Newspaper Page TextTIIE MORNIXG OREGONIANv SATURDAY, 31 AT 1, 1920 PTnnr nr nnrnn ultliriL Ur DfliVCnD IS PROBABLE TODAY Bread Supply May Be Cur tailed if Walkout Lasts. $1 MORE IS DEMANDED Workers Secui to Think Fishing Weather Has Arrived and They Will Take Vacations. Because the contract between the maater. bakers of the city and the union organization of baker employes expired last night and no agreement of the bakers was expected today. Portland may shortly be without its daily bread. While no strike has been called, so far as could be de termined' last night, the union bakers seemed unanimous In the opinion that wonderful fishing weather is at band and that a vacation would not go amiss. Am today is Saturday and a short day at the bakeries, a walkout would have little effect on the sit uation, but should it continue over Sunday it was declared it would greatly hamper the local bakeries and cut down the production of bread to a large extent. Sunday is a heavy day in preparation for the Monday morning deliveries. The union bakers, it was under stood, have been working on a scale providing for a minimum of 536 a week and $38 a week for foremen, and are demanding an increase of $1 a day in the new contract. This would bring the scale to $42 and $44 a week. There is no disagreement over the length of the working day, It is said, the eight-hour day being agreeable to both sides. The union men are also contending for the- closed shop, it is said, while the master bakers have open-shop inclinations. Representatives of the union and of the Master Bakers' association held a number of conferences yesterday, but up to a late hour lst night were unable to reach an agreement. It was declared a strike could not be called at this time according to union rules, as the matter has not been con sidered by the higher labor officers, but the bakers, a considerable num ber of whom were at the union head quarters at room 408 Panama build ing yesterday, made no effort to con ceal the fact that they were serious ly considering "fishing trips" and other vacation plans for today and possibly for several days to come, SPOKANE DEMANDS REJECTED Strike Threatened Because of Re fusal to Give $1 a Day Rise. SPOKANE. Wash., April 30. Six bakeries of this city employing nearly 100 men today were reported to have rejected demands of the bakers' union for a wage increase of $1 a day, ef fective tomorrow. The business agent of the union declared no union men would go to. work tomorrow unless the demand was met before that time. Wage demands of Beveral other unions of this city, effective tomor row, were declared, not to have been ' granted. Reed Chapel-Goers Treated to Unusual Music. Phonograph Neatly Ridden Be hind ' Organ IMpea. Interrupts and Surprises Speaker at Aoon Exerclaes by Rendering. "Turkey In the Straw." TURKEY IN THE STRAW s played by a jazzy phonograph, -neatly hidden away behind the organ pipes in the Reed college chapel, Fri day noon, startled and then con vulsed with laughter Reed chapel goers. A crowd of students were at tracted to the services by a notice of special music on the bulletin board but the "hoe-down" melody breaking in on the speaker was an extra' musical surprise furnished by some playful student who will be given a chance to play off the campus if he Is caught. Investigation located the phono graph as one belonging to the Reed power plant, used by the engineers to cheer the evening hours. The ma chine and one record were taken rfom the plant early Friday morning "Pretty Baby" was the selection on the side of the record which the ma chine neglected to play. When the strains of the famous jig" floated into the chapel, stu dents and faculty sat up with broad grins, remembering the time, perhaps. wnen ur. j'oster was greeted one morning with a series of alarm-clock explosions during his entire address. Miss r,isa Gill, chapel speaker, weath ered the storm in spite of the jovial ity or her audience. Whoever turned the trick entered the chapel through a rear entrance and escaped unnoticed after setting the machine going. It is thought someone was celebrating the return of the long-lost senior gowns, which were sent back the first of the week. alter Delng missing two years. YOUTH SENT FROM CITY Alleged Confession of Theft From Benefactor Causes Action.

McCar thy had declined to prosecute him. Barnum also is said have admitted that, to cover up liis own crime, after McCarthy had detected him, he went to the police and reported that Mc Carthy had attacked and robbed him of several dollars. The police first arrested McCarthy, but quizzed both men until Barnum broke down and made the alleged confession. Captain . circle tooK Barnum before the assem bled inspectors and ordered the sleuths to arrest him as a vagrant if they ever met him within the limits of Portland.

