EMPLOYERS ASK PAY CUT

Industry throughout the eastern
section of this country will not be
effective in the Pacific northwest be
fore February 1, if then, it was ex
plained yesterday by F. E. Andrews,
president of the Portland Photo-Engravers'
club. This security of the
industry in this section, he said, is
due to an agreement entered into last
November between the employers and
employes to preserve a truce for 30
days after the beginning of the new
year, to await developments in the
cast.
The agreement between employers
and employes was effected by the
northwest Joint industrial council,
which was recently created and which
meets once a year.
"Wane Scale Negotiated.
Membership In this organization In
cludes employers and employes of the
photo-engraving- industry in the cities
of Vancouver, B. C.; Seattle, Tacoma
and Portland. The last meeting was
in Seattle November 30 and December
3. At each annual meeting of thia
tody a wage scale is negotiated for
the following year.
An agreement was entered into at
the Seattle meeting with the excep
tion of the three points of wage re
duction, wage scale and hours of
work a week, with the understanding
that later meeting was to be called
when sentiment on these three points
had crystallized in the east.
Strike I Possible.
It Is probable. Mr. Andrews said,
that if an agreement is not reached
before the 30-day truce expires the
northwest will Join the rest of the
country in the strike and lockout in
an attempt to make the settlement on
a national basis. There are 6700 pho
, to-engravers in the United States, he
eald, and more than half of them are
now out of work on account of the
disagreement.
The attitude of the employers of
this section in regard to the contro
versy was given in a statement issued
yesterday by Carl Freillnger. secre
tary of the Portland Photo-Engravers'
club, as follows:
"The employing photo-engravers
throughout the United States realize
the necessity of a reduction in the
cost of the manufacture of photo
engravings previous to the expiration
of closed-shop agreements December
31, 1921, and are insisting upon In
their negotiation a general reduction
of wages and in some localities a re
turn to a 48-hour week. J
W Cut Demanded.
"The negotiations have taken def
inite form through the concerted ac
tion of the employers in insisting
upon their demands being met at the
expiration of the union agreement,
and by refusal of the union to grant
a reasonable reduction in wages.
There are on Tuesday, January 3,
1922, 3400 men In 30 cities, represent
ing more than 250 shops, out of work,
and it is very apparent that the union
must concede to the fairness of a re
duction of wages at this time before
operation of the plants now idle will
be had."

DAIRYMEN'S PROFIT UP
Butterfat Heturns Are Two Cents
Above Market Price.
ASTORIA, Or., Jan. 3. (Special.)
The dairymen connected with the
Lower Columbia Dairymen's associa
tion today were receiving their pay
checks for the D amber business on
the basis of 45 cents a pound for but
terfat, or approximately two cents a
pound above the ruling market rate.
The local association is making pay
ment for 30.000 pounds of butterfat
and is paying $(i00 more for that
amount than would have been secured
in the open market. The fact that
the dairymen are getting above the
market price docs not mean that the
consumers are paying two cents above
the market price. The extra profit
to the farmer comjs through the co
operat.ve feature of the association
and represents mor.ey that would have
gone to a middleman In an ordinary
transaction.

BEFORE ROTARY CLUB.

Development to Accommodate Big
gest Ships in the World De
clared Contemplated.
Plans for the development of the
river channel from Portland to the
sea to such an extent that the biggest
ships in the world can be accom
modated in Portland harbor were re
lated . by Frank M. Warren, presi
dent of the Port of Portland, in an
address at the Rotary club luncheon
at the Benson hotel yesterday noon.
Mr. Warren outlined work which
was- contemplated by the port in
conjunction with the government.
He said that the passage of a bill
now in congress providing for the
purchase of an additional dredge for
channel work and the appropriation
of additional funds to take care of
such development would take care
of the channel work in a few years.
In the near future he said that the
port was contemplating in conjunc
tion, with the government the con
struction of a series of dykes and
Jetties along the river at places
where sediment has accumulated.
The speaker announced that the
work of opening up North Portland
harbor would be completed by the
middl'e of this month. So' early a
completion of this work he said was
made possible by the fact that the
engineering departn.ent had pat the
dredges in such good shape that they
were doing practically double the
work done before.

new state fish hatchery above Oak
. ridge, and to prevent further damage

GRANTS PASS GETS INJUNC
TION AGAINST RAILWAY.
Failure to Pay Any Portion of In
terest on $200,000 Bonds
Charged by City.
GRANTS PASS, Or., Jan. 3. (Spe
cial.) On a charge of breach of con
tract, the city of Grants Pass today
obtained a temporary injunction
against the California & Oregon Coast
Railroad company, the Title & Trust
company and the Twohy Bros., pre
venting any of the defendants from
further encumbering the railroad and
from buying or selling any bonds or
issuing or executing any mortgage or
lien on the property. The Injunction
was signed by Judge Calkins, Med
ford, who is presiding at the circuit
court.
Complaint was made, by the city
that the railroad company has failed
to .pay any portion of the semi-annual
interest of the J200.000 bonds voted by
the municipality and that there has
been no portion of the railroad under
construction other than the 4'4 miles
already completed, from which, it was
said, no benefit is received by the
city. The city also declared the rail
road has definitely abandoned all in
tentions of extension.
An agreement was entered into be
tween the plaintiff and the defendants
June 26, 1915, granting property and
building rights along the proposed
route. The railroad was to purchase
the franchise from the city within
3V& years from the date on which the
property was transferred, in the di
rection of the Illinois river to a nolnt
at or near Waldo, about 40 miles from
urants Pass.
Rumors of a sale of the railroad
company brought about the injunc
tion, which, it is hoped, will be made
permanent.
