-
ton basis, It was said, embraced
full congnizance that no given

there must be some wheat carried
over at the end OF each season to
insure against possible crop failure

American mills require about 40
