ON BULK APPLES WOULD Buying oft Street Is Money Saver Retailers Lose Profits by Refusing' to - Shop Among Wholesalers. By Hymen H. Cohen The Journal has received complaints from a number of grocers regarding their inability to purchase . supplies ofttlmea at the prices Quoted. . The trouble with the average retail grocer today Is that he no longer visits Front street and shops around to secure his supplies at the lowesf possible mark, but secures his needs frorn peddlers of the wholesale houses or elke uses , the telephone Jn ordering his supplies., ," - - This is Indicated in the butter mar ket For Instance, the very beat quality storage butter is available from the leading , Front street handlers several cents a pound cheaper than peddlers charge. . , The same Is true of storage eggs.' Best candled storage eggs are available along the street at 64c a Cozen,, but ped dlers are asking around S8o a doaen to deliver to the stores.. - Bargains are obtainable In the whole sale trade all the time if grocers will come down -for them. - Those desiring special information regard ing any market, should write the .Market KUrtor uregon journal, enclosing stamp for ' reply. . , i - i i O i ii .-.-,r..

By David Lawrence Washington; Oct. 1 4. -possibly it was the weather, possibly ljl was an Intuition ot Inevitable strife, but the industrial peace conference at its Tuesday's session got all, tied up in sarcasm, contusion and" entangling procedure. And the clearest thing visible was the disinclination of the employer members of the confer ence, including some of that type on the public group, to take the initiative in settling the big steel strike. . - That la why Samuel dompers spoke satirically of the innocuous resolutions that were adopted In abstract matters. That is why the labor group scowled as .the committee of fifteen reported without recommendation labor's pro posal that a committee Of sit be ap pointed either from the membership or outside of it to settle the steel strike. LABOR If OT SATISFIED Labor plainly sees little of value In the conference , itself if an issue such as is involved in the steel strike is side stepped. While many members of the public group realize this, they are op posed to me mere appointment or a committee, without some definite nn derstandlng of principles which would guide a committee. For, it Is argued, If a committee from the conference un dertakes, for instance, . to recognize trades in the conference, it might be regarded as having sanctioned such a recognition. So as to avoid such in ferences or handicaps, the members ot the public group prepared to consider a counter proposition sponsored by Thomas L. Chad bourne, chairman of the committee of fifteen. Mr. Chad bourne's Idea is that a com mlttee should be appointed, but on the aennite nnaerstanamg max xirgt the men en an go oacK to work ana em ployers shall reinstate them, but that Immediately an elettion should be held to choose representatives of the work- meit TJWIOII HOT RECOGNIZED The committee of six would super vise such an election and that the com pany shall be required to , enter into collective bargaining arrangements with the representatives of the men, whose ever they happen to be, whether labor union men or not. That avoids absolute recognition of the trade union and at the same time leaves It to the' men to say who shall represent 'them. Elbert H. Gary,' head of the United States Steel corporation, hss contended that the union leaders did not represent the workmen. Until tlie definite question of who the work ers consider to be their leaders is de termined, tne futility ot appointing any fn m rVi ! t f o Ia eiwinmi th. atrMlt la nt- parent. The Steel corporation woulcft continually Question the source of au thcrlty of those who professed to speak for the laboring: men. JtAIJT POIST IXYOLYED but incidentally the point involved in Chart bourne's suggestion goes to the root of the industrial peace conference itxeif. The who'., affair depends upon Uiu right of workers to a representation in industry.- The Employers group stand ruady evidently tc1 grant representation. but the form of such representation Is tire heart of the matter, and shall each shop or plant be a unit, shall work' men be obliged to select their repre sentatives out of the shop to deal with fielr respective employes : or can they employ outside counsel, or . gents, or officials, as the corporations do in deal ing with the men? The conference ia tending toward solution like that Offered by the Colorado Fuel A Iron company,- after a distressful period of industrial warfare, where each plant elects their representatives, . but there Is no objection to the selection of trades union men lor representatives. WANT IMPARTIAL. BOARD The company is not required to deal with any but the chosen representatives of the men, and a : mutual agreement to submit differences to the state in dustriat commission for final adjust ment is binding upon both sides. In the creation of a national indus trial board with , district and local boards for the settlement of Industrial difficulties throughout the nation, . a parallel to the Colorado plan only on an large scale is oetng suggested. The plan to settle the steel strike by apply ing at once the principles of democratic choice Ot representatives, without co ercion of any sort, for the 'election in this case would be supervised by an im partial committee, is the -first step toward that democratization of Indus try which employers and employes here represented aay Is Inevitable. Labor Is anxious for a settlement of the steel strike. It Is insisting upon some action on that phase of industrial unrest at once, because the fate of trade unionism In the steel 'districts hangs in the balance, UNIONISM OR BOLSHEVISM The employers think a defeat means the, death knell of the unions. The labor leaders say a defeat means the downfall of the conservatives in their ranks and the substitution for them of the radicals, who will approximate- BoU shevlsta in their methods. Throughout the conference the union labor people seem to have glven the impression that the alternative to union taoor is Bol shevism. Most of the employers, group do not take such an Intimation serious ly, though it has made its impression on the public, who would prefer har mony and a reconciliation of difficul ties to any stubborn desire on the side of capital or labor to prove by future strife which Happened to have been right The different groups are floundering around in the discussion of general principles. That was Inevitable) at the start, but the steel strike Is still the concrete test of the potential value ot the industrial peace conference.
