Tricks of Fish
Trade Exposed
"Gloucester, Mass., Jan. 3.
Tricks of the trade in fish were
described by Mayor Percy W.
Wheeler in his inaugural ad
dress yesterday.
"I have seen a large pollock
split down the back, salted, and
dyed pink and sold as ocean
salmon," said the mayor. "I
have seen kits of mackerel, each
with a bottle of whisky in the
center, shipped to Maine. You
can't build up the city on a
platform of smuggled booze and
rotten fish."
Employes of
Get Wage Cut
All Salem employes of the
Charles K. 'Spaulding Logging
company, with the exception of
those receiving the minimum
wage of $3 per day, were affected
by a ten per cent reduction in
wages which became effective
January 1, according to an an
nouncement made this afternoon
by Oliver G. Myers, local mana
ger of the company.
. The ten per cent reduction af
fects officials, heads of depart
ments and other high priced em
ployes, It was stated. Salaries paid
to the local employes range from
$3 to $9 per day,
Commenting on a walk out of
100 men which took rface at the
company's mill at Newberg yes
terday, Mr. Myers voiced the
opinion that the men failed to un
derstand that the $3 minimum
wage, was not affected by the new
wage scale. An early settlement
of the Newberg difficulties is an
ticipated, he said.
The reduction, as announced,
did not apply to common labor in
the logging camps, it was stated.
Several hundred men are on
the-payrolls of the Spaulding com
pany in mills, logging camps and
lumber yards in Salem, Newberg,
McMinnville, Black Rock, Grand
Ronde, Independence and Wood-
burn and only a small percentage
of the men were asked to accept
the reduction in pay.
Fair Project
Not Yet Dead
Says Senator
That Oreeon will have a 1925
fair in spite of the defeat of legis
lation nf the casoline tax, was the
assurance given members of the
Kiwanis club by State senator
r Ai. T.nchmund at the regular
luncheon of the organization in
the Marion hotel this noon.
"i nm informed that certain In
terests inPortland are willing to
put up $1,000,000 to carry the fair
through," said Mr. Lachmund,
"and I do not see why a bond issue
could not be sold successfully up
and down the Pacific coast, In
Washington and California, which
will gain direct benefits from the
fair.
"I realize that there is no bet
ter means of drawing the people
to the state than a fair of this kind
and and I was ready to support it
t a direct nrooerty tax, but
when I realized the deplorable con
ditions of the peopel in eastern
nroB-mi where the delinquent tax
dolls of the counties reach as high
as $100,000, I was unwilling to
.dd more to their burden."
kins of the proposed in
come tax, Mr. Lachmund said that
tho Portland delegation was
strongly opposed to it because it
would fall largely upon merchants
nf that. citv. The proposed gaso
line tax, whiclj added one cent to
the present tax, masing it toiai
hru fonts onn then taking 60 per
cent of funds resulting from the
two cent tax and all of the one
cent tax would be setting a dan
gerous precedent, he said.
"The funds created Dy tne gaso
Uno tax were raised for a specific
purpose, and . appropriating road
funds for the fair wouia oe setting
dangerous precedent and matt
ing the road appropriation the
goat of all funds," stated the sena
tor.
"Portland is under the impres
sion that the rest of the state can't
without her," the speaker saw
conclusion. "That ig a foolish
argument. What would Portland
