FOOD CONCERN MEN HERE Representative of IHstrlbutors in Portland Deny Activity in lilt Price Controversy. Thtf public assertion that the Nestles Food Products company, Swift & Co. and other biff condensers were will ing to back to the limit financially dairymen who would break with the Oregon Dairymen's league, was made by Harry West, one of the owners or the Red Rock dairy at Tiftard, at a meeting of dairymen ednesday night, said Albert B. Hall, manager of the league, yesterday. 'He probably is sorry by. this time that he made the assertion in the open, but he did so. aeciarea mr. Hall. "He called the meeting and about 20 dairymen wete present. The discussion was on the question of dropping the league. Mr. West said that these concerns were willing to back any dairyman who might en counter lawsuits by reason of break ing? their contracts with the league. Distributor Dcnlea Charge. C. M. Gregory, representative of a prouo of I'orxiana aiBinouiors, em phatically denied that the jsestiea company or any othef condenser, is aiding the local distributor in the present milk fight or has pledged assistance. ' The presence In this city or ranK Glass, an official of the Nestles Kood Products company brings a charge from the league that he is here De- cause of direct Interest in the con troversy and is aiding the distributors. This also was denied by Mr. uregory. "Mr. Glass' arrival in roruana nas jio connection wnaiever wnn mo fight." said Mr. Gregory. "He is here on business for his company and his arrival has no bearing on the con troversy. He may be interested la. it, but he is taking no part in it." 31 r. Glass In Background. Mr. Hall is positive, on the other Kand, in his assertion that Mr. Glass is giving aid and comlort to tne, ais- tributors. -But he is keeping in tne DacK- pround as much as he can," said Mr. Hall. "He was out of the city yes terday attending a- meeting or dairy men at Coquille, where Mr. Katz has been. Of course he has no particular interests around) Portland."' Mr. Hall auotes from a telegram received! by the league from the As sociated Dairymen of California, as follows: "Frank Glass is assistant to the president of the Alpine-. Evaporated Cream company, recently bought by Nestles. He has been, general fight ing man for the combination of pack ers, centralisers and Alpine company against dairy organizations la Cali fornia for past two years." - Trust Xnrr Exempts Farmers. Announcement was made by Lester W. Humphreys. United States district attorney, that an examination into all phases of the milk controversy had convinced him that the government could not prosecute any of the in terests concerned for manipulation of prices or violation of the anti-trust laws. "The producers and distributors are not Involved in anything that vio lates federal statutes because they are not engaged in interstate com merce." he eald. "Being under the agricultural classification, they are exempted from the food-control act For the same reasons the Pro ducers' league is exempted from any prosecution. The anti-trust laws do rot apply to agricultural industries. If there was any indication of ex cessive profits the distributors could lae prosecuted under the Lever act', Jjut their profits are hot excessive." Mayor Baker requested the federal officer to make an investigation two weeks ago following the report of Deputy City Attorney Mackay to the effect that the Dairymen's league was extorting a higher Drlce from he distributors than necessary.

Stone, chairman of the port of Astoria com mission, and Engineer Eartlett of the port, had a conference with Robert A. Long at the Benson yesterday. Mr. Long, after listening to the argu ments, did not commit himself. All forenoon yesterday, Mr. Long nd his associates were in council and the meeting was continued in the afternoon. The purpose of the conference is to determine where the Long-Bell company shall establish a mill for manufacturing iir trees into lumber. The fir hold ings, recently acquired, are at the tnouth of the Cowlitz river. "We are in no haste to arrive at decision," explained Mr. Long, "and the matter may not be settled for eeveral days, or it may not be de termined on this trip. We have plenty of time. We want to decide which is the best place to select for site. In fact we will probably build three mills, each of which will be of large capacity." Two of the proposed mills will. presumably, be located on the Colum bia river, where the product can be loaded direct onto ocean-going steamers.

