Step
Taken Toward Settle
ment of Differences That
' Brought Walkout.
AP.FEAL MADE TO HOUSER
Conference or All Parties Interested
. Results in Compromise Pro
posal, With Arbitration
a& Final Recourse.
Acceptance of & scale of '75 cents an
hour, straight time, and $1.15 an hour
cvertime, an advance from 70 cents and
M-05, as paid now, with the provision
'that a board of arbitration decide as to
the demand for 80 cents straight time
and $1.20 overtime, is a proposal made
i to the Grain Handlers Union by em
1 plovers which is to be submitted to the
union members at a meeting- tonig-ht.
The step toward ending- the walkout
of last week, which brought an em
bargo on wheat shipments from the
country to the docks affected, was
taken at a conference yesterday be
tween President Penny, Business Agent
Cronze and three other union repre
sentatives and I. C Sanford, of the
Northern Grain & Warehouse Company;
Peter Kerr, of Kerr, Gifford & Co.
end Max H. Houser, United States Grain
Commissioner in the Northwest. j
Mr. Houser had been appealed to by
the dock owners and operators because ,
of the urgency for moving wheat on
vessels of the new fleet as well as re
ceiving shipments for storage from
the interior. Mr. Houser's efforts re
sulted in the offer of the temporary
wage scale, with the understanding it
will be retroactive if the men return to
their employment at once.
The union representatives hoped that
an adjustment could be brought about
that would restore normal conditions
on the docks immediately. The grain
men, while wishing to keep the cereal
movement under way, are concerned as
well in obtaining more ships than have
been allotted as a means of getting
grain away by water to relieve the
railroad congestion.
That failure to settle the differences
would result in Portland being placed
in an embarrassing situation with the
Government is pointed out by the em
ployers, who say as well that an ad
justment insures much more grain be
ing floated, as negotiations are on to
obtain the assignment of more steamers.
The men have been working since
July for 70 cents straight time and
31.05 overtime, and say that at Astoria
80 cents an hour is being paid, and on
Puget Sound, where the scale has been
reported as 65 cents, as high as 75
cents is being received. For that rea
son, they declare, Portland wages
should be advanced.

At the South Portland plants of the
Northwest Steel Company and the Columbia
River Shipbuilding Corporation garages have
been built for the care of a number of
cars and more facilities are to be provided.
The Columbia River plant has one located
on the hill in- the rear of the property
and the Northwest Steel Company Is pre
paring to arrange space in a ravine west
of the yard for the accommodation of cars
of employes. In that way it is hoped to
prevent congestion on the pavement leading
to the plants.
Members of the Oregon Wood Ship
builders' Association, which includes yards
on the lower river, at Tillamook and Coos
Bay, as well as the Portland establish
ments, will meet at 6:30 o'clock tonight
at the Multnomah Hotel and will have as
their guests representatives of the wooden
ship division of the Emergency Kleet Cor
poration. The association was formed last
month and is now preparing to undertake
important work for the advancement of the
wood ship Industry of the state and North
west. Formal exercises are to be held this
afternoon when the first of two new ways
at the yard of the Columbia River Ship
building Corporation Is utilized in the lay
ing of a keel. The second ways are to be
occupied shortly and from then on the five
berths are to be kept going to the maxi
mum. From San Francisco comes a story that
tanks from the steamer F. A. Kilburn,
wrecked on the Atlantic Coast not long ago,
floated seaward and were mistaken by the
gun crews of three Yankee ships, which
scored hits in their intensive shooting on
the belief that the tanks were U-boats.
The Kilburn operated between Portland and
San Francisco, as well as to intermediate
ports, for a lengthy period. .

WASHINGTON STATE COLLEGE. Pull
man, Sept. 30. (Special.) Wheat growers
of Washington will be urged to do their
part to help reduce the nation's smut-loss
of wheat in a vigorous seed-treating cam
paign which is to be started Immediately in
all wheat-producing sections of this state
under the direction of George L. Zundel,
Federal field assistant In cereal disease con
trol for the Department of Agriculture.
Additional help will.be given by Field As
sistants W. F. Xehriing and W. E. Green,
the entire campaign to be conducted under
the co-operative auspices of the extension
service of the State College, and the United
States office of cereal investigations, Waah
Incton. D. C.
Mr. Zundel states that everywhere the
early fall sowings suffered the least from
smut. Counts made from the smut trapped
In the spore traps this summer will show
precisely the prevalence of the wind-blown
summer smut shower throughout the state,
which data will be submitted to wheat
growers throughout the state for their help.
"It is vital that people realize at once the
vast Importance of the annual American
smut -loss to the bread supply of the world."
states Mr. Zundel. "By their loyal use of
substitutes housewives and bakers generally
will this year save no more wheat than
was sacrificed to smut."
Citing from the observations In a thousand
Washington wheat fields the past growing
and harvesting season, Mr. Zundel says that
he and those helping him found smut prev
stent in many fields In percentages running
from 50 to 97 per cent of the standing or
hocked grain.
