MILLERS' MARKET SUFFERS Much Discrimination Charged and This Appears Inevitable; Satis factory Results Unlikely. OREGOXIAX NEWS BUREAC, Wash ington. Oct. 27. Observation of the practical working f price-fixing by . ine uovernmrni awa nui bcciu w made a very favorable Impression on the members of the Oregon delegation. and the impression is getting steadily morse since Government officials them aelves have begun flndtng fdult with the result attained. Dissatisfaction first arose among the grain farmers, against whom there was discrimination, for the Government established a price for wheat far below market value, but left cotton un touched, even when cotton growers were getting fabulous prices and the Government was. in proportion, about as large a buyer of cotton as of wheat. Cotton, of course, is exclusively a prod uct of that part of the country which is solidly aligned with the party in power. But the dissatisfaction did not rest with the farmers alone, nor was it confined to grain farmers. In fact, the grain farmers, it appears, would have approved without protest a price fixed by a body upon which they had fair representation, provided the price fixing policy had been extended to products they buy as well as to those they sell. Millers' Market Curtailed. The grain growers of the Pacific Northwest were fairly well satisfied, for in the fixing of basic prices and freight rates they secured a small ad vantage. But this advantage soon !worked to the disadvantage of the mili ars, who. paying a relatively higher price than was paid in sections of country with which they competed the selling of flour, found their market curtailed. It was in connection with this phase of the wheat and flour market that the Government first saw the error of its own price-fixing policies. Members of the Senate and House, from both Ore gon and Washington, laid before the "ood Administration the complaints of 'orth Pacific millers, and replies to these complaints were made from time to time by the Grain Corporation, wnicn Is a branch of the Food Admin l.-tration. The latest, and one that hows some Impatience, is addressed to Congressman Nicholas J. Sinnott, who had submitted the complaint of a large milling concern in his great grain-growing district. Grata Administrator Tired. "It really is hard to answer all the letters trom these millers." says the grain administrator, who intimates that agreement upon "certain formulae' night simplify the problem "instead of continuing the correspondence." He says: "Last year, tinder controlled distri bution and operation of mills, the Pa cific Coast ground 110 per cent of its former three-year average, while the rest of the country ground only 90 per cent, and the flour production this Sear, as to North Pacific mills, is run ning even heavier than last year, so mat miureea is being produced In the North Pacific section at a rate higher than ever before. "Last year a limited supply, with the utilization of every bushel of It. was not sufficient to run the mills of the whole country, even to their three year average. We were able to take every pound of flour produced by these mills, whether hard or soft, that the domestic market did not absorb. This year the amount of flour we can deliver our allies abroad is limited not only by the shipping in sight, but also by port facilities here and abroad, where labor conditions have become steadily worse, and also by the demonstrated need of ur allies for some dairy feed, them selves, for they have dairy herds also htch must be considered. The mills f the rest of the country also have a right to be considered in the export flour business, and we have tried to be fair to these mills and to the Pacific CoasL- Action Declared Justified. Those four propositions are all that the grain administrator assumes the millers will agree upon. He asserts that the Food Administration has bought more heavily than last year of North Pacific flour for export: that although there is some basis for the complaint that the Food Administration pays a uniform price for flour made from hard and from soft wheat, yet the Food Administration is Justified by the fact that some countries prefer the flour made from soft wheat, which Americans consider inferior, and that part of the apparent scarcity of dairy feed is due to the desire to buy mill feed, which is the cheapest, whereas there Is an abundance of harloy in Cali fornia. Montana and the Dakotas. It is in this last reference to prices that the grain administrator once more shows the failure of the policy of price fixing. Not only did the price-fixers curtail the normal market of the North Pacific millers, but by establishing an artificial price for millfeed they cre ated an abnormal demand, which cur tailed the market for barley. Dairy men paid feed prices not counter-balanced by increased prices for their products. ' While not condemning price-fixing as a failure, the -grain administration is furthering the conviction that this new Governmental function will be so fre quently influenced by sectiona! inter ests and that satisfactory results can not De expected. TAMA REGISTRY PLACE ADMIRAL LIXK SHIPS WILL HAIL FROM PACIFIC. I'aclfio Steamship Company Now Owns and Controls 46 Craft, , Eight in Far F.a.-trrn Trade. TACOMA. Wash.. Oct. 27. (Special.) Hereafter every ship of the Admiral line will carry the name of Tacoma as its place of registry and home port. That announcement waa made by 11. K. Alexander, president of the Pacific Meamship Company, as a tribute to his home city. Heretofore the vessels of the Pacific-Alaska Navigation Com pany, the original Admiral Line, were registered from Portland. Me., where the concern was first formed. Others lnre the port of New York as place uf registry. Approximately 20 vessels, owned and under charter, will be trans ferred to this port. The first Vessels to have Tacoma inscribed on them are the Admiral Mayo, which said for the Far East today; Admiral Sthley. Ad miral Kvans and Admiral Watson. Mr. Alexander announced the charter today of the barks George Curtis, now discharging salmon at Tacoma. and the Oriental at Seattle: the full power motor ship Libby Maine, and W. F.

