Florida fruit growers urge distance factor in rail rates
New York reports Florida fruit growers charging the Interstate Commerce Commission that freight to New York costs nearly as much as California produce despite far shorter distances.

If heard, the case could rebalance views on the phrase all the traffic will bear and distance as a rate determinant.
