The loganberry grower-mem- w nf the Salem 'ruit union Ivh - must abide by the Contracts en ' tered into in 1917 for the delivery of their product to the Phez com pany. The supreme court which gome time ago found for the Phez company on an appeal from the Marlon county circuit court today denied a petition for rehearing of the case presented by the growers The contract made in 1917 and covering a period of five years provided for the delivery of logan berries to the Phez company atva BtlDulated price. When the open market price exceeded this con tract price many of the growers broke their contracts ana boiq on the open market. Some 100 grow ers and a judgment of approxl mately $300,000. are invovled in the case. Contract Binding. "The defendant Fruit Union had entered into a contract bind ing it to sell and deliver the logan berries raised by the defendant growers during the years 1917 to 1921, inclusive, and had subject ed itself to liability for damages tor damages for failure to make such deliveries," the opinion of the court points out. "The de- feudaut growers had authorized the Fruit Union to make the con tract and incur in their behalf the liabilities mentioned." The next move on the part ot the Phez company, in its action to recover its $300,000, will be the filing of supplementary complaints requiring all growers with whom it had contracts to appear and ac count for the amount ot berries grown and not delivered, counsel for the company said this after noon. Big Tonnage Involved. In nearly all ot the 100 cases, the contract called for the dellv ery of the entire crop, it was stat ed. The prices named in the con tracts ranged from 4 to 6& cents. On the open market during the years when the growers vio lated their contracts, they were offered from 9 to 13 cents.

'er i ler- TARIFF RATES HIGHER UNDER REVISED BILL New Classifications Are Used In Wool Schedule Of Measure Reported To Senate. Washnigton, April. 11. (By Associated Pvess.) The adminis tration tariff bill as re-written by senate finance committee repub licans on the basis for foreign val uation with provisions for flexible rates and proclaimed American valuation as recommended by President Harding, was presented today to the senate. It was an nounced that it would be taken up April 21. A long fight is in pros pect, with some estimates that it might continue for three months. Taken as a whole the bill, ac cording to estimates of committee experts, averages slightly higher than the Payne-Aldrlch law, the last republican protective tariff act. As compared with the house measure, the specific rates gen erally are higher, but the ad val roem rates generally are lower,' as such rates in the house bill were based on American valuation. Treasury experts have estimated roughly that the bill will raise from $300,000,000 to $360,000 woo of revenue annually. The Underwood law yielded between $200,000,000 and $300,000,000. Washington, April 11 (By As- sociaiea tress. ) Herewith are given the important rates in the tariff bill, reported today to the senate by the finance committee, with comparisons with the Ford ney bill and the Payne-Aldrlch the protective tariff act and Underwood laws wherever feas ible. The adyalorem rates in the Fordney measure are based on American valuation, but they are used in the comparisons. The report attached to the com- mlsison said 2i per cent, Ameri can valuation, is generally equiva lent to 60 per cent foreign valua tion. Because entirely different clas sificatlons have been used drawing the wool schedules in the new bill, no comparison of the rates in that schedule with those in the famous schedule K ot the Payne-Aldrlch bill is undertaken The raw wool rates in the senate measure are about equal to those in the Payne-Aiarich law, how ever, and Senator Smoot of Utah who drafted the new schedule, says some of the other rates are as high as corresponding provis ions in schedule K. while others are lower.
