CUT IN PEACH RATE
GOES INTO EFFECT!
TO BE ANYBENEFIT?
Georgia Growers Get Gold
Brick From Interstate
Commission.
Some time In the future, when there
Is a good peach crop In Georgia, the
peach ahlppera will be aaved about 873,.
000 a year aa a result of the decision
made Saturday by the Interstate com
merce commission.
This year, with only about one-third
of a crop, they would have been saved
about 924,000, but aa the date on which
the order Is to go Into effect Is July It,
the shippers will get a species of gold
brick In the decision. For by that time
most of the peach shipment will be
over.
According to dispatches from Wash
ington, the commission declared th*
rate ot 61 cents from Macon and At
lanta to New York per hundred pound*
unjust and unreasonable and reduced It
to 76 cents. In addition the icing or re
frigerator charge* were reduced from
13 1-2 centa per crate of 42 pounds to 11
cents.
The decision was the result of th*
complaint made by J. J. Wnxelbaum. a
commission merchant of Mncon, and
the result dealred Is something the
peach growers of Georgia have been
seeking for several years.
One of the main grievances of th*
shippers was that In order to get the
benefit of car load rates of 81 cents
they were compelled to load 560 crate*
of peaches In a car, and they claimed
this was too many and that the top row
of crates contained nothing but decayed
fruit when the cars arrlvad at the destl.
nation.
The commission regulates this by de
claring the reduced rate of 76 cents to
apply to car load shipments containing
20,000 for 16-foot cars and 32,600 pounds
for 40-foot cars.
In this way the commission elimi
nates the objectionable top row. The
rates to Washington and Baltimore are
reduced to 71 oents from 78 cents.
