CoLoMA, April 6th.-At meeting of the
Coloma fruit-growers. April Sd, the follow
ing resolutions were adopted without dis
senting voice:
WHEREAS, Many of the public press have seen
fit to censure in unmeasured terms the act of the
Trustees of the California Fruit Union in select
ing Porter Bros. as the Eastern agents for said
Union; and whereas, certain so-called Fruit
Growers Associations, composed to a very great
extent, OF shippers, have in their deliberations
denounced the said Trustees as little less than
scala gags and recreants therefore be il .
ResoLted That we, the members of the Coloma
Fruit Union, composed of stockholders in said
State Union, recognize the fact that owing to
the non-interest evinced by nearly three-fourths
OF the growers of the State in coming forward
to the assistance of the State Union they have
crippled financially the Trustees in placing the
said State Union in the position originally in
tended.
Resolued, That under the circumstances. we
heartily approve and commend the act of the
Trustees OF the State Union in appointing said
Porter Brothers as their Eastern agents
Resotued, That we express the utmost conf
denee in the honesty, ability and integrity of
the Trustees of said California Fruit Union and
that we give them our hearty and unqualified
support, so long as they prove themselves wor-
thy, which at present we believe them to be.
