CtEARANC FRUIT SALES PLAN duick Work With Revolver Frustrates Plan. GROWERS DISLIKE l Mass Meeting at Hood River I Brings Out Complaint Over ! . Poor Price Received HOME RIVALRY OPPOSED ; Jf id-Columbia District to Send 5 Delegates to Seattle Convention ( to Ask Six Biggest Agen- i cles to Co-operate. HOOD RIVER. Or.. Jan. 1 (Spe cial.) The mass meeting- of fruit growers irom the Hood Hirer Valley. Mosicr, White Salmon, and Underwood called together . by the Northwestern by-products committee was charac terized by an expression of . general dissatisfaction with prices received for fruit this season. The meeting today was called by the Northwestern by-products committee to select delegates to confer with that committee in Seattle next Friday be fore the convention of the leaders of the six largest apple-selling agencies of the Northwest. Truman Butler, chairman of the netting and a member of the by products committee, said: The members of our committee are unanimous In their belief that the growers of the Northwestern apple box districts are not getting the re turn that they should, not only because of the competition existing between the different districts, but because of the competition between agencies In, the districts themselves. Hood Klver apples are competing with Hood River apples, and the same conditions pre vail in Wenatchee and in Yakima. I. Kited C-OperatiB Savgfct. -Wo believe that the six large sell ing agencies tan be brought together and that a plan for the betterment of co-operation can be worked out. We have called on growers for suggestions and for their moral support." The six large agencies which control the majority of the tonnage of North western box apples and the co-operation of which Is the aim of the Seattle meeting are the North Pacific Fruit distributors, the Northwestern Fruit Kxchange. the Horticultural Union of Yakima. Richey & Gilbert, of Yakima, the Wenatchee Produce Association and the Wenatchee Fruitgrowers Associa tion. "I am of- the opinion.." said E. H. Shepard. "that If we growers want har mony among the apple-selling agencies It is up to us to voice a strong expres sion of our sentiment. The railroad companies never make any effort to change their rates unless there is a de mand by the people. We can see the effect of the voice of the people in our recent prohibition laws In Oregon and Washington. Ia the present case the apple-growers are the people, and they must make demands before they get what they want." - Harssonlsed Districting- rroeesed. Mr. Shepard outlined the proposed operations of a league that has just been formed among the Wenatchee growers, and which will prevent its members from shipping through selling agencies whose rules of marketing do not conform with those laid down by the league. He said be did not believe that orderly control of the majority of the apples of the Northwest would be obtained until there was a solidifica tion of units composed of closely co operating local districts. Dissatisfaction with the North Pa cific was expresed by a number of growers. "I have been a member of our local union since It was organized," said. J. L. Carter. "We have progressed and each step has seemed for the better. We thought when we organized and became a member of the distributors that were going to arrive at results that you are proposing to bring about now. I do not know that anybody Is to blame, but we have failed and I am now ready to do anything toward get ting together at home. Then we can approach other districts and ask their co-operation." Delegates to Be Named. Representatives of all selling con cerns expressed themselves as desirous of obtaining better local co-operation. "The Northwestern Fruit Exchange is not bringing me enough money." said A. I. Mason, "and yet I think it will return me about 10 to 25 cents more per box than to the growers of the distributors. I don't believe anything will result from our Seattle meeting, I for before we can ever get on the right basis we must get together at home." On Mr. Mason's motion it was de cided by the mass meeting, comprised of about 300 growers from the mid Columbia districts, that each of the local associations, the Apple Growers' Association, the Fruit Growers Ex change, the Hood River Apple and Stor age Company, the associations of Ho ller, White Salmon and Underwood and the' independent shippers would send two delegates to the Seattle meeting. The delegates must be actual growers and not members of the board of di rectors or salaried officers of any sell lag organization.
