.Suzuki & Co. Steamers Load
ing and More Coming.
Continued buying of Pacific coast
wheat by Japan, in spite of undercut
tin? by Australia In the markets of
Kurope and .South America, is re
ported by the local office of Suzuki
& Co. Besides the three steamers of
this company now loading: here, four
more are scheduled to reach this port
to load for their owners before Jan
uary 15. as well as one under charter
to the Portland Flouring Mills com
pany, which will load either for th
orient or for Kurope.
Steamers of the Suzuki fleet now In
port here are the Sweden Maru, at
the Globe mills; the Ypres Maru, at
the Peninsula mill, and the Malta
Maru, at the Montgomery dock. All
three will probably depart for the
orient before the end of the week.
The next vessel of this company to
arrive here will be the England Maru,
which has been chartered by the
Portland Flouring Mills company.
She is expected here Thursday from
the orient. Her destination has not
been announced by the charterer.
Following the England Maru, the
Keifuku Maru will be due here De
cember 28 and the Brazil Maru De
cember 29. For an early start in the
922 business the steamer Scotland
Maru is scheduled to reach Portland
January 3 and the Holland Maru Jan

coming direct from the orient, and
with the possible exception of the.

IWDAVXTED TO TAKE LUMBER
Charter at $23.50 Arranged for
February Loading.
Charter of the schooner Undaunted
to carry lumber from Portland to
South Africa at a rate of $23.50 a
thousand feet was admitted yester
day by Balfour. Guthrie & Co. The
vessel was fixed for February load
lng and will take her cargo at the

this schooner forma an interesting
comparison with that prevailing in
the same trade recently. In August,
1120, the barkentine Conqueror com
manded a rate of $u7.50 a thousand
feet from British Columbia to South
Africa, while at this time two years
ago the going rate was $60. The
barkentine Annie M. Kolph, recently
fixed for loading on Puget sbund for
South Africa, however, received only
$23.60, while the barkentine Kather
ine Mackall, taking parcel shipments
from San Francisco and the sound,
drew a rate of $25.

WASHINGTON", D. C, Dec. 19
State? in the exercise of their police
power have no authority through
legislative action to prohibit courts
from enjoining: picketing; in labor
disputes, the supreme court held
today in a decision involving an act
of Arizona.
In the opinion, on which the court
divided five to four, it was held that
the lower courts erred in refusing
to consider an application for an in
junction which was sought to restrain
certain methods of picketing. Chief
Justice Taft delivered the opinion.
Justices Holmes, Pitney and Brandels
separately stated dissenting views
and Justice Clark joined In the
opinion announced by Justice Pitney.
Tnft Explains Stand.
"The legislative power of a state
can only be exerted In subordination
to the fundamental principles of right
and Justice which the guaranty of
due process in the 14th amendment is
intended to preserve," declared the
chief Justice, "and that a purely
arbitrary or capricious exercise of
that power whereby a wrongful and
highly Injurious invasion of property
rights as here is practically sanc
tioned and the owner stripped of all
real remedy is wholly at variance
with these principles."
He stated that illegality of the
means used in the present case to
drive customers away was "without
doubt and fundamental."
"This makes this plan an unlawful
conspiracy," the decision continued.
"The means used are the libelous and
abusive attacks on the plaintiff's
(employer's) reputation, threats . . .
of such attacks on would-be custom
ers, picketing and patroling of the
entrance of their place of business
with these accompaniments and the
consequent obstruction to free access
thereto, all with the purpose of de
priving the plaintiffs of their business
to give operation to a statute whereby
serious losses inflicted by such unlaw
ful means are in effect made irre
mediable. The constitution was In
tended to prevent experimentation
with the fundamental rights of the
Individual.
Arlsona Law Held Different.
The chief justice asserted that hold
ing the Arizona law invalid would not
necessitate holding void section 20 of
the Clayton act. relating to immunity
of labor organizations from certain
laws prohibiting combinations in re
straint of commerce. The construction
put upon Arizona law by the Arizona
supreme court makes that law and the
rederal statute as different "in mean
ing as if they were in wholly differ
ent language." he said.
The state court, however, in the
opinion of dissent delivered by Jus.
tire Brandels, should be sustained,
"because in applying its rule In re
gard to boycutt and peaceful picket
ing, Arizona did not deprive the
plaintiffs of property without due
process of law or deny them equal
protection of the law," and "because
if Arizona was prohibited from adopt
ing this rule of substantive law It
was still free to restrict the extraor
dinary remedies of equity were it
considered their exercise to be detri
mental to the public welfare, for such
restriction was not a denial to the
employes of either due process of law
or equal protection of the laws."
Brandela Presents View.
The real object of an Injunction,
Justice firandels said, was to prevent
Injury to persons or tangible prop
erty, and unless there was a threat
In such violance an injunction should
not be granted in the Arizona case.
The history of the rule governing
contests between employer and

