CHARLES H. TOTTY COMPANY, 



NADISON, NEW JERSEY 



Charles Sizcmore prosentofl his reports 

 as secretary and traffic manager. He 

 said: 



"In December and February we ap- 

 peared before the interstate commerce 

 commission, which was at that time 

 conducting a general hearing regarding 

 reductions in rates, and made a plea 

 that if any reduction was granted, the 

 nurserymen be included. We gave it as 

 the opinion of the nurserymen that a 

 percentage scale of reduction sliould be 

 granted in the same manner that rates 

 had been raised, instead of reducing 

 certain commodities. The National In- 

 dustrial Traffic League and just a few 

 others took the same stand, and no 

 doubt all of you saw the decision in 

 the daily papers rendered by tlie com- 

 mission in May, whereby a general re- 

 duction of ten per cent all over the 

 country was ordered to be effective 

 July 1. 



''Since the above decision was ren- 

 dered several hundred million dollars' 

 cut in railroad labor has been ordered, 

 and if this goes into effect, we feel 

 confident that freight rates will come 

 down again in the near future. 



"For some time we have had the 

 matter of second-class nursery stock 

 up with the express company by 

 correspondence and personally called on 

 them in New York in February and 

 discussed this question fully, but so far 

 have not been able to get any encour- 

 agement that the old rating would be 

 restored. The express officials advised 

 us that railroad companies at the pres- 

 ent time were only receiving about 

 thirty-one per cent of express revenue 

 for their service and that if the ex- 

 press company lowered or wanted to 

 lower any rates the carriers had to be 

 consulted or made vigorous protest 

 against it. Inquiry among railroad traf- 

 fic officials confirmed the above state- 

 ment, but they frankly state that tlie 

 kind of contract between the carriers 

 and express company should not enter 

 into the argument or protest between a 

 shipper and the ex])ress company in 

 any manner whatever. 



"We are now preparing papers and 

 compiling data on this question, and 

 we expect to file a formal protest with 

 the interstate commerce commission and 

 see if this old rating cannot be re- 

 stored. The present express classifici- 

 tion ))rovides second-class rating on 

 many commodities that have as high or 

 higher value than nursery stock and 

 are more perishable, and we expect to 

 bring this out at the hearing. 



"In discussing this with one or two
