WATERFRONT GETS BLOW
Crar-RoHcnbaum Co. to Take Grain
Out of MnnJclpal Elevator
Without Sacking.
A steamer, name and tonnage aa yet
unknown, haa beeil charters by the
Gray-Rosenbaum Grain company to
carry a full cargo of bulk wheat
from tha Portland municipal grain
evator to Europe, according to brief
advices received yesterday by the
local office of the company, uesiaes
being the first of many cargoes to be
aliiDoed out of Portland by this nrm,
which recently opened an office here,
this will also be the first cargo of
wheat In bulk t!T 'e taken, from the
lirtland munlel- elerator.
Details of thi arter. which was
closed recently London, are ex
pected to be learned here today.
The eyes of Portland marine 'n
terests are turned upon the Gray
liosenbaum company because, aside
from the Interest that naturally at
taches to the entrance Into the Port
land export field of the largest grain
concern In the world, this company
has announced Its Intention of eapoM
It.g entirely In bulk.
Haadreda Pare I.aae af Job.
Such procedure. If as successful
here as In other grain centers, will
revolut'onlxe the greatest single ma
rine Industry of this port, greatly
sccelerate the movement of grain
ctrriers and take away the employ
roi t.t of hundreds of men whose aerv
Icea are now required to stow -the
Hacked grain in the vessels that carry
It abroad.
Aa one stevedore pointed out a few
d.-.ys ago. If the bulk handling of
grain for export Is made the general
practice the grain- carrier wUl come
to approach the oil tanker In scarcity
of disbursements In port. The tank
ers he pointed out. come In. discharge
and go out again In a few hours with
out being obliged to pay out a dollar
to local water-front enterprises.
City F.levator I'aed More.
Under the stimulus of the Gray
Rosenbaum company's operations, the
municipal grain elevator at St. Johns
is now being utilised for the first time
on the scale for which It was built.
A few hundred tons of wheat passed
through the elevator last season, but
was handled In sacks and made little
use of the facilities with which the
elevator Is equipped.
About 10.0UO tons of wheat la now
stored In the elevator awaiting the
arrival of steamers to carry it away.
This amount fills the elevator to
about one-third of Ita total storsge
citpaclty. The greater portion of this
lu.000 tons belongs to the Gray
Rosenbaum company, though lots are
tJso in storage there for Kerr. Glf

Northwest Wheat Growers' associa
tion. Spanish Steamer Coming;.
The Spanish steamer Igots Mendl
will reach Portland tomorrow, ac
cording to a wireless message re
ceived yesterday by the Northern
Grain Warehouse company, her
charterers. The Igots Mendi will load
a cargo of wheat here for Europe.
This will be the first Spanish vessel
to come to Portland In a generation
rr more, and her arrival Is looked
forward to by the waterfront frater
nity as a diversion. Two more Span
ish steamers the Arno Mendl and
Begona No. 1 are also booked to
carry cargoes of wheat from Port
land wthin a few weeka.
Coffee Import Value $316,013.
Coffee valued at 13411.013 has been
Imported at this port since Novem
ber, 1920, according to figures com
piled by the traffic bureau of the
Port of Portland. Direct Importations
of coffee at Portland by the all-water
route from Colombia and Brail 1 were
practically non-existent until a year
ago

PATROL DEUCED
"Law and Order" Commit
tees Held Picketers.
PRODUCERS PROTEST ACTS
Prevention of All Work in Califor
nia Fields Declared to Be
Purpose of Guards.
SAN FRANCISCO. Cal., Sept, 20.
A charge that the law and order com
mittees of the striking oil workers'
unions "are merely intimidating and
picketing committees" waa made in a
statement Issued here late today by
O. W. Swindell, secretary of the Cali
fornia Oil Producers' association.
The statement in full follows:
"The so-called law and order com
mittees operating in the oil fields of
the atate are merely intimidating and
picketing committees. Thla Is evi
denced by the fact that some1 mem
bers of these committees, aided by
groups of strikers, continue to pa
trol the state highways, stop auto
mobiles and Inspect their passengers
srd by threats force to turn back
cry machines they do not wish to
pass. I charge this to be a usurpa
tion of a government function.
Patrol Held Intolerable.
"So far as protecting property Is
concerned this statement is mere
camouflage, as those familiar with
the situation know well. Properties
are patrolled, it Is true, and by armed
deputy constables and members of
the law-and-order committees formed
by the strikers, but these patrols are
solely to prevent work being per
formed, to prevent properly author
ized guards from coming In, and dur
ing the night they make conditions
unbearable for the people on the prop
erties by their nitimidation.
"As previously stated by the Cali
fornia Oil Producers' association, we
consider a condition of absolute law
lessness prevails in certain fields of
the state. It ia certainly a fact that
men are forcibly carried to union
labor headquarters, where they are
tried on various charges before 'kan
garoo courts.'
Wells Declared Safe.
"The statement that the oil wells
are being ruined through the infiltra
tion of water Is false. The compa
nies are very familiar with problems
of water control and will always take
steps to prevent damage. The oil
companies have received no warning
1'om the Interior department nor from
the stare mineralogist concerning; this
