Packers Negotiate Big Merger.

The following report of a big deal
among Pacific Coast packing interests
is contained in recent issue of a
San Francisco paper:
The $25 100000 merger of the prin-
cipal canning interests of California,
with the biggest salmon packing inter
est in the world has been completed.
The Gamers and factors in the new
organization are:
California Fruit Gamers associa-
ton.
Central California Canneries asso-
citation.
Griffin & Skelly.
j. K. Armsby company.
Sixty-eight per cent of the stock of
the Alaska Packers association is in
the pool to insure the entrance of that
company into the deal. This is enough
to make certain of the amalgamation
of the association and the fruit inter
ests.
Those making the combination say
that for the present it will be more of
a defensive trade organization than
anything else. Because Libby, Mcneil
& Libby, Swift concern, is not only
in the fruit business, but recently
bought the North Alaska Salmon COM
pany, the fruit Gamers of California
took alarm at the possible develop
ments.
The outcome has been the forma-
ton of this fruit and fish corporation
to meet the eastern packers on equal
terms.
The business organization Of the
new company will be founded on the
plan of the Standard Oil company.
The business will be managed by an
executive committee, consisting of the
heads of the various departments,
such as salmon, canned fruit, dried
fruit and so on. This committee will
be the working heart of the organiza-
ton.
While William Solomon & Co. are
the fiscal agents Of the combination,
the idea of the merger Is understood
to have originated with William Fries,
president of the Fruit Gamers asso-
citation. He is to be president Of the
new company. Balfour, Guthrie & Co.
ested.
The new company will handle the
fleet Of the Alaska Packers associa-
ton differently from what has been the
case in past years. 1t Is understood
that the deep-water fleet of about 20
ships and barks will no longer spend
the winter in Oakland creek, but will
be used in carrying Alaska and Cali.
fornia products direct to England and
New York through the canal. The
company's vessels, which make up the
largest fleet under one ownership un-
der the American flag are thus to be
kept constantly employed.

REPORT KING HAS ADVOCATED
renders - Ex-Premier venizeIos
Declared to Be Power Be-
hind tho Throne.

London.-After long silence with
Athens, during which sensational ru-
mors Of revolution have gained cur
rency, but without confirmation, now
comes the startling news of the ar
rival of an entente allied fleet with
transports at Piraeus; that the gen.
eral Greek elections likely will be
postponed for fortnight, and that
King Constantine has abdicated and
the crown prince, George, will take
the throne.
From fragmentary dispatches that
reached London it is deducted that
changes Of decisive character have
taken place in Athens and that the
Greek de facto government has de-
cided to abandon neutrlity and align
itself on the side of the entente.
Claim King Has Abdicated.
1t is reported that King Constan-
tine Of Greece has abdicated and that
the crown prince has been named as
his successor, with former Premier
Venizelos as the power behind the
throne. The British foreign office
says it has no confirmation of the
kings abdication.
An estente fleet of % warships
and seven transports is reported off
Piraeus, the port of Athens. A dis
patch from Athens says 1t is prob
able that the Greek elections, set for
October 8, will be postponed for a
fortnight.
Greek Garrison Surrenders.
The Greek garrison at Saloniki, at
Vodena, and at Little Karaburun have
surrendered to committee which has
taken over the administration Of part
of Greek Macedonia, according to
dispatches from Saloniki. The re.
volt in Saloniki is confirmed by the
British foreign office. Greeks, friend
ly to the entente, surrounded the bar
racks of the Greek infantry in Sa-
loniki and are said to have exchang-
ed shots with them. General Sarrall,
allied commander at Salonikf, inter
vened to prevent further bloodshed.
