Superior Judge P P Goshey ruled that California prune and apricot growers cannot be forced to sue through the association and that the amended civil code granting this right is unconstitutional. The decision voids the membership contract clause requiring growers to sell fruit only to the association and voids a restraining order preventing sale to others. The case, California Prune and Apricot Growers Association v Pomeroy Orchard Co, was decided in San Jose.

Truckmen's Association Forces Use Of Carrier Trucks
On the New York docks this week the Truckmen's Association ordered receivers who sold goods to ensure cargoes are moved by trucking firms with whom contracts were made. The move follows theft-related refusals by railroads to deliver goods without the buyer's order. The New York Central pier at Barclay Street suffered light movement, with onions and produce piling up as loaders struck. A meeting in Fruit and Produce Trade Association rooms planned a response, including potential disruption if shipments to New York Central stop. A Buyer's Union formed by independent auction buyers aims to secure fair treatment. Temporary officers for Independent Auction Company were elected: Arlie Welch president, Henry A. Eck treasurer, A. Rose secretary.
