Bourbon Women Demand Raskob Be Thrown Out ' WASHINGTON, April 14. (API A threat of revolt aralnat the democratic party unless John J. Raskob reairna aa chairman nf ihe natlosal committee came Mon-. day from within the biennial con vention or the national women'j democratie law enforcement league. Coupled with this demand worn attacks upon Governor Roosevelt oi mew i orr, former uovernor Al Smith. Governor Ritchie of Maryland- and former Senator Reed of Missouri. Mra. Jeasa W NlehAlaon. una. Ident ot the league, characterized all four in her keynote : address as "disqualified wet - candidates seekinc the nomination for nreaf- dent on the democratie ticket." BIDED H Whether or not Salem will en ter a float In the Portland rose festival parade this year was the subject of discussion when rep resentatives of the. chamber of commerce, the woman's club the Business and Professional Wom en's elttb," Cherrians, Rotary, Lions and Klwanls met with E. G. Harlan of the Oregon state chamber of commerce and Lynn B. Sabin of the Rose Festival committee .on Monday. It was estimated that a float would cost at least $250 and suggested that it be financed by the sale, of buttons. These but tons would sell at $1 for adults and 50 cents for children and would entitle the wearer to ad mission to various festival at tractions. ' No definite action was taken and It was announced that the chamber of commerce would call a meeting of the various repre sentatives In the near future In order that a definite decision might be reached. ELECTION IS NEAR FOR SENIOR HIGH All appears quiet In the various high school clans right now, but if history repeats Itself here as elsewhere, intermittent sky rock ets will flare In the near future. For a month from today. May 14, nominations for associated stu dent body officers for 1931-32 will be made. Student body nominations us ually call for a bit of flurry at the high school, for each "party" in the school is keenly anxious to gets its members over the first hurdle preliminary .to . election. And so, from now on, the "party" leaders will be running the light bills higher while they weigh" the pros and cons of selecting their own candidates and swapping and compromising with the next door clan.

A. hall will repeat -the play at North Howell .Thursday, April 17. ' TO BE NORMAL Uncertainty of Crops and Market, Factors not ' Yet Estimable With Salem's canning season little more than a. month away from Its opening, a survey made by The Statesman this week show ed that the eight plants operating here plan to put up a 1931 pack of berries, 'frulU and vegetables about the same In size as the out put of HSO. , 1 . -. ! Two factors which will deter mine the output are as yet unde cided. The crop outlook is good but uncertain. The markets are unusually, slow to open this year and the price situation Is consid erably leas firm than a year ago. None of the cannerymen announc ed any plans of curtailment In production if - the markets will open within , the next (0 days. While the Reld-Murdoch .firm will begin operation .early In May on rhubarb, the bulk of the can ning work wil be started late in the month when nearly all the op erators will start on the straw berry crop. Loganberries, goose berries and raspberries will fol low as well as the late variety, of strawberries. A heavy cherry crop is anticipated, while later in the summer vegetables will be handled. The pear crop in the fall brings Salem its peak ' cannery operation. Some Wage Will . Be Cut, Indicated One of the operators saw yes terday he anticipated a five-cent an hour cut in wages paid but said it would not affect all em ployes as the minimum which can be paid women under the Oregon law is 27 H cents an hour. This wage and higher wages ranging from 30 to 35 cents an nour win be paid for women's work while men employed will get from 40 to 50 cents an hour, depending on the nature of their Job. A break In the eastern price paid tor barreled strawberries has caused local cannerymen no and of worrv in the last fortnight. Throughout the winter the estab lished price was 10 cents. Some Oregon firm then offered barreled strawberries at 4 cents and under contracts held by local canners. this price must be met. On the other side of the deal are con tracts between the canners ana the growers calling for payment of 7 cents per pound for hulled strawberries. 3Iay Not be Able To Fill Contract One prominent canner yester- dav said his firm Intended to go through with Its contracts with the dealers as long as the money lasted Another firm waa irana ly skeptical of Its ability to per form sarin if it had to pay 7 cents for strawberries and sell them at eight It would be impos sible for them to operate. Few major Improvements have been made In the cannery plants here during the winter. Ordinary maintenance and repairs have been attended to but little addi tional machinery has been added. The largest single improvemnt has been a new boiler added to the Reld-Murdock plant. While the first operations next month will not call for a heavy load of workers, as the season progresses thousands of girls and women will be employed. One firm estimated yesterday that It would require 800 workers when the 1931 season was in full swing. Roberts : o ROBERTS, April 14 Leonard Zlelke Is going into hog. raising on quite a scale.
