The Rorists' Review 



August 13, 1014. 



in the field by electric power. The 

 total number of hands employed on the 

 Morse ranch during the busy time is 

 about 250, and a more cosmopolitan 

 assembly, says Mr. Cuthbertson, can 

 scarcely be imagined. Italy, Holland, 

 northern Europe, Greece, etc., are rep- 

 resented. Most of the field workers, 

 however, are Chinamen, but these for 

 the most part are getting on in years, 

 and as no fresh additions are allowed 

 to enter the United States, the labor 

 problem in California will be acute in 

 the near future. Mr. Cuthbertson has 

 no British assistants, and he and the 

 ranch manager, Thomas Landrum, who 

 is an American, are thus living among 

 a motley crowd. It is a life of work 

 and sleep." 



OLDS DOING WELL. 



At the meeting of the stockholders 

 of the L. L. Olds Seed Co., Madison, 

 Wis., held at the office of the company 

 August 3, the following directors were 

 reelected: E. F. Eiley, W. D. Curtis, 

 Chas. N. Brown, Dr. C. S. Sheldon, 

 T. S. Morris, L. L. Olds and S. A. 

 Wilson. On the adjournment of the 

 stockholders' meeting a directors' 

 meeting was called, when L. L. Olds 

 was reelected president, W. D. Curtis 

 vice-president, S. A. Wilson secretary, 

 and E. P. Riley treasurer. Mr. Olds 

 continues as general manager and S. A. 

 Wilson as assistant manager. The 

 company has been six years in Madison 

 and during that time, according to Mr. 

 Wilson, the business has doubled itself 

 twice. 



MELON MEN INDICTED. 



Twenty-eight men and seven firms 

 or corporations, members of the alleged 

 national melon trust, were indicted 

 August 7 by a federal grand jury. They 

 will be prosecuted under the Sherman 

 anti-trust act. 



The government contends that the 

 Western Cantaloupe Exchange, which 

 the indicted men are said to have or- 

 ganized in 1912, not only regulated the 

 shipment of melons but allowed the 

 fruit to rot on the vines in order to 

 hold prices up. 



Prominent commission merchants in 

 half a dozen cities were accused by the 

 grand jury. The corporations or firms 

 indicted are: Western Cantaloupe 

 Exchange of Chicago and Brawley, 

 Cal. ; Lyon Bros. Co., New York city; 

 Miller-Cummings Co., New York city; 

 Lyon-Coggins Co., Pittsburgh; M. O. 

 Coggins Co., Pittsburgh; Mutual Dis- 

 tributing Co. and United Marketing 

 Co., Los Angeles. The Chicagoans are: 

 Frank E. and William L. Wagner, of 

 G. M. H. Wagner & Son; Charles H. 

 and Charles A. Weaver, L. Bernard Kil- 

 bourne, William F. Morpf and Ira 

 Dodge Hale, all identified with C. H. 

 Weaver & Co., and Joseph Friedheim, 

 president of J. Friedheim & Co. The
