18 -4 SUP AT COLUMBIA GHHEL RESENTED Article in Eastern Magazine Declared Unfair.. ' WRECK TALE PROTESTED Statements 'With Reference Sinking of British Steamer Held Unwarranted. to Publication in the July number of Shipping, a widely known New York maritime magazine, of an article dealing with the wreck of the Brit ish steamer Welsh Prince May 28, off Altoona, which includes state ments and inferences held unfriend ly to Portland as a port, has result ed in a protest being sent to the publishers through the New York office of the port traffic bureau. . The article is dated Port of As toria, Or., and is credited to J. De witt Gilbert as the writer. The in troduction says: "The sinking of the British steam ship Welsh Price in the channel of the Columbia river will have no ef fect upon shippnig in the Port of Astoria district, either directly or indirectly, as the wreck lies 15 miles above Astoria and well beyond the boundaries of the harbor. The Welsh Prince and the American steamer Iowan came together in the channel of the Columbia off Altoona. Confusion of slgnalswas apparently to blame for the accident, in which teven men lost their lives. Had the channel to the inland ports been wider there would have been no col lision, in the opinion of rivermen. The British ship sank crosswise in thetehannel and is proving a serious obstacle." Astoria Held Benefited. Another part' of the story reads: "Some delays, have been occa sioned in ships reaching or Jeaving the inland ports mqre than 100 miles up the Columbia, on account of the wreck aid the Royal Mail Steam Packet company ordered that its ship Cardiganshire be taken up and down the river only in daylight. Astoria, between-the wreck and the sea, has benefited rather than lost by the disaster, which could hardly have occurred in its own big har bor. The channel where the Welsh Prince was lost begins several miles above Astoria where the estuary, which forms that city's harbor, nar rows into a stream." Harry L. Hudson, manager of the traffic bureau of the Port of Port land aW commission of public docks, has telegraphed C. A. Lock hart, at New York, eastern traffic agent of the port, to inform the edi tor of Shipping that strong excep tions -are taken to the publication of the story. Mr. Hudson remarked yesterday that if a confusion of signals was responsible for the collision he was at a loss to figure how channel con ditions could be blamed as well, say ing that collisions at sea, as well as one last week on the expansive waters of Puget sound, could not be taxed to channels. As to the ship sinking "crosswise in the . channel and proving a serious obstacle," Mr. Hudson pointed out that the vessel was well toward the Oregon shore and only a portion of the after part on the range. Vessels Passing Easily. "Charts compiled by the corps of engineers of the United States army, in charge of channel work, show there is 2500 feet of water between the vessel and the Washington shore, the collision having occurred one-quarter of a mile above th& narrowest part of the channel," said Mr. Hudson. "Vessels are passing the sunken ship 500 feet away and for fully 2000 feet from the Welsh Frince the depths range ffom 30 to 60 feet. "As to the statement that the accident could hardly have occurred in Astoria's own harbor, records in the office of the Port of Portland commission, which I have gone over today, show that on the morning of August 24, 1913, the Norwegian steamer Thode Fagelund and the German bark Thlelber were in col lision off the O.-R. & N. dock at Astorja. - That was a serious matter, and while not entailing loss of life, piled up expensive litigation. Also It is not amiss to point out that at the Flavel shoal, Just below the port docks at Astoria, there is a channel 400 to 600 feet wide, and just below Fort Stevens the chan nel Is about the same, so it would not seem that the entrance to As toria harbor has advantages over the channel to Portland." Shipping Not Delayed.. As to the Royal Mail having, re stricted the movements of the Car diganshire, that is pointed to as not having any bearing in the mat ter, since a larger ship, the Lewis Luckenbach, passed the wreck at night twice last week on the round trip to Portland. -The Cardigan shire is 500.3 feet loiig, with a beam of 62.4 feet and d?pth of hold of 34.6 feet. The Lewis Luckenbach is B27H feet long, 68 feet beam and 40 feet depth of hold, having a maxi mum deadweight capacity of 18.000 tons, a package capacity of 751,149 cubic feet, grain capacity of 865,844 cubic feet and a loaded displace ment of 24,000 tons. As to the wreck delaying shipping, records at the office of the Colum bia river pilots show that on May 30 the Japanese steamer Yoshida Maru No. 1 left down drawing 26 feet and the following day the Dutch motorship' Dinteldyk sailed, drawing 27.4 feet: June 2, City of Rangoon, 28.2 feet: June 3, J. A. Moffett, 26 feet; June 4, Cape Or tegal, 25.8 feet, and F. J. Lucken bach 23.8 feet; June 5, Mexican, 24 feet; June 7, La Brea, 28 feet; June 9, Hollywood, 26.5 feet; June 11, Panaman, 28.3 feet: June 15, Glas gow Maru, 28.6 feet, and Aden Maru, 28.3 feet, and June 18, the battleship Connecticut. 27 feet, with a number of deep draft ships since.

