UOOQSell Of FrUlt AUCllOn Co. of, New York Gives In teresting , Talk ., to Local Growers One Way Sale Is Advocated. ' E. L. Ooodsell of New York city, manager of the foreign freight and brokerage departments of the Fruit Auction company delivered a very in teresting and Instructive address on marketing problems at the library this afternoon. He said in part: ' With a smaller eastern crop of ap ples this season, that Medford apples and pears have sold for un remunera tive prices makes tt desirable to seek the causes for such conditions. As a close student of marketing problems, I offer my solution of low prices to Medford fruit growers. Ap ples generally do not arrive In good condition In the New York markets. By this I mean with flavor and keep ing qualities unimpaired. 'Therefore, the first Important phase of the apple grower marketing profitably his crop, la efficient transportation.' ' The present constructed refrigerator cars can be vastly Improved. Better insulation, b using cork Instead of waste treated with chemical or other substitute) would afford protection against freezing In going through "cold waves," and also against heating when warm weather prevails. A stable temperature would be maintained, ery different from the 30 degrees var iation, now common, during transit. A double valve on the waste pipes would prevent the entrance of outside air. Always an advocate of using steam ships for carrying western fruits to eastern seaboard markets as well as to Europe, I urge ail interested to c operate In establishing this service. The only type of steamer which will carry all fruit products 100 per cent efficiently hag not yet been built, ex cept fcy the United Fruit Co. As the latter use their steamers for their banana conynerc, it is obvious that the needed steamers must be built This can be brought about by guaran teeing to ship builders a sufficient ton nage for a period of years, at an agreed freight rate, or all coast inter ests, banking, commercial and produc ing could subscribe the necessary cap ital, - construct and operate the line. My contention that as the prosperity of each Pacific coast state i8 vital to the banks and merchants of the state and as the soil produces that wealth, that the problem of waterway trans portation is a personal one with each and every commercial interest in each producing state of the Pacific coast 8teamers of the type which supply dry cold air In every chamber and equipped to keep that air pure, assure , the apple growers a fair return on the investments, in respect to transporta tion. ' Unsound apples at destination, whe ther caused by heat or cold, mean heavy losses to the producer. The history of marketing for many years past has been, a large proportion of the receipts does not arrive "commer- ARE EXPLAINED ;; BEW SHOW T0DAYlr opeeo uvjg A story of love and racing curs, and a dare devil '.;!! driver, who proved a fast worker in both.

ThU moon, In a non keeping condition bo far a the con sumer is concerned. Hence to continue old method is to invite disaster. Kach interested section " should co operate with the local traffic associa tion which in turn nhould Join with the Coast Association headed by Mr. Whit comb, president, who is als vice prcal dent of the California Fruit Growers Exrhunge and adopt their policy of action. Marketing northwestern apples, so ,far as New York Is concerned as con- ducted at present is inviting low prices. Tart ar sold at private sale land part at auction. This means ap ples are uaed to compete with apples in effecting sale, to the producer's loss. Apples should all be sold one way or the other, not both ways. Ship pers can control this by their instruc tions. As all bananas and California decid uous fruit and oranges sold in New York are disponed of at auction, and to the satisfaction of the Importers and growers, it would appear that all applfs. the nest important fruit ton nage on the market, should be sold at auction. Certatnly If the United Fruit Co.. the California Fruit Growers Exchange and the various organizations of decid uous fruits, all of which are prosperous and probably the most successfully conducted marketing companies in the world use the New Y'ork Auction, apple shippers con safely follow such leaders. The result of an experiment in ship ping a cargo of Spanish grapes by a United Fruit Refrigerator steamer In October last which I was enabled to make by courtesy of the United Fruit Co., will interest apple shippers. This cargo sold for about $1.50 average per barrel higher than any other cargo of which there were about 15. The grapes. arrived unheated and practically sound. Buyers in consequence were led to speculate and pay this great dif ference in price. I believe under the same conditions apples would show the same results, as buyers would have confidence to buy and hold, which is not now the case. The importance of growers loyally sustaining the organizations they mar ket through cannot be underestimated. A grower who receives poor results frequently criticises either the man ager of his organization or his market ing agency. There is no question aa to 'W""K iupny engages in ais- - tribution using his best efforts and - expenence and knowledge to pay the grower all it Is possible to .obtain. If condition of the'product on arrival, or the market is low because of other conditions, to blame the distributor is very unjust Medford pear growers should every effort to determine why Oregon Harriett pears cut black at the core.'!,, ihrnurh kind or constraint and That they do is the explanation why accepted against our own wishes," he Callfornias sell higher.

UNITED MINERS READY TO JOIN R. ROAD LABOR , j ji i ii i-assBassassSB INDIANAPOLIS, lnd., Feb. 1 The United.. Mine Workers of Amer ica are willing - to "unreservedly pool their Interests with the railway organizations and stand with them In resistance to the proposed attacks upon their wage schedules," John L. Lewis, International president ot the miners, declared in a statement to day. The statement was made along with the announcement that invita tions to participate In a meeting with the miners had lnen sent to of ficers of the 16 major organizations ot railroad workers. Ir. Lewis declared the ratirad workers have been "compelled to ac cept Inequitable wage reductions," and asserted propaganda now la be ing conducted on a gigantic scale to enforce further "unwarranted wage cuta upon them." No dato or place was suggested for holding the meeting.

Before adjournment Dr. Sze, head of the Chinese, delegation, expressed the gratification ot China over . Air. Balfour's promise that Grout ilritaln would relinquish Wei-Hai-Wel. Meetings of the Chinese Eastern railway sub-committee and the Far Eastern committee were called tor later today. After Secretary Hughes concluded, M. Sarraut be (ran a speech in French, saying adhesion of France to the naval armament treaty is "sincere and confident.' "There are still mists hanging around and perhaps there may be some darkness left In which doubt. .krpUclam and after-thoughts may rtm be obscurely lurking." Mr. tSar- raut ' said. "And this la precisely what should not be.

Secretary Hughes, In closing said that no more necessary or significant treaty probably had ever been negoti ated. Obviously it means an enormous saving of money," be said, "and the lifting of very heavy burdens from the people. . "This treaty absolutely ends the race In naval competition. At the same time it leaves the security of the pow ers unimpaired, but it means mom. The best thing Is the spirit manifested by which we were able to reach this conclusion. 'We are taking the greatest forward step to establiah the reign of peace," The Shantung treaty between China and Japan, consisting of eleven artl cles in addition to a number of an nexes, provides for return by Japan to China of the territory and property in Shantung, as reported previously In Associated Press dispatches. The Japanese agreed to turn over the Shantung railway at a valuation of 53,000,000 gold marks, plus Japanese expenditures for permanent Improve. ments, with allowances for deprecla tion, in return for Chinese treasury notes running 15 years, but redeem able within five years at the option of China.
