The morning session then adjourned.
Afternoon Session.
The meeting was called to order by
Mr.. Chamblin sh ,rtly after O'Clock,
and after few remarks the discussion
Of the report previous to adoption was
held.
The report was presented clause by
clause, thus giving the delegates pres
ent an opportunity either to amend or
pass az originally presented.
The three first sections we're passed
without suy discussion, but the one in
relation to this establishment and calling
Of the central Office for each district was
amended, the clause in the latter part
''or as often asthey may determine" be-
ing added.
Some brief discussion took place over
the adoption OF the next clause, which
treated OF the Office OF secretary in
charge Of the correspondence of the
district. The discussion arose, however,
through misapprehension of the true
nature Of the section, and after Mr..
Charblin OK planned its purpose, it was
passed unanimously. He stated that
the aecfetvry was responsible to the dis
trict bosrd of exchange and continued
in Office during the season. He is
simply diainterested employee and the
Office is central point where is kept q
racord of all the business done by the
district.
The managers have access to all tele-
grams and various communications re-
ceived and every day can follow all that
il being done. BY this method it is
impossible for one association to obtain
the advantage over the others in the
district. Each association in addition
keeps its own books and records of its
trapsactions.
In reply to question Mr.. Chamblin
said that when the orders for fruit were
received by this central Office the man.
agers throughout the district were sum.
monsd and pro rated the orders.
The nextssecti0n NaA passed
1t was-on the sixth section in regard
to the appointment OF the executive
board that the liveliest discussions ,ct the
day took place. The point that was as
sailed was upon Atheif Being appointed
from the board OF fmanagers. SO ssedo
Mr.. Storey moved to amend the clause
60 that instead OF the executive bbard
being selected blythe board of exchange
and from the board of managers, it be
selected by the board Of exchange.
DR.. Nisbet differed from Mr.. Storey.
The doctor thought that it would be
giving the board of managers too much
power and that the executive board
should be selected by the board of di-
| reCt0rH.
Mr.. Collins replied to the effect that
he differed from both of these views.
The managers were the active men in
conducting the business and we're better
qualified for the position on the execu-
tive board. "a
Mr.. Chamblin spoke in favor of the
section az it read. He stated that the
managers were the active men in the
trade. The executive board was not to
meet for the purpose OF settling rates
for the associations, nor did the differ
ent managers 60 for any association
business. but only to represent their
districts. The object in creating the
executive board was to create . balance
Ct power. By appointing from the
board Of managers 1t would also abolish
the necessity OF any special salaried
Offices. a
Mr.. Story then Withdrew his amend
ment, but this did not satisfy the
majority. A number of suggestions
were offered but the matter finally
shaped itself into another amendment
being offered by Mr.. Carson, that the
executive board be simply appointed by
the boards of exchange.
Mr.. Garson's amendment was then
put and carried by good majority.
When the result was known Mr..
Collins stated that the action would be
regretted.
Mr.. Chamblin also voted against the
amendment, as did Mr.. Holmes OF Riv-
erside
DR.. Nisbet next arose and moved for q
reconsideration of the vote. He stated
that the gentlemen who had given the
most thought to the matter had voted
against the amendment. He was will
ing to give full consideration to their
views and to abide by them.
Mr.. Rogers of Anaheim moved that
the original clause as printed above be
adopted, which was done.
In regard to the section applying to
the voting power OF members OF the ex-
ecutive board, Mr.. McFadden moved to
amend 80 that they would have but one
vote apiece. He thought that Riverside
would be given too much power.
Mr.. Collins of Ontario replied that If
Riverside shipped oue-5hird Of the
oranges che should certainly be given
one-third Of the vote in that body.
On the vote Mr.. McFadden'e amend
ment was lost.
The next few sections were passed,
but some discussion arose as to the one
in relation to the branch houses in the
east.
Mr.. Chamblin oveicame the opposition
by an eloquent presentation Of the pres
ent condition of the orange orchards.
He said that the market was parAlyzed
and the condition must be ren16died.
The prosperity Of this section hinged
