THE SIORXING OREGOXIAN, TUESDAY, MAY 4, 1030 BREAD AVAILABLE IS III SPITE OF STRIKE Both Master Bakers and Union Predict Victory. 'OPEN SHOP" MAIN ISSUE Ladies' Aid society, under whose aus pices the affair will be given, and A. B. Cain, general chairman of arrange ments. The Portland Woman's union, the Monday Musical club, -the Mayflower club, the Over the Top auxiliary and the auxiliary to the American Legion at their meetings held Monday all passed resolutions in su-pport of the 2-mlll tax measure for the support and maintenance of the elementary schoools of Oregon. The measure is being presented at today's meetings as follows: Portland Railroad Woman's club, Mrs. Sadie Orr-Dunbar; House wive's council, Mrs. Alexander Thompson: Fernwood Parent-Teacher association, Mrs. L. P. Hewitt; St. Johns Community club, Mrs. Alex- Dearth of Rye, Whole Wheat and Graham Breads Is Noticed at Corner Grocery Stores. The daily loaf continued to be available yesteroay, despite the clty wido strike of the union bakers. Members of the employers' organiza tion, the Master Bakers' association, issued statements to the effect that the public will never feel the vestige of a shortage, and that the new policy of the open shop will be maintained. At the corner grocery, where the reactions of the strike are most readily observable to the householder, there was a dearth of rye, whole wheat and graham breads yesterday. The dralcrs explained that the big bakeries were no longer supplying these lines, nor would they resume baking the dark breads until the elrike is over and conditions again are normal. It was a direct buffet to the health faddist, who must per fore be content with white bread. Union Virtory Predicted. Dick Kroll, business agent of the fcakery and confectionery workers' union, was optimistic last night over the prospective outcome of the strike, lie declared that the union will win, and that the uien have all left the larger bakeries, with the exception of a few individual cases. The union claims that ISO men have struck, of an employed total of 300, and that 13 smaller retail bakeries have ac cepted the agreement. - Neither the bakeries nor the strik- era name the existent situation as a-strike. .The former say that the union has never advised them that its members are on strike, but that they are merely taking a vacation until the employers are willing to sign the recently submitted agree ment. The union leaders assert that, in its effort to establish the open shop, the Master Bakers' association practically established a lock-out against union me,n wio were adverse to the open shop, and left the men no alternative but to quit work. Wage of $42 Is Drmaidnl. The agreement submitted by the bakery workers for May 1, which employers declined to sign, asked for a day wage of 42 and a night wage of J45. The wage scale at the pres ent time is ?38 and $42. though spe cially skilled craftsmen, working overtime, have paychecks of 45 to $80. The objection of the master bakers to signing the agreement, it was said, centers not so much upon the wage feature as upon the provi sions which would, the bakers assert, deliver their workrooms over to the unions for operation. Employment and. credentials would be passed upon by the unions, and the right of the business agent to visit the premises Is a cardinal point in the rejected agreement. When the members of the Master Bakers' association determined upon the open shop policy last Saturday they did so with the intent that no discrimination will be shown, accord ing to their explanatory statements. They' have announced that they will not discriminate against a union man or his continued membership in the labor organization, but that they re serve the right to employ non-union workers as well. . ' Strikers Deny Statement. The master bakers also contend that the walkout is not representative of the real sentiment of the men concerned, and that most of these w ere content with working conditions and wages. A provision of the union ordinances, it was said, to the effect that any member shall be fined $300 If he does not respond to strike or ders caused many of the departures from the bakerooms. The strikers deny this and assert that they are out as a protest against the open shop and for the purpose of forcing their agreement to signature. "Everything Is going satisfactorily said Mr. Kroll, business agent of the union. "The master bakers are ap plying as many as three and four men to a task that is usually per formed by one competent journey man. The places are being filled with inexperienced help, and they cannot hold the pace. lie"! Test Declared Near. "We know that the bakeries are claiming that they will keep up the supply. But up to the present they have been supplying trade, to a large extent, with bread, baked by union members on Friday and Saturday. Tonight and tomorrow this supply will be exhausted and the real test will arrive. We are going to win." Bakers affected by the strike are co-operating to the fullest degree in an endeavor to smash it and main tain the open shop principle. One of the large bakeries ia specializing on cookies and supplying the others. Another ia to the rescue with pies for the fellowship. A third is frying doughnuts for all. And each bakery ia concentrating its individual effort upon white bread. ACTOR WHO TOOK ROLE OP LISiCOLX RETURNS TO ' BAKER. It.

Just by way ot showing Port land audiences that he can be funny as well as serious, Brod erick O'Farrell, who played the part of Lincoln In "Abraham Lincoln" last February, has re turned to the Baker theater, and this week made his bow again in a fun-making part in "What's Your Husband Doing?" O'Farrell ( who has lived in Portland much of his life, has not been on the legitimate stage here for some 17 years when He started out on his career as a boy in early-day melodramas. Since then he has been with all sorts of road shows some of them bad and some of them, good; has played leads, charac ter parts and all sorts of parts in stock companies and has achieved considerable success in the moving-picture field which he has left temporarily to fin ish the present season with the Baker theater as "heavy," as theatrical folk call it, and as a "character-man lead" when the occasion demands.
