Association Takes
Up Major Problems

HOUSTON, Tex, Jan. l6. (UP)-
The convention of the United Fresh
Fruit and Vegetable association be-
gins here today with problems of
merchandising, transportation and
the federal wage-hour law on the
agenda.
One of the principal problems fac
ing the l,500 delegates will be dis
criminatory freight rates which
William Garfitt of Chicago, asso-
citation executive vice president,
said, have placed the SOUTH south
west, west and Pacific northwest
under severe handicap.
High freight rates have placed
the large eastern markets almost
out of reach of most western pack
ers and shippers, he said, citing the
present difficulties of the Pacific
northwestern box apples and pears
industry as typical.
Railroad executives, steamship
operators and trucking officials
were here and it was believed they
would play a major role in formu-
iating the association program for
1910. Garfitt said the organization
would strive to increase fresh fruit
and vegetable carloadings by 10000
this year. Annual carloadings aver
age 100000.
Garfitt also announced that the
organization hoped to obtain WPA

Bioff Extradition
Priority Hearing
Slated Wednesday

SACRAMENTO. Jan. l6. (UP)-
M. Stanley Mosk. executive secre-
tary to Gov. Culbert Olson, today
set l p. m. tomorrow for a hearing
on the question of whether a fed
eral indictment or an Illinois ex-
tradition warrant against william
Bioff, Los Angles movie labor lead
er. has priority.
The hearing was scheduled at re-
quest of Bioffs attorneys, who con-
tend that indictment of the labor
leader by a federal grand jury on
charges of income tax evasion takes
precedence over the request of the
governor of Illinois for his return
to Chicago to complete a Sixmonths
sentence imposed II years ago for
pandering.
A separate hearing will be held
later on the extradition request it
self if it is found the Illinois re-
QUESTION has legal status in the face
Of the federal action, Mosk said.
