BETTER FRUIT 



A BRIEF RESUME OF THE STORAGE SITUATION 



From "The Spy," Organ of the Apple Shippers' Association 



AT the last convention it was ordered 

 that the matter of storage of apples 

 in transit be vigorously pressed by the 

 association and that sufificient funds be 

 granted to meet the accounts, expenses 

 to be first approved by the executive 

 committee. The work was taken up by 

 the transportation committee and a 

 special sub-committee appointed with 

 E. N. Loomis as chairman and John B. 

 Frey, N. G. Gibson and W. J. Henry as 

 the other members. A conference was 

 then arranged between this association, 

 the Western Fruit Jobbers' Association 

 and the National League of Commission 

 Merchants. As a result of this meeting a 

 special conference committee represent- 

 ing these associations was organized, 

 consisting of E. N. Loomis, N. G. Gibson, 

 W. D. Tidwell, J. E. Stewart, R. E. Han- 

 ley, W. E. Jones, and H. J. Shifferle of 

 No. 131 South Water street, Chicago, as 

 secretary. 



It was then determined to submit this 

 proposition to the Transcontinental Lines 

 Freight Bureau and individual lines inter- 

 ested, with a request that the privilege be 

 made applicable in time to move the 

 apple crop of 1911. In accordance there- 

 with proposed rules were formulated for 

 the protection of the railroads as follows: 



"Apples, carloads, from any point 

 shown in tariff, may be shipped to any 

 intermediate point, placed in storage, and

through rate, under following provisions: 



"A — The storage point must be an 

 intermediate point in the same general 

 direction between point of origin and 

 final destination, except that no charge 

 for back haul will be made, when ulti- 

 mate destination is in the same general 

 direction, or storage point is in territory 

 intermediate via any route from point of 

 origin to final destination. 



"B — Storage must be in warehouse 

 furnished by shipper, or owner of prop- 

 erty. The carrier not to assume charges 

 for storage, insurance, or other expense 

 accruing at warehouse. 



"C — Shipments entitled to storage in 

 transit privilege shall have their expense 

 bills at the storage station stamped, 'To 

 be stored in transit.' 



"D — The surrender of paid expense 

 bills, accompanied by warehouse certifi- 

 cate identifying said shipment, will be a 

 declaration by the shipper that said ship- 

 ment is entitled to transit privilege. 



"E — Shipments may be stored in 



April 



transit for a period not exceeding nine 

 months, but in no case is privilege to be 

 extended beyond July 1 following. 



"F — Upon surrender of paid in-bound 

 expense bills, shipments will be rebilled 

 from storage point to final destination, 

 plus a switching charge not to exceed $5. 



"G — The through rate in effect on date 

 of shipment from point of origin shall be 

 the rate to be protected." 



Much work has been done by this 

 committee and as a result the number of 

 associations working for the privilege is 

 continually increasing, and the railroads 

 themselves have taken an increased 

 interest in the matter. The central 

 freight committee, located at Chicago, 

 has voted in favor of granting this privi- 

 lege. This committee acts in an advisory 

 capacity to the Central Freight Associa- 

 tion, comprising all the transcontinental 

 lines entering Chicago, and from this 

 center the movement would be expected 

 to extend to the transcontinental lines 

 entering New York. In addition, promi- 

 nent banking interests on the Pacific 

 Coast are actively at work urging the 

 Western lines to grant this relief.