The city of St. Helens will build a municipal dock. At the last city elec tion, the Question was voted on and re ceived a majority vote. Bonds to the amount of J5900 will be issued to pro vide for the building of the dock, and the council has advertised for bids for a SOxTO dock, with a 200-foot roadway. The dock is to be built at the foot of sit. Helens street which is about the center of the city. It is not expected that any difficulty will be encountered in securing a per mit from the War Industries Board .as the dock will provide a landing place for 600 shipyard workers. The docks now used are private property and if the owners saw fit. the public could be barred from their use. PASSES GENERALLY DEXIED Launching Quiet These Days to Minimize Spread of Influenza. Precautions against Spanish influ enza are responsible for a greater re strlction against the issuance of passes to shipyards. At two launcnings Sat urday there was a ban against passes to outsiders and not even the bands played as usual. Noontime meetings of all kinds have been done away with at the plants, even though they have been held in the open. Cases of sickness reported in shipyards are said to be more frequent among men in shops and not with those engaged in actual assembling of ma terial on hulls in the open. Managers of yards feel that the situation is be ing taken care of as well as possible, considering that hundreds of men must be more or less in cmpany at times during the day. Lumber Cargo Off for Argentina. TACOMA, Wash. Oct. 26. (Special.) Carrying a cargo of 840.000 feet of lumber, the Norwegian schooner J. W. Clise, cleared last night for Buenos Aires.

SPEAKERSHIP FIGHT BETWEEN TWO IVIEI. Robert Grass, Seattle; Fred Adams, Spokane, in Race. PIERCE COUNTY IS DIVIDED Opposition to Grass in King County Delegation Slay Be Due to His) Sympathy With "Cow" Counties. SEATTLE. Oct. 27. (Special.) Though there is a week to go before members of the next Legislature will be actually elected, the fight for Speaker of the next House Is. so well under way that It appears probable the contest will narrow down to a fight be tween Robert Grass, of Seattle, and Fred Adams of Spokane. In the speakership gossip the names of E. H. Guie and Pliny L. Allen, of Seattle, George McCoy of Vancouver and one or two others have been men tloned. - But Grass has a good work ing majority of the King County dele gation and most of the West Side pledges that have been given are made out in Grass's favor. Odds are that at least one of his King County rivals, if not both, will be out of the fight after election. In eastern Washington, Adams de feated L. L. Westfall for control of the Spokane delegation by a single vote and the campaign in Adams's behalf has been made in favor of an East Side candidate, the preliminary effort being to line up Eastern Washington by that appeal. Adams has all the better of it on the East Side, but he has not yet obtained the solid support of that sec tion. Even if he should, he could only muster 36 or 87 votes, as one figures it, and there are 97 members of the House, requiring 49 to control. Pierce County Badly Spilt. Two years ago virtually all the King County House members supported Guy Kelly, of Tacoma, for Speaker. There is little likelihood that Pierce County will reciprocate next January for Pierce is split this time worse than King County ever was. Kelly will not go back to the House and even if he did it is probable he would fall down in any effort to control his delegation. Both Grass and Adams have some Pierce county support, though an earlier effort was made to line-up some of it for Guie. If the fight gets down to a contest between Adams and Grass it is probable the Guie votes would be thrown to the Spokane man. Whether an even break in Pierce could be arranged is a matter of pure specu lation for nobody actually knows. Kelly began In the speakership fight by keeping his hands jff, but recently there have been indications that he is supporting Adams. Sims Supports Grass. E. A. Sims, former Republican floor leader In the House, is actively sup porting Grass's speakership fight. Though he frequently has declared he would retire from politics and even now is handling a big copper mine near Index, Sims has kept in remark ably close touch with state affairs and correspondence with legislative nominees shows that his influence in Grass's behalf has been carrying great deal