THE MORNING OREGONIAN, TUESDAY, MAECII 14, 1922 13 KELLYBUnERDCK ' PRICES PROTESTED Private Corporations Declare Competition Unfair. OLD RATES ARE RESTORED Commissioners Decline to Discon tinue Use of County Quarry and Convict Labor. Protests against operation of Kelly Butte rockpile in competition with private corporations were lodged with the county commissioners yesterday I by D. W. Minsinger and Chris E. Minsinger of the Star Sand company and. Daniel Kern of the Columbia Contract company. Embodied in their general complaint against the use of convict labor in crushing crock, the protestants objected to the new schedule of prices put in effect by Sheriff Hurlburt last week. The commissioners agreed to return the prices to their old level when Sheriff Hurlburt offered no objec tion, but declined to discontinue operation of the county rockpile. Prices of 2.40 per cubto yard for screenings, $2.25 for medium and $2 for coarse rock were cut by Sheriff Hurlburt to $1.85, $1.80 and $1.75 last week on the information that these were the market prices of rock for 1922. Asked where he obtained his Information, the sheriff said that; Citv Commissioner Barbur had in formed him that the city had been asked those prices on rock needed during the coming season. The com plalnants said those prices might be made in large lots, but tnat tne ror mer price had not been reduced to the average purchaser, except that $2.25. $2.10 and $1.90 were asked when more than 10 loads were or dered. Ola Prices Restored. Sheriff Hurlburt said that he had no desire to cut prices under those of firms in business handling rock and the commissioners ordered the old prices restored with the small reduction referred to in orders of more than 10 loads. D. W. Minsinger and Mr. Kern told the commissioners that Kelly . Butte was ruining their business, the latter asserting that his plant, with a capacity of 600 yards per day located at the foot of Salmon street had operated only three days during the past month. They said .they could not compete with convict labor and asked that the county discontinue crushing rock except for use on county roads by the roadmaster. The commissioners took the attl tude that there was no disastrous - "convict-labor" competition when the county quarry was not underselling private competitors and pointed out - further that county needs require such a heavy percentage of Kelly Butte's output that the amount sold to private contractors is not large, Underbidding Is Reported. The complaint was made that Por ter Yett had been enabled to under bid others in furnishing rock for Foster road because of his chance to get the rock from the county quarry with much shorter haul than from city bunkers along the east bank of the river. The commissioners as serted that others had the same op portunity and that the matter of hauling was in their favor twhen work was to be done on the west side. The commissioners were in receipt of a letter from J. L. McConnell, di rector of the Portland Industrial Traffic club, asking that the paving to be laid on the Greeley street ex tension to the St. Johns river road be made 3 6 feet wide instead of 18, as planned, because of the traffic vol ume. The $65,000 appropriated for the work in the county budget allows only for an 18-foot strip, but the commissioners ordered that the pav ing be laid at one side of the road, allowing for widening later, should traffic demands warrant. C. II. Vyse presented a petition of property owners seeking to have East Eighty-second street paved between Sandy boulevard and the Base Line road because of heavy traffic and poor condition of the road. The com missioners said they had no money for that purpose in the 1922 budget and saw no way in which the work could be done.

CHEST CRUSADE IS AIDED OCCUPATIONAL RECANVASS IS MEETING WITH SUCCESS. General Smith Emphasizes Need for Completing- Budget at Meet ing of Business Men. Additional groups were lined up at a meeting yesterday afternoon for the occupational re-canvass for the com munity chest. This is now in progress and is meeting with considerable suc cess. Robert E. Smith, head of the cam paign, called a meeting of numerous representatives of various businesses at the Chamber of Commerce and told them the need for completing the chest budget. "We got $525,000 from the geo graphic canvass, but this Is not enough," he saidV "Prevailing sick ness thinned the ranks of our army and the remaining solicitors could not cover the ground assigned them. This is the answer to the failure to com plete the budget; it cannot be said that the people of Portland are un willing to give to charitable enter prises, because we know their hearts are right." Franklin T. Griffith, president of the chest, deplored the fact that peo pie escape subscribing because of le-ss favorable business conditions than last year. The-y fail to recognize, he said, that wTur'n conditions- are bad the need for relief Is keener than in normal times. "We did not provide for the relief of disabled soldiers last year,' he said. yet this year we put J40.000 in our budget to meet this need. We may be of two minds about a bonus for soldiers who are In good, health, but there can be but one opinion on care of disabled soldiers and that must be all in their favor. We need every cent of this $40,01)0 for this urgent necessity." We need you to put the Job over,"' said Dow V. Walker, adjutant-general of the campaign. "We have gone as far as we can and the group plan of recanvass seems the onjy solution." Isaac Staples and Felix Friedlander agreed to recanvass the jewelers in the endeavor to swell the total of subscriptions by that trade. A. E. Doyle, for the architects. agreed to lay the matter before the Architects' association and obtain more money for the chest. General Smith, at the conclusion of the meeting, announced himself as much encouraged because of the will- ngness of the various trades repre sented to comb their associations in business for chest funds. progress the women attended the home demonstration meeting at the commercial club rooms.
