held last night at the chamber of

Cherry growers have been or
ganised la some degree, though
not as a bargaining unit, for 10 or
IS years. Sentiment at last night's
session was strong for a coopera
tive unit, and about half i the
group signed In favor of such an
organization. ' -j-

as speedily as possible, however
the growers do not expect to be
organised In time to do anything
as a cooperative unit with j the
1S31 crop. The group looks for

endum has held up.
