Hearing to Consider Freight Penalty on Fibreboard Shipments
A hearing before the Interstate Commerce Commission on November 23 in San Francisco will decide a proposed 10 percent penalty on freight charges for vegetables and fruits shipped in fibreboard containers. Thomas Phillips of the Western Growers Protective Association, representing its members, says the penalty targets unauthorized containers and was previously tied to wooden and fibre containers. The association argues the penalty is unjustified after test shipments of 2,500 packages in the Southwest were permitted, a practice not followed in the California Arizona region.