TAOOMA, Wash., July 22. Reports from San Francisco stating -that the Garland Steamship line -intended to enter the intercoastal trade and operate be tween New YorK and Puget sound were received with considerable interest by Tacoma shipping men who are familiar with this company. For a number of years the Garland ' line had the Justin and Javary plying out of .Tacoma to the orient. . These steamers were with drawn at the close of the war and sent to the east coast. The Garland line, for a number of years has been interested in shipping on the Atlantic coast and to Europe. When this firm entered the Pacific trade, to bacco export business was handled by its vessels with return cargo being made up of oil. The company did have six vessels in the eastern trade at one time. The Nlka, of the McCormick line, will be due Monday at the Terminal dock to load box shocks and other cargo for San Francisco.

SPRAGUE. (By Chicago Tribune Leased Wire.) NEW YORK, July 22. The course of today's stock market differed little from that of Friday, prices moving irregular ly throughout the two hours of trading. Again it was evident that the market has lost much of its enthusiasm and the more serious aspects of the strike situa tion were realized. There were scattered advances here and there, but excepting In the case of specialties quotations moved within narrow limits, with a certain de gree of heaviness apparent, . considering the list aa a whole. . Again it was noticeable, however, that prices did not give -way sharply under such selling pressure as existed. The undertone was actually strong in the face of the week's developments. With regard to. the two strikes, which are in the eyes of most people at the moment na which are receiving particu lar attention from the financial com munity, developments continued to be a character that showed a wide breach between' the companies and the men. When all is said. Wall street seems to be stilt of the opinion that some basis of settlement will be arrived at before many days have passed and particular notice was given to the conferenoe be tween President Harding and Chairman Hooper of the labor board.. But perhaps more Important than this in creating a more favorable view of the outcome of the difficulties was the dis position of several of the roads to make separate agreements with the 'men, as was done in the case of the Pennsyl vania. It may be that ultimately this may be tKe chfef mbde of 'settlement which will bring to an end the rail strike. 9 In relation to the coal strike the idea Of rationing supplies of coal could hardly be looked upon with other - than some degree of alarm, since such a plan if put into eiiect auring tne coming months might cause discrimination arainst in dustry and a reflection of enforced In activity in income statements. The foreign . exchange market a (rain held within narrow . bounds and the vol ume of transactions was relatively small. Marks declined to .10 of a cent. Continued pressure on marks can un doubtedly be expected until such time as the reparations question is settled. Chicago Potato Market. ' CHICAGO, July 22. Potatoes weaker; prices lower; demand and movement slow. Receipts, 92 cars; on track, 235 cars; total United States shipments, 632 cars. Eastern shore Virginia, barrel, Cobblers, No. 1, $3.854; Kansas sacked Cobblers, $l.801.90;. few sales sacked Early Ohios, partly graded, slightly d:rty,- best, $1.251.50;- poorer, $1.10 1.25 Minnesota sacked Early Ohios, partly graded, $1. 35 1.40; bulk, $1.40 1.45; closing prices yesterday, Washing ton sacked Netted Gems, No. 1, one car, $1.60, WITH FREER BUYING Advance-in Prices Reflects Better Trade Outlook. TANNERS STRONG BUYERS Transactions in Packers Aggre gate Over 30fl,000 Hides; Coun try Grades Also Firmer. ,. The L imiiTt improvement in business throughout the .country- is reflected in the hie market, which has taken on a stronger tone. Hides are usually the first commodity .to;, show the upward or downward trend" of average prices, and when any gain )s apparent in this line it is aafe to say that' things on the whole are better In the business world. Packer hides have developed sudden activity in