BERRY MEN CONSP|RE
TO EVADE QUART LAW
Growers, Says w. E. Farr,
Make Definite Move to Use
Only "Pint Cups"

Ia order TO defeat the object Of the
new berry ordinance, Salt Lake county
growers are putting under way plan
to place only pint cups on the local
market this year, and charge the same
for them as for the old-style cups
which have been tabooed, according to
w. +. Farr, city scaler.
Mr.. Farr made the declaration yes
terday that the growers are openly
planning to cheat the public.
The city ordinance, passed by the
city commissioners after much protest
on the port Of the growers, requires
that berries shall be sold only in quart
and pint cups, the idea being to cor
rect the popular practice Of selling ber.
ries in cups that hold but two-t thirds OF
a quart, and representing to the con-
Unable to defeat this ordinance, the
growers, according to Mr.. Farr, are
passing the word throughout the county
that only pint cups shall be used III
placing berries on the local market.
"These cups, representing even a
greater swindle than that against
which the new ordinance is aimed, are
going to sell at the regular prices
charged for the old-stylc cups, 1 under
stand,' Mr.. Farr said.
Another feature Of the berry grow
ers' plot, according to Mr.. Farr, IS the
organization of growers throughout the
state SO that only local growers shall
supply the local market with berries
in pint cups, and thus effectively keep
out all but the "pint cup" conspira-
tors. Mr.. Farr says that meetings
have been held in several parts Of this
and neighboring counties recently for
this very purpose.
"But 7 IN going to do a little nip
ping in the bud myself" the sealer
continued. "A bill will be drafted for
introduction in the legislature next
Monday that will class as form OF
boycott any attempt to organize fruit
growers in the state so as to eliminate
natural competition in any one sec
tion -

Florence accepted the situation
gracefully and offered to give bond

ty attorney, not only decided to refuse
Florence the complaint against Davis
