Distributing: Iron and Steel
,. for War Work Federal
Agent Outlines Duties.
Iron and steel merchants, foundry
men. shipbuilders, junk and scrap deal
ers at a conference yesterday with
Emory E. Smith, of San Francisco,
member of the American Iron & Steel
Institute, and Federal commissioner for
the Pacific Coast district on scrap iron
and steel, pledged themselves to con
form strictly to the regulations im
posed by the Government to the end
that a maximum production of these
necessary materials may be assured
during the period of the war.
The meeting followed a luncheon at
the Chamber of Commerce, given under
the auspices of the United Metal Trades
Association. After the 50 men repre
senting the different branches of the
iron and steel trade had redeclared
themselves "heart, soul and pocketbook
with the President, his advisers and our
noble allies at war," Mr. Smith gave a
straight - from - the - shoulder business
talk, in which he plainly told his audi
tors what was expected of them by the
Government in the pending crisis.
Two Organizations Formed.
The outcome of the meeting was the
formation of two separate organiza
tions, representing respectively the
dealers and the consumers, as agencies
through which the production and dis
tribution of iron and steel to the best
possible advantage to the Government
will be guaranteed.
Mr. Smith did not mince words. He
plainly told the representatives of the
metal trades that further profiteering,
of which some had been guilty, must
cease immediately, and the prices fixed
by the President must be rigidly com
plied with. Failure on the part of any
dealer or producer to conform to the
prevailing fixed charges, which would
not be changed, he said, for at least
three months, would make the offender
subject to severe penalties, including
his elimination from business during
the war period.
"Due to a disposition on the part of
some dealers to profiteer in these nec
essary products, so essential to the
Government at this time," said Mr.
Smith, "the situation on the Pacific
Coast has reached a serious condition.
So serious has that situation become
that it is almost impossible for the
Government at times to get a necessary
supply for its urgent needs.
Co-operation Is Imperative.
"In the hope that the necessity for
the Government's taking over the con
trol of the iron and steel industries
may be averted, the American Iron &
Steel Institute has undertaken by regu
lation to insure for the Government a
steady and adequate supply of the raw
materials and finished products to meet
its needs. In order for this plan to be
a success, the co-operation of dealers
and consumers is imperative."
Mr. Smith explained that the plan
proposed that the needs of the Govern
ment first will be supplied, the re
quirements for private business enter
prises to be served from any surplus
that may remain. If it is found that
any dealer has on hand a stock of iron
or steel that is required for Govern
ment use. and he refuses to sell it to
the trade at the maximum price fixed
by the President. Mr. Smith informed
his hearers that the stock will be com
mandeered. Committees Are Named.
Later in the afternoon the dealers
met and organized by appointing the
following executive committee: J.
Barde. H. B. Davis and H. J.- "Wolff.
The consumers, at a separate meeting,
elected an executive committee consist
ing of Fred Hesse, Stanley Smith and
Harry Clark. Under the plan for co
ordinating the work of the metal
trades, foundries and scrap-iron deal
ers, these two committees are to adopt
a working agreement to be observed as
between the dealers and the consumers.
In addition, Mr. Smith, as Federal
commissioner, on his return to Portland
Monday, will appoint a committee of
probably five members. This commit
tee in turn will name one of its mem
bers to act as a member of Mr. Smith's
general committee at San Francisco.
The committee to be named by Mr.
Smith will act in an advisory capacity
and will hear and determine all ques
tions at issue arising from dealings be
tween the dealers and the consumers
locally. On a presentation of the facts
invojveu 1 il iiitsse cuuiroversies, jvir.
Smith, as commissioner, will make rul
ings which will be binding on the
trade.

pieces of charcoal (about as bis: as a
walnut) to make a top layer, then put
on a closely-fitting: lid and seal the
crock with a strip of cloth dipped in
paraffine or with adhesive plaster.
Store in a cool cellar. Do not use too
large a crock, so that you will not have
enough to spoil before it is used when
you open it. The butter must be very
firmly packed, leaving no air spaces.
Some housewives add one-third tea
spoon soda to every two or three pounds
of butter when resalting it Tor packing:.
Another old-fashioned plan suitable
for a less good quality of butter Is to
clarify it by simmering it slowly for
several hours in an iron kettle. This
will sometimes (but not always) re-
jpfove a "strong" flavor. When all the
water has boiled away and the sedi
ment at the bottom is just browning.
it is cooled slightly, strained through
a double cloth, and put up in jars.
Butter clarified in this way. how
ever, has a granular consistency that
makes it unfit for table use, though a
friend told me last Winter that she had
succeeded . in "merging" clarified but
ter of this kind with warm milk (using
an egg beater), and -that when thor
oughly chilled the merged butter had a
texture suitable for table use.
Possibly some reader may know of
other and improved methods or preserv
ing butter. .

evening that he was the Innocent cause

The officer was delegated bv the
Chief of Police to accompany C. C. Cox
to the meeting at the request of the
tatter's wife. Cox being a prisoner in
the cjty Jail, where he is serving a term
for bootlegging following a recent tlea
of guilty. When they entered the re
vival tent the officer seated himself at
the end of the plank next to Cox, the
latter, however, sitting inside the seat
support and the officer outside. Prompt
ed by his wife. Cox arose with the
others on that particular seat at the
proper time, but Hennlnger being a
little rusty on his campmeeting eti
quette, failed to stand. With the weight
of the others lifted, the officer's 260
pounds sent the plank high In the air,
while he rolled in the sawdust. The
plank fell back with a noisy clatter and
the officer, scrambling about In the
sawdust, was the center of all eyes.
He recovered himself quickly, however,
and the meeting went on. but it was
some time before the minister was able
to get the undivided attention of his
hearers.
"I've been a cop a good many years,
but never before did I have the job of
taking a bootlegger to a revival meet
ing," said Hennlnger. "No wonder some
thing happened. I'm surprised that the
tent didn't fall down."

preserve butter for Winter use?
YOUNG HOUSEWIFE.'
If you have a good, cool cellar you
can put up butter that will keep in
fairly good condition for Winter use.
The following method was eiven me
by a Wisconsin housekeeper, who said
she had kept butter "in good condition
until late Spring." But then. vou
know, they have natural cold storage
in Wisconsin in Winter time: so in
Oregon the results might not be quite
so gooa.
Packed butter for Winter use Work
and wash the butter to extract all pos-
sioie buttermilk and salt. Use a wood
en butter paddle. Then resalt it and
pack as closely as possible into a crock
lined with cheesecloth that has been
dipped in strong brine and sprinkled
with salt so that the pores of the fabric
are all full of salt.
Have the ends of the cheesecloth long
enough to hang over the sides. When
the crock is nearly full fold over the
ends of cheesecloth on top so that the
butter is completely covered by sev
eral layers of it. On top of this place
