Grower's Co-operative Asso
ciation in Medforcl District
Acquires Control Bardwell
Fruit Company Stewart
Fruit Company to Market 75
Per Cent Crop.
What is described by leading fruit
growers hero as a condition approach
ing the ideal in the marketing of
Rogue river valley fruits is contained
in the announcement made today of
the deal whereby the Oregon Growers
C'ooporativo association for tho local
district acquires control of the Bard
well Fruit company and the Stewart
Fruit company becomes the market
ing agent for the combined interests.
This announcement is authorized by
Colonel Corden Voorhies, vice-president
and chairman of the local dis
trict of the Oregon Growers.
ThiB arrangement, according to
Voorhies will place from 75 to S3
per cent of the tonnago of both ap
ples and pears grown in tho Rogue
river valley through one marketing
agency.
In the amalgamation the associa
tion acquires tho packing houses and
ottyar facilities of the Bardwell Fruit
cofnpany and will operato them this
year at least without change either in
the methods or personnel of the ad
ministrative force. Ralph Bardwell
becomes an officer of tho Stewart
Fruit company.
Operate Baitlwell Co.
For tho present season at least, the
association will operate the Hard
well Fruit company entirely inde
pendent of its members' affairs. Bard
well will remain in the Medford dis
trict as a representative of the Stew
art Fruit company at least until the
expiration of the present packing and
shipping season. Afterwards, Bard
well plans to spend tho major portion
of his time in California, although
he will maintain his home here in
Medford.
"I consider this the biggest for
ward step ever taken by the fruit
growers of this valley," said Colonel
Voorhies today. With from 75 to
85 per cent of all the tonnage in the
hands of the Stewart Fruit company
there Is no doubt in my mind but.
what most of tho price slnshing in
the scramble for business will be elim
inated, to the great benefit of every
man growing fruit in the valley."
V. If. Stewart Pleased .
W. II. Stewart, president of the
Stewart Fruit company, who has been
here for several days in connection
with tho deal, was delighted today
' over the result of his conferences.
"This is a great compliment to the
Stewart Fruit company and myself,"
ho said. "At the same time it gives
i's an opportunity to approximate a
control of the tonnage, an ideal sit
uation from the point of view of the
salesman. If, in the next few years,
we do not bring the growers of the
Rogue river valley higher proportion
ate returns than they have ever had,
I will have no apology to offer."
Robert C. Paulus, general mann'
ber of tho association, Is enthusias

J. H. Thomas Prominent Brit
ish Labor Leader, Advises
A. F. L to Keep Hands Off!
Irish Problem Action Will
Only Weaken Labor's Cause
Is English Question.
AUDITORIUM, Denver. June M.
Warning u gainst any limitation that
niljfht disrupt the American labor
movement, James 11. Thomas, llrittsh
labor leader, told the American fed
eration of .Labor convention today
that it could not solve ihu Irish prob
lem. "For one hundred years w in
England have been eon fronted wit h
the problem of Ireland and If we at
home cannot solve that problem let
me ask how do yon, 3,000 miles away
expect to solve it?" Mr. Thome, q ad
dres.st'd tho convention as a Iraternal
delegate from tho ftritish trdea union
congress.
"IJrltish labor," lie continued, "hits
always stood and stands now for lib
erty. "We stand for home rulu fm
Ireland.
"Let me warn you against any no
tation that might disrupt your move
ment here in America by creating dif
ferences anions yourselves. Do not
mistake me. British labor Mauds lor
Irish freedom; the only limitation we
insist upon is that Ireland shall not
be allowed to become a menace.
"For one hundred years the peon'e
of Ireland have been deceived For
one hundred years they have been
fed upon promises broken promises,
by Itritish statesmen. Now the Irish
people are looking to you."
"1 warn you against trying to cre
ate in their minds the feeling thaPyou
can solve their difficulties. You can't
solve by passing resolutions Ibis prob
lem that has existed for the past one
hundred years."
Mr. Thomas' remarks Immediately
brought a response from Irish sympa
thizers among the delegates who de
manded the right to question him.