the large eastern centers un der liberal buying, principally by a large sole leather tanner. Other leather pro ducers also operated and it is estimated that total trading in packer stock aggre gated over 800,000 hides. From 60,000 to 65,000 native steers were absorbed at 17 He as a basis for heavy, around 657000 light native cows at 15c and 40,000 heavy native cows at 1616ttc, prac tically' all of June' salting, .except that fully 20,000 of the heavy native cows were. December-January kill, containing some old "strike" hides at 12c. Other dealings consisted of branded stock at 16 He for heavy Texas and butt brands. and 15c for Coloradoa June branded cows sold first at 14c and later at 14c In New York the same buyers cleared the market on native and branded steers at the usual half-cent differential for koshers, or 17c for natives, 16c for butts and 15c for Colorado. Country hides naturally reflect add! tional strength, in keeping with packers and the general market. Business, how ever, is restricted more or less by small suppliesv high asking prices and. the reluctance of eastern dealers to. make offerings, as they are more or less . in clined to speculate on the futtyre. , . Foreign hides partake of the general trend of the market, with River Plate frlgorifico steers bringing full prices. notwithstanding the winter Season, and all varieties of River Plate wet salted stock are closely sold up. In dry hides common varieties of Latin-Americans are strengthening, with sales of Orino cos up to 15c. Bogota descriptions cannot be confirmed as sold at over 18c as a basis for superior descriptions, al though there have been reports of the market reaching 19c, possibly on export business. OFFERS FOR WHEAT UNCHANGED Supply on Market Small and Trade Quiet at Close of Week. Offers for wheat were unchanged yesterday and with offerings light,- the amount of business done was small. There was no session of the Merchants' Exchange, owing to the lack of i quorum. - ' - The Chicago wire the Gray-Rosen baum Grain company follows: "While sentiment is overbearislv it seems justified by prevailing conditions. Receipts good, volume and buying power entirely too limited to absorb constant pressure, Buyers lack confidence and prices appear to be headed toward lower level, subject to such bulges .that shorts may produce. Too much wheat in sight to create constructive situation, The Liverpool wheat market closed unchanged to -cent lower at lis ld for July and 10s 4d for September, Buenos Aires wheat closed 1 cent higher with August and September at Terminal receipts, in cars, ' were re ported by the Merchants Exchange as follows: Portland .

The leather situation continues gen erally firm, but the volume of trade has fallen off to some extent, due partly to recent holidays and the fact that many shoe factories have been closed for stock: taking. Sole leather business has been Interrupted, but prices are firm, as a rule. More trade is ex pected from now on, as many factories have completed inventories and resumed operations. Offal is unchanged in price, with double rough shoulders rather In active, but about all other kinds are in steady demand and firmly held. Har ness leather Is Btill selling well and rules firm at late advances. Belting butts are firm and unchanged,- with a good demand. ' - Business In upper leather has de creased to some extent, as was to be expected at this time, but. prices con tinue very firm. Some producers of calf have raised prices on an average -of 5 cents and some sales have been made at these increases. Other producers have not advanced prices as much as this. There is still a steady demand for grades of glazed kid suitable for popular priced ehoes, and some large accumu lations that existed last May have dwin dled materially, Production of patent leather contjnues large, but demand Is apparently adequate to absorb supplies. Regular chrome sides are strong, and asking rates for good colors made from extreme hides are up as much as 20 per cent, in some cases. MANAGER NOT .

' No appointment has been made yet by the directors of .the Pacific Co-operative Poultry Producers to fill the vacancy in the office of manager.

