It was learned here trxlav that noma
California fruitgrowers are organizing
for the purpose of seeking amendments
to the "standard apple box bill" that
has been indorsed by the fruitgrowers
cf. the Pacific northwest, and which
comes up for hearing February H be
fore the committee of interstate and
foreign commerce. Fruitgrowers here,
who declare the bill as drawn is excel
lent and the result of many years of
the very hardest kind of work and
closest attention to everv detail, are
anxious that no amendments be made.
a. f. Batenam, vice president of the
Northwest Fruit Exchange, who has
oeen active ror tne past two years in
getting the bill lined up, stated this
morning that the fruitgrowers of the
r"aciric northwest, who are particular
ly interested in the standardization of
the apple industry, should lose no "time
in sending their representative to
Washington to attend the hearing and
present the views of the fruitgrowers

Washington, to appear before the com
mittee when the bill comes up for con
sideration, and he will also appear in
behalf of the Washington Horticul
tural society -and many other organiza
tions. Mr. Whisler is a fruitgrower
and is regarded as the best man that
could be delegated for this Important
mission.
One of the sections that the Cali
fornia growers wish to amend Is that
establishing standards for the foreign
trade. It being said that the apple
growers in California feel that this
government should not prescribe what
kind of boxes and what kind of apples
foreign buyers should be permitted to
buy or handle. On tie other hand, it
is contended here that by prescribing
a definite standard the American apple
will soon be placed on a superior oasis
throughout the whole apple-buying
world.
It is further recommended -by the
California apple interests that the act
be not effective until July 1, 1915, In
stead of July 1, 1914, as laws of this
character, with a commodity line ap
ples, which may be packed ana Jn stor
age, and where box snooks and boxes
are made up in advance on present
standards, are to an extent confisca
tory when made operative so soon
after passage. In this connection,
however, it may be stated that the
box manufacturers of the Pacific
northwest and the whole country have
recentlv arrived at standard dimen
sions for boxes and berry crates.
The California growers also favor
the elimination of the word "practi
cally" in the section providing that
"standard" apples must be "practical
ly" free from dirt or insect pests. They
contend that the word "practically" is
too elastic, and would substitute that
the apples be not less than 90 per cent
free of all defects and diseases or in
sect posts combined, and not less than
95 per cent free of any one particular
pest or defect.

On Judge Morrow's desk, when he
was seen this morning, were lying the
papers of this suit. Judge Morrow said
that he had taken up the rase today
with a view to making a decision. It
has been lying without any action since
December 17, 1912, a year and a month.
The suit of Schade Brothers A Co.
against George Muller and others waa
filed In June of 1911 and the trial of
the case was taken up before Judge
Morrow March 11, 1912. Previously to
that time, however, a demurrer to the
complaint had been entered, argued
and overruled by Judge Morrow Sep
tember 18. 1911.
Attorney A. T. Lewis, who repre
sented the plaintiffs, in speaking of
this case said that he had asked
Judge Morrow repeatedly for a de
cision and that none had ever been
made. Lewis said that he had had a
"row" with Judge Morrow over the
matter and that he had written sev
eral letters to him about It.
"I don't see how he Is able to col
lect his salary without making false
certificates with hie pay vouchera."
declared Lewis, "for he certainly haa
violated the law in this case anyway.
It has been very embarrassing to me
because my clients are repeatedly ask

me several times that he has not
