Voluntary Reduction of 30 Cents
Made in Sugar; Coffee Is on
Decline; Canned Milk Tumbles;
Mutton, Eggs Show Weakness.
By Hyman H. Cohen
Portland wholesale grocers have
become the Henry Fords of the food
stuff market. They have voluntarily
cut their profits on sugar SO cents
a hundred pounds, making the new
wholesale price of granulated rot
higher than $15 a hundred pounds
This? would mean a retail price of
not more than $18.
Since the high point the price of sugar
has almost been cut in half in the trade
and the market continues extremely
weak.
Then there Is i&ffee. A very huge
crop is in aigbt in South and Central
America and prices are being shaded
generally.
To go with the coffee the condensar
les have now named lower prices on
canned milk. Despite the recent ad
vance forced in the price of fresh mi4k
the canners Friday dropped their whole
sale prices SO cents a case. Retail prices
are also tumbling in sympathy.
PORK TUMBLES AGAIX
Packers again cut the price of live
hogs 60 cents a hundred pounds in the
stockyards and the dressed meat price
will be lowered accordingly. Then it is
up to the retailer to make good with
the consumer.
Mutton and lambs are also ehowlng
lower prices and Mrs. Consumer should
not overlook this when buying.
Chickens are showing a very bad
break In wholesale prices for , recent
days and retail values are at least 6
cents a pound lower.
Eggs have begun to show weakness
and some dealers are beginning to shade
prices. .

Picketing Lav of

By High Tribunal
In Two Decisions
Salem, Oct. 1. The constitution
ality of the Oregon picketing law.
granting to labor unions the right
to picket places of business involved
in a dispute with employes over
wages or labor conditions. Is upheld
In an opinion written by Justice
Johns and handed down by the
Oregon supreme court .Friday.
In an opinion in the case of Georce L.
Greenfield vs. the Central Labor council
of Portland, the decree of Judge McCourt
of the Multnomah county circuit court
is mocmeo, and. in effect, reversed, the
supreme court holding that, inasmuch
as the controversy between the employ
ers and employes Involved a question of
laoor, employes had recourse to peaceful
picketing under the Oregon law.
The injunction granted by the Multno
mah county circuit court against the
Portland Labor council In the Helt
kemper case, however, is sustained in the
opinion of the supreme court, and the
right of the employes to picket is denied
on the grounds that the controversy in
volved only an attempt to compel recog

either a condition of wages or conditions
of labor.

JAPAN ROILED
Senator's Attitude Provocative-
Says Tokio Newspaper Vis
count Saga Warns Countrymen
Beware of "Arrogant America."
By Henry W.-Kinney
Tokio, Oct. 1. (U. P.) The ques
tion of Japanese-American relations
today was drawing increasing atten
tion among Japanese leaders.
"Japan must gird her loins to deal
successfully with arrogant America."
declared Viscount Saga, an Influential
leader, in a statement of his views on
the International situation.
The more sensational newspapers con
tinued their anti-American agitation.
The Yorodxu. quoting from Senator
Harding's speech on the Japanese ques
tion, declared his attitude was "pro
vocative" and asked If the Japanese will
remain Indifferent on a question of life
or death of their race.
FEOPAGAXDA SCENTED
"America has large quantities of mu
nitions stored . and munitions merchants
are making a supreme effort with anti
Japanese propaganda,'' the paper said.
The conservative element, however,
was Jess excited and pointed out that
the proposed California legislative pro
gram does not mean the Japanese will
be driven from America.
Viscount Qkuma today denied; that hlsJ
purpose In calling a meeting of leaders
was to agitate the situation but that he
merely wants the leaders of Japan to
discuss a means of solving the question.
He deplored the coldness of the Japan
ese people toward their brothers in Cal
ifornia. OfflcJiSdenied rumors that agitation
here is partly government propaganda.
At the same time newspapers and
younger officials complain that the high
authorities are keeping secret their pol
icies. MAT 8EXD C0MMIS8I05
Proposals for Viscounts Kaneko and
Shlbusawa. representing the Japanese
government, to go to the United States
