BILE Growers Association.

and Other Work Discussed.

The annual meeting of the Florida
East Coast Growers Association was
held In the court house In Miami on
Wednesday of last week and was well
attended by members from all points
which are included in the membership
of the association-St. Lucie, Palm
Beach and Dade.
The sessions Of the meeting were ex-
tended and were taken up 10 the dis
cussiOns OF the work OF the association
Every one was enthusiastic over the
prospects of the association for the com.
Ing year.
Mr.. G. A. Robinson, the president of
the association, was detained at home
by sickness, as was also the vice-presi-
dent, John s. Sunday, whose wife was
Ill.
Charles G. Mast, of Boynton, was
elected temporary chairman and the
records we're kept by T. v. Moore, the
regular secretary.
The principal business of the morn
ing session was the reading Of the re-
port of A. A. Boggs, attorney for the
association. The report covered all Of
the work done the past year, and I'M
cluded the results of endeavors for bet.
ter freight rates, and matters pertain
ing to transportation.
The report was listened TO attentiyely
and at the conclusion of the reading
brought out very animated discus
sion.
In the afternoon the association took
up the matter of funds for the protec-
tion of It's members, and devised ways
and means TO continue its good work.
Officers for the ensuing year were
elected as follows:
w. A. Filler, Lemon City, president.
). s. Sunday, Delray, vice president.
I. v. Moore, Miami, secretary.
j. 81. Montgomery. Miami. treasurer.
7. ]. Peters. E. D. 7. Burr, ]. M.
Holding. directors for Dade county,
George Thomas, C. G. Mast, j. r..
Mast, directors for Palm Beach county.
Chss. Bemenderfer, c. A. Robinson,
S. w. Wells, directors for st. Lucie
county.
1t was interesting to note from the
report Of the treasurer that the ma
iorlty Of the assessments and dues had
been paid. Mr.. r. L. Goodwin, OF Fort
Pierce, was appointed committee to
call on the members who have not paid
up and secure the amounts due.
| Mr.. Filler thanked the members for
their expression of confidence and es-
teem in making him the new president.
Mr.. Moore said he did not feel like
thanking any one for putting him In
the secretary's chair for another year,
but that he would have thanked them
If they had elected some one In his
stead. Mr.. Montgomery said, ''Oh.
well, all right; I'll do the best l can
for one more year"
Growers all over the three counties
should feel, and no doubt do feel, much
indebted to these gentlemen for giving
so much OF their labor and time to the
association. They can prove their graf
itude by contributing promptly TO the
fund necessary to carry on the work
and paying their annual dues.
John Nix & Co, OF New York. sent
on check for $50 to help defray the
large expenses necessary to carry the
work on properly.
Many new members came in and paid
their dues for 1911, The association is
doing good work and their attorney,
Mr.. Boggs, received a vote OF thanks
for the good work he has accomplished.

MADE LITTLE PROMISE
Attorney General Says He Will Do
His Eest--Rates Effective To-
morrow-sherman Law
May Be Invoked.

Washington, May 80 Vigorous
representations were made to sAttor-
ney General F@ickcrsham today b.
interests representing the western
traffic line territory asking the gov
ernment to enjoin the putting into
effect af the proposed general in
,rease in freight rates June |.
II was argued that the proposed
increases are unwarranted and IN
just and the opinion II expressed
that they were the result of combi-
nation or agreement among the rail
roads in contravention of the law
Wickershan told his callers he would
10 the best he could; he declined to
outline what his course of procad-
are might be.
Wickersham listened to the repre-
sentations made by delegation OF
forty which anclude,H a committee
representative of the, meeting recent
ly held in Omaha, Neb. The com
mtee was accompanied by Senators
and members of congress from the
territory affected.
They were Senators Clapp, of Min
nesota; Cullom, of Illinois: Warner
# Missouri and representative Nye,
Minnesota; Hitchcock and Norris
Nebrasta Hubbard Of Iowa;
lodden, Of Illinois and Stafford, o.
Wisconsin.
In general way the case was first
pre ented by william u tl'aynie
counsel for the Illinois Manafaaturr
srs' Association, who presented a
memorial prepared as the resu't ef
ne Omaha meeting, II asked that
IN injunction suit he brought to pre-.
vent the increased rates from becont
ing operative until such time as the
courts could determine whether al
illegal combination existed. The In
terposition of the Sherman antitrust
aw was suggested The protastants
believing the increaie would be foil
owed by further advances.
Wckersham said the suggestion
that the sherman law be .@1toke
was a novel one He pointed out
that the delay in presenting the re-
quest for action on the part of the
government was serious handicap
although he recognized that If any
thing were to be done at all by the
administration it would have to be
under the Sherman act. So many
teps are necessary in bringing fuit
enjon that he seemed doubtful ii
,nything could be accomplished be
ore midnight tomorrow, but he fali
od to Indicate whether or not he
wounl act Immediately.
Cullom put in a word in behalf o.
he protestants. Warner thought tle
proposed increase was an attempt
of the railroads to anticipate action
by congress, and Representative
Hubbard thought the same. The
railroads were not represented at tlc
hearing.
After Haynie had presented the
memorial most of the callers with
lrew, but at the suggestion Of Wick.

of commercial clubs and traffic bu
reaus familiar with the technica
