FRUIT GROWERS' MEETING Adopt Resolutions Demanding that Congress Pass an Act Regulating Interstate Commerce. A meeting of Orange county fruit growers was held at Santa Ana on Saturday for the purpose of discussing the recent decision of the United States supreme court in the case of the growers against the railroads. S. J. Beals of Orange was elected chairman and A. D. Bishop secretary. Delegates to the convention of growers of Southern California held at the chamber of commerce in Los Angeles the same day were elected as follows: C. C. Chapman, Placentia; S. J. Beals, Orange; Dr. W. R. Wall, Tustin; Otto Rust, Anaheim; A. D. Bishop, Orange. The committee on resolutions presented the following, which were adopted unanimously: At a meeting of the citrus fruit growers of Orange county, California, held in the city of Santa Ana, in said county and state on the 10th day of March 1906, it was unanimously Resolved, That, whereas, by various decisions of the supreme court of the United States, rendered from time to time (the latest being the decision of February 24, 1906, denying to shippers the right of control over the routing of their freight on railways engaged in interstate commerce), the Interstate Commerce act has been rendered practically valueless and of no effect for the protection of the business interests of the country, and Resolved, That, whereas, by various decisions of the supreme court of the United States, rendered from time to time (the latest being the decision of February 24, 1906, denying to shippers the right of control over the routing of their freight on railways engaged in interstate commerce,) the Interstate Commerce act has been rendered practically valueless and of no effect for the protection of the business interests of the country, and Whereas, it is of vital importance to all sections of the country and particularly to the growers of citrus fruits on the Pacific Coast far removed as they are from the great markets of the country, that laws shall be immediately enacted that will afford to shippers of freight on interstate lines of railway, full, efficient and constitutional protection of their rights, under the natural laws of trade and the constitution of the United States; therefore, be it Resolved, By the citrus fruit growers of Orange county, California, in mass meeting assembled, that, we demand of congress at its present session, the passage of an act for the regulation of interstate commerce, that will effectually protect the rights of shippers of freight on all lines of railway engaged in interstate commerce. Substantially as follows: First—That the act shall be so drawn as to be of undoubted constitutionality and so that it must and will be so held by the supreme court of the United States. Second—That the Interstate Commerce commission or some commission or committee established by congress, shall be given full power to declare a rate of freight to be excessive and unreasonable rate in lieu thereof, such new rate so established to go into practically immediate effect and to remain in full force until it shall be declared unreasonable and set aside by some United States court of competent jurisdiction. Third—That the right of all shippers of freight on interstate lines of railway to specify and direct the route over which such freight shall pass between termini and over the whole line and all parts of the same shall be absolute and complete at all times. Fourth—That all corporations or in- unreasonable and set aside by some United States court of competent jurisdiction. Third—That the right of all shippers of freight on interstate lines of railway to specify and direct the route over which such freight shall pass between termini and over the whole line and all parts of the same shall be absolute and complete at all times. Fourth—That all corporations or individuals owning or operating freight cars engaged in the transportation of interstate commerce shall be declared to be common carriers and shall be subject to all the provisions of all acts of Congress in relation to railways engaged in interstate commerce. Fifth—That is shall be declared to be the duty of all railways engaged in interstate commerce to furnish all refrigerator and other special cars necessary for the proper transportation of perishable freight without additional charges and to furnish for safe and proper transportation of such perishable freight all ice and other necessary supplies at actual cost for the same, such actual cost to be shown by sworn itemized statements from time to time as may be required. Sixth—That suit may be brought against any railway or through line of railways engaged in interstate commerce in the District Court of the United States in any district through which such line of railway may run, at the election of the person bringing such suit; that we most urgently request the senators and representatives from the State of California, to endeavor by every proper means to procure the passage of such an act.

Local men, after an investigation of several months are the promoters of this enterprise. The company is capitalized for $100,000. One-fourth of the stock has already been subscribed, and the $20,000 necessary for construction of the cannery and box and can factory has been laid aside. W. T. Newland and J. F. Corbett are among the chief promoters. M. R. Frie has been engaged to take charge of the equipment and management of the plant. He has been in the canning and pickling business for thirty-five years, and for eighteen years was associated with the Heintz concern. Horseradish is being shipped in from Missouri, and costs the pickle company 7 cents per pound. This vegetable can be raised here at the rate of from fifteen to twenty-five tons per acre, and Mr. Frie is responsible for the statement that this half tropical climate will produce a better article than it is possible to raise in the east. Thirty thousand dollars will be laid aside to pay for the vegetables that will go into the cannery on the start. Cash is to be paid for truck delivered at the plant. To begin with, a force of 100 men will be employed in the factory. Large shipments of seeds have been ordered by the company, which believes that at the start it will be a difficult matter to turn the mind of the grower from the beaten paths and interest him in the cultivation of vegetables aside from beets, celery and potatoes. Many varieties of vegetables will be started, including cabbage, cauliflower, cucumbers, horseradish, tomatoes, onions and asparagus.