of weight. Grass has been a member of the House during the past three sessions, while Adams has only one session to his credit. Both were members of the rules committee two years ago. Grass has profited in Western Washington by his sympathy as a legislator with the so-called "cow counties" and it may be that some of the opposition he en countered in the King County delega tion was due to this attitude. Chief Clerk Maybury to Return, Charles R. Maybury, chief clerk of the House since 1913, has finally ob tained leave of absence from the Norway-Pacific Drydock and Construc tion Company with which he now is associated, and probably will be elected chief clerk again as no opposition to him' has appeared. He is trying to In duce A. W. ("alder, of Vancouver, for mer assistant chief clerk, to drvp his ship yard work for a couple of months and return to legislative duties. Calder is balking, but strong efforts will be made to induce him to go to Olympia for the session. Frank Dallam. Jr., former secretary of the Senate, now is with the Ameri can Army In France and there is a lively fight on for secretary. More ac- tual pledges of support have beer, given Victor Zednick, former represen tative, than for "any of the other can didates for secretary, but the fight is not yet settled. The most serious rival Zednick has is O. L. Stone, of Olympia. a former Senate employe who has agreed to go to France soon in Y. M. C. A. service. PRESIDKXT'S ACT IS DEPLORED Coos Bay Lender Points to Record of Republican Parly. BY CHARLES HALL. Banker. Marshfield. MARSHFIKLD, Or.. Oct. 2. (Spe cial.) I was shocked on reading the almost unbelievable statement of Presi dent Wilson advisjng votes for Demo cratic aspirants to office. Records dis close support of Republicans on all Ad ministration war measures were more ready than from members of his own party. This adherence to party politics when "politics is adjourned" is discon certing, to say the least. The direct, eloquent and convincing manner in which tne resicent an swered the Kaiser's government ask ing for an armistice is a source of pride and satisfaction to all loyal Americans. That this universal confidence should be so shaken by the President descend ing to partisan politics in so short 31 space of time is regrettable. REPUBLICANS FEELING SURE Substantial Majority Expected for Ticket in Columbia County. ST. HELENS, Or., Oct. 7. (Special.) Indications are that the entire Re publican county and state ticket will receive a substantial majority in Co lumbia County, with the possible ex ception of tho county judgeship. For this ofTice there are three aspirants, Martin White. Republican; W. J. Ful lerton. Democrat, and George Conyers, who is running as an independent. Mr. Conyers is also a Republican and lives in Clatskanie. It is probable the vote will be so badly eplit that Fuller ton will slip in. At any rate, the result is very uncertain.

The speaker of the House, Champ Clark; the Demo cratic floor leader, Claude Kitchin; the Democratic chairman of the Military Affairs Committee, Mr Dent; all op posed the President in this piece of legislation. "Democratic leaders refused to fol low the President's lead and the duty devolved upon Republicans to take up the burdens of the Administration. "By their fruits ye shall know them.' PHONETIPS OFF "BROTHER" POLICEMAN" IXVITED TO TALK OVER DRAFT LAW'S. Patrolman Irvln Keeps Appointment and Arrests Ten Persons on i Charges of Conspiracy. Poor telephone service was directly responsible for the arrest of 10 mem bers of the religious society known as the "Brothers of Jesus," now held by the Federal authorities on a charge of conspiring to evade the draft. Central "went to sleep one day last week and rang Patrolman Irvin's tele Dhone when one of the "brothers" had asked for a different number. Brother Dostoskl?" queried a voice when the policeman answered. "What the " gasped the patrolman. "The brothers will have a meeting at 3S3M East Pine street tonignt, ano some of the faithful will discuss meas ures for evading the draft," the voice continued. "Will you come?" "Sure I will!" agreed the policeman heartily. And he did. He took the lib erty of inviting some of his friends in. the Police Bureau. The discussion of the "Brothers of Jesus" was thus in terrupted. And the police have added to their proverbs a line which runs something like thiB: "She also serves who rings the wrong number sometimes."
