Calif., that 45 hours would be cut between California and eastern points including Chicago was hailed with joy here by packing house managers. The fact that passenger trains can make the trip to New York or Chicago in less than half the time required by the fast freight reefer carrying citrus fruit long has been a sore point with the shippers. It is possible to reach New York in practically four days, whereas citrus fruit has required around a minimum of 12 days. The reduction of two days in the time required to get the fruit to market means that the fruit will be in better condition and command better prices. The schedule calls for 154 hours to Chicago from concentration points as Roseville, Bakerfield, San Bernardino and Colton. St. Louis and Memphis also will be reached within shorter time. The change, effective next Sunday, affects more than 60,000 carloads of oranges and lemons. C. O. Cornell, traffic manager of the Exchange and chairman of the traffic committee of the California Citrus league, is given much of the credit for the improvement. Owing to the fact that cars must be leased on the way, actual running time does not indicate the time required for transit. Manager G. W.
