CALIFORNIA; MARKET
COMMISSION PLANS
Federal Trust Laws Are Not
Violated According to Views
of Chairman

Washington, Dee. 31.-The California
market commissions plans to take
charge of distributing the state s agri-
cultural products does not violate anti.
trust laws and it will be placed in i'm
mediate operation, Chairman Weinstock
of the commission said today.
WeinstOck came here a few days ago
to consclt with the department Of JUS
tice and the federal trade commission
concerning the plan.
In brief, the plan provides for ware
housing crops and financing them
through favorable loans in New York;
moreo er, it proposes a campaign to
get an enormous business in the United
States and South American markets.
After getting his plans all made,
Veins ock heard they might be held a
violation of antitrust laws in view Of
the coordination feature to control and
expand markets.
The decision, given him, may have
an important effect on other combina-
tions CT similar nature throughout the
country. Weinstock hailed the opin-
ion as of being of vast import to Cali
fornia, inasmuch as she has had only
small portion of the South American
trade, and moreover her growers have
been forced to seek money at high
rates or else often times dump their
products ON the market before the dry
ing season started. Dried fruit men,
however, will not be the only ones who
will benefit by the proposal, for the
commission plans to embrace all forms
OF agricultural men.
"Under the law, Attorne General
Gregory was unable to approve or dis
approve directly the state plan, but
inasmuch as he pointed out no illegal
tiles, Weinstock took his answer to be
virtual approval,
"Hence, convinced that the proposed
combination is not prohibited and act
ing on the advice of Attorney General
Webb of California, Weinstock pro-
poses to go ahead.
Weinstock will leave for San Fran
cisco tomorrow, and will at once call a
meeting of producers to start the dis
| tribution bcreau.
Officials of the federal trade com
mission, the market bureau of the de-
partment of agriculture and other fed
eral agencies consulted by Weinstock
were sympathetic with his proposals,
