CITRUS UNION WITHDRAWALS
STIR COMPETITION
Seeding Firms Expect to Form New
Observation-Disclosures Being
Made to Certain Agents
by Trumvirate

AS a result of the withdrawal of three
concerns from the California Citrus
union, announcement of which was
made in The Herald yesterday. it is
probable that new competitor will
enter the citrus fruit shipping field.
1t is said that the Fay Fruit COM
pany, the Earl Fruit company and A.
Gregory, the seeding concerns will
unite and form new organization.
1t is understood that they own more
than so per cent of the stock in the Cit
run union and that arrangements for
taking over their holdings by the re-
naming firms are now being made.
The California Citrust union will con-
tinue business at it's present head
quarters and it is expected that F. C.
Wintrode, at present second vice
president will be elected president of
the reorganized concern.
The retirement of the three con-
Germs named becomes effective Septem
Der 1. but already the effects of their
competition are said to be felt.
1t is claimed that overtures have
been made to the agents of the Citrus
union at several of the important ship
ping points with view to winning
them over to the new organization, but
it is claimed that so far their efforts
have been unavaiing.
The California Citrus union is an
offshoot of the old California Fruit
agency, which was dissolved about two
years ago.
In that agency the present California
Fruit Gromers' exchange was allied
with the Earl. Fay, Gregory, Ruddock
G. Trench and other big shipping con-
Germs. but the exchange managers
brought about separation in order to
form a combination strictly of grow
ers.
The retiring concerns claim to con-
troll about 75 per cent of the business
which has come to the Citrus union in
the last year.
Their competition with the union
next year is likely to be sharp, and the
fruit growers of Southern California
are expecting to reap a material bene-
fit from it.