Published by Arrangement.), PHILADELPHIA, July 22. (Special.) J. Shirley Eaton voices the very inter- esting question as to the rights of the j third party meaning the great bulk of j nw pcuyie in inese unuea eiaies. n . points out that under our system of free contracts, buyer and seller, whether of labor or of commodities, make the bar gains between themselves without con sulting anyone else. This is correct in principle, but with the growth and increasing IntricacteB of business, the bargaining concentrates into fewer and fewer hands proportion ately. Labor masses to establish the highest possible wage scale. Its bar gaining is done by business agents or union heads. The individual workman has no more of an active, personal de termination of his working status than he has in the nomination of the gov ernor of the state. Labor protests against labor being treated or handled as a commodity, but union chiefs handle labor on a commodity basis. On the other hand, with the. passing of capital, control of large corporations is concentrated. The great majority of stockholders have no more voice In man agement or policies than the great ma jority of 'laborers in union labor affairs, Bankers and a few large stockholders dominate directories, although they own. as a rule, a minority of stock. Through centralized control vast bargaining and baying power is in few hands. Thinking Done by Few. The great bulk - of stockholders, like the great bulk of labor. Is led and doesn't lead. It doesn't think or act. Its thinking Is done for it. So long as its dividends or its wages are good it is content. Only its pocketbook nerve is sensitive. Big business has become rigid and big labor rigid, too. Each acts, to a large degree, without special consideration for that great body, the general public. The writer once- asked the president of a very big railroad how he came to be chosen for that position. The presi dent's eply was that he had been se lected by naming a great millionaire to represent his interests. The holdings of the' millionaire in that road are large and the prosperity of that road is es sential to the prosperity of a large sec tion of the republic, but the meat in the cocoanut is that the president Is re sponsible primarily to the millionaire, and secondarily to the corporation or the public, although that property is a public service corporation. This may seem a fine distinction, but it illustrated the subordination of the public In con sideration. Mass In Effect Minority. Recently here was a strike of 'about 20,000 milk wagon drivers in New York. Their quarrel was with some half dozen or so large distributors. No thought was given of loss to the farmer-producer or the probably 8,000,000 persons In met ropolitan New York, or the babies, the invalids, the nursing mothers, the aged and infirm. To imperil the lives of many people was minor in the strike. At the present time about 600,000 miners and some thousands of coal oper ators are engaged in Industrial war that affects the business of the whole country and may. visit great loss, Jf not hard ship, on many. Regardless of the merits of the controversy, what Justice is there in a system that permits the infliction of loss or Injury upon the great body of the public by minorities, who not in-' frequently base their hope of success on this loss or injury? Labor and capital are protected in their "rights," but who protects the public in Us rights? Has the public any rights? Rights of Labor Guarded. The rights of labor are guarded ten derly. Gompers and his associates cry to high heaven for the rights of labor, Capital does the same when Its sacred preserves are touched. But the public is almost voiceless and practically inert. Timidly, patiently, passively, general business has watched the coal strike, with its attendant features of murder, arson .nd terrorism. It has seen the rail strike develop, with, its restrictions on transportation east, west, north and south, j. It has seen the heads of the railroad unions show theft" contempt of the railroad tabor board, a. government body. Every group seems to have "rights" except the public. It would seem to be about time for the vast majority to dis cover some rights that are tehirs and assert them. Unless they do this horror of indus trial warfare will know no end. WHEAT UNDER PRESSURE DECEMBER SELLS AT LOWEST PKICES OF SEASON. Export Business .Good, But Does Not Bring in General Specu lative Buying at Chicago. BY CHARLES D. MICHAELS. (By Chicago Tribune Leased "Wire.) CHICAGO, July 22. Heaviness with a declfne to the lowest prices of the season for December wheat and to the lowest for all futures of oats, with only a frac tional gain at the close, marked grain trading.

