Withdrawal pf the steamer T. J.
Potter tomorrow from use as a
floating boarding house for non
union men employed in longshore
work, as has been done since soon
after the strike was started so that
some men replacing union workers
could be assembled close td terminal
No. 1 without interference, was
viewed as indicating that the
Waterfront Employers' union re
gards protection to such an, extent
no longer necessary, and believes
that strike conditions are on the
"wane.
Appointment of a new committee
of eight members to handle strike
features for the . longshoremen's
union, which action was taken at a
meeting held Friday night, was
thought to have an important bear
ing on the situation from the union's
standpoint. Two of them, Charles
Gloss and J. W. JJurphy, succeeded
J. A. Madsen and Herman Larson as
the union's representatives on the
neutral hiring bureau, and they
acted yesterday.
Peace Rumors -Heard.
Rumors have been going along
the beach as to prospective steps
looking toward a settlement and
that the new committee may have
to do with negotiations along that
line, but members of the union are
non-communicative. On the part of
the employers, it was said the men
would be welcomed back to the
waterfront and no discrimination
shown because of their affiliations,
which has been the expressed atti
tude of the employers since the
formation of an independent force
was undertaken.
In addition to men from the union
who have been working the ship
ping board steamer Eastern Sailer,
three gangs were yesterday ordered
to report at the Peninsula mill to
morrow morning to start the cargo
of the West Kader. Both the vessels,
shipping board carriers, are oper
ated by the Columbia Pacific Ship
ping company. They will also work
the Delrosa, which arrived yester
day and Is in to the General Steam
ship Corporation, as well as the
Artigas, of the Nawsco line, which
Is due at Terminal No. 2 tomorrow
With eastern freight.
Columbia Hall to Be Used.
Nonunion workers were paid off
.t the offices of stevedore concerns
yesterday for their week's work and
with the steamer Potter closed to
morrow, ail men are to be hired at
Columbia hall. Second and Oak
streets. In announcing the with
drawal of the Potter, the waterfront
employers' union yesterday gave out
the following statement:
"As the result of a survey of the
present longshore conditions in
Portland, the waterfront employ
ers' union feels justified in making
the statement that working condi
tions have now returned to normal.
as a plentiful supply of efficient
labor is available to carry on the
work of the port. Records show
that many cargoes are being ham
died more quickly , and efficiently
than formerly, and at a lower cost
to vessels and shippers, thereby
giving Portland a better chance to.1
compete successfully with neighbor
ing ports, and eliminating the dis
.crtmi nation, so far as labor condi
tions are concerned, which has
hitherto been a menace to the
growth, of the port.
Potter Is Released.
"The employers are therefore ar
ranging to dispense with the steam
er Potter as from Monday next, and
workers who have hitherto been
housed and fed on that -vessel will
report thereafter at the employers'
hall, Second and Oak streets, for as
signment to vessels. The closing of
the Potter will dispense with a num
ber of extra police who have been
guarding the vessel, thereby reduc
ing the cost' to taxpayers in this
connection.
"If the longshoremen's union offi
cials are sincere in their statements
that violence is no part of their pro
gramme, and that lawless acts are
discountenanced by their union.
w O " " . fOUWU ! i V lltD
extra police who have been angaged
on the waterfront cannot be dis
pensed with at an early date.
Action Declared Approved.
"The action which the waterfront
employers have taken during the
past two months has met with the
approval of shipowners and repre
sentatlves of shipping firms, who
have assured the employers that
their efforts to enforce better work
ing conditions and to establish i
higher standard of efficiency have
been successful. The good will of
these shipowners and shippers is
necessary ior me progress or the
port, and it seems apparent that
Portland will now enjoy their favor
Is a greater measure than hereto-
"Desplte the fact that the strike
; r longsnoremen was called by the
.: union men of their own volition. th
: waterfront employers' union desires
always maintained, namely, that all
; men are free to apply for longshore
work at the employers hall, where

FAMILY PATENTS LIST $8
With Stocks Light Further Fall
During Season Is Not Expected.
Wheat Quiet at Close of Week.
There will be a 20-cent decline id all
grades and classes of flour Monday
morning, which will put the flour mar
ket in line with the recent lowering of
wheat values. The best family patents
will be listed at So; bakers' hard wheat

