All day long the fruit men wrestled with the adoption of by-laws, and when they adjourned this afternoon their organization was com- plete, and all that remained for them to do was to elect & board of eleven direct- ors. Every section of the by-laws was lucidly discussed. While at times discus- sion waxed hot, this evening a]l the grow- ers are of the opinion that they have formed the strongest organization of its | kind on the coast. | The control of the California Fruit Growers' Assoclation will lie in a directo- rate of eleven, who will delegate their power to an executive committee of four, | comprising three directors and the presi- | dent as an ex-officio member. The presi- | dent will receive a salary of $500 and each | director $300 per month. The principal | place of business is San Jose. The direct- | ors are authorized to borrow $200,000, and this in reality will be the working capi- | tal of the association. The constitution | provides that the president and vice pres- | 1dent shall be elected by the stockholders, }nnd they and the directors shall be nom- ilnfl\rd at a convention that shall be held thirty days before the election. No prox- les are allowed, but all members may vote by mail. But one condition of organi- zation is inserted, and that is to the effect that 75 per cent of the acreage of prunes must come under control of the associa- tion before it shall be considered oper- ative. No trouble is anticipated in secur- ing control of the crop. Sixty-five per cent of the dried prunes are raised in Santa Clara County, and the other 10 per cent can beyond doubt be easlly secured throughout the State. No time will be lost in commencing operations so as to handle next year's crops. Warehouse and packing-houses will have to be er: ed and the State thoroughly canvass The association completed to-day is un- doubtedly the strongest ever formed o the coast. It is patterned after the Ralsi: Growers’ Assoclation. Judge Bond, the chairman of the convention, will probably ae offered the presidency of the associa- on. At the opening of the convention this morning the fruit men were in a merry mood over the work accomplished yester- day and they entered into the proceedings with & dash and spirit. Chairman Bond | called the convention together at 9:30. The church was crowded and the attendance was fully as large as that af the first day. Many ladies were &lso present. The consideration of the by-laws, which was up before the meeting &t the hour of adjournment, was the first matter consid- ered. F. M. Gordon of Fresno wanted the name of the assoclation changed to the California Cured Fruit Association. He received no support and the matter was dropped. The first fight over the adoption of by-laws was on the section limiting the credit that the board of directors may cre- ate to $25,000. M. Theo. Kearney stated this amount was too small to give the directors a good working capital. He moved an amendment inoreasing to $200,- 000 the indebtedness that may be incurred. G. W. Hume supported the amendment, while Mr. Rudolph opposed the increased liability. E. T. Pettit wanted to know if 75 per cent of the acreage of the prune crop would be secured bdy the association before an attempt would be made to use this larger capital. In the opinion of A. H. Naftsger of Los les 000 would be sufficlent at first. was found this would not be suffii- clent working & meeting of the Kear- ital assoclation caume called and a Chalrman Bond said Mr. s o o st aises | Association’s Control | MR Too FRESK P MR RY yP Ge et et eieteseteie@ Bpecial Dispatch to The Call ney's su e e g taken the motion proval It was decided that organization must be | eccomplished no later than April 1. It was expected & big fight would occur over the fixing of the salaries of the president and executive committee—the former of $500 per month and the mem- bers of the committee $300 per month. As soon as the section was read a delegate moved that the salaries be cut in two. The second came in the form of loud hisses and the matter was dropped. The section was unanimously adopted. There. upon J. H. Henry stated there was one question to be declded on which depended much. In order to get it before the house L4 e ffo! The Fruit Growers’ Convention as The Call Artist Saw It. he moved that the consideration of all other fruits except dried prunes be elim- inated from the articles of incorporation and the bylaws. The motion was lost. The following telegram was read to the convention: SPRINGFIELD, Mass., Jan. 14 President Frult Growers’ Conven- tion: It is hoped your convention will utter powerful protest against pending reciprocity treaties and tropical fruit trade. How disastrous that policy would be to California’s fruit, wine, nut, sugar and wool industries your delégates know full well. In warding off this danger we pledge co-operation of the League of Domestic Producers throughout the United States. Your Californian interests are identical with similar interests, also with tobacco and rice industries of other sections of this continent, and we confidently rely upon your hearty support and reciprocation of the league’s efforts in your behalf. ROBERT MYRICK, Chalrman of League of Domestic Pro- ducers. Chairman _Bond named Colone] Philo Hersey, C. W. Childs and A. R. Sprague a committee to draw up resolutions in ac- cordance with the telegram. On motion of R. W. Mantz a committes of twenty-one was appointed by the chair to make nominations for the eleven direc- tors. The committee was as follows: H. Alken, J. E. Abbott, G. C. Rodell, Judge B. G. Hurlburt, E. T. Pettit, G. B. Hyde, C. F. Freitag. James Farwell. F. M. Woods, John Robertson, Jacob Miller, R. W. Mantz, T. A. Jacobs, H. B. Stabler, F, M. Righter, E. A. Wilcox, Thomas Hardie, J. P. Dunne,_ B. Hutchinson, F. L. Gordon and A. J. Gallaway. Adjournment was then taken till 10 o'clock to-morrow. It is sald that six of the eleven directors will be selected from San Joss, as this is to be the headquarters of the assoc'ation.

The House Committee on Postoffices and Post Roads began an investigation to-day of the charges, made in a resolu- tion Introduced by r. Lentz, that the President had appointed polygamists as Postmasters in Provo and Logan, Utah. Lentz sald he had been informed that af- fidavits and protests against these ap- pointments, alleging polygamy, had been filed with the President. “Ho knows no such resolutions are on flle now,” he added, with special emphasis on the “now,” because Representative Grosvenor of Ohto had told him they are not. wards ‘00, E.
