Women Enter 7th Day In Air Grain Dealers of Portland Area Refuse to Reduce Their Charges PORTLAND, Ore., Aug. 20 (V-Arguing that their discount and smut ting charges are equitable and fair, grain dealers of the Portland area. In a meeting here Friday with grow ers, refused to reduce the charges or agree to a sliding scale based upon the fluctuation of the price of grain. Max Gehlhar, state director of ag riculture, who called the meeting In an attempt to bring dealers and growers into agreement, said he will wait for the growers to determine their next step, and no formal In vestigation Into the controversy will be made until he determines the au thority or the .department of agri culture. The growers, represented by James K. Hill, Roy W. Rltner and Carl Eng dabl. all lof Pendleton and Charles W. Smith, county agent at Heppner, Insisted that discounts on the lower grades of wheat are the same during Blistering Sun In England With Mercury At 99 Twenty-One Persons Die; Because of Heat; Today Cooler But Still Swel tering in Britain. LONDON, Aug. 20 Wl -'A blister ing sun arose over England again to day following a scorching yesterday which smashed heat records and to which was attributed the deaths of 31 persons. The death toll Included three sui cides, six drownings, and a dozen other fatalities. Yesterday's high tem perature was 99, nearly an all-time record. This morning it was ten de grees cooler, but a city unaccustomed to such high temperatures still swelt ered. Thousands sought relief at seaside resorts, and the Thomas embankment became a fashionable promenade last night Instead of the haunt of the homeless, as It usually Is. Ice cream supplies were exhausted early In the day. Even the beer at the pubs" was put on ice, which Is against all British beer-drinking tradition. The sky was cloudless again this morning and another roasting was promised. Hundreds slept through the night outdoors. The pllota of night planea arriving here from the continent said the heat was as great at an altitude of 2,000 feet as It was on the ground. . Even the Bank of England lssuea an order that clerks working In any place where they did not come Into contact with the public might re move their coats. It was the first time In its loug history the "old lady of Thread needle street" unbent sartorlal- ly. - ' THREE DEATHS IN FRANCE NANTES, Prance, Aug. 20 VP) The loss of three Uvea was charged' against the prevailing heat wave in Prance today. . Authorities said the sudden sinking of a sand barge near here In which three persons were lost 'was believed to have been due' to the planks being sprung by the heat and admitting water after the barge, .was loaded. Grouse Season Opens -Hunters Say "Too Early" That grouse season opened too early Is the opinion of several hunters who were out at the crack of dawn this morning to take advantage of the first day's hunting after the opening of the season. . Many La Gcanders "took to the hills" In the early hours and many returned with' the limit. Oscar Poarch stated that It was possible for him to kill seven or eight grouse which be saw this morning but they were too small, being able to fly only 25 or. 30 yards to H$rt In a tree, while others were so young they were able to fjy only between 60 and 76 feet. Jtfr. Poarch returned with two birds. Frank Brooks, O. B. Davis and Cecil Ager also reported excellent hunting in Iadd Canyon. It seems to be the general concen sus, of local sportsmen that the sea son has opened too early, particularly with the grouse diminishing In num mera rapidly In this district.

He died yesterday In a hospital at Hood River. He had been robbed of $130, a check for $39 and his wntch. depression times as during war times when wheat sold for (2 a bushel, or nearly four times as much as now. They cited discounts at Portland of 13 cents a bushel from wheat selling for 37 cents at Pendleton. Similarly, they contended, smutting charges are on a war-time basis. A further point of contention of fered by the growers was that while the state law sets the price basis as 58-lb. wheat, the dealers do not rec ognize It. This means, they declared, that they receive the same price for their 60-1 b. wheat that other growers get for 58 pounds. Portland was said to be the only major grain market in the nation quoting wheat prices on the basis of No. 1 wheat weigh ing 60 pounds.

' RESULTS AFFECT U. S. AND RUSSIA To' Offset Possible Losses, .British Vision American . Benefit From Brighter Outlook. ' ' -! By Frank I. Weller ' (Associated Press Staff Writer) OTTAWA. Ont., Aug. 30 (ffV-The curtains fell on the Imperial trade conference here today and. as the delegates from the countries of Brit ain's far-flung empire hustled for home, the results of the month or bickering appeared to fall chiefly up on Russia and the United States. The chief results were: 1. An agreement that Great Brit ain will bar the sale of Russian or other goods In the United Kingdom at less than world prices. 2. Trade preference pacts which will mean an estimated loss of 000,000 a year to the United States in sales of Iron and steel products to enrplre countries, particularly Can ada; as well as the loss of an inde terminate amount of textile business, British Suggest Bright O lit look - Aa an offset to this, the empire spokesman suggested, the United States, which sold the British Em plre $1,100,000,000 worth of goods last year In spite of depressed conditions, had reason to be gratified because the ;way i to prosperity was paved for one fourth of the world's population. The trade preference pacts signed here today, they said, would set in motion an 'accumulation of goods representing the. economic fortune of 60,0,000- people, and as- the- aba ity of these millions to buy improves their ability to take a larger share of world products would increase. - For the moment, It was said, the success of these trade pacts might entail hardships on some United States Industries. But they Insisted the ultimate expected upturn might more than compensate for It. Five-Year Plan The general basis of the agreements la a 'five-year plan and they may be terminated after that length of time on six months notice. - Prime Minister Bennett was quoted as saying Canada had won her major point that trade preferences granted her In British markets be guaranteed by protection against state-controlled competition, chiefly Russian "dumpl ing." Among the British representatives, however, there was a divided opinion on the results as , they concerned Oreat Britain herself. Malcolm Mac Donald, son of the British prime minister, said the Brit ish delegation felt the conference had made definite accomplishments, al though no group had realized the (Continued on Page Four) Hohson To Coach At South Oregon PORTLAND, Aug. 20 VP) Howard Hobson, who during his two years aa athletic director at Benson Tech here, developed outstanding basketball and baseball teams, announced Friday that he haa accepted the position of di rector of physical education and head athletic coach at Southern Oregon Normal at Ashland.
