Williams Says Fruit
Industry Dependent
Upon Reduced Rates
The prosperity of fruit and vege
table producers of the Pacific nor
thwest states this season denenua
ie large measure upon prompt ac
tion on tne part 01 me interstate
commerce commission reducing
freight for shipments from these
stales to the middle west and eas
tern states, according to Fred A.
Williams, chairman of the Oregon
"public service commission. Wil
liams, who returned Thursday
from the conference at Yakima,
Wash., :it which the problems of
the producers of this section were
presented to 'the national commis
sion through their special repre
sentatives, Henry J. Ford, has
strong hopag that relief will be
forthcoming In time to save the
situation.
Hpntyltl? remains undone, boxes
have not been ordered and the en
tire uroerani of tiarinir for the
fruit crop of this territory lags
because of inability to finance the
Industry, according to testimony
, presented ; y producers at the Ya
kima conference. Bankers are un
willing to extend loans to the pro
ducers until a market is assured
and this lo turn depends upon the
attitude of the carriers and the
extension of lower rates which will
permit of the marketing of the
products of this section in the
stern and middle western states.
Very liltle help is being em
plowed in the orchards and berry
fields of this section, the produ
cers depending largely upon their
own labor and that of their fam
ily In their efforts to effect econ
omies at every turn but these ef
forts will "be largely unavailing
without n corresponding show of
Co-operation on the part of the
railroads, Williams declares.
