DECEMBER' 18, 1920 OUARflNTIWE BIHTEH THAN PRAYER, VIEW DF MARKET ABUSES -'"'! - - - " - i o Commissioner Bigelow Asked to Correct Evils of Alleged Combine and Restore Maximum Price. Portland's public market is a trad ing center for middlemen, and not producers, and as a result the market never has been, nor-Is it at present, the institution which was planned when It was established a few years ago, acqprding to Mrs. J. C Stewart, chairman of the market committee of the housewives league, who spoke before City Commissioner Bigelow yesterday. Foreigners have captured the mar ket. she insisted, by obtaining the majority of stalls In the market proper and by leasing stalls In prl vate buildings arong market row. Further, Mrs. Stewart contended that It was a common practice for men disposing of products at the prl vate stalls, to ridicule and harrass women who purchase produce on the public market,. - Horsewhipping! Due to Vendor. I am not a militant woman, ex plained Mrs. Stewart, "but If a man directed the same remarks to me, as I heard one man direct to a woman while she was purchasing vegetables from a stall in the market proper, would purchase a. horsewhip and use It effectively n the man. Mrs. Stewart held that In carry ing out such a plan she would have no fear of prosecution, for she con tended that she would be fully Jus tified. "The public market," said Mrs. Stewart, who served as" the spokes woman for the delegation from the housewives' league, "was established for the purpose of bringing the pro ducer directly to the consumer, for the particular benefit of the con timer. V Instead, the public market Is a trading place for the middlemen, whom the market was supposed to eliminate. And the consumer is forced to pay the usual tribute to the middleman under the guise of patron izing a publio market. tlants Maximum Price Restored. The conference was called primar ily for the purpose of discussing the maximum-price provision removed from the market rules at the request of the housewives' council about one year ago. The council now urges the return of the maximum price as the best means of curbing profiteering. It developed' that Commissioner Bigelow will introduce an ordinance bringing about a.return of the max imum price at the council meeting next Wednesday, instead of awaiting the return of Mayor Baker, as was proposed. - Many are the evils of the public market, under the present: manage ment, according to the members of the delegation. It was charged that evidence had been collected that pro , ducers selling at below the price maintained by the majority of other : agents selling on the market, had 1 been urged to Increase their prices. Specific Information Wanted. On this point Commissioner Bice- low urged the delegation to bring in specific Information concerning Buch : practices and immediate steps would . be taken to drive the guilty persons from the market. Discourteous treatment accorded to women by Marketmaster Eastman, when complaints had been filed with him. concerning affairs of the mar ket, had been reported to the mem bers of the delegation by other women, according to the statements made to Commissioner Bigelow. He told the delegation that he did Pot give any credit to such statements because he did not believe the mar ketmaster would be discourteous to pa irons of the market. ' No Relief From Insult. When Commissioner Bigelow was asked what steps would be taken to stop the alleged practice, of private tall owners annoying women who patronize the market proper, he told the delegation that no relief could be expected until the city'engineer had completed the plans for a market on the waterfront, in connection with a general waterfront improvement project, which has been suggested. Members of the market committee of the housewives' council Include Mrs. J. C. Stewart, Mrs. J. B. Rhodes, Mrs. J. E. Dean, Mrs. Alice Maderices and Mrs. Tillle Jordan. The only hope for a real publio market, ac cording to the delegation, would be by the establishment of the public market in a large building covering a block or two, or along the water front, where private merchants would not have opportunity of entering Into direct competition with the market Such a plan, it was pointed out, la followed with success In many of the large cities. In Portland the market plan cannot be successful because ot the lack of room, and because of the fact that private stalls are erected opposite the market, which frequent ly are confused as being a part of the market. In such private estab lishment, large stocks can be car ried over night, whereas the users of the present market must carry un old goods home after the close ot business. Present conditions are not attrac tlve to the producers and as a result the middlemen are occupying the at tractive stalls in the market and are charging the consumers all the traf fic will bear, according to. the mem bers of the committee.

Quarantine Laxity Deplored. Dr. L. W. ' Hyde, county health officer for Washington county, dis cussed the value and force of quar antine, a subject followed up by Dr. C. E. Caahatt, health officer for Marion county. There is too much laxity about quarantine, according to the doctors. Many people think they recognise the symptoms of measles and therefore do not call in the fam ily physician, nor do they take the trouble to report the case to the au thorities nor go into quarantine. The law in respeot to diagnosing communicable diseases and reporting tnem ana tne quarantine regulations is explicit, It -was pointed out, and some of the health officers said that their system Is to mall copies of the law to houses where contagious dis eases are confined. Many people do not want to Send for the family doc tor when they think they recognize the sysmptoms of measles although there Is a grave responsibility placed on the person who makes the dlagno. sis. Diseases of childhood, such as mumps and measles, are the principal diseases In wartime, declared Dr. Ben son He also stated that age is a guarantee against meningitis, for people who are 30 years of age and older are not affected by this dis ease.
