Standard Rates

'bN OLdII OOTTSSpdluentl
HARLINGEN, oct. l5.-The rail-

thorize standard rates on ship
ments of citrus fruits from the VAL
ley in bags, according to a letter
received by the Valley Shippers
Assn. from S. @. Reed, freight
traffic manager Of the Southern
Pacific.
He also advised that he was
submitting a proposal jointly with
the Missouri Pacific to authorize
shipment in standard bushels TO
eastern and southern points. The
tariff at present will not permit
shipments to these territories in
bushel baskets.
Commodity rates on citrus in
bags apply at this time to only
certain southwestern and middle
western states. such shipments to
other alas taking a higher classifi-
cation making s OF bags pro-
hibitive. IN those territories where
the commodity rate applies to cit
rus fruit in bags there is a saving.
