THE 3TORXTXG OSEGOXIAX. SATTJKDAT, SEPTEMBER 22, 1917. A conference of millers and grain dealers was held yesterday in the of fice of T. B. Wilcox, president of the Portland Flouring- Mills Company, to discuss the question of wheat and flour prices, and to establish the relation ship between the manufacturers and dealers under the operations of the new Federal food law. A number of differences and misun derstandings have existed, and an ef fort was made to smooth out these dif ficulties and harmonize the workings of both branches of the trade. A wide range of technical matters, including the differentials between sack and built grain prices and the discounts that should prevail on wheat below No. 4 grade, for which discounts were not provided in the grain law, were dis cussed, but it was announced at the close of the meeting- that no decisions were reached on these or any other natters. 31 111 ere and Dealers Apart. There seemed to be a conflict of opinion between the millers and the dealers as to how to proceed under the rulings of the food administration, but it is believed the disputed points will be settled during the coming weelc o grain buying and milling can pro ceed without interruption. It was pointed out that the -course Of flour and mil! feed prices will de pend entirely on the action to be taken by Mr. Hoover and the President in re gard to the protest of Pacifie Coast grain men against the wheat price es tablished for this section. There has already been a decline of tl a barrel in flour prices and 13 a ton in mlllfeed prices, but it is declared that if the heat basis to Northwestern farmers 1s raised, a corresponding advance In Clour and mlllfeed prices will follow. A number of out-of-town millers and nearly all the local grain dealers took part in the conference. Most of the visiting millers left for their homes last night. TONGS NOW DESIRE PEACE Indictments, However, Not Likely to Bo Dismissed. Representatives of the rival tongs represented in Portland's Chinese pop ulation have been intimating to Dis trict Attorney Evans a desire that the pending blanket Indictments under which about 18 members of the dif ferent organizations are being held In the county jail shall be dismissed. Since the peace compact was entered into a few weeks ago and hostilities abandoned, most of the leaders have shown an Inclination to bury the hatchet. District Attorney Evans said yes terday, however, that the indictments would not be dismissed, at least as to all of the men now detained. Arrange ments probably will be made today by which the indicted tone members will be released on bonds. OFFICER SUES COMPANY Misrepresentation of Financial Con dition Is Charged.
