Mr. White in a letter to The Herald
stresses the importance of Valley oppo-
sition to this propo-ul saying:
"Tin- is very pla.nl> ;u; attempt on

“We -hould do eve y thing i our paw
er to keep T lorida from ecuiing any
advantage over u« n tin- way of prefer
ential ra!>- . especially in our own i rade
teintory and any other territory where
^rnssible to do -o. .1. A Brown gr
eral fieight agent of the i.ulf Const

of any uch rates and wi h proper
support should be able to keep them
fiom being puhl shed.
“We have assured Mr. Brown of out
support but the more upport he has
from the Valley tin- more weight Ins
objections will have. It the Valley

able to .-top the est ib|i-huienta of iate-

“For the next three or four
want to put all of our effor

that the gtapef uit from th

Plainly if this proposed hulk rate i-
a menace to the citrU' fruit industry
in the Valley it i' up to the fruit n
