TO BE CLOSED
Freights -Traffic : Condition
Makes Early Action by
Growers Necessary
At a meeting of the Willamette
valley district directors of the Ore
gon Growers' Cooperative associa
tion held In Salem Friday it was
decided to make an early close
out ,'of the' prune pools already
signed up. The uncertain condi
tion .of freJbt to, the nation-wide
strike, has Impelled the
d irec tors npt ' to "flra g, the ma tt er
indefinitely. Other pools may be
formed. , however. If there are
enough to come in, as it is thought
there will be.
Separate: Agreements Favored.
Separate pooling agreements
are favored for the two varieties
of, prunes, the Petites and the Ore
gons or Italians. They appeal to
different districts and to differ
ent kinds of markets, and the dii-
rectors believe that it would be
more satisfactory to place each in
a separate class. The enormous
tonnage of Oregon prunes this fall
would Insure a big business in tw
separate divisions.
The Salem plant received Sat
urday a carT)f dried loganberries
from the iNewberg district, which
practically cleans up the associa
tions Newberg holdings of this
class of fruit. . The berries are to
be canned! In Salem, in eight-ounc
papepr cartons. A painful dela
in the receipt of the cartons has
held up the packing and delivery
of a vast ! quantity of the berries
that had already been evaporated
in the Salem plants. ;
Pears Canned Monday.
The - cannery opens on pears
Monday, with a good supply of
fruit ripe enougfto handle. Black
berries are being canned daily In
the Oregon Growers" plant
thought not in very large quanti
ties. They are coming in to some
of the other plants that specialize
on these berries, in 'great profu
sion. All ; the plants are runnin?
steadily on pears, practically tc

STRONG APPEAL
Oregon Senator Receives
, Strong Support for Re-
clamation Amendment
WASHINGTON, Ang. 28.Sen.
ate debate today on ( the soldiers'
bonds bill centered largely on the
land reclamation amendment of
fered, by Senator McNary. Repub
lican, Oregon, bat neither that
nor any of the other amendments
offered came to a vote. :
The unanimous consent agree
ment limiting ' discussion-; on
amendments to 20 minutes to
each senator, will become opera
tive tcmorrow and leaders were
hopeful that a final vote on the
bill itself could be had before ad-
ournxaent.
Two Voice Opposition
In the discussion . today, Sena
tors Wadsworth of New ork and
Sterling of South Dakota, Repub
licans, voiced their opposition to
be .bonus, although Senator Ster
ling supported the reclamation
project. Senators Nicholson, Re
publican, Colorado, and Heflln,
Democrat, Alabama, supported
the bill, the former also arguing
n favor of the McNary amend
ment.
Business Men Attacked
Senator Nicholson attacked the
business men opposing the bon
us, mentioning particularly the
United States Steel corporation
and -the Standard Oil company.
He charged that the latter com-:
pany profited through 'uncon
scionable" prices charged during
the war and declared that it ill
became Judge E. H. Gary, chair
man of the board of the steel cor
poration, to oppose adjusted com
pensation for the veterans when
his company had made "gTeat
profits" during the war.
Senator Wadsworth was partic
ular, vigorous in his attack on
the measure. He declared that
the bonus could be financed only
through taxes now or later and
that the American i- people had
reached a limit in the burden
they could bear.
Veterans Must Work Harder
Also he argued that the veter-
ansfbemselves, their wives and
their children would have to work
but the harder in the years to
come to pay back the money the
former soldiers received which,
hie contended, would be in3uftic
lent to afford any lasting bene
fits. '
The New York senator argued
tnaY"th"e measure, 'could f 'not be
properly termed ' on "adjusted
compensation" bill, because it
proposed to treat all men alike.
no matter what their pay inwar
time, and whether they needed
assistance.
Bank Loan Attacked
Attacking-the bank loan pro
vision; he asserted that this was
an invitation from the government
to. self-respecting men to borrow
from the banks and then repudi
ate their notes, leaving to the
government the payment of the
sums borrowed.
In presenting his reclamation
amendment. Senator McNary told
the senate that it afforded an op
portunity for congress , to do "i
great thing In empire building'
by reclaiming arid lands in the
west; and swamp and cut-over
lands in the south and east.
Ho argued also that it .would
give -opportunity to veterans de
siring to get back to: the land, to
acquire homesteads with govern
ment aid and operate to maintain
a much needed balance between
the rural and urban, population
McNary Strongly Supported
The. reclamation plan, received
the support also of several sena
tors from the west nd south, and
was unopposed in the debate.
Senators Ransdell, Louisiana
and Fletcher, Florida, Democrats
pictured' the benefits that would
accrue in their states, while Sen
ators, Walsh of Montana and Pitt
man, Nevada, Democrats, joined
Sena tor. McNary in, reviewing the
benefits that had resulted from
the enactment of tho basic recla
mation law in 1302.

Salem Man Commends' Sat
urday Evening Post Editor
for Recent Article
F. W. Jobelman of Salem has
sent a telegram to George Horace
Lorimer, editor of the Saturday
Evening Post, commending an
editorial entitled "Fair Wages" in
this week's edition of the Post,
and suggesting that a copy of the
editorial be submitted to . tho
heads of 1000 industries' and
newspapers in the United States.
The telegram says
"Your editorial headed 'Fair
Wages' is exceptionally clear and
instructive. Respectfully suggest
submitting copy to heads of 1000
leading industries and newspapers
requesting opinion. : Select most
sffiking and print seriatim, there
by stimulating, sober, intelligent
thinking and promoting better un
derstanding present industrial un
rest prerequisite to problem's sol
ution. Letter follows."
Parts of the editorial which Mr,
Jobelman thinks particularly good
follow:
"Roughly speaking, wages de
pend on the value of the services
to those who receive them. - An
employer of a great movie star
can make more out of Charlie
Chaplin than he can from a hod
carrier. No one has any other
Droaa, general principle to sug
gest that appears' at aU workable
But this principle is far from per
fect. The discrepancy in pay be
tween movie star and hod carrier
may be unendurable. Many hod
carriers may oin together to force
a higher wage.
"Any general increase In wages
except as it goes along with im
proved industry must, from the
very nature of the case, defeat it
self."
"There is no such "thing as
universal standard of living or
budget that can be commonly ac
cepted. There are too many mod
ifying circumstances "of age, sex
race, nationality, habits, climate'
and locality.
It is commonly assumed in
wage oispuies tnai tne worman

But, of course, in actual life there
is-no standard workman's fam

Individuals and families are ac

omists or experts in Washington
or New York decide from the read

In which every member is an earn

"There are millions of stand

lions of different wage levels
where people either do or do not

with eoch individual. Learned
professors may decide upon a cer
