This wiH saean -that more than 2,000 who will be employed dur ing Che large pear pack will re- 7 Vk cents more per hour prevailed last season. packing will be under war In 9 the canneries here Jnst af ter Xbor Day. . The first work a this fruit was done yesterday at Held Murdoch and company plant, bat It will be next Wed nesday before this cannery is op erating on any scale at all. Hunt - Brothers will . start operations about September 1. and at the peak will haVe 400 or 500 women employed. Reid Murdoch will employ around 350 women. Canning of pears at the Paulus Bros, plant will get under way in another week, and it is probable this cannery, will run. two shifts, utilizing , aboat 800 employes at the peak. Hunt and Paulua will pat up very large packs, and all other canneries are expecting to make a good pack. Producers' co-op, which han dles only the pears of its owq members, will probably make its longest run this year on pears. First ones will -come in the first of next week. Local pears are of exceptionally fine quality and the erop la good. Other canners here . handle largely Yakima' and-Wen- " atchea and southern Oregon ; pears. - -. Oregon Packing- company, . which . witnessed scant' activity during the early fruit season, will put up a sizeable pear pack, Supt Percy , Blondell said yesterday. Pumpkins and prunes will also be handled this fall, making full - ran for this plant. Oregon Pack ing and Producers have agreed to eomply. 100 per cent with the .KRA. code. . -' Cleary and Hillmaa In West Salem have been working steadily en , beans for the West Stay ton association and will later handle a large 1 tomato pack. Rumors ' that bean picking in the Irrigated West , Staytoa area would shut down at the end of this week were refuted by Manager HUlman of the local plant yesterday. He tated wage difficulties had been Ironed out, and now all growers ever there are paying the 85 cents per hundred which the as sociation members hare paid from the start. Before a wide range Irom 5 cents downward was paid pickers. On the 30-cent wage which the KRA canner's code set, Reid Mur doch here . announced early this month that they would meet the code demands, retroactive to Au gust 1. Hunt Brothers also are making the 30-cent wage retroac tive to August 1, and paying the rate to both men and women. Whether the 30rcent rate will be retroactive for other canneries has not been announced. Under provision of the canner's code, canneries must see that 35 per cent of the workers earn 30 cents an hour, and piece work rates may be used for a portion of the workers. So far as can be learned here. SI 5 has been the top price paid lor all the pears shipped in from oth Washington " and southern Oregoa districts. Pears are ship ped - In green and held on the tracks until ripened to salt the canners needs. I TO CONFER TODAY If embers of . the Oregon state highway commission and L. V.

BUDGET HOLDS IIP CHEIUIil BOOST The scrap to secure. the extra appropriation for Chemawa In dian school is not over with yet,' the latest snag being the budget director, who thus far has with held approval of the additional 150,000 which the commissioner of Indian affairs has endorsed. Congressman Mott has been work ing to "sew up" the agreement, and yesterday received from Com missioner Collier the following message: "The hudeet on An trust seventh rejected our proposal for enlarged Chemawa enrollment. Secretary Ickes has gone back to the presi dent but no final action, yet. nave authorized continuance for pres ent 300 enrollment basis." It would appear that the com missioner expects later approval as be states he is authorising continuance of the school wUh an enrollment of 300. At first the order was to dis continue the school completely. Then through the personal appeal of Senator McNary and the efforts of Congressman Mott the presi dent directed that the school be continued on a reduced basis. La ter a plan was. worked oat to make the school a -vocational school with provision for 300 stu dents; and an extra $50,000 was requested. It Is this amount which the budget director is hes itating over. On receipt of Commissioner Collier's wire yesterday Congress man- Mott's office here appealed directly to President Roosevelt to obtain the necessary order for the amount required. TO No county commissaries will be maintained by relief, commit tees throughout the state daring the coming winter, the Marion county committee was -informed yesterday when' members of the state central committee conferred with the local committee at noon. Abolition of the commissaries is necessitated under a national policy of purchasing relief sup plies only from NRA linns ana from the government's desire to help business through regular channels. The only exception per mitted will be for Red Cross sup plies, consisting of flour and cot ton goods. Recipients of relief will be tarnished, in Ilea of a commis sary ordr, an order on a mer chant operating under the NRA code. t . At the conference yesterday. the outlook for relief In the county this winter was discussed.

Districts are operating under an old law which has been Inoperative as long as the non-high school ter ritory as a unit was taxed for transportation. . Following the election of a board of education for non-high school districts in Marion connty on a non-transportation platform, taxation by the several affected areas has been discussed and in many instances. has been or is to be, voted upon. Districts 93 and 127 joined the transportation movement yester day by calling for bids on trans portation of their high school pu pils to Silverton. The-Salem high school office reports that an increased number of rural pupils are seeking jobs in Salem this winter which will provide at least board and room.

F The annual report ot the coun ty ' superintendent's office on all schools operating in the. county in 1932-1933 is expected Saturday. Three auditors, engaged steadily for the last 60 days checking Indi vidual, district's reports, complet ed their work this week and an nounced yesterday that no sub stantial errors were found in the work of the district clerks. Con siderable confusion in making re ports existed because clerks did not understand how to report funds In restricted banks. The county superintendent's office yesterday indicated the general report would show the bulk ot the school districts In the county In good shape, save tor the item of warrant Indebted ness. The great majority of school districts have no bonded debt. If delinquent taxes were paid, almost all districts would re tire warrant debt .and have sub stantial cash balances. Auditors who checked the re ports of each district were J. H. Roland, Norman B. Purbrlck, Frank H. Struble. Where a school district was situated In two coun ties, the audit was made by the county in which the district's schoolhouse was located. E. H.
