vines, feeling their industry had been
killed. Then it was discovered a de-
mand existed in Eastern centers for
fresh grapes for the making of wine in
homes.
The industry doomed and new plant
ings resulted. Now the bearing acre
age is double what it was before pro-
hibition. After the new acreage came
into bearing, shipments outside the
State totaled annually from 40 to over
so thousand refrigerator carloads.
Overproduction paralleled oyerpro-
duction in other agricultural indus
tries, but was complicated by other fac
tors. The grapes were shipped to rela-
lively few Eastern cities, where buyers
markets developed. Bootleggers en-
tered the market and racketeering de-
pressed prices to such an extent that
the industry was threatened with ruin
Then Conn, supported by industry
leaders. aided by Mabel Walker Willie
brandt, encouraged by high Govern
ment officials, worked out and an
nounced the Vine-Glo program. This
was designed to put out-of-State ship
ments on juice basis, where the in
dustry, not bootleggers and racketeers
would be in control.
Court Decision Hurts.
1t was expected greatly to broaden
the market by providing home serWc1ng
of the Juice; previously. outside Of Cal
ifornia. the household market for fresh
grapes had been confined chiefly to for
eign elements Of the population, accus-
toned to home wine making.
The decision of Federal Judge Otis
of Missouri destroyed the home servic-
inp mart of the Vine-Glo set-up. Con-
centrates are still sold by Fruit Indus
tries. Ltd, but the householder must
mature his own juice. This put tins
industry Just about back where II was
before.
Conn's seemingly petulant outburs'
has been followed up. The managing
director of the industry for tve years
has stepped out of that post to heac
the California forces opposed 10 pro
hibition. All organizations in the State
onnosed TO ohibition-including labor
medical and other professional groups
are being welded into single organlza'
ton.
Mass Meeting Planned.
A mass meeting to perfect organlza
ton and plans is to be held IN par
Francisco in about two weeks. Wher
the State organization is completed ef'
forts will be made to extend the move
ment on a Nationwide scale.
The immediate aim is liberalization
of the Volstead act to permit the sail
of naturally fermented beverages-Hgh
wines and beer. The ultimate aim L
repeal or revision Of the eighteenth
amendment to permit the carefully re,
stricted sale of all kinds of alcoholic
beverages. Arguments for modification
will be based largely upon temperance
governmental economy, crime reduction
and help for agriculture.
Indications are that California as 8
whole will support the program, which
may be of political significance this
year.

Although Conn's announcement of
