POMONA, Oct.3.-The Pom ona fruit ex-
change held its annual meeting in the
board of trade rooms yesterday afternoon
and completed its labors today. There
was large attendance of the mem ebrs.
The meeting was addressed by Thomas
Morehose, the New York representative
Of the Southern California fruit ex-
changes, P. E. Platt. the Chicago repre-
sentative, L. II. B. Cham bin of River
side and Secretary Collins of Pomona.
Several of s.the changes that have been
advocated by the newspapers were favor
ed. .-One was that hereafter fumlgated
fruit sand washed fruit should not be
shipped together. but each class should
stand alone and be sold on its merits;
another that the exchanges must sell
their fruit in the east and not here. To
do SO it will be necessary for them to es-
tablish distributing houses there and put
some of the best sales agents in the field
that can be had.
The Progress in its report of the pro-
Ueedings says: The claim that some
outsiders received more for their fruit
than members of the exchange was we'll
answered by the question, "H ow many
outsiders received less?" 1t is we'll
known that many who sold outside of the
exchanges got less than exchange prices !;
only few of them will own up to what
they received and some are now engaged
in law suits to get what belongs to them.
No evidence has ever been offered that
those who sold outside of the exchanges
received more than the mem bers OF those
organizations. and few-if any-believe
chat such is The case. The co-operative
plan OF marketing the orange crop is I'M
qIestionably the proper one; and what
ever changes are necessary in the ex-
changes to put them on an equitable
basis of organization and enable them to
do business on the best business pr!nci-
pies should be ADOPTED.
The following board Of directors we're

t. Brady, James Beckett, i. W. Ohm

and M. q. Allen were re elected to repre-
sent the executive board of the San An
