Consolidation Rumors End California Vegetable Union Rivalry
In Los Angeles officials announce that the California Vegetable union and the Pacific Vegetable Co will merge, ending years of fierce competition. Thomas O Neill becomes president with Frank P Fay as vice president Ed A Curtis from the Pacific Co as general manager and secretary B P Hoar as treasurer. Former leaders Cronemiller and Hazeltine likely retire, while Hazeltine may join the Southern Trust Co. The move ends double officers and shifts wholesale celery trade to the unified union.

Warning on Cole law bonds for New York commission merchants
The article explains the Cole law creating bonding of commission merchants in New York went into effect Aug 1 1913 and has led to many small dealers being listed as bonded. It warns shippers that state backing and bonds do not guarantee payment, and that a merchant can still fail or commit fraud. It notes the bonding company only covers honesty up to 3000 dollars and does not guarantee debts. Commissioner Huson is granting licenses liberally but shippers should still verify financial capacity before credit.

Onion Growers Consider Liquidation Amid Losses and Disbandment Talk
At the annual meeting of the Southern Texas Truck Growers Association in Laredo the group debated dissolution due to sustained losses from low prices and high costs. Reports show 3,465 cars handled with net returns of 38 cents per crate for onions and about 63 cents per bushel for potatoes, leaving a $20,000 surplus after expenses. Directors were not reappointed, Campbell’s contract expires September 1, and a stockholders’ meeting will be held to decide liquidation. Some members favor immediate dissolution, while others urge continued operation to avoid disruption. The debate highlights ongoing blame between independent shippers and the association over pricing and marketing competition.

Government backs California Fruit Growers plan for national markets
A Washington dispatch in the Los Angeles Tribune claims the Department of Agriculture favors using the California Fruit Growers exchange as a model for a national cooperative market bureau. Independent shippers challenge this view, arguing the government favors the exchange, discounts independent growers, and relies on exchange officials’ statements. A statewide petition by independents seeks to present their case to the secretary of agriculture.