A feature of the trading was the sell- Ing of July and buying of September by "ouf " "l " ' J oepiemoer nothing new on the strike situation: Crop news was generally favorable. The move- ment svas Increased. The three south - western markets had 679 cars, against 391 cars a week ago, and 1579 cars last .year. Kansas City alone had 81 cars. Chicago received 2.502.000 bushels of wheat and shipped 649,000 bushels. Ex port business was good and the sea board was a liberal buyer of September and July without affecting prices. A little buying of corn was on early on reports of temperatures of 100 to 308 tj? 4ast two days at Garden City. Kan., which is in the western - section.' It strengthened values for a time, but the break in wheat and general selling pres sure carried the' price down to the lowest of the season, 6054c, with practically no rally at the last. Oats were under pressure from specula tors and liquidating longs, with Decem ber getting the poorest support and heaviest selling, dropping to 86,4c, with the close at 86c. There were export sales of 325.000 bushels and total sale. of 445.000 bushels. Rye was bought by exporters and sold bv local traders and northwestern hedgers. Trices declined and closed around the bottom, The Chicago grain letter, received yei- terday by the Overbeck & Cooke com I pany of Portland follows: Wheat. It was a weak market from start to finish, with all news such as j might ordinarily create strength having little or no Influence. The large export business done yesterdav was the subject of much comment, but it was not a mar ket factor, the idea being that railroad labor difficulties will soon be adjusted and will be followed by an Influx of grain from .the country of proportions to overwhelm the demand.

The grain trade has become very bearish whu. . ber of the exporters are bullish.' but the speculators ignore the cash business and pay more attention to increasing re ceipts than to the export buying, which is absorbing the arrivals at rM rQ , Corn and oats specialists say that l" "iqumauon anead In both grains. uulc "icre is more outside support, they predict lower prices. It would, be well for the bulls who are enthusing over export business in wheat to refer back to this period last year when an enormous business was going on, say J. T. McLaughlin & Co.: ' August clearances of wheat were 86. 965.000 bushels. Even with this big busi ness doing September wheat sold from $1.344 on July 15 to $1.16 on September 30. December wheat will be called on to take enormous hedging sales, and we look for much lower prices for It." Primary receipts of wheat for the three -weeks of July aggregate 20.190.000 bushels, compared with 29,919.000 bush els last year. The big decrease is at Chicago. Kansas City and St. Louis.

YJUIN EXPORTS INCREASE PRICES FIRM IX BRITISH CLOTH MARKET. Moderately Large Business in Egyptian Spinnings Done. Users Buying Promptly. (Copyright, 1922, by the Public Ledger Company. Published by Arrangement.) BRADFORD, England, July 22. (Spe cial.) Generally speaking, the cotton, yarn and cloth market has been more interesting during the last few weeks, and the tone throughout is not nearly so despondent as was previously the case, the .encouraging yarn exports and the continuance of more satisfactory reports from the weaving districts hav ing been entirely In accordance with the wishes of spinners. To many buyers the advanced prices are not palatable, but there Is less weakness altogether than there has been, and although there Is much variation in the position of sellers, the necessity of paying substantially higher figures than were ruling a few weeks ago is a very real factor, which has to be recog nized by buyers in all sections of the market. With the increased demand for yarn which has recently made its appearance. spinners generally are more hopeiut about arriving at a basis that will en able them at any rate to do business without loss, and there is no doubt that. with the removal of stocks and the readier disposal of current production, tne situation Is certainly sounder than was hitherto the case. i arn users have been promptly buy ing when cloth sales of any magnitude required coverine. Bundles for exoort have been in moderate demand and with many sellers fairly well engaged, prices nave oeen nrm throughout. Egyptian spinners have been firm, .and in some counts a moderately large business has been put through. The firmness of prices in the cloth market has been a prominent feature during the week, and in several direc tions transactions of fair dimensions have been concluded. Manufacturers have throughout maintained the deter mination to have better terms If they consent to do business, for yarns are not nearly so cheap and easy to buy as iney were, and the reports respect ing cotton have hardly been of the na ture to encourage selling with the idea oi covering to advantage later. CATTLE SHIPMENTS STAKT 8O0 Animals on Pasture Near Haines Are About Keady for Market, A eral HAINES, Or' July 22. fSnecinl. On account of the lack of moisture the Haines valley during the last several weeKS, cattle on pasture have fattened rapidly and shipments of grass-fed stock will begin soon from this section. The low-priced hay raised in this sec tion last year was responsible for ranch ers stocking their farms heavily with cattle. The long, severe winter ex hausted the hay supply, and now the upward tendency of the market for prime hay, coupled with the prospect for a short second crop, is causing the farmers to look forward to a profit from their hay. There is a general belief among feed ers that It will be more profitable to sell the stock when it is ready for market and also get, a fair return for hay later than to feed the hay.