countries . . . should admonish us
not to declare a rule arbitrary or
unreasonable merely because we are
convinced It is fraught with danger
to the public weal and thus to closvj
the door to experiment within the
law," he asserted.
Justice Pifney's line of, reasoning
was similar to that of Justice Bran
dels, holding it within the police pow
ers of the state to regulate and con
trol all acts in breach of peace or of
violence, whether originating in la
bor disputes or otherwise. He stated
that the employers had ample pro
tection of all their rights In the
courts and through other measures
than injunction.
The case arose out of a strike in
Bisbee, Ariz, in which William Truax
and other employers sought an in
junction to prohibit former employes
from picketing. The state courts dis
missed the proceedings, holding that,
under the Arizona act of 1913 injunc

Current Improvement in Commer
cial Conditions Pointed to by
-Federal Report.
Current Improvement In industrial
and commercial conditions Is shown
by figures published by the depart
ment of commerce In Its monthly sur
vey of current business and comment
ed upon by the Wall Street Journal.
Greater output of Iron and steel and
of textile products is shown, while a
widespread Increase in building has
made itself felt In lumber, cement,
brick and related Industries.
The department notes further de
clines in prices during October, but
on a much smaller scale than earlier
in the year. This relative stability
of prices and the indexed banking
situation, as evidenced by increased
reserves, smaller loans and lower In
terest rates, are considered favorable
to further business improvement. The
most serious drawback is low price of
agricultural products and consequent
decreased buying of farmers.
October Production Increases.
Increased production was the gen
eral rule In October. Substantial In
creases were reported in pig iron.
steel, bituminous coal and coke and
smaller relative increases in cement,
anthracite coal and wheat flour and
In the consumption of cotton. Zinc
production remained stationary and
petroleum production decreased
slightly.
Increases of about one-third over
the minimum for pig Iron, cotton
manufactures, by-product coke, cigars,
cigarettes and manufactured tobacco
were noted, while the bituminous coal
output rose 70 per cent from the
minimum, and the production of wheat
flour, oleomargarine, beehive cok,
steel Ingots, cement and wool prod
ucts is about double the minimum
figures. A small Increase over the
low point Is noted for anthracite coal,
while line, copper and petroleum are
still close to the year's minimum pro
duction. Production of cigarettes and
wheat flour exceeded even the high
est point in 1920, and cement produc
tion was the largest ever recorded.
Quantities Are Greater.
Except for metals, quantitative pro
duction of the Important Industries is
as great or greater than before the
war. Bituminous coal. petroleum,
wheat flour, oleomargarine, cigar
ettes, cement, by-product coke and
cotton and wool products are all
greater than the 1S13 average, while
the output of anthracite coal, manu
factured tobacco and cigars Is very
slightly less. With metal production
only recently at Its low point and
the great recovery noted, especially
in iron and steel, during the last two
months, considerable progress is seen
in putting this whole industry on the
road to normal production.
Producer Paid Less.
Retail prices on November 1 showed
no change, and wholesale prices de
clined slightiy. Prices paid to pro
ducers for crops and livestock de
clined markedly and both groups are
below the 1913 level, while wholesale
and retail prices are still about 50
per cent above that mark.
Monthly export trade of the United
States for the past six months la
greater than In 1913. making an al
lowance for an Increase of 60 per cent
in prices. On that basis exports are
10 per cent greater than the 1913 av
erage; imports are 10 per cent less.
Unemployment conditions continued
to Improve. Figures for the United
States as a whole and for New York
state show more men employed and
larger payrolls; average earnings ap
pear to be on the decline. This factor
is also reflected in the decline in
postal savings. The small excess of
immigration over emigration has also
helped labor conditions.