DEALERS IN FURS STILL OPTIMISTIC Decline at New York Sale Not Taken Seriously. MOLESKINS HIT HARDEST Excessive Snpply of This" Article and. Overspeculation at Former ' Sales Cause Present Dull. Notwithstanding some recession of prices it the New York fur auction, dealers are as optimistic as ever and state emphati cally that the sound condition of the trade is enabling most dealers to hold their of- ferinrs If the prices bid are not satisfac tory, it la estimated that about 60 per cent of the - skins offered have been brought back to be held until the market shows signs of recovery. Numerous reasons have been ' given for the -conditions not only in the American market, but- throughout . principal foreign markets. The .ist of these cites the sur plus accumur ..ion of skins such as moles created by the heavy demand in past sea sons, when it became profitable for the trappers to cet skins to sell at increasing prices. In the case of mote skins, consid ered the weakest article on the market at the present time, such a demand boosted prices from 10c and higher. The markets were flooded with skins, so prices today are on a downward path. Owing to the vast amount of mole skins used in the ('manufacture of coats, if there should be a call In the next few weeks mole stocks will be consumed owlns to prevailing low prices. Overspeculation at recent sales has also tne prwat temporary lull. Dealers doing business on comparative small capital in the past have found It extremely hard to finance business under present financial stress, and in many cases banks aro .forcing them to liquidate, thereby throwing stocks upon the market at a sac rifice. These cases are not considered ex- tensive, but are sufficient to bring about demoralization. & locks in tne primary markets through out England, Australia and Canada are Ported very low. It is said the market in Vladivostok a. few months ago .experi enced such keen buying that there were at least ten buyers to every skin. . The pro duction of fur in Russia has practically been discontinued, not only on account of a diminishing demand, but on account of difficulties and uncertainties in trading. Staple articles are showing greater ac tivity than fancy lines.- The .rata of ex change has caused favorable conditions for importation of goods. Active bidding on Australian skins is expected. COK.

POOLED STOCKS DECLINE PARTIAL RALLY AT EXD WITH SHORT COVERING. Federal Reserve Board Continues Its Policy of Contracting Cred itsMoney JVateV I'irm. Is'EW YORK. April SO, The stock mar ket experienced its tenth consecutive re versal today, tomorrow's recess for "mov ing day," with its possible disturbances, provoking additional professional selling pressure. There were other unfavorable develop ments, however, including furtber signs that the federal reserve board is continu ing its firm policy of contracting credits by all the means at its command. The end of the fourth month found the local money market almost absolutely bare of time funds, while call loans rose from 8 to 15 per cent, easina to 12 per cent in the final dealings. Foreign exchange was reactionary, the break in sterling bills being ascribed to heavy offerings of London bills by ex porters to meet maturities in this market. Iradlng In stocks was smller than on ny previous day of the week. Extreme declines of 2 to 10 points in the various pooiea snares, notably Steels, equipments, motors and oils, were largely recovered at the end, short covering accelerating the rally.

BUYING FLURRY IN GORN SHORTS WAIT UXTIIi liAST MIXUTE TO COVER. May Delivery Climbs to Xew High Record Prices of YearOats Also at Top Mark. CHICAGO, April 30. Corn for May de livery, climbed today to new high-record prices of the year. The chief reason was difficulty which shorts experienced in get ting grain to fulfill contracts. The mar ket closed unsettled, 2c to 5Vic net high er, with May $L7T to $L7S and July $1.65 fl.to'i. Oats gained tto to lic and provisions 12c to 4oc It was the last day ' that unlicensed dealers were allowed the privilege of maintaining open -trades in the May de livery and there were numerous shorts in the corn market who in the hope that prices would decline took long chances by waiting till tbe exchange session was nearly over. The result was a buying flurry at the finish, with a 3-cent jump of quota tions inside of a few minutes. Oats reached the topmost prices ever known for May delivery, $1.01 ft. Provisions were lifted by tbe strength of grain. The Chicago market letter received yes terday by Overbeck & Cooke company of Portland sajd: Corn After an irregular market, most .!at lh &ue&Ui deveiSJisd UtKftTiU the close under tbe stimulus of a strong cash market and a display of tighteness in tbe May delivery. Aside from the unsettled financial condition, to which attention was being called in numerous messages from the east, the news of the day was against a decline; offerings in Chicago were prac tically nil; tbe strike situation growing worse instead of better and climatie con ditions against the progress of agriculture I in general. It would seem from the ac tion of the market that advocates of lower prices have based too much hope on the money stringency, which fails as a factor at the moment, for the reason that stocks are not heavy enough to be burdensome. We expect the advancing tendency to con tinue until the tension in the cash market is relieved by better distribution. Oats This market was compelled: to di gest a substantial volume of liquidating sales during the forenoon, but the absorp tive power was equal to the task and a strong undertone was apparent after mid day. The May delivery fluctuated inde pendently, advancing to a new high level for the season In response to further gains in cash premiums. There will perhaps be a marked change in sentiment as far as the deferred months are concerned when warm weather sets in, bat in the mean time shorts cannot find, much comfort in the payment of such prices as are now being Quoted for the cash article.

April 30. Dun's tomorrow will say: Impediments to seasonal business aevel opment are both varied in character and far-reaching in their influence, and the recent slowing down of conditions has been progressive and practically general. Relief from the railroad congestion Has permitted resumption of work at some plants where suspensions had been forced through lack of essential materials, but freight movements are still retarded and production more or less disorganized, and not a -few transactions that mlgnt other wise he consummated axe of necessity be ing held in abeyance.. Waile the restraint Imposed by Inter' rupted transportation alone is sufficient to appreciably curt-til activities, there are the added elements of present abnormal prices and tighrening of money markets and the backward spring in most sections is having no inconstdeiable effect in limit ing operations.
