GROWERS BLAME RAIL FARES FOR LOSSES IN WATSONVILLE
At a Watsonville fruit growers meeting, chairman Stephens reported freight rates and discriminatory practices harm profits. From 1092 grape freight moves in eight days, railroads earned 469000 while growers lost 183000. Deciduous fruit shipments to eastern markets showed most cars sold at a loss, with minimal profit. Growers accuse Southern Pacific of high rates and using funds to attract competitors, and note tax methods burdening growers. Overall shipments this year set records, but losses persist despite rate reductions.
