THE MORNING OKEGOMAX, THURSDAY, MAY INSPEG LETTER SENT WASHINGTON rotcst Entered Against Selling JLivcrpooi Market on Sclf . Fixed Grades. SALEM, Or., May 5. '(Special.) That the Pacific Grain company and other racific northwest dealers should be- compelled to export their wheat and kindred products subject to inspection and grading under fed eral and state supervision and should not be allowed to sell on the Liverpool market on Krades established by the dealers themselves is the contention voiced by Fred "Williams, member of tho Oregon public service commission, in a letter addressed to George Liv ingston, chief of the United States de partment of agriculture. Mr. Williams' letter has to do with an article which appeared in The Ore conian on April 28, under Washing ton date line, in which Julius H. Barnes, United States wheat director, was quoted as replying to inquiries addressed to him by the farmers' unions of Washington, Oregon and Idaho. In the original inquiries '. J Mr. Barnes it is understood that the farmers and grain growers of the three states protested that under present conditions two sets of regula tions governed the inspection and grading of their product. , Dealers Defend Position. It was set out that when a grower hipped his wheat from the interior it was inspected upon arrival in Port land, but that upon being exp rted the dealers themselves fixed the grades independent of any government regu lation. The dealers, in defense of their shipments without federal or state inspection, allege that the Liverpool market is without knowledge of fed eral grading in the United States and that the foreign dealers rely almost eolely upon the samples which are forwarded for their examination. "If Mr. Barnes" reply, .is quoted in The Oregonian, is authentic", said Mr. Williams in his letter to the agricul tural department head, "we want to enter an immediate and vigo: is pro .test and state our position without equivocation and ambiguity before the matter becomes hopelessly in volved by reason of failure to under stand the further procedure. "We have two great ports in Ore gon, including Astoria and Portland, and thousands of bushels of wheat are grown annually in territory trib utary thereto which finds its way naturally to these great grain cen ters. Inspection Is Compulsory. "At both cities this commission has established ,and maintains splendidly equipped Inspection departments avail able to th-! shippers, purchasers and exporters of grain. In fact, inspec tion arrd weighing is compulsory un der the provisions of the law 'r all grain bought and used domestically at these points. ''Without equal and general appli cation of standards to all grades, in cluding exports, the state and federal inspection departments will lose their usefulness - and consequently - the confidence of the producers "because of such discrimination and therefore in the end become obsolete and value less. "There are now several cargoes in Portland and one being shipped t Astoria for export which are being held up awaiting the result of your action against the Pacific Grain com pany, and it is imperative that there be an Imraedir'e and definite deter mination."
