MARKET SCENE OF NEAR RIOT OVER BERRIES Buyers Protest as Hubbard ! Growers Are Prevented Selling . at 95 Cents a Crate Because of Failure to Meet Conditions. . Market Master Eastman will not soon forget the "strawberry riot" which clogged traffic at Fifth and Yamhill streets wjtha throng of ex cited men and women shoppers be tween 6: 30 'and 9 a. m. today. An overflow meeting of indignant early buyers crowded Eastman's office and demanded an explanation of his action in refusing the Hubbard berry growers" the privilege of selling strawberries on the public market at 95 cents a crate. j Fred Wright, sales manager of the Hubbard Berry Growers' association, stated Jthat he had arranged - for stalls on the south side of Yamhill street, be tween. Fourth and Fifth, for the sale of the berries. Wright was on : hand at 5:30 this morning with a truck load of strawberries, . which were being ; seized by eager buyers, when Eastman arrived at 7 o'olock and forbade the use of the public market ' to . Wright and his asso ciates. . .t .OTHERS SELL AT $1.85 i Wright stated that the berries were grown on his own place and that he had a right to a stall on the market. He met scant sympathy from other berry mer chants, who held their -price at $1.85 a crate, as opposed to Wright's price of 95 cents. i Eastman said that a special statement had been prepared for Wright to sign, showing that the strawberries 'offered for sale were being sold by individual growers and not by an association. He said Wright had neglected to sign this statement and for that reason he had been denied the privilege of the public market. i Eastman stated that associations of growers are net allowed to rent alalia on the market.. Wright, on the other hand, averred that the Japanese ' association fixes the price of berries and other prod ucts sold by Its members on the. public mfket:.'iAn-m -vH-k - - ' - --" 00 IX ASSOCIATION There are about 200 members of the Hubbard Berry - Growers' association, according to-Wright, and he stated that arrangements would be made during the day for marketing .their berries in Port land. t "W have a large- crop of berries, and, unless they are sold during the next few days, .thousands of crates will spoil on the vines. We .proposed -to give ' the working people of the city the benefit of the surplus and refuse to join other growers' associations in hold ing up the price. . I. "If the market master would give per mission, we would keep our stalls open on the public market until 8 . o'clock Friday and Saturday nights to give working people a chance to get berries at the low price." MUST 8IG, SAYS EASTMAN i Eastman said - no special privilege would be granted the Hubbard berry growers. If the special form prepared by him were signed by" Wright, he and his associates would be allowed to oc cupy stands on the , market during regular' hours, Eastman said. During the morning the .prevailing price of strawberries on the public market re mained at $1.75 to $1.85 a crate. i Telephone . .messages from" angry housewives were coming to The Jour nal all day, and many were x the heated remarks made regarding the action of the market master. 25 FEET PREDICTED FOR WILLAMETTE ' Steady rises in the upper Colum bia and Snake rivers continue this morning .so that now the backwater flood in the Willamette Is expected to reach a height of 25 feet at Port land Monday.' Below seasonal average temperatures continue to prevail in the upper drainage country, with no prospect of hot weather for some time to come. For this reason the weather bureau says the end of the flood Is not in sight - - ; ,At Wenatchee, this morning the river rose .6 of a foot and at Lewiaton the Snsftie river rose .5 df a foot Already a stage of 41.4 feet has been recorded at The Dalles, and the steady rises up stream will send the gauge up rapidly Friday. At Portland the river reached a height of 23.8 feet. This was the same height reached '.by the river in-the ; floods of 1916 and 1917.. The weather bureau pre dicts that the flood will reach a height of 24.3 feet Saturday, and this will be .1 of a foot higher than any flood- since that of 1894. Sunday it is predicted that the river will, reach a height, of 24.7 feet, and a continued . rise will probably send the river to a stage of 25 feet by Monday morning. . Only five times. in the records of the weather bureau has the flood stage gone above 25 feet. These times were in 1894,-1887, 1882. 1880. and 1S7S. .
