" . ; Rates. : N Hood, River, Or., Oct. 10. The 800 ap ple packers of Hood River have organ ised an association for the purpose of providing a ' schedule, of packing- rates and to maintain uniformity In the pack ing industry. At a recent meeting of the association a minimum price of cents per box; was adopted, '.and the packer will board himself. It la declared by the growers that these prices are too high, and as a result the apple pack ing business 'is at present la a chaotlo state and considerable damage la threat ened to the .earlier varieties that "re quire immediate packing and shipping in order that they may not become too ripe before being put In transit. It is contended by the ' growers that the prices paid in the Hood River section for packing are In advance of prices paid in other districts and they declare they will hold out against . the present el fort of the -packers to advance prices. It la said by, the growera that outside packers, will be. secured to pack the Hood River crop If the local packers fall to return' to work.;. The Apple Orow rs' association has offered the plant of the National Apple ' company to the growers In which, to store their apples In bulk., if they are unable to get them packed, , and to have them packed out later in the . season. ' , . The packers contend that their de mands are not exorbitant, and that they propose to hold out for the prices sched uled.. ..: 1 ; 'Zr' j ' v ." .
