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.

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

dents and faculty sat up with broad
grins, remembering the time, perhaps.

morning with a series of alarm-clock
explosions during his entire address.
Miss r,isa Gill, chapel speaker, weath

Whoever turned the trick entered
the chapel through a rear entrance
and escaped unnoticed after setting

someone was celebrating the return of

were sent back the first of the week.

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. I'KICKS ARK KAISKD SHARPLY.

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. Sales 925,000 shares. j

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.

TRADE EXPANSION IS HELD BACK
ULeay Restraints Impeeed on Business
Developments,
NEW YORK. 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.

Walter L. Pierce of La Grande. Oi .
"There were 100 schoolhouses ii.
Oregon that did not open their door i
last year because of lack of teach
ers." declared Mr. Churchill. Beside;
furnishing more money for the em
ployment of capable teachers for thu
schools, he said, the burden on tax
able land would be more equitabiy
based, since all county property
would be taxed for this purpose and
the funds divided between the dis
tricts. Much of this land now is
exempt from the school tax syistem.
Dr. Hinson told of the three king
