(Special Cable. . The interallied .commission will be In complete control of upper Silesia within one week, if plans on which the commission is agreed can be car ried through. General Le Rond, Hen eral Sir Harold Stuart and General De Martini reached an understanding today which, if pursued in rood faith will liquidate the Kerfanty revolu tion quickly, through united allied ac . tion. Should the plan fail to work, the British will go through on thel own account and occupy the Indus trial centers, particularly Beuthe and Kattowitx. -The outstanding feature in the up per Silesian situation is that the Brit Ih intend to break the iniurrectio and to re-establish the Gerjian mln owners, regardless of whether the may be called pro-German for so do In. If General Le Rond goes with them, well and good; if not, they will go. alone. StratrRle Position Held. They already hold a strategic mill tary position between Gleiwlts and the Oder. While they are not em powered to disarm the Polish bands which hamper their prograas, they are pushing them along ahead. Wnen they reached Rosenberg the Polish commander was given one hour in which to get his 5000 men out and let the British in. The Poles went, and British occupation was completed without a shot. Operations at Gleiwitz required delicate handling. Colonel Wauchop of the famous Black Watch com mand, who is in charge there, has met all the requirements with rare skill and tact. He takes care not to move a foot without having some of the French officers beside b'ai and supporting him; so there is no lance for the Poles to cry out that the Germans are coming back under the screen of the British. Colonel Wauchop slipped six mixed French and British battalions between the Polish insurgents and the German Selbschutz along a 29-mile front without losing a man. Relations Are Improved. . Several villages, where the Ger man Selbscbutz were at one end and the Polish insurgents at the other, ai.ica troops, naving no power to disarm either of. the would-be com batants have to argue both sides to the rear. Arrivals of British troops at the front has had an effect, quite dif ferent from that which had been ex . pected. In the field they are work ing in seeming. full accord with the French, while here the differences between the two forces led almost to an open break.. Sir Harold Stuart, who arrived hcr three days ago, has been the medium for improved relations. He has not hesitated to reprove British mem bers of the commission, particularly Colonel Percival, for having gone too far in support of the Germans and he has worked effectively to bring about close co-operation with Gen eral LeRond. Through General Stuarfs good'of fices and energy the occupation of the industrial region will be made by the united British and French, unless orders , from Paris may ef- ieci some other disposition of French troops. He-occupation la Asaarcd. General LeKond, with whom I have naa a long talk, assures trie that there will be complete re-occupation of Upper Silesia by the allies within the next five or ten days. He ad mits that he has been swept off his feet by General Stuart's energy. One point he has, been able to carry is that the Polish bands will not be disarmed while the German Selb schutz are permitted to carry arms. He says he supposes his personal prestige has been damaged. In my opinion, the position of the French troops in the field has been unfairly attacked. Fault has not been with the troops, but with the Inter-allied commission. The French in the del icate position between Gleiwitz and the Odor have proved themselves the finest quality of soldiers. In the initial differences between Jou General Stuart and LeKond. Gen eral PcMartlni acted as peacemaker and it was largely due to the sauvity of the commission in furthering the British intention of replacing the Germans as masters of the industrial region that the promising outlook has been brought about.

