California Fruit Men Show Extortion In Orange Rates. San Francisco. Feb. 28. The ma jority of the interstate commerce commission against the Southern Pa cific and Santa Fe in the matter of orange shipments to the East from Southern California, came as a great surprise yesterday to the officials of both companies. This litigation about citrus shipments has extended over several yeara. This extended litigation . Involves one of the finest traffic plums among railroads. Orange shipments out or Southern California at a very con servative estimate aggregate 25,000 carloads to the East. In a general way a carload of or anges Is valued at 1100. Out of this the railroads take SS2B for freight transportation alone. Out of the re malnder the orange grower and mid dlemen must get their profit and pay refrigeration charges and all other expenses. This season the citrus ship ments to the East will therefore have a gross valuation of 111, 600,000. From this amount the Southern Pacific and Santa Fe take 18,125,000 in freight charges.
