The piece notes Ex Governor Broward may seek Senator Taliaferro's seat, urging growers to attend a meeting with Mr Andrews. It highlights a 1/2 cent per pound pineapple duty enacted by the Senate, improving the East Coast pineapple trade and narrowing Cuba Florida price gaps. Fort Pierce grows as new transport lines open, while reclamation of Santa Lucia inlet looms on federal funds radar.

Take Your Choice On East Coast Pineapple Transport

A debate over East Coast Railway handling of Florida pineapples contrasts a faction alleging preferential through-train routing and long holds for Cuban crates at high through rates from Cuba to Chicago. Opponents, including Fort Pierce Tribune, claim Florida pineapples receive the same facilities as Cuban shipments with car routing and switch engines, while local Jacksonville, Miami, Delray, and Fort Pierce rates differ.