SAILORS PESERT AUTHOR Frederick O'Brien's Expedition Hits Shadows In South Seas. HONOLULU, T. H., June 9. (Spe cial.) Like nearly all expeditions to the South seas, which start off in a blaze of glory and end in mutiny of the crew, or other mishaps, the ex pedition of Frederick O'Brien, author of "White Shadows in the South Seas," has hit uncharted shoals of misunderstanding. Practically all the crew of the Wisdom II has re turned to San Francisco. O'Brien had 20 Americana on board when the Wisdom II sailed from San Francisco. Of that bunch but seven remained , and the crew was made up for the remainder of Tahiti sailors. The Wisdom II visited the Mar quesas isles, Tahiti, Bora Bora and Raiatea before reaching American Samoa, which was the last American port of call for the next two years' ruise of the yacht. SHERMAN COUNTY BEATEN THE OREGONIAN NEWS BUREAU, Washington, D. C, June 9. Organ ized price-fixing by the mills of the West Coast Lumbermen's association of Oregon and Washington, curtail-4 ment of production to hold prices up, close co-operation between the Doug las fir mills and those of the West ern Pine Manufacturers' association, with headquarters in Portland, in fix ing prices, a most effective loggers' association combine, backed by and often owned by the big timber own ers, and a dangerous control of the nation's future lumber supply in the Pacific northwest by a few great timber barons, are charged in one of the most sweeping reports--yet made by the federal trade commis sion in a long document submitted to congress by that commission to day. In the presentation reference is made to a similar report on the Southern Pine association, filed in February of this year, which was followed by prosecutions through the department of Justice, and the in ference lies therein that the same is expected by the trade commission against, the approximately 200 mills the West Coast Lumbermen's as- Vamliill and Washington First File Election Returns. SALEM, Or., June 9. (Special.) Sherman county, which for many years has had the distinction of be- ng the first county in Oregon to file turns of elections .with the secre- ary of state, now has to take a back seat. Yamhill and Washington coun ties share honors for first place in filing the results of Tuesday's spe- ial election with the state depart ment. The returns from these two. coun ties reached the secretary of state today. Canvassing the votes in Tues day's election, probably will start early next week and probably will be completed before July 1, according to the secretary of state. I sociation. Price Control la Charred. Numerous quotations are made in the report from minutes of meet ings of the lumber associations af fected, correspondence of individual mill managers and committee mem bers handling production and price problems, and the commission eays that it has gathered thousands of such documents from which no quo tations are made. Out of the whole the commission presents its conclu sions that there can be no doubt of deliberate and long-sustained effort by the association to control prices of its products and excerpts from communications of the secretary. It. B. Allen are offered to show his be lief that certain practices had this effect. "The increases between October, Possibility v strikes and Nervous ness Over Government Crop Re port Disturbing Factors. CHICAGO, June 9. Big swings in the price of wheat today came with swiftness that bewildered dealers Most of the excitement was crowded into the last part of the session. when the market showed an upturn of 8 cents for the July delivery, at $1.40, and then dropped to almost an equal extent, closing unsettled at $1.34 V4 to $1.35. Announcement that a special meeting of the members of the board of trade was about to be held to consider pending legislation at Sorlnsrfield hiehlv obnoxious to members of. the exchange was as cribed as a leading factor in the loss of confidence by the bulls -at the last. The, nrecedinar unward flight of prices was associated with an infer ence that possible railroad strikes July 1 might cause grave trouble in filling contracts for delivery of wheat.' - Nervousness oyer the government crop report indicating that the pro-' duction of winter wheat wouio oe 51,000,000 bushels less than had been looked for a month ago was an addi tional reason for much of the rapid ity of today's action of the market. NEW YORK, June 9. Another col lapse in foreign exchange, especially British, the heavy export tax on oils proposed by Mexico, further price- cutting and more reduced or omitted dividends effected additional impair ment of prices on the stock exchange today. Oils, motors, steels, coppers, equip ments, chemicals and many mlscei laneous shares 'suffered losses of : to 7 points. Manv of today's low records, from which there was little or no recov ery at the heavy close, represented minimum quotations of the year, United States Steel at 76 was with- a fraction of its low since 1920. A decline of one-quaTter cent to 4.25 in raw sugar today carried prices to the lowest level in more than four years. This new price was established on sales of 6700 bags of Costa Ricans, import duty paid. Xewberjr Berrians and Portland Fire Bureau Get Second and Third Places.

Uncle Sam never drew on a boxing glove in his life, but he'll make more money than Jack Dempsey, Georges Carpentier or Tex Rlckard on July 2. Figures were quoted today by in ternal revenue officials. Dempsey's income tax for $300,000, approximately what he will receive for the battle, will amount to $161,270. Carpentler's toll, when exemptions for his wife and child are subtracted, will total $93,334. That makes the division of th purse read: United States government, $254,604 boxers, $245,396. The marked difference between th taxes of the boxers is due to th surtax on the difference between $300,000 and $200,000. Dempsey, how ever, will have a year in which to pay, in quarterly installments, the first payment due March 15, 19 Carpentier, before he sails, must pay every dollar. Government profits on the bout also include .the 10 per cent amusemen tax exacted by federal authorities, which will amount approximately to $100,000. New Jersey will exact like sum. Tex Rlckard, promoter, whose prof its may be $100,000, will be taxed amount which will "bring the total government revenue from the en counter to considerably more than half million dollars.

Rose, pageantry then reaches Its apex. Yesterday's succession of rose- wreathed, automobiles and floats car rying blooms of all colors, looted from a thousand gardens, was a worthy successor to the 13 annual floral pa rades that have gone before. And as always, it held the center of the festival stage. Crowds yesterday were abdve the average in festival history. Masses of people formed at vantage points, intent upon viewing the festival's banner attraction, and they hung upon th(j flanks of the pageant until it won its way through the sinuous course mapped out for it and dis banded. Many Cltlea Represented. As the pageant was forming, a few drops of rain sprinkled down and some feared a repetition of last year's downpour upon this same parade. Happily, clouds veered away and left the procession free from the least til omen. - Co-operation of other cities was never' more generous than this year to make the parade a success. Other H:gh tide of-the Rose Festival was cities sent big delegations, handsome floats and enthusiastic crowds of spectators.

Pink roses predominated in the dec orative scheme. . The American Tire & Rubber com pany had a float decked with peonies and larkspur in an attractive man ner. The American Association for Rec ognition of the Irish Republic was represented with a big float in which mixed flowers were used to advan tage. The Auto Service Towing company had a service car in the line which was shown towing an automobile, decked with marguerites.
