After the coffee, while the men en-
joyed their cigars, VIM. Mcintosh bid
the men welcome and introduced I. e.
Welsh of GAINESVILLE as chairman of the
meeting. Walter Mabbett was chosen
to act as secretary.
The chair stated what the purpose of
the meeting was, namely, to talk over
the proposition made by the Northern
Wisconsin Cooperative Tobacco Pool
to the owners of warehouses in the
form of an agreement sent to the
warehousemen for their acceptance.
Tbs proposed agreement was then
read.
An hour of lively exchange of opinion
during which time the utmost good
feeling prevailed, resulted in two reso-
buttons bearing directly on the matter
for which the meeting was called. The
first resolution was rejection of the
agreement presented by the pool as
being entirely unsatisfactory, and the
second, resolution expressing that it
was the sense of the men assembled
that the representatives of the pool be
informed that as individuals the inde-
pendent packers who had warehouses
to sell or lease to the pool would be
willing to discuss sale or lease, and
terms of such sale or lease with the
accredited officers of the pool. The
warehousemen wanted to be guarded
against the impression that they are
anxious to dispose of their properties;
they are not; but in any business deal
involving such sale or lease they will
deal with the pool as they would with
any other concern, or with an indi-
vidual.
Mr.. Holtan for the pool made the
statement that he was pleased with the
stand taken by the assembled ware
house men, and askedsto be notified by
packers who had property to sell or
lease. He also invited the packers to
become purchasers of this years to-
bacco crop while it is in the bundle.
This remark was cheered by the pack
ers.
Resolutions thanking Mr.. Rcltan and
Mr.. Lien for attending the meeting,
and one thanking the Edgerton COM
mittee for calling the meeting, were
adopted.
