So held an indignation meeting in the
rooms of the Ladies' Literary club yes
terday afternoon The chief topic was:
How is il a good looking man can
make us sign contracts without read
ing them?" As a supplementary topic
the members took uD: shall we pay
this money now that the good looking
man has vanished" No decision was
reached in the first; in the latter, the
sentiment was overwhelmingly: Lets

life and soul was to be devoted to the
perpetuatiOn of American art and

Utah Canning Factory Combine Went to
Smash Yesterday.

factory were all represented at the
meeting, but no agreement could be
reached, particularly as there were
many factories unrepresented; and at
the close a representative of one fac
tory gave it out that the union of in
tereSts was dissolved, and to quote an
other of the Representatives: This
season it is every man for himself
The factory people insist that this
matter has nothing to do with the con-
troversy with the farmers over the
form of contract and the price of to-
matOeS. Some time ago the combine
agreed on a, uniform contract and a
reduction of the price to be paid for to-
matoeS to 81 per ton. The Farmers
union opposed the form of contract and
the price and are still opposing them
The factory people all stated today
that they have secured plenty of con-
tracts The farmers deny this and say
that the breaking up of the combine
is a victory for them. The object is of
immediate Importance because the to-
matOes must be planted within the next
week or two.

of IT'S own weight today. There was n
meeting of representatives of the diff

effort had been made to have the
factories limit the output during the

price of the canned tomatoes.
The matter of output was the main
subject under discussion at these meet

of arranging an appOrtiOnment of the
output for each factory. This commit

meeting. The plan was not satisfactory

were directly represented.

Bill Reorganizing Board Passed by
Both Houses.

Bill Reorganizing Board Passed by
Both Houses.
Unless Governor Wells puts his foot
down or the proposition, Secretary
Groo of the state land board, will
draw a salary of $500 per year after
he is reappOinted. That he will be re-
appointed nobody seems to doubt. The
bill increasing Mr. Groo's salary from
81, 500 to $500 per year and fixing the
salaries of other members of the board
as we'll as changing it's personnel, was
batted back and forth between the SELL
ate and the house yesterday until a
conference committee was appointed
and an agreement reached.
The act originated in the senate. AS
it passed that body first it reduced
the membership of the land board by
two, one being the secretary of state,
an eX-ofiicio member who draws no
extra salary for the work, and the other
a resident member Resident MEM
ber." in the bill, means any citizen who
may be appointed by the governor to
a place on the board The senate bill
fixed the secretary's salary at 1,Se0
yearly and of the others at $1,000.
The house sent the act back yester-
day afternoon with Mr.. Groo's salary
cut down to $1,000, its present figure.
and the others raised to 81 200, the
same amount they are now drawing
The senate promptly concurred in the
figures set for the travelling member,
but refused TO agree to let Mr.. GrOo's
salary be placed at 81, 800.
Senators Smoot, Sherman and john
son were appointed as a committee to
confer with q similar committee from
the house and see if some agreement
could not be reached. In a few minutes
they returned and announced that the
house had decided to recede. The SEN
ate then passed the bill carrying the
raise for Mr. Groo and leaving the pay
of his fellow members undisturbed.
Later the house took the same action
and on Monday the bill will be en-
crossed and sent to the governor.
The board, as at present constituted,
consists of seven members, headed by
the governor. In addition to the ex-
ecutive, are the secretary of state and
five resident members, including the
secretary of the board. The law pro-
videS that not more of than four of
the present board shall be of one poIiti-
cal policy. Consequently there are three
Democrats in the resident list

consist of the governor and four resi-
dent members. Two of the latter four
will be Democrats and two Republi-
cans Thus one Democrat at least must
lose his place AS it is generally con-
coded that Mr. GroO will be one of the
Democrats named, it will be seen that
only Ole more need apply.
