Milton W. Harrison, president of the National Security Owners Association, told the Brotherhood of Locomotive Firemen and Engine Men at their 82nd convention in Columbus that restoring railway revenues through freight-rate readjustment is the only practical way to improve carriers and relieve railroad unemployment. He urged rail labor to back a 15 percent freight-rate rise filed with the ICC, warning little relief to commodity prices would come otherwise. Peaches may be more profitable by thinning fruit, says horticulturist George H. Firor.