$7.60; soft valley flour at $6.25; graham

Unless there ia a severe fall in wheat
it Is likely the present flour prices will
be maintained during the remainder, of
the season, as the unsold supply of
milling wheat Is very small and the
new crop will be late In coming on "the
market. A year ago flour sold at about
the same prices as now, but late In the
fall, when wheat and fjour wero plen
tiful, the market was a dollar lower.
The wheat market was quiet at the
close of the week. All bids at the mer

OLD POTATOES WILL CLEAN CP
Stock Will Be in Demand "for Month
Yet.
, There was a little shipping demand for
old potatoes, and as they will keep
moving until the middle ot July, owing
to the lateness of the new crop, it is
probable all the stock will clean up.
Buyers are now paying 0OcJl to farm
ers for good stock. In the Jobbing dis
trict good potatoes are selling at $1.35
$1.50. New potatoes are held at 65'4
cents.
Shipments of early potatoes through
out the country were 3130 cars, an in
crease of nearly 1000 cars over the pre
vious week, but about 300 cars less than
during the same week a year ago. North
Carolina led with 839 cars, and Virginia
sent 668. Shipments of late stock were
1486 cars, slightly heavier than the week
before. A .year ago 795 cars were shipped
during the same period.
A production of 20,672 cars of 200
barrels each of early Irish potatoes in
tine intermediate states is forecasted,
based on the condition of the crop June
L This Is an increase over 1921 of
about 1700 cars. Although the Indicated
yield per acre is the same as the reported
yield last year, the acreage planted is
greater.
Virginia Irish Cobblers No. 1 advanced
$1 in eastern cities to $6.507.5O per
barrel. . Carolina stock with gains of
50c-$l reached $67 in leading whole
sale markets. Texas, Louisiana and Ala
bama sacked Bliss Triumphs were about
steady at $2.753.75 per 100 pounds. In
middle western markets the old potato
season is nearing the close. Maine Green
Mountains closed strong in eastern mar
kets at $1.502 per 100 pounds. North
era round whites advanced 35c in Chi
cago and were active at $2.102.1o.
LATE ONION ACREAGE IS LARGER
Total Increase in Country This Year of
15 Per Cent.
The commercial onion acreage this
year has gained generally throughout the
late producing states, according to the
forecast of the department of agricul
ture.
The increase in Oregon is estimated at
6 per cent and in Washington at 33
per cent. New York state leads in acre
age with 7620 acres. Next in order among
the leading states come California with
7300 acres, Ohio with 6830 acres. Mas
sachusetts with 4900 acres, and Indiana
with 4790 acres. Texas acreage has in
creased from 800 acres in 1921 to 2500
acres this year.

