Salem, Or., Juno 30. Heprcsentatives
of all the prune packers of the North
west met here last night and organized
an association for mutual protection
and promotion of the interests of their
business.
The organization is ono that has long
been desired by some of the packers,
bnt which could never bo effected here
tofore for the reason that competition
among packers has been too severe. In
the season now about to open, the pack
ers will 'work together for their com
mon interests. The association will
control all the Northwest prune pack.
Among the packing houses in tho or
ganization are II. 8. Gilo & Co., Wil
lamette Valley Prune Association and
W. C. Tillson & Co., all pf Salem; tho
Koseburg packing houses, owned "by Gilo
& Co. and Tillson & Co., Allen's pack
ing house, of Eugene; Lang & Co., of
Portland; Mason, Ehrman & Co., of
Portland; French Packing Company, of
Myrtle Creek, and the packing house at
Vancouver, Wash.
The new association has formulated
two forms of contracts which all tho
firms in the combino will use. 0n6
contract is that to be used in selling
fruit to cpstern buyers, and the other
in buying from local growers. Tho
packers have determined that they will
no longer sell according to forms of
contract, put out by eastern buyers,
nut win dictate tne terms of tne con
tract or not sell at all.
The new contract contains a number
of provisions favorable to Oregon pack
ers. It gives tho packer unlimited
choice in selecting an arbitrary case of
dispute where, as in the past, the arbi
trators have been chosen from the New
York Fruit Exchange. The new con
tract gives the packer the privilege of
filling his contracts with smaller sizes
of prunes if the crop produced docs not
contain the required quantity of large
sizes. It gives the packer tho right to
route the fruit in shipping. It exempts
the packer from liability in case ship
ment is delayed by congestion of
traffic.
It provides that in case of dispute
as to quality, samples for test shall be
taken from one-fifth of the boxes of
fruit; that no allowance for sliort
weight shall be made unless it amounts
to more than ono per cent, and that is
the counting test the size shall include
the seventh prune and not the fifth
only, thus, that 47 prunes shall bo
deemed in the 40-50 size and not 45
only.
The new form of contract with grow
ers will be very explicit in requiring
growers to deliver fruit cured in a first
class manner, free from all burned or
slack-dried fruit. The packer is to be
sole judge of quality and there is to bo
no arbitration in case of dispute.
Tho packer is to have the right to
weigh back to the grower any fruit
slack dried or otherwise unsatisfactory.
The packer will not be required to take
more of a grower's crop than 10 per
cent iu excess of the quantity estimated
in the contract, but the grower must
deliver all his fruit if the paeker de
mands it, regardless of how much it
overruns the estimate.
