STRIKE AGAINST PRICES
BRITISH COLUMBIA APPLE GROWERS Press Association—By Telegraph— Copyright. VANCOUVER, September 12. (Received September 13, at 1.20 p.m.) British Columbia apple growers are striking against the alleged unfair prices for fruit. Eighty per cent, of them organised themselves on a pledge to refuse to pick the apples unless they were grantee! one cent per pound. Independent shippers are blamed for the crisis in this fifty-millon-dollar industry’. Pickets, blocking the bridges in Okanagan Valley’, halted trucks bearing fruit from unpledged shippers, forcing them to return to the ranches. Jobbers are organising to fight the movement.
