There Is a general feclins; of unrest and discontent among; the Oregon dairymen, principally owinir to the failure of the rondenserics at Scio and Newberr. which places in Jeopardy nearly f 100.000 belonfrtnr to the dairy men. Closely follow Inn these fsilures came a notice from Oleblsch & Joplln. operating tha afcMlnnvtlln condeneery. that the price of milk had been cut 50 cents per 100 pounds, or rather notice waa a-lvert about a fortnight aro that such a cut would take place yesterday. And riant on the heels of that came a further notico Thursday this week that tha firm would hcrcaXter make parment but once a month, and then withhold li days pay. Thus the pay ment for February milk would be made on March Is. and so on through out tho year. Here are the two notices sent out by Uleblsch A. Joplln: SrMTVNVII.I.H, Or. Ken. 111.

The cist of the talks was for co-operation, and to that end R. N. Stanfleld. an Invited cuest. made a very pertinent rnit very brief talk. As short as It was.

Thla spirit of rn-operatlon and or. ranizatlon took hold of tho members and up ward a of SO of them, represent Ina more than SO0 cows, signed up as members of the Oregon Dairy Lesasrue. and there Is but llttS doubt that every dairyman In that section will soon be come a member of that organization.

U. Kline Says Suspension of Con dense rles Is Xot Fatal. There were two developments yes terday In the crisis which confronts Oregon's milk condenseries, both of which promise safeguards to the dairy industry, with some hope for resuscita tion of tho market for canned milk. Oregon's dairy herds need not suffer extinction. so lone as the present de mand for butter continues, with many creameries running; at much less than full capacity, declares Walter H. Kline, president of the Corvallls Commercial Club. Valley Condition Dlaraaaed. Mr. Kline sets forth the situation In his locality In a message to The Ore fronlan, here quoted: "Referring; to article In this morn ng's Orexonlan by W. D. B. Dodson that unlexs assistance was given milk condensers, the dairymen would be compelled to slaughter their herds: "The Corvallis creameries are fully equipped to handle six times their pres ent output of butter with an Increas ing; demand and are taking all cream offered and making prompt payments for same. The dairymen of tha Willamette Valley may rest assured that there is and will be a demand for their products even thouch the condensers should dis continue the manufacturing for the present. Co a RTrwtne a Appealed To, Secretary W. D..B. Dodson, of the Portland Chamber of Commerce, on Thursday telegraphed to the Orcfron delegation ln( Con-tress an urgent ap peal for any posslhlo relief from the Federal Oovernment for the milk con densing; firms, now burdened with max imum stocks of their products. It wss dim-loKed yesterday that the Federal food altnlttiMt ration of Oregon has been In full touch with the situation and lies elicited, a practicable suggestion for tho relief condensers seek move ment of their excesa stocks. A telegram from the offloe of Her bert Hoover. National Food Adminis trator, throws light on the causes for tha present lack of market for con densed milk and holds out hope) for the nrting or embargoes contributing to the dilemma. This messace, answering; In quiries of Administrator W. B. Aycr. follows-: "Umitaflon of ship rpare available for condensed milk due to British Min istry of Food taking- over all space and allocAtlon of same. Space allotted to condensed milk cannot be increased tin leas tonnage is increased. Food Ad ministration cannot extend financial aid to concerns, unable to resist In the competitive field. embargo Modi flee flow Sought. "An effort Is being; mads to have ex isting; embargoes on shipments to neu trals modified to relieve situation. In making public this Washing-ton dlnpati'h dealing with the crisis in the milk condensing Industry. W. K. New ell, assistant state food administrator, pointed out that there la no direct Fed eral control over output of the fac tories. Condensed milk has not been commandeerod for the feeding of the armies of tha United States and its allies as have been the stocks of canned salmon, fur instance, he declared. "The high prices to which condensed milk have been forced," said Mr. New ell, "have largely cut off home con sumption. This makes It necessary for the producers to turn to foreign mar kets, where their product would gladly be taken, despite the high cost. Unfor tunately, as the message from Mr. Hoover makes plain, British control of ill shipping going to Kngland and hranoe takes the matter of designating tho classes of foodstuffs that shall go across to those countries out of the hands of our own Government. I'alted States Practically Helpless. "Except as to embargoes, preventing shipment of condensed milk to neutral countries, our Government has little opportunity to evolve any measure of relief. Personally I hope this action will be taken at once and that it will be even more beneficial to the industry than now seems probable." At 10:30 o'clock this morning mem bers of the Oregon Dairymen's League will got together In a big meeting at the Central Library In Portland. While the dairymen have not always worked In full harmony with the condenaery interests. It Is believed they will take some cognisance of the conditions which threaten ruin for some of those Interests.

CHARGES FLY .THICKLY Labor TTnion Officials, Mayor and Councllmen Spend Day Railing at Each Other Fist Fight Is Xarrowly Averted. TACOMA, Wash.. March 1j (Special.) F. H. Pettlt. Commissioner of Public Safety, announced today that he would immediately file a libel suit for $50,000 against Mayor Fawcett. During the course of a battle In the council yester day, the Mayor charged that Pettlt had been caught with a woman on his lap lr). a questionable hotel when the police raided it several months ago. The al legation came after Commissioner Pet tlt had declared that he had an affi davit from Billie Walker, a woman pa tient at the city contagious hospital, that A. L. Fawcett, the Mayor's son, who Is superintendent of the institu tion, had attempted to coerce her. Mayor Fawcett had a stormy day to day. Commissioner H. F. Gronen de manded that a probe of conditions at the city hospital be made. The Mayor hotly retorted that he intended to in vestigate Pettit's action. "You will have plenty of chance," the latter replied, "to prove what you said. I will give you the opportunity." Later in the day a delegation of labor leaders called to make him retract the statement in which he said "they were dirty crooks working in the interest of Louis Bean." Bean is manager of the street railway company, the property of which the unions want purchased by the city. "You're a line example of a Mayor for a city the sise of Tacoma," said Joseph Lyons, secretary of the Central Labor Union. "I fought and bled for my country; that's more than you will ever do," screamed the Mayor. "You're a liar," shouted Lyons, "l took a physical examination for the army only this morning." Other members of the party stepped between the two and prevented a clash. Former Secrelary of Navy III. BOSTON" March 1. George Von L.
