growers, millers, exporters and

The plan, that calls ' for form

"We are satisfied that the code
can be worked out and we will do
our part to assure its working, of

time we have any complaint to
make, regarding the fairness of
the code, it will be done in the
manner prescribed for such action
by the code sections."
Reports were received in Sa

several hundred pickers who re
fused to work for the existing
rate of $1 a hundred pounds.
The management at 5 p. m.
Saturday agreed t- pay a 50 cents
a hundred pounds bonus to all
pickers who finished the picking
season. ,
Strikers also demanded that the
hopyard owners pay 35 cents an
hour for common labor but this
demand was not acceded to. The
present scale of payment is 25
cents an hour.
Arrest of Ray Germer, leader
in the strike, on tho charge of
trespass was accomplished Satur

28 Upstate Counties Heard
In Protest; Sawyer is
Head of Delegation
By CLAYTON V. BERNHARD
PORTLAND, Sept. 16 (AP)
Although indicating there would
be no reallocation of federal funds
for road work, the Oregon state
highway commission today with
held its verdict until early next
week on the demand of Portland
and Multnomah county for addi
tional project money , for relief
work. Carle Washburne, Eugene
member of the commission, was
absent at the meeting and a con
ference will be held on-the . issue
when he returns from a vacation
trip. .
, Twenty-eight upstate counties
and a halt dozen highway associa
tions, represented by more than a
hundred men, appeared before the
commission in protest to Portland
and Multnomah county's demand
for more money. The Portland
delegation demanded 60 per cent
of the money set aside -for work
within cities and the funds tor
feeder roads. '
. This demand would result in re
allocation of more than $1,000,
000 of federal money to be taken
from other projects, it was stated
by Leslie M. Scott, chairman of
the commission. The Portland de
mand stipulates just $1,800,000
of the $6,100,000 federal money,
he said, which originally was
based upon area and post road
miles, rather - than population.
Portland now has been allocated
more than $600,000 on this basis,
he 8 aid.
The decision of the commission.
understood in view of previous
statements by Chairman Scott and
the attitude today while hearing
arguments on the matter for about
two hours, would be against the
Portland group.
Confronted by reports of pro
tests from upstate counties and
the statement of Chairman Scott
Issued from Salem Friday against
any reallocation of funds, the
Portland group, Instead of de
manding 85 per cent of the fed
eral highway funds, as was at first
reported, brought their request
down to 60 per cent of the 50 per
cent which "must and might" be
allocated to work within cities.
The federal act provides that 25
per cent be spent In cities, 25 per
cent for secondary highways and
50 per cent tor primary roads.

sideration of the special legisla
tive assembly tentatively sched
uled to convene here some time

Sponsors of the proposal de
clare that the federal government
had made ample provision for re
financing many of the larger in
dustries of the country but that
no plan had been offered which
would relieve the counties and mu
nicipalities from their existing
financial burdens.
The argument was advanced
that under existing conditions the
counties and municipalities are
faced with one of two alterna
tives. The first is to allow their
debts to accumulate with no pros
pect of payment while the other
is to take advantage of the law en
acted by tho 1933 legislature au
thorixlng municipal corporations
of the state to go Into the hands
of a receiver for liquidation.
- Officials declared that the lat
ter course was unsatisfactory for
the reason that it would destroy
the credit, of a municipality and
make it virtually impossible to
sell bonds or other securities. -'
