Mo0ement to Fight

1t a bear, to increase those
charges is TO decrease the total
revenue from that class Of traffic.
That is the situation in the fresh
fruit and vegetable industry"
A thought not brought out by
any other organization was voiced
at a recent convention of the Texas
Wholesale Fruit and Vegetable
Dealers Assn in Dallas, that in
creases should be on a commodity
basis and not a general program,
should an increase be necessary. 1t
was pointed out that an acre OF
cabbage, on a Is per cent increase.
would pay proportionately more
freight than the cotton from 10
acres.
Railroads claim that they have
been driven to seek the increase BY
rapidly diminishing revenues. They
claim that the investment OF many
millions in the railroads Of the
country must be protected and
credit OF the carriers maintained.
