found that 100000 feet of this supply had

The public learned at the time how

how they failed because the New City

District Attorneys office to get wit

them corraIed in one of the court de-
partments they were permitted to escape
before they could be got on the stand.
Finally Foreman Hecht in disgust
arose, claimed the privilege of a state

the industry and have failed. They
will remember that by mere chance
they have succeeded IN securing a
board of directors who through all the
many difficulties of the situation have
shown that they are possessed of the
ability to make a success of the move
ment, and they will learn through bit
ter experience as in the past that they
have made a grave mistake in not TAX
ing advantage of the ability and ex-
perience of these men to organize the
association for two years more"
The meeting as announced is called
to give the growers an opportunity to
be heard upon the resignation of the
board of directors as a committee on
reorganization and upon the cancelIa-
ton of the contracts already secured in
the event that rs per cent of the crop
is not signed for by March /.

DIRECTORS ARE
READY TO QUIT
Failure of State RaiSin
Com bine.
Special Dispatch to The Call.

FRESNO. Feb. 16.-At a special meet
ing to-day of the directors of the Call
fornia Raising Growers Association a
startling address to raisfn growers was
issued and Endorsed and ordered mailed
to every grower in the State In the
combine. 1t will be an unwelcome sur
prise to the community and partlcu-
larly to those interested in the raisin
industry.
The circular calls for a mass-meet-
ing of the raisin growers for 10 o'clock
on the morning of March 1 at Armory
Hall. The directors will resign from
office then, conceding that the attempt
to combine this year is a failure and
that all contracts already secured will
be Cancelled then. March 1 is the time
fixed when rs per cent of the acreage
should be secured to make possible the
combine. Despite the active canvass
made for two months through the
newspapers and by the directors at
various meetings in the adjoining coun-
ties, there has been secured less than
one-third of the $4,000 acres that the
association should have and there is no
hope apparently of securingN one-haff
of the acreage, much less 70 per cent.
by March 1, which is only TWO weeks
off.
The causes for this apathy among
the growers is discussed in the circu-
lar and the conclusion is reached:
There is just one reason why these
contracts have not been signed and
that is that more than half of all the
growers want to stay on the outside
and let others make a market for
them"
The circular concludes: THE raisin
growers will remember when it is too
late that for four years they have tried
TO form combines for the salvation of
