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. .

ON CONFERENCE
SOLVING STRIKE
Gompers Becomes Satirical When
Employers Show Their Indif
ference to Steel Settlement
GROUPS TORN BY STRIFE
Union Men Assert Employers Are
Not in Eirnest; They Claim
: Bolshevism h Actual Danger.
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.

PUBLIC GR0LT IS SPLIT-
, ON ARBITRATION RESOLUTION
By William O. Shepherd ' '
Washlngton.'-Oct 15 (I. N. 8.) The,
labor group facing the crisis of the con;
tercnoe went Into President Wilson's In-
hluBtrial meeting today minus their
leader, Samuel Oorspers. whose illness
is considered grave by the members Of
the labor group. , , - , ' r
Gompers' absence rrom the confer
nee room caused the labor group im
mediately to hold a secret meeting to
select a spokesman and to decide upon
a plan of action.
SEEM HOPELESSLY DIVIDED r
At the same time members ot the
public group were in deep consultation
in reference to the position they should
take on the Gompers resolution de
manding Immediate arbitration of,, the
steel - strike. It was learned that the
representatives of the publio bad -".
meeting at t o'clock , this .morning and
found the group hopelessly; divided on .
th question ot steel strike 'arbitration. -:
Several of the group were openly op
posed to the Gompers resolution; others
believed that arbitration, under the cir
cumstances, ' is a fair proposal, while
still others, headed by Dr. Charles W,
Eliot, hold that the conference should
Ignore the resolution; entirely and pro
ceed tO general . discussion" ot the ln
duBtrlal situation.
- Later It leaked out that the star cham
ber caucus of the publio group this
morning was one of the most dramatic
incidents ot the conference,
GARY CALLED TO ACCOCNT
Judge E. H. Gary, chairman o the
United States Steel corporation, openly
declared that the labor group was try
ing to force the closed shop on his cor
poration and using the conference to
further the special interest of the la
bor group. "' ' I
J. J. Forrester, president of the Broth
erhood of Railway-Clerks and) Express
men, who is sitting in the publio group,
arcse and demanded to know what right
Mr. Oery had to "speak defining. the
position of labor." He asked Mr. Gary
harply whether he ''knew more : about
th position of organised ' labor than
Samuel Gompers." -- "
While he was speaking thus uncere
moniously Dr.. Eliot hastily moved, ad
journment. ; Forrester refused to be in
terrupted and Insisted on his "right to
call Mr. Gary to account." ' a -
Forrester finished and the group ad
journed without taking any action on
either the Gompers resolution or a com-
promise measure..
DELEGATES LOOK RUFFLED I j
The publio delegates came into the '
general conference room looking ruf
fled after the nearly two hours' heated
debate. . i
The lack of unifying principles In the
"public" group is becoming more and
more a marked feature of the confer
ence "They have about as many ideas
in common as a crowd on a New York
subway train.", said a conference otitis
after the group fight came to light this
morning.
Frank Morrison, secretary of the A.
F. of JU, waa selected by the labor group
to apeak for that body in the absence
