Defends Consumer.

George Rudd, manager OF the Wasatcr
ma rket, took the part of consumers
aging:
Our customers are certainly getting
the worst of the deal We would
rather give them larger cups, so that
they would get a fair return for their
money Consumers are constantly
complaining. and we feel that they
are right about IT. but the ordinance
is there and the growers take ad
vantage CT ir. We have figured that
the consumer is getting i3 per cent
the worst OF the deal
S. Sanders, manager of the Union Pro-
duce company, likes neither the new or
dinance nor the methods of Inspector
Farr. He said:
The customer is getting altogether
the worst Of It. He has been buying
berries this year in pint cups and
paying the same price as he did las
year for short quart cups. The pub
lie is actually being swindled
through the new ordinance. and the
farmer is getting the best Of the
sWndle.

Farr System Wrong.

This is the result OF too much Of
ficlous interference, and 1t works
upon the berry consumer a hardship
similar TO that imposed upon retail
ers by Mr.. Fairs farcical scale In
nations. The ordinance is wrong
and the Farr system is wrong.
l.. NJ Carpenter, proprietor OF the gro
ccries and fruit department OF Wood
market, showed up the Injustice in
new light by saying:
Before Utah berries came on the
market this year we could not get
the fruit from California and Oregon
growers in the new cups unless we
paid the same price as for the large
cups. The growers said that they
had ample market room for their
berries in the old cups and crates
elsewhere without going TO the eX-
pense, of making new cups and new
crates fer Salt Lake

Favorable To Ogden.

The result was that Ogden dealers
were paying about 81 a crate for
fifteen cups. while we in Salt Lake
were compelled to pay 81 crate for
fifteen pint cups.
l.. w. Greenig, manager OF the fruit
department Of the Success market said
This year the consumer is getting
n crate OF fifteen pint cups. or seven
and one-half plnts. for the same
money that he paid last year for
crate Of fifteen short quart cups, or
about twelve quarts To the crate.

1t and the farmers are getting the
best OF II. because the latter charge
practically the same price for the
new small cup as they did for the old
large cup. In fact the farmers not
only admit this, but they rather glory
in 1t; and when complaint Is made
they blandly declare that they can't
help themselves because they are
forced by city ordinance TO use the
new cup.
Formerly the customer got more
than two thirds of q quart OF ber-
ries, while now he receives but one
pint-for the same money. 1t makes
a great difference in a large family
where berries are used on the table
two or three times a week. In fact,
1t means about 30 per cent increase
in expenditure over last year

the berry growers regard the new ordi-
nance in considerable esteem, He said:
A berry grower told me that the
new berry box ordinance in Salt Lake
is the best thing that ever happened
for the farmer. He said that he was
getting a big price for fewer berries,
even though ne put two pounds over
weight in each crate as sort of
conscience contribution TO the public
He said that he was making money
fast with that liberal allowance in

concerned only with his own welfare,
