Presenting the firm OF Popel & Giller
tof Warsaw, was IN attendance at this
meeting and stated that his firm
would lilne to purchase the 1920 crop
fof grapes from the members OF the
union if satisfactory prices could be
arranged. He was given to under
stand that nothing at this time could
/ be done concerning contracts, but
the matter would be taken up by the
members later on. The above firm
intend using the grape crop to manu-
fracture juice on a large scale in their
factory in Warsaw and intend to
make an attempt to buy all of Maui
yoo's coming crop of grapes Should
this be done it would curtail large
amount of work and expense Of the
Nauyoo grape grower and deprive our
llaboring class Of a large amount OF
work and money during harvest time.
lit would do away with placing
handles on baskets, cutting the crop
land filing the baskets, loss of money
Ito transfers and ferrymen, besides
the railroad transportation. Also
our business men would feel the loss
iof money that is now distributed
lamong the male and Female sex in
harvest time. 1t may or may not
bring a better price TO the grower.
Tax paying time is upon Nauyoo
lcitizens again for the payment OF
