4 Officers and Stockholders Speak
At the conclusion of Mr.. Longs re-
marks members of the company and
several stockholders spoke. H. S.
johnson, secretary and general man
ager referred to the financial end of
the proposition and vividly pictured
The many obstacles that had been
encountered in bringing the financial
affairs up to the present flatter-
ing conditions. He depicted the early
struggles in the dark days of the
company's affairs, when the financial
conditions were at low ebb and the
support of the public, which in many
instances had little faith in the propo-
sition, was quite lukewarm. 1t required
no philosopher to understand from Mr..
Johnson's remarks that those were
the days that tried the hearts of men.
But now all was changed with the
excellent financial conditions. which
are attained by few companies.

live on beans or tortillas.
He may be a specialist in rentals.

CLAIM PRODUCTION COSTS
NOT EXCESSIVE TO PRICES

Washington. D. c., Nov. Is
Franklin P. Nutting, president Of the
SeedIess Raisin company. testified be-
fore the federal trade commission
today the packing facilities OF his
company had been operated at but
one third capacity this season owing
to the company's inability to obtain
a sufficient supply OF raisins from
the California Associated Ralsin com
pany. Had his company been able
to operate at capacity. he declared,
it could have saved consumers $780,
600 on its production for the season
Nutting claimed the increased
prices established by the Associated
company were not in proportion 70
the Increased production cost He
said costs OF growing and curing
raisins had increased nearly a cent
pound during the past year and
that packing costs had increased
about one eighth OF a cent pound.
The 1913 raisiu crop. he said. was
three times as large as the 1914 crop.
