always bceu it u advocate of securing a
just recognition of Oregon prciiuets.
One of the first resolutions read to
the Rwwcintion was tltst of the action
taken last evening by the directors of
the Balcui Fruit L'nion, where in a reso

stockholders, at a meeting to te h'ld i
the near future.
Professor C. I. I.ewia of the 0. A. C

growers that he had looked into to fi
nancing of the association both us a
banker and as a grower and thut he
was thoroughly satisfied with the meth
ods proposed by the association, feeling
that it would be for the good of ull
Oregon interests. He warned the iow
era who had been' told not to join the
association, to do some investigating on
their own part and to find out why
tertaia interests were opposed to tho
association that was organized to pro
mote Oregon ' interests.
J. F. l.augner spoke of the necessity
of publicity, giving reasons why Ongou
products should go out of the ataie un
der Oregon labels. He told how the
msociation eould control the di:,tribu

LOGANBERRY SUITS
STILE W IN Alii
Two Cases Taken Under Ad
visement And Third Is
Continued.
Judge George O, Bingham and Judge
Percy Kelly before whom the three
logauberry suits were argued yesterday
have taken under advisement two of
tire cases and the third was cot.tiuued
at the request of the attorneys of the
I'hox company.
A demurrer was filed by 77 of the
growers to the originnl suit of the Phet
company against the Halem Fruit Un
ion und its growers, in which the Plicr.
eompany asked that the Union Mid
growers be temporarily enjoined trow.
delivering any lognus except to the
Phei couipuny. When the case first
came before the court, Judge Bingham
granted the temporary injunction unked
far against the tiuou. ,
This required the l'nion to deliver
any louans it received to the J'hea. com
pnny r. ul to refrain from advising its
giowera not to deliver to the Muon.
The injunction grunted did not in any
way interfere with the growers nicking
disposition of their berries. Tiie argu
ment Friday was a legal matter on the
merits of the case in which the grow
ers demurrer to the original complaint
of the Phe company. The hnlein Fruit
Union also entered a sepnrntc demurrer
Uithe complaint.
In tho case of Louis Laclunund, J. U.
I. ina and H. M. Kudicott, toc kliolilers
in tho Halem Fruit Union, who sued the
Union to compel it to deliver berries to
the Phet company and to also force the
Union to compel its growers to deliver,
the matter from a legal standpoint was
argued and taken under advisement.
There is some.legal question as to wlieth
or a stockholder can ne himself.
The third case in which tho Phei
company asks tho court that the offi
cers und malinger of the Halem Fruit
Union be declared in contempt ol court
for not paying a lor.d check of one of
its growers for berries delivered to the
Phes agent at Hilverton, was continued
at the request of the attorneys for the
Phei: company.
There is one other suit to be tiled
before Judge Kelly. This ia the claim
of the Union against the Phei company
for 4063 which the Union alleges is due

which should have been paid according
to agreement, January 1, 191l. This
amount the Unioa alleges the Phei com

Anti-League Senators Plan to

With Conferences
By L.C. Martin
(United Press Staff Correspondent)
Washington, July 12.An attempt to prevent Tresi
the league of nations, by keeping him in daily attendance
with meetings of the senate foreign relations committee,
dent Wilson making his cross country tour in behalf of
was being discussed today by league opponents in con
gress.
8enntor Moses, New Hampshire, a
new republican member'of the commit
tee, said today he plans to offer a reso
lution in the Committee Monday invlt
ing President Wilson to attend the es
sions of that bodv. bceinninii r.t a. m.!"'" wasiiington or summer nom
ench day while the peace treaty U uving
uiseuescd.
"I think the president could more
effectively serve his country iu this way
than by making stump speeche through
out the nation," snld Moses.
President Wilson has already e
pressed a willingnessto ivc ml irjforma
tion possible to tho committee. "
Conferences Possible.
Other republienn members said today
they favored having Wilson meet the
committee to inform it fully on treaty
provisions aoout which there is ontro
versey or doubt. Borah said lie would
vote for a resolution itu'iting Wilson
to appear.'
Many democrats also would like to
see the president's offer of his services,
made in his speech to the senate, rc
cepted at once.
The view genorally taken waa that
the committee cannot refuse to invito
the president to appeur iu mow of his
clearly expressed desire to do so. If he
should refuse, no cluim eould ever be
made that the senate was forced to act
on the treaty without proper informar
lion from the president, it w,is pointed
out.
However, Wilson's friends wnnt him
to attend only a few sessions.
Bwanson May Lead.
