Processors Urged to Pay Berry Bonus Letters went out Thursday from Herbert E. Steiner, manager of the Northwest Berry Association, asking independent fruit proces sors to pay a bonus of two cents a pound on the 1957 strawberry crop. The bonus is to go to growers. Steiner explained that proces sors informed "us last year that the Oregon price was set by Cali fornia," and as California proces sors raised their buying price to 10 cents a pound toward the end of our harvest, later advancing to 12 cents a pound, we (eel you are morally obligated at this time to make a two cent per pound pay ment on last year's (1957) crop." Steiner concluded his letter with the suggestion that such a move on "your part would greatly im prove your grower-processor rela tionship and pave the way for smooth negotiations for this com ing year s harvest." The Northwest Berry Associa tion,, a bargaining agency, was tentatively formed last September and permanently organized here on February 3. Steiner went, to work as manager September 17, opening headquarter offices in Woodburn.
