Refusing Perishable
Freight Is Upheld
Lincoln, IVc, 15.—(Special.)—The
state railway commission has refused
to hear complaints of fruit jobbers
because of the enforcement by the
railroads and express companies of the
rule that they will refuse to receive
perishables when the thermometer
tails to 5 below z°ro. Jobbers com
plained Friday that because the weath
er bureau man had prod icteil so low a
temperature the railroads refused
shipments, although as it turned oul
the weather man made a bad guess.
They objected, they said, to having
an embargo put on fruit every tiniu
a railroad man thinks there will be a,
freezing temperature.
The railroad men retorted that tho
fruit jobber was not concerned as to
the temperature so much as the rail
roads are, because if the fruit is
frozen cn route he makes the rail
roads pay for It. The railroad men
said a retailer was just as well oil
when he didn't get fruit as when his
shipment froze on the way.
Tho commissioners said the rail
roads bad a right to exercise a reas
onable discretion.
