very little work and not competent to

81 also found that the Association
was very heavily assessed by the
State Association, besides their enor-

Board to ask an accounting of the
State Association and also to serve
notice of withdrawal from that organ
ization, which the Board did at that
time.
"The Progress makes the statement
that l did not make good. That is
partly true, as l was not kept on the

Some Plain Facts for the
Dairyman
= FRANK PELTRET

Harris WeinstOck, of Sacra-
mento and J. NJ. Henderson Jr.,
of Sacramento have done bust.
ness together for a good many
years. The first time ever
heard of or saw Mr.. WeinstOck
was at fruit-grOwers' cOnven-
ton held at San Jose in 1904. l
was at the time participating in
an active fight in behalf of the
citrus fruit growers against the
ArmOurs refrigerator car mOnOp-
oily, the Southern Pacific and 9TH
ers. | had been informed that the
same issues would be raised at
the San Jose convention which
was a body of deciduOus fruit
growers and | was there as a
spectator. Within a few hours
learned that the Southern Pacific
had packed the convention by the
liberal use of free transportation
in order to defeat radical res0lu-
tiOrs to be offered in denuncia-
ton of the Armour car monopoly
its service, rates and icing
charges and Harris WeinstOck
was pointed out to me as one of
the influential men who would
lead the Southern Pacific Armour
forces to battle.
The Committee on Resolutions
made up of actual fruit growers
presented the resolutions. AlthO
his main business at the time was
running the department store in
Sacramento, which he still owns,
Harris WeinstOck addressed the
convention as brother fruit gcow-
ers in opposition to the resolu-
tons: so did Lieut.-GOv. Ander-
son a banker of Sacramento and
others. The convention was thor
ly packed and Paul ShOup took
care of the entertainment. The
resolutions were defeated.
#:E::
My companion on the train
home was one of the Pack 'fOr
business reasons. only" He said
he was with me in heart and he
proved it by telling me what he
knew about WeinstOck and 9TH
erS.
Whatever else he is, credit
must be given to WeinstOck for
his astuteness. The bill under
which he is serving the state as
Market Director was intended by
its makers to reduce the high
cost of living and what its makers
think about the Colonel and his
administration of it could not go
thru the mails.
:s:s:k
At the time when WeinstOck
made their fight for the ArmOurs
at San Jose they were seeking the
same control over the California
fruit industry that they have over
the meat industry. How they fail
ed to get it is another story.
