COMMISSION MEN
ROB GROWERS

with the agricultural department at
Washington have made all inyestiga-
tion into the methods OF commission
men who handle fruit and 1t Is said
that these investigations lay bare the
fact that the following Illegal prac-
tices are going on among this class
OF dealers and 1t is hoped that the
organization OF a fruit growers uni
on in the Rogue River valley will
put a stop to these practices as far
as our fruits are concerned
First--The account sales do not
always give the actual price received,
nor do they tell where such fruit was
sold In other words, the statements
sent out to the producer are false as
to price and destination.
Second-The condition OF the fruit
on arrival at destination is often mis-
represented so as to further lower
Rebating is practlced so as
to secure a certain few growers who
may be representative, and by this
means other growers sell at the low
figure offered. The growers who en-
ter into this nefarious contract with
certain shippers act their part by
showing satisfaction with prevailing
low prices. At the end Of the season
the shipper pays the rebate to these
confederates In cash.
Fourth-In the dried fruit busi-
ness, such as apricots. peaches, etc,
the grower Is forced to bring his pro-
ducts into market bone dry If they
do not come up to this requirement,
the fruit is rejected. The bone dry
fruit Is then soaked with water and
finally resulphured This Is what IS
technically Eaown as processing, 4"
The difference between the dry pro-
duct ara the processed article is
water and II2SO4, which is practi-
cally all profit. legitimate amount
Of water should be the growers
profit.
Fifth-The grower is forced by
many shippers to pack only in boxes
with the company's stencil on 1t.
Fruit otherwise packed Is not ac-
cepted. In this way the company or
buyer may charge what he sees fit
for the package. In many localities
the buyers control the prices on all
sorts of spray materials as well as
spray outfits, so that the grower Is
completely at their mercy.
The conditions existing under
paragraphs | and have been lnves-
tigated by certain growers enclosing
post cards In the packages. The
card Is self addressed, and asks the
following pertinent questions
n) Where was this fruit received? ?
(2) When was II received?
CD What was its condition?
(d) What was the price paid?
(5) Were you satisfied with Il?
The average of 10 per cent of
these cards have been returned, many
indicating that the time of arrival,
place and condition did not agree
with the account sales rendered.
In commenting on this report a
prominent bureau official says:
There Is something fundamental
ly wrong where the producer, after
spending n year in getting crop
and taking all risks. realizes on an
average less than one-thlrd OF what
the crop or crops he grows sells for
at retail

the Ca pitalists have 1t their power, to
hire the men who could do much to-
wards solving it, If they would. They
know a good many things about bust
ness affairs that the workingman
doesn't know, but which he must
know If he's to give the world a fair
solution of the wage question.
A living wage doesn't mean exactly
the same thing to any two men. My
living wage" wouldn't satisfy the
superior" nor the old man, because
they've a higher standard than I
have. For some men to 'llve' means
summer homes and European trips,
besides lot Of other stuff that some
of my friends don't care rap about.
TO others, it means simply bread and
meat, rent and fuel, clothes and the
barest necessities of life. We're get
ting beyond the latter definition Of the
term, because the great mass of work
Ing people are getting to have high
er standards. After all, Giving
wage Is largely a matter Of taste and
disposition. It means the securing OF
that which will satisfy the cravings
OF the sOua the mind and the body
~ N~~SAA AAA>l1R1uOdl 11hA ucIc1OI0
there is no specific amount that can
De set down as a Giving wage" and
with which all men must be satisfied.
BY the time a man gets to the point
which he once considered just about
right, he finds that his ideal has ad-
vanced way beyond his old standard,
and he finds himself pushing on as
hard as ever towards even higher and
better things. That's why our BUSH
ness agent couldn't promise that we'd
be satisfied with the next raise in our
wages, and that's why, in a year from
now, We shall probably be after still
better wages-provided that we get
the raise that we are now after
It's because, I believe all this that I
would not hinder the old man or any
other boss from making all the money
that he can, and spending it exactly
as he pleases, provided, Of course, that
ne makes it honestly, and gives me a
chance to make all I can, and that I
get my share of united enterprise.

LETTERS FROM
A NORWEGIAN

The old man asked our business
agent one day: ''How much wages
would satisfy you, anyway? If I
should give you the advance that you
are asking. you'd come around again
in a little while asking for more"
The walking delegate didn't deny
it, and he was right. Perhaps you've
noticed that as a rule the worst
strikes are engaged in not by the men
working for the lowest wages, but by
those who are getting the biggest
money. There Is no particular point
at which We'll promise to stop asking
for more, because that sort of thing
is too mechanical. Wages don't rep
resent fixed value. If they did, that
would help. There are men in New
York getting three dollars day, while
in the west the same men could get
four for the same amount and kind OF
work. The cost of living makes some
difference, but the method of living
has also a whole lot to do with IT..
We live very much better, in some
ways, than our forefathers did. Some
Of us have organs and pianos In our
homes, and some other things which
been luxuries not many years ago. 1t
Is not a question, however, as to
whether or not we are living better
than the folks who were satisfied with
less, hundred years ago. The world
has moved along since those days, and
we're going to keep up with the pro-
cession, if we can.
While American workingmen pro-
duce more than the workingmen Of
other countries, and while they re-
ceive higher wages, they are actually
paid less in proportion to what they
produce, than is paid these working
men in foreign lands. At any rate.
that's what United States government
reports tell us.
1t isn't up to the workingman. par
ticularly, to lay out a scheme that
will solve the wage question: He may
be compelled to do it, some day, but
