I6-0UI1CE LOAF FAILS
PL-AX REJECTED WHEN" BAKERS
FIGHT NEW STANDARD.
City Scaler of Weight and Bread-
maker Told? to Compromise
Smaller Measure Wanted.
Upon the declaration of E. O. Gloss,
president of the Master Bakers' Asso
ciation, that adoption by the city of a
l-ounce. standard loar wouia put an
the smaller bakers out of business and
would Inlure the larger barkeries great
ly, the Health and Police Committee of
the City Council yesterday rejected the
proposed bread ordinance Introduced by
City Sealer of Welghta and Measures
Buchtel and asked him and the bakers
to hold a meeting and arrange a meas
ure which would be' satisfactory to all
concerned.
The bakers declare their willingness
to live up to a 14-ounce standard, de
claring that even that would require
some of the bakers to Increase the size
of their loaves. City 'Sealer Bucbtel
says he Is willing to compromise with
the dealers on a lS-ounce loaf, and It
Is probable such a compromise will be
made.
"There la a net profit of one-quarter
of a cent on a loaf of bread," said Mr.
Gloss, "and we are required to take
back from the grocer all loaves not
sold. This reduces our profit to a mini
mum. At present almost all the dealers
are turning out li-ounce loaves and
can make a profit on them. This is be
cause flour and other products are
lower In price than at any time In the
last three years. When these prices
rise we cannot afford to put out such
large loaves. An ordinance requiring
a 14-ounce loaf would cover the ground,
I thins: There Is most bitter competi
tion among"bakeries and all desire to
put out large loaves. This competi
tion keeps the sixe of a loaf well up
tcwmrd. a pound and no ordinance Is
necessary. When flour and other pro
ducts rise we cannot raise the price of
bread, so we have to reduce the slse
of the loaves. Otherwise we would
have to go out of business."
Forty City Wagons In Use Through

Car Service Continuous.
While thousands of residents have
been bemoaning the condition of slush
into which the eight hours of snowfall
of the previous day resolved Itself yes
terday, 5000 of the unemployed have
found the situation a godsend.

clean off his sidewalk and porches.
The residence districts of the East
and West Side and the business East
Side district were particularly willing
to get in touch with would-be workers.
It seemed aa if every man desiring em
ployment was accommodated.
The principal result of the inclement
weather conditions, otherwise, has been
that all trains were delayed from eight
to 12 hours, even Nos. 9 and 10, the fast
night malls being hampered in Eastern
Oregon more than is usually the case.
Slush Removed Rapidly.
With no special appropriation on
which to call, the streetcleanlng de
partment of the city found Itself In a
quandary. The usual force of 20 men
and wagons was put to work on each

TAFT UPHELD BY RABBI
DR. JONAH B. WISE SPEAKS ON
TREATY ABROGATION.
President's Handling of Subject
Praised as Diplomatic and Just
Right for Both Sides.
"The challenge of America is looked
upon by European nations much as the
appearance of the prince is welcomed
by the princess imprisoned in the robber-giant's
tower," declared Rabbi
Jonah B. Wise last night, in speaking
at the Temple Beth Israel on "The Ab
rogation of the Russian-American
Treaty." He said the abrogation of the
treaty emphasised the divorce of the
religion of the man from the treatment
of the citizen, and praised the states
manship of President Taft.
"To those who would hamper gov
ernment with a petty religious belief,
it must now be most clear that govern
ment unhampered by religion alone can
undertake fair Jurisdiction over mil
llona of people of varying beliefs," he
said. The sermon, in part, was:
The action of the President of the United
States in the matter of the treaty with Rus
ala has a significance that is bound to give
It a place In the history of government.
Fortunately for the American people, the
Presidential chair la occupied by a states
man. This fact alone will be cause for com
ment when the future historians of our
country write Its annals, and In this Instance
was a most pleasant coincidence.
Mr. Taft may be a mediocre politician,
bnt as a statesman he haa glvea the United
States significant service. His method of
handling the subject left very little cause
for offense on the part of the Russian gov
ernment, and the accomplishment of desired
ends without heat or malice Is always worth
while. The Issue waa one of extreme deli
cacy, and probably presented difficulties
tnat were aa real and troublesome as those
presented to Mr. Cleveland In the contro
versy with England over Venezuela. In
view of the President's observance of the
manners of diplomacy the best-informed
. -. nn ,h. iMm1 ai no diffl-
I eulty In the way of a renewal of treaty rela
I .. - i. iia Hefnra, the vear has ex
pired. That the action of the House and
the contemplated action of the Senate would
have made the resumption of treaty rela
tions very difficult is assumed by all ob
servers. In consequence Mr. Taft la to be
thanked that the thing waa done and waa
done right. . . ,
The significance of the act, however. Is
far greater than mere comment upon the
way it waa done would lead one to suppose.
It established a precedent in International
politics. In that a first-class power ,. has
dared to Inform the Russian autocracy that
Its attitude toward religious differences is
not compatible with the Ideals of modern
civilisation, and means the placing of the
Tzar's government In a position scarcely
different from that of Turkey or China, who
have been forced time and again to alter
their policy of the treatment of faiths for
eign to the rulers. In ths opinion of Euro
pean commentators Russia haa bean Hum-

CANAL RAIL RATE HOLDS
Government Asked Xot to Put Rise
in Effect Until March.
Advices have been received from
Washington. E. C by J. - iotnrop,
traffic manager of the transportation
itaa nf the Chamber of Com
merce, that the 2 cent advance In
rates on low-class commodities across
the Isthmus by the railway operated
there by tne unitea Diai.es
A petition has been filed, however, to
have the date of its becoming effective
changed from February 4 to March 4.
Mr. Lothrop says the advance waa
made to divert some of the traffic over
other, transportation lines, as the busi
ness over the Panama road waa assum
ing greater proportions than the line
was capable of handling. The purpose
of the petition, to delay the . date for
making the rate effective la to give
the companies that have business over
that line an opportunity to adjust
themselves to the new conditions before
the change.
"The congestion of freight traffic
over the Panama road," said Mr. Loth
rop, "may be taken as a strong indica
tion of the great movement of freight
that will go by this route after the
canal has been thrown open to traffic,"