mated acreages in the late-producing
states for 1922 and the revised final

CHICAGO, June 17. A closing bulge
similar to the one yesterday was th
only feature to an otherwise lifeless ses
sion In wheat on the board of trade to
day. At the finish wheat was He to c
higher, July $1.11 to $1.11, and Sep
tember $1.12 Vi to $1.12; corn un-,
changed to c lower; oats were un
changed to Mc off, while provision.
showed 7c to 12c decline.
'mere was a iac of entn-usiastic Duy
lng of wheat in the early trading. Scat
tered showers were reported in Okla
homa and Kansas and temperature,
throughout the southwest and central
west were lower, although the forecast
was for generally fair with rising tem
peratures.
Disappointing threshing returns on
wheat were received from Texas .and
Oklahoma, ,with mention of black rust
damage in the latter state. Commis
sion houses bought September on a mod
erate scale early and July came out
rather freoly, tending to widen the difr
ference somewhat. v
Corn and oats were rather dull. Local
traders bought corn early while com
mission houses sold whil the market
showed an easy .undertone.
Provisions were dull and easier with a
light trade.
The Chicago grain letter received yes-
teiday by the Overbeck & Cooke company
of Portland follows:
Wheat Week-end covering of contracts
made for an erratic market, but the buy
ing was more aggressive than the selling,
and at the close a strong tone obtained.
It was rather significant that, while the
crop reports averaged quite favorable
and advices were received from the ter
ritory adjacent to this market telling of
harvesting getting under way, the trade
gave less attention to this condition than
the fact that the situation has been ma
terially strengthened during the past sev
eral days. It is now understood that the
bulk of the wheat brought here for de
livery on May contracts has been dis
posed of and will not be a burden oti
the market in July as many expected.
Charters for 300,000 bushels were, made
to Buffalo today. Some of the lata
buying of futures was influenced by re
ports of disappointing threshing "returns
in Texas, with the cash market in
stronger position than for many weeks.
the market will be very susceptible to
any news which might indicate that the
final wheat yield is likely to be less than
suggested by the government in its June
report.
Corn Trade was not particularly
active and prices held within a com
paratively narrow range. . Some of the
early selling was based on reports of
bc-iieflcial rains over the belt, but the
strength in the cash market later stood
out as a more potent factor. The demand
for spot offerings today was exceptionally
good at gains of a quarter to a half cent
as compared with the futures. Country
seuing may increase somewhat on bulges,
but present indications are lor a mod
erate movement, while the commercial
demand promises to continue good. We
consider the market on an investment
basis.
Oats The market today marked time
with other grains, lacking independent
feature. There was a good demand in
the local spot market, and the basis was
urm. urop reports irom Illinois, maiara,
lowa, nansas and Missouri are unfavor
able, and with recent liquidation having
strengthened the technical position, the
tendency should be toward hieher levels.
Rve had a heavy tone and failed to
respond to the strength in wheat. The
most conspicuous trading was In th
rature of Exchanging between July and
September by seaboard Interests. Cash
ryo was not quotable, due to lack of re
ceipts.
Leading futures ranged as follows:

Freight Certificate Granted.
OTVTMPIA, Wash., June 17. (Spe
cial.) Because farmers for whom
he hauls milk from their places be
tween Tekoa and Spokane to the
latter market demanded that he
make purchases and deliver to them
on his return trip, the department
of public works today granted a
certificate of public convenience and
necessity for freight service to
Walter Brincker. iThe department
found-that Brincker, having no cer
tificate, had -refused to make such
deliveries but that other unlicensed
vehicles were making them. To
stop this unlicensed traffic the cer
tificate was granted despite the pro
test of the O.-W. R. & N. railroad,
which serves the same territory. No
certificate is required for hauling
farm produce and milk.

Disrespect for Statutes Declared
at Bottom of Most Difficult
Credit Situations.
(Copyright, 1922, by Public Ledger Co.
furnished oy Arrangement.)
CLEVELAND, June 17. (Special.)
"Disrespect for law and order is at the
bottom of most difficult credit situa
tions," said J. H. Tregoe, secretary-treasurer
of the Retail Credit Men's National
association, in convention here.
The foundation of disrespect for the
law is in so many foolish laws," he said.
"Last year the New Jersey legislature
enacted more than 2300 laws. 1 sup
pose '90 per cent of the people in New
Jersey do not know 10 per cent of the
200. Probably 90 per cent of them are
breaking laws without knowing it. How
can we avoid having disrespect for laws
when they are ground out that fast 7
New Jersey Isn't any worse than any
other state, either. Every state has a
new flood of bills every time the legis
lature sits. v
"During the period of its glory Rome's
legal code was so simple that all under
stood it and knew it, but in the decadent
period the code, was so large It filled a
huge library.
"There is a direct connection between
good citizenship and care about credit
standing. A good citizen respects the
law. It is the duty of every credit man
to strive to the utmost by example and
by propaganda to encourage respect for
the law and to stop the tlood of bills
that makes respect for the law impos
sible. When we have full respect for
the law we will have very few credit
problems." -
Mr. Tregoe did not attack the eight
eenth amendment as a cause for disre
spect for law, but on the contrary, up
held and praised it.
"Credit men know to what extent pro
hibition has benefited the country, and
retail credit men know particularly well
that it has decreased their risks many
fold," said Mr. Tregoe. "A minority is
trying to discredit prohibition for per
sonal Interests. This- minority consti
tutes a menace to democracy."
He attacked Samuel Gompers for his
recent criticism of the United States su
preme court.
"The safety of America is threatened
by barbarians like those who caused the
downfall of Rome," he said. "One of
the unfortunate tendencies of the present
day" Is to attack the courts. Our courts
have been our salvation ana we snouia
never utter a word against their integ
rity."