COUNCIL REFERS MATTER City Engineer to Investigate Prop osition Involving Portland, Seattle and Vancouver. Portland officials will await fur ther Investigation before they take too seriously the plans for the con struction of a $50,000,000 terminal ex change building here and the unifi cation of the terminals in Portland, Seattle and Vancouver, B. C as pre sented to the city council by A. P. Gillies, president of the Consolidated Amerlcanadian Terminal association. The association will construct and finance the building and the whole project which will involve a total of $450,000,000, states the president. The matter has been referred to Commissioner Barbur, who has turned it over to O. Laurgaard, city engineer, for investigation. Mr. Gillies, who gave his address to Mr. Laurgaard as 61 Broadway, New York, in a conference with Mr. Laurgaard. declared that he had in dorsements from the railroad commis sion of Canada and that both Van couver and Seattle were much inter ested and ready to go ahead if Port land would join in the enterprise. The city engineer of Vancouver, B. C, during the Shrine convention, how ever, talked to Mr. Laurgaard, saying that he was just starting an investi gation. Previous Plan Dropped. Consulting Engineer Lamb was in Tacoma four years ago when Gillies tried to start a similar terminal scheme and told the city engineer yesterday that at that t'me he did not have the financial backing which he had claimed and was forced to drop the plan. Mr. Laurgaard said yesterday that he had spent a whole afternoon with Gillies going over the plans and that detailed plans were shown him of the proposed Seattle terminal. 'Even if he has the $160,000,000 to carry the thing through, I do not know whether I would approve it or hot, said the city engineer. "We do not want to become too in volved with Seattle. In addition, the city would lose control of the water front under this plan, instead of the city having control of it." Electrification Called For. The association's plans call also for the electrification of the main tracks between the three cities. It will be necessary to obtain franchises from the three cities, and no definite ac tion has been taken by any of them yet. The Vancouver (B. C.) city council has passed a resolution stating that the council believes "the building would be beneficial to the city and that the council would be billing to pass a by-law giving the associa tion the privilege of covering over certain streets necessary In connec tlon with the plan, provided It was shown that the association is in position financially to complete the building." The evening programme, originally scneauiea ror a general discussion on the subject of institute welfare. Wa changed to include one of this morn ing's papers: "Use of Steels in Pressed Steel Transmission Lines." In the ab sence ot L. R. O'Neill of the Maryland Pressed Steel company, the paper was presented by W. D. A. Peaslee, elec trical engineer of the Jeff ery-Dewitt insulator company. This paper gave a summary of the arguments in favor of pressed steel units over malleable Iron in line con struction. The pressed steel units could be manufactured more quickly were more accurate, could withstand the weather conditions better ana were more uniform and cheaper in price than those made of malleable iron, according to O'Neill's paper. A short discussion on the future plans of the institute and the devel opment of plans projected at the last annual convention concluded the day's programme. The convention took on an interna tional character in yesterday's session through the registration of G. Hi zawa of Tokio, Japan; A. S. Cushing of London, England, and R. F. Hay- ward, J.

Morgan & Co., Shoemaker, Bates & Co., Malcolm & Coombs and others conspicuous In the financial district. A suit was brought against him at the time by Gibson Arnold, who said he had been engaged by Gillies as financial agent of the Imperial Building company at $10,000 a year and 5 per cent com mission. Arnold declared he had ac cepted the anency because Gillies had asserted that Henry Hewitt of Ta coma had subscribed $1,000,000 toward he enterprise, which Arnold after ward learned was to be paid in sand, gravel and brick on condition that eastern capitalists put up $3,000,000 in real money. Arnold said none of the Gillies enterprises had advanced beyond the paper stage. According to himself. Mr. Gillies is great-grandnephe w of David Liv- ngston. the African explorer. Is graduate of Edinburgh university. ivll engineer by profession and was lieutenant in charge of an- engineer corps in the construction of the Cape- o-Cairo railroad. Schemes Involved Millions.
