Marine Workers on Strike at

LOS ANGELES. July 13. The

of the Marine Transport Workers

that there were 250 j more men

Plans Relative to Fruit and
Vegetable Packs An
J hounded By Managers
Cahnerfes in the Salem district
expect to keep the plants in oper
ation until. the, end of the season,
which will vary between Decem
ber 1 and the middle of the month
it was learned,, yesterday after
managers of these concerns had
been questioned.
Pack, of the loganberries is com
paratively light this year, due to
the fact that the berries have con
tained too much water and have
not been, of the best qualities for
either canning or drying. Can-
nerymen are praying for more
Oregon sunshine that the fruit
canned next week will be up to
former standards. Rain also had
some effect upon the cherries, the
Lamberts being practically ruined
for packing purposes.
' Raspberries are being canned at
a' majority of, the plants, with a
few' loganberries. Those being
received at present are of a su
perior quality to the earlier fruit.
Between this date and the first
of the month the packs at all can
neries will, be' light, owing to the
natural lull in the season. Be
ginning August: 1. or a few days
later, all plants will be in full op
eration, busy jwith blackberries,
prunes pears, and apples.
Good packs of both strawber
ries and gooseberries era report
ed for this year.
' While the , canneries differ
slightly as to quantities packed.
It is the consensus of opinion that
the pack is fully an average one'
this 'season, for though some
fruits have been packed In greater
quantities this year in compari
son with last year, the case was
reversed last season.
Only . one cannery in the dis
trict is packing any vegetables,
the others having this part of the
pack taken care of In , Portland or
other points ! According to J. R.
Mero, manager of the Kings Food
Products company, the pack , of
string beans this year is expected
to be twice that packed last year.
This cannery expects to continue
bperatlbris until nearly the first
of the year, though between sext
week and; the first of August, the
plant -will dose down for half
days at intervals. With the re
ceiving of blackberries and other'
fruits, the cannery will again be
operated at capacity. ;
Canneries In the Salem district
are the KlngV Food Products,

Nation Gratified That Breach
With France Did Not Fol
low Statement Made By
Premier Baldwin
DIFFERENT ATTITUDE
IS TAKEN BY FRANCE
Newspapers Sarcastic and
I Hold Remarks Up to Pub
lic Ridicule
BERLIN, July 13. (By the As
sociated Press.) Premier Bald
win's statement in the Britteh
house of commons is generally"
received with satisfaction by the
Berlin newspapers. While they
had expected that nothing in the
nature of a breach with "France
would be announced, they express
gratification that such a breach
has not occurred, as Germany's
position in such an event would
become worse. It is considered
that the critical period will be
reached when the British reply to
the German memorandum is sub
mitted to the allies.
Caution Is Shown
Extreme caution and a pro
nounced desire not to be brusque
to France or force her to show her
hand appear to have been the
motives which Inspired the Brit
ish prime minister's statement in
the house of commons yesterday,
according to the view entertained
in German official quarters,
where the statement is frankly
appraised as a sympathetic utter
ance and one destined to have an
early and perhaps decisive bear
ing on the Ruhr Impasse.
Officials Appreciative
Although Premier Baldwin
failed to make specific reference
to such Issues as termination! ot
the passive - resistance, interven
tion by the league of nations or
the American suggestion of an in
ternational commission of inquiry,
German foreign officials opinion,
as informally expressed, reflects
appreciation of : the outspoken
manner in which the British state
ment stressed the economic aspects
of the situation; as well as his
declaration that the Ruhr occupa
tion should be ended as .soon as
possible. -

".While temporarily postponing
