MAKING COMPLAINTS.
Banana Growers Have Grievances
Against United Fruit Co.

New York. Nov. 2s.-Thc Journal of
Commerce says: a conference has Deen
held between the committee representing
independent banana growers of Nicara-
gu. and j. Iamotte Morgan and others
10 discuss plans for relief from alleged
unjust treatment by the United Fruit Co.
The committee consists Of s. W. Seton
and Frank Turner of Rama. Bltefclds
River Nicaragua. Mr.. Morgan formerly
Of Birmingham, Ala. but now of this
city was identified with the sale of the
company Of Nicaraguan interests at the
time il was formed He is at present in
terested in a movement which may result
in the establishment of direct steam
ship line from Nicaragua Independent of
the company The attendance at the
meeting was small and no final action
was taken.
The complaints made against the
United Fruit Co or its distributors, the
Fruit Dispatch Co.. are, among others:
That the company has gradually In
creased prices until they are from 80 to
70 per cent. higher than when the COM
pany secured practical control Of the
trade.
That the prices are so high that jobbcrs
cannot handle the fruit without loss.
That the dealers are Obliged 10 sign
contracts which. while binding on them.
are not binding on the company.
That jobbers seldom know the price Of
the fruit antii they get the bills.
That the company has reduced importa-
tons until the supply is not sufficient 10
meet the demand.
one Of those present at the meeting
SaId that the committee had been APP
preached by New York representatives of
financial interests in London to establish
Il direct steamship service independent
of the United Fruit Co, from Nicaragua
to this or other American ports. No defi-
mite decision has been arrived at, how
ever. il is SAID. since the capitalists wish
first to consult their London house.
\ rather interesting feature in connec-
tion with the conference is that although
the Nicara guam committee came osten-
sibiy to consult with the Western Banana
Jobbers Association, no members of that
association were present and this part OF
the committees program seems 10 have
