NUMBER 42
CO-OPS. VS. BALL
CASE CONTINUED
Warren Tobacco Farmer Re
strained From Selliing On
' Warehouse Floors.
SOLD ABOUT 3,000 POUNDS
The case against W. J. Ball for vio
lating the contract of the Tri-State
Tobacco Association by selling on the
open market had been continued, Mr.
Ball said here yesterday afternoon.
The trial was to be held in Raleigh on
Monday before Judge Lyon, but has
been postponed.
A restraining order has been serv
ed on the Warren County tobacco
producer to keep him from selling any
more of his tobacco on the open .floor.
Mr. Ball said yesterday that he had
sold about 3,000 pounds at auction
and that he had around 20,000 pounds
on the plantation, . though much of
this was half-share tobacco.
Messrs. Polk & Polk are appearing
in defense of Ball in the suit brought
by the Co-operative Association.
The legal victory of the Tobacco
Growers Cooperative Association won
at Nashville, N. C, and confirmed by
the announcement of Judge- Frank
Daniels at Plymouth that its con
tracts with members are binding and
enforceable by injunction was follow
ed up at once by the filing of jfurther"
suits by the Association against four
teen members in . eight counties ask
ing damages at the rate of five cents
a pound for all tobacco sold in viola
tion of -.the contract plus attorneys'
fees.
Six growers are ordered to appear
before Judge C. C. Lyon in Raleigh
next Monday are Henry A. Mason of
Wake County,- Al Walker of Wake.
County, J. T-. Daniel of Granville
Conty, ..David Ourganns of Oreene
County, C. E. and M. T. Winstead of
Person County and W. J. Ball of War
ren County whose cases involve dam
ages and attorneys' fees of more than'
$6800.
That the Association will go to the
limit in protecting the interests of
its loyal members by suits against
contract breakers is evidenced from
the fact that all the suits now on file
are on printed forms and apply to
members both in the' old belt and
Eastern North Carolina.
The second cash payment by the
Association to all members in South
Carolina will be made next week, and,
according to Me, Sands, the Associa
tion could go out of business today and
make every member who has deliver
ed tobacco two more payments, each
as large as the first. -
"There was never a company form
ed with a business as big as yours
which has run as smoothly and suc
cessfully as your association," the
manager of the big cooperative told
its members in Eastern Carolina."
