RESOLUTIONS AND RULES ON STORAGE IN TRANSIT 



AT a conference of the authorized 

 representatives of the Western Fruit 

 Jobbers' Association, the National League 

 of Commission Merchants of the United 

 States and the International Apple Ship- 

 pers' Assocition held in the La Salle 

 Hotel, Chicago, on the 12th day of 

 December, 1910, the following resolution 

 was unanimously adopted; 



"Resolved, that owing to the growing 

 necessity for storage in transit of box 

 apples from the West, to the end that a 

 broader and more equitable distribution 

 may be accomplished, thus fostering and 

 protecting the industry, increasing the 

 traffic and aiding the furnishing of equip- 

 ment to move the crop, the appended 

 rules governing such storage in transit 

 of apples be submitted to the Transconti- 

 nental Lines Freight Bureau and indi- 

 vidual lines interested, with a request 

 that said rules be adopted in effect and 

 such storage in transit privilege be made 

 lawfully applicable in time to properly 

 move the apple crop of 1911." 



Apples — carloads — from any point 

 shown in tarif¥ may be shipped to any 

 intermediate point, placed in storage and 

 afterward reconsigned on protection of 

 the through rate under the following 

 provisions : 



A — The storage point must be an inter- 

 mediate point in the same general direc- 

 tion, between point of origin and final 

 destination, except that no charge for 

 back haul will be made when ultimate 

 destination is in the same general direc- 

 tion or storage point is in territory inter-

B — Storage must be in warehouse fur- 

 nished by shipper or owner of property.

 storage, insurance or other expense accru- 

 ing at warehouse. 



C — Shipments entitled to storage in 

 transit privilege shall have their expense

 "To Be Stored in Transit." 



D — The surrender of paid expense bills 

 accompanied by warehouse certificate 

 identifying said shipment will be a dec- 



apples direct from the orchard into cold storage; 

 and 



Whereas, the present and prospective storage in 

 the orchard districts is entirely inadequate, and 

 inadvisable for the reason that our apples must be 

 moved through the Rocky Mountains before heavy 

 freezing weather, and be nearer the consuming 

 markets for distribution during winter months; 

 therefore, be it 



Resolved, that we urge and demand that a 

 through rate allowing storage in transit be estab- 

 lished, thus affording our industry the same privi- 

 leges accorded others, notably the millers, who have 

 a milling in transit rate, and the stockmen, who 

 have a feeding in transit rate. 



Resolved, that this meeting, representing the 

 apple growers of the Northwest, appoint a standing 

 committee of five to present our demands to the 

 proper authorities and co-operate with other organ- 

 izations now working to secure a storage in transit 

 rate on apples. 



laration by the shipper that said ship- 

 ment is entitled to transit privilege. 



E — Shipments may be stored in transit 

 for a period not exceeding nine months, 

 but in no case is privilege to be extended 

 beyond July 1st following. 



F — Upon surrender of paid in-bound 

 expense bills shipments will be re-billed 

 from storage point to final destination at 

 balance of through rate, if any, from ini- 

 tial point of shipment to final destina- 

 tion, plus a switching charge not to 

 exceed five dollars. 



G — The through rate in effect on date 

 of shipment from point of origin shall 

 be the rate to be protected.

 of one hundred days be extended to at least nine 

 months; and 



Whereas, to accomplish this, some plan must be 

 inaugurated to get a considerable portion of our

Means supplying water 

 to yonr fields at the 

 least cost consistent 

 with an ample supply. 

 If there is a spring or 

 a running stream of 

 water on your place 

 you can utilize the 

 power of this water to 

 pump itself to where 

 you need it. A Phillips 

 Hydraulic Ram does 

 the trick without a par- 

 ticle of attention from 

 anyone after it is once 

 in operation. It doesn't 

 ' require oiling, even. 

 Simple as can be ; not a 

 single spring or any part that can get out of order. 

 This ram is a modern wonder. Low first cost and 

 no operating expense. Send for further informa- 

 tion, stating how much water fall you have and the 

 quantity. Give us all the information you can.
