"lie also snyn that, while hi kcc
lion of New York has been the heav
iest producers of pears in the world,
the new plantings aro running much
hlrongor to apples than to pears.
Other items of information are: Thoy

uniformly small si.ed and unsatisfac
tory' Hie only varieties that are Mle1
cossful aro Hartlctts, Kelfcr nilij
Seekel; their cxperimcntH in grafting

cessful, especially if a slow-growing
variety is the top work.
"Mr. Gillctt gave me, an inleicstiug
resume of experiences in marketing.
They formerly depended upon com
mission and jobbing men to keep them
iulormcd of market conditions, but
found that they were being' served
with misinformation that served the
coiuinixsiou men miliar than the
growers. Now they lime partially
perfected a plan of exchange bullet
ins between tlio secretaries of fruit
growers' associations throughout the
eastern districts whereby each dis
trict knows liut the conditions aro
in tho several other districts. Mr.
Gillctt seemed very anxious to seo
this plan (tied on a national basis,
but urged that it must bo entirely in
tho hands of tho growers or their lo
en I organizations, and neither com
mission men, jobbers nor strictly
marketing agencies should bu con
nected with it in uny way.
(Jrocr Kcviirr U-nt
"Another interesting item wns his
statement that tho editor of Mtural
New ork,' which ho considers one of
the. best publications for fruilgrow.
or in tlio world, recently conducted
tin extensive investigation of the
fruit marketing problems and found,
ns tho average of hundreds of sale
investigated, that tho apple grower
the country over averaged .'15 cents
out of every dollar paid for apples
in the United Stales by the consum
ers. His statement is in lino with
ono incident J ran hums two win
ters ago while in Cincinnati, where I
dropped into one of tho best grocery
stores and found some of our Itogue
river Nowtowuu on sale tit 00 cents
per dozen, I asked the'propridtor, af
ter telling him who I was mid why
I wanted to know, what he paid
wholusalo for thoe apples, mid he
told mo .flUS per box. 1 alteiwanls
asked the Medford grow;or who ruibcd
and shipped them what he leeched
net for them, and he said 4-I.iJl per
box. As Mr. Gillctt said, 'It is in the
marketing of our fruit that we must
work out tho future success of the
industry' "
from employers and their ligentH with
utmost. ncL'bblo exceptions, it is the
wage-earners, wio believe, asseit aiij
prove that the very institutions iif
their country hnvo been picvcnted bv
the power of the employer. Prison
records for labor leaders have be
come badges of honor in tho eyes of
mauv of their people, and great mass
meetings throughout the nation ehee:'
denunciations of courts and court decision'?.
Clieor for Prisoners
"State and untional conventions of
labor organizations have cheered the
niimc of lenders imprisoned for par
ticipation in n cnmpnwi of violent"
conducted as one phase of a conflict
with organized employers.
"The unrest of the wngc-carners
lias been augmented by recent devel
opment and changes in industry.
Chief of these are the rapid and uni
versal introduction and extension of
machinery of production, by winch
Unskilled workers may ho substituted

development of means of rapid trans
portation and romniuuicatiou, by
which private capital has been en

"I have thought Ions and bard on
