Charges That a Portion of Its Recent Report Was Suppressed: Special Dispatch to The Call. SAN JOSE, May 24.—The growers’ comi- mittee of eleven, appointed by the Cali- fornia Cured Fruit Association to suggest | a plan of reorganization, and -the direc- tors of the association have locked horns over a report of the proposed changes. Charges have been made agalnst the di- rectors of suppressing part of the report to-further their own interests and to keep the present board in office. This is all because the growers belleve in'reducing the number of directors from elsven (o seven. At the nominating convention on May2, President Woods ruled discussion of asso- ciation affairs out of order, and the meet- ing, which was attended by a large num- ber of growers, at once resolved itselt into a conference to see what steps could be taken to perpetuate the association by making a number of changes. A commit- tee consisting of the following was ap- pointed for the %urg?se: Charles D. Bla- ney (chairman), F. H. Babb, J. O. H: E. T. Pettit, S. H. Shelley, W. H. Law- rence, F. W. Crandall, J. T. Dunn, G. L. Tarleton, Daniel Snively and E. Quesne. Several conferences were held with the directors of the assoclation, and the latter promised to send out any report the grow- ers’ committee may havé adopted. This they afterward failed to do. The commil- tee charges that the directors have not only refused to send out its side of the question to the growers, who number about 3700, but at once began to send out that portion of the changes in the by- laws which all agreed to, omitting the recommendations of the committee. As the directors are the only ones having a list of the members of the association, this left the commitee-without means of making it¢ report public. Furthermore, Chairman Blaney says that the directors agreed not to give the results of the conferences to the press until both sides could be presented at the same time, but that late last night the directors gave their report to the local press. CHANGES AGREED UPON. Both the growers' committee and the directors agreed on the following recom- mendations: First—We do not believe the assoclation can be continued in any successful manner under present by-laws and business purposes and methods, Second—We, however, do believe it can be continued as a practical working business ma- chine, and with the support of a large enough number of members to make it of great bene- | fit to the prune growers by such changes in the by-laws and business methods as would make it possible to accomplish the following results: First—That the number of directors be re- duced from eleven to seven, and all salaries (while vet limited) be placed in the control of the directors, so that all salarfes may be Im- mediately reduced by them when need re- quires or the size of the business may demand. Second—That the president and vice presi- dent be elected by -and .from the pumber of directors, so as to be in fact the executives of the buginess policy of the board. Third—That any member be allowed to vol- untarily withdraw from the association at any time on an equitable basis, thus removing one source-of antagonism, by ailowing any to with- draw who may wish to do so. * Fourth—That the directors be gllowed to borrow money on the security of the fruit, after it is actually placed in their hands, to make advances to thecontributors—a much- needed change. Fifth—That the delivery of his fruit to the association be left optional with each member, who should, however, give due motice t6 the association of his intention in advance of.crop harvest. And your committee believe that the above objects, so much desired,- may be accomplished by these amendments and changes in methods. And we do most earnestly urge every. member, whether intending to withdraw or not, to at least vote for these amendments, which in the opinion of your committee make It possible, under proper management, for this assoclation to do all the busi it was formed to do, In a practical business manner, retaining its packing plant, its brands, its selling connec- tions and the benefit of its advertising and the strong moral influence on the market and price that the union of 5o many growers has and produces, on a co-operative basis, with smail and limited individual lability for-those who remain with it, while freely allowing those to withdraw who Wwish to withdraw. CIRCULAR TO MEMBERS. The ballots which have been sent out for the-annual election, which occurs on June 4, contain the names of the old board of directors, and this latter bedy was averse to any member losing his posi- tion. The growers' committee has issued the following circular, which explains its side of the controversy, and'which con- tains the recommendations -the directors refuse to send to the members: SAN JOSE, May 23, 1902.—To th of the California Cured Frait. Assoetaries™ Gentlemen: This is a special ¢ommunication, published through the courtesy of the press of the State, to each member of the California Cured Fruit Association by the members' com- mittee of eleven, appointed at the mass-meet- ing of members of the assoclation, held im- mediately after the nominating convention, 2, 1902, to discuss and consider the af. fairs of the assoclation and fo report to the members_thereon. ‘ Your committee of eleven has just mailed you, with the copies of the proposed amend- ayes, | A rainfall rom total destruc- | ments sent out by the board of directors, ity recommendation asking that you vote for such amendments.