After the British leader had ans
wered several questions regarding the
acts of the military In Ireland Presi
dent Samuel Gompers stopped fur
ther debate '
In answering Timothy Ilealy of New
York, one of tho leaders of the Irish
sympathizers, Mr. Thomas said that
"militarism may go on to doom's day.
but it will not solve the Irish prob
lem." . Disarmament Only Hope.
Disarmament, Mr. Thomas declared
"is the only panacea for tho world's
ills."
"The only triumph nnd justifica
tion," he said, "for tho lives sacri
ficed in the groat world war will be
the know lodge that they have died
that war may be Impossible in the fu
ture." No nation Is entitled to claim credit
for winning the war, asserted the la
bop leader, adding, "let us realize we
all shred a common sacrifice and
shared in the glory of victory.
Peace Not Won.
"Don't confuse the winning of the
war with tho winning of peace.
"While I believed tho war won I
am very apprehensive as to whether
wo have won peace.
"We have also been living In arti
ficial prosperity a fool's pnradlse,"
said Mr. Thomas. "The workers of
the world also are suffering the in
evitable price of living a riotous life
during the last nix years."
He pointed out that much of the
"artificial prosperity," was clue" to the
"mistakes of the governments confus
ing paper money with wealth." This,
ho said, had resulted in tho serious
depreciation In the value of currency
abroad.

A man, believed to be Hoy (inrdncr. is
thought In lit' KiirrmmdMl at "tho
rock."-a half mile south of here this
morning. Tweniy-ilve mm are in
the posse that Is ready to rinse In on
the man.
The man, who has gold teeth and
otherwise answers the description nf
(iardner, appeared at the Uoyal res
taurant here at six o'clock this morn
ing, lie ordered a meal, hut before
ho ate it he heeame frightened when
an officer walked In front of tho res
taurant several times. Ho inado a
hasty exit and Mrs. Williamson, an
employe in tho restaurant, watched
him go south and notified officers.
Sheriff J. W. - linggutt of Cowlitz
county Is In charge of the pos.su at
"the rock."
The suspect first appeared hero at
6 :ao o'clock this morning. He met
Henry Wend on the outskirts of town
and asked where fie could get some
thing to eat. Air. We ml directed the
man to tho Itoyal restaurant.
At 6:40 o'clock tho man entered
tho restaurant and ordered "a h'owl
of inush and ham and."
Mrs. H. Williamson, wife of tho pro
prietor of the Itoyal, took tho order.
While the breakfast was being pro
pared M r. Wend, who had become
suspicious of tho stranger, walked
past tho restaurant to see If the mar.
had entered the place. Seeing him,
Mr. "Wend stepped closo to the win
dow to obtain a clearer view of the
suspect.
The stranger waited until Wond
had left the window, then went to
tho door and looking first ono W'iy
and then the ot her, bolted t hrough
tho door, ran south and dodged behind
"tho rock," from which tho town
takes its namo.
Sheriff .1. W. Hoggatt was notified
and a posse of 2fi men immediately
surrounded tho district in which the
suspected fugitive is believed to have
taken refuge.
A force of special agents of the
railway companies was rushed here
from Kelso and Immediately took part
hi tho search.
"There Is no doubt In my mind that
tho Htranger in my plaeo of business
thin morning was Gardner, " said H.
Williamson, who conducts tho Jtoyal
restaurant. "Ho answers tho descrip
tion of the bandit um well as could be
expected after several clays of rough
ing it,, following his escapo front the
two guards on tho train near this
place last Saturday. Tho fellow had
a growth of beard about three or
four days old, wore a blue sorgo coat,
slouch dark hat and corded shirt. Ills
collar was missing."
Tho man also is said to have had
gold filled teeth, which tallies with
tho description of (iardner. The
country In which tho suspect hid Is
rough and covered with brush. It
borders on the district to which Hnrry
Traeoy fled to cludo posses in Ills
escape several year ago from tho Ore
gon state penitentiary ut Salem in
which he killed several persons.
There is a fooling among members
of tho posse that Oardner is a danger
ons man and Is likely to give battle
and it Is possible that no member of
the pursuers will take any chances
with him, but will shoot at the slight
est Indication that ho is unwilling to
surrender.
