cent freight rate increase, Robert F.
Blair of Cleveland, president of the
National League Of Commission Mer-
chants, wrote TO the heads of all rail
lines asking that fresh fruit and
vegetables be exempted from the higher
tariffs.
Pointing out that transportation
charges collected on these commodities
in this year Of low prices may be as
much as 80 per cent when compared
with the farm value OF the commodities,
Blair says all increase in these rates
would not only be unfair to the grow
ers and shippers. but would be likely
to reduce the total tonnage which
would seriously affect our business, and
would more than likely reduce the
revenues of the carriers by decrease
In shipments"
$4O,317,Ol5 Increase Feared.
Citing data to show that the trans
portation cost, when compared with the
actual farm value Of the fruits and
vegetables shipped, was 54.9l per cent
in 1880, 1888 per cent In 1929, and
56.40 per cent in 1928, in his letter to
the executives, Blair writes:
Using the 1880 tonnage as q base.
horizontal increase OF Is per cent APP
piled to the freight revenue paid by
this industry would produce an increase
in transportation costs amounting to
$40, 3l7, Ol5.75. II the total anticipated
increase IL railroad receipts due to the
rate increase Is $400,000 900, the pro-
duce trade. If the volume of 1880 kept
up, would pay about 10 per cent of the
total amount OF the increase.
I Last year our traffic amounted 10
1928 per cent of the total number Of
carloads moved and for this service we
paid the railroads TIL per cent Of the
total freight revenue received by them
for moving all traffic. 1t hardly seems
fair that q business which already pays
TIL per cent of railroad revenues for
hauling 1.2S per cent Of the tonnage
should be looked to to take care OF 10
