FIGHT AGAINST AP-
PIE BOX BILL
REPRESENTATIVE POINDEXTER
AND l.. G. MONROE ADDRESS
HOUSE COMMITTEE - OBJECT
TO LAFEAN BILL.

Washington, March 12.--Thursday
afternoon Representative Poindexter
and Secretary Monroe of the Spokane
Chamber of Commerce addressed
the house agricultural committee in
opposition to the Lafean apple box
bill. They pointed out that this bill
calls for a box slightly larger than
that now uniformly used in Wash
ington and other northwestern states,
and If passed it would cause apple
growers of that section to pack in
boxes not adapted to their fruit.
They argued that there is no COM
plant about the manner in which
the northwestern apples are now mar
keted and that to require a change
would put Washington growers at
distinct disadvantage without in any
way helping consumers.
Supporters of the bill have as yet
failed to make any presentation of
a case which justifies favorable re-
port on the Lafean bill, and 1t is
doubtful il the bill will be passed.
