Newspaper Page TextRising Labor Costs and Repair Bills Charged; Recommendation Of State Expert Is Awaited 1 Willamette valley. flax cooperatives sought cooperation of the state board of control here Wednesday in raisin? the local industry's price to the market from the 60-cjait New York quota tion of the board to around 65 cents. Four representatives of the co- operatives declared a belief the price could be increased without bolstering the threat of Peruvian producers to become serious com petitors and maintained that ris ing labor costs and repair bills necessitated their obtaining more ' for the processed product "Our prime interest is to be of assistance in retting the whole flax industry here on an established basis," Gov. Charles A. Sprarne told the petitioners. The governor expressed a be lief that production of flax fiber by the state prison flax plant had be come such a small part of the to tal in Oregon that the cooperatives were in a position virtually to set their own price. He warned that "if we get the jack screws under the price too much now, the mar ket will not feel very kindly to ward us in the future, and they are the ones we'll have to depend on for a market." The governor and the board ad vised the cooperative spokesmen to confer with L. L. Laws, the Quotations at Portland Produce Exchange do 270-300 lbs.

Industrial leaders receded frac tions to as much as 2 points, many reaching new 1941 lows. Rails, in the downward procession from the start, widened their losses in the late proceeding on the announce ment of a strike order by the op erating brotherhoods to become ef fective December 7. Hamstringing the market in the work of absorbing the expanded offerings was a general timidity on the part of buyers who did not like the looks of the far eastern picture and troubled labor situa tion. Recording one of the sharpest dips in recent months, the Assoc! a ted Press 60-stock average was down .7 of a point at 39.3, the low est level for the composite since April 2 and only .2 of a point above the 1941 low. Active turnover In various low priced shares lifted volume to 1, 017,630 shares the largest since Sept. 25, against Monday's 627,100 shares.

Wheat tumbled as much as 4 to 4 cents, coming within h of the limit permitted in one session. Soybeans fell 6 cents, the limit, corn and rye more than 3 cents and oats almost 2 cents. AH grains recovered part of the losses be fore the close but beans, in which trading was virtually at a stand still during the last half of the session, finished at the bottom. In the final hour there was enough buying attributed to east ern sources and professions and to mills to taking advantage of lower prices to rally the market Wheat closed 2-2 lower than Monday, December H.13-, May $1.19-19H.
