The Interstate Commerce Commission ruled against Southern Pacific and Santa Fe in California orange cases, finding that carrot-like icing charges and rate structures unlawfully pool traffic and set unjust rates from Southern California to Eastern markets. It held lemon rates at $1 per 100 pounds as reasonable while oranges should drop to about $1.01 to $0.97 depending on service timing. Chairman Knapp dissented.
