TO go into effect Thursday, were
suspended pending investigation
after protests from farm organiza-
tions of Arizona, California, Idaho,
Oregon, Utah and Washington. The
boost would apply to all root and
green vegetables shipped from the
Pacific coast to markets at Chicago
and west and would affect carrot
asparagus, lettuce, pea and cabbage
shipments from the valley
AS explained by railroad men
the proposed increase would amount
to restoration of ten cent per
hundredweight reduction made two
years ago on an emergency" basis,
Meanwhile, a five per cent increase
went into effect. The ten cent cut
was taken after an appeal from
shippers and had been renewed
from time to time each year until
the present, when the roads refused
further renewal. 1t applied only to
markets west of an imaginary line
drawn from Chicago to New Or
leans, including Chicago.
The reduction two years ago low
cred the permanent rate per hum
dredweight of green vegetables from
81 .46 to $1.36. Later, when a five
per cent increase was authorized,
the rate became SLAB and now 1t
is proposed to raise it to $1.53, or
the original flat rate plus the five
per cent boost.
The proposed increase, amount
ing to approximately $40 a car
would affect an estimated 5000 cars
of lettuce, cabbage. peas and as
paragus shipped to Chicago or points
west yearly from Imperial Valley.
Figures are based on Federal-State
Market News reports for 1887 and
1898. 1t was estimated that 35 per
cent of the total valley vegetable
produce is sent west of Chicago.
In addition, approximately 1400
cars of carrots would be affected
by the increase, for boost of $1.16
to $l.25 was sought by the railways
on root vegetables.
Confirmation of the suspension
was received Wednesday forenoon
by j. w. Donohue, district freight
agent for Southern Pacific. in El
Centre. Donohue was unable to
predict what action the commerce
commission might take and the
commission itself indicated only
that the suspension was in effect
pending investigation.
