INJUNCTION IS ASKED AGAINST HOP-PICKING LAW
I
NEW HOP LAW
FILED AI DALLAS
Pallafl, Aug. 8 A milt aimed to
nullify the 1925 law which rcqulrci
that all hops filial! bo picked by
weight rather than by tho box aB
has been customary in this district
in the pant wu filed In circuit
court Frlriiiy afternoon by Carson
and Carson of Kalem In behalf of
C. A. McLaughlin, prominent In
dependent bop grower.
Tho milt is against J. N. Helger
aon, district attorney, and T. H.
Hooker, sheriff, and seeks to res
train them from inforccmcnt of the
new law.
It recites that much extra cost,
and confusion will result from sub
stituting tin- weight measure for
the dry measure heretofore used,
that the pickers will be unable to
make the same scale of wages and
that the quality of tho product will
be damaged.
The suit la a test suit and it is
backed by prominent I'olk and
Marion county growers who do not
favor the new measure.
The complaint recites that the
new law would in effect demoral
ize the picking this season with in
Jury to botli growers and pickers.

berries for barreling purposes, hav
ing located in the Salem Fruit
union building for that purpose af
ter being most of the season in the
Northwest Km It Products com
pany's plant. Remodelling at. that
plant caused the switch over
tho fruit union building where it
is expected blackberries will con

ISvergroens are Just coming on.
a lew oi inei naving oeen recelv
ed. Himalayas and Lawtons also
are coming in.
The evergreen crop Is expected
to bo spotted, practically all of the
crop coming from new canes in lo
calities where the bushes were not
well protected from the frost. Back
in the timber where there has been
good protection. It Is stated the
bushes arc bearing heavily. It is
difficult to say Just at present how
much of a crop there will be nnd
how much of It will be picked.
Uaker, Kelly & McLaughlin nev
er handled blackberries of any kind
to any very great extent here be
fore and their barreling season
here this year will be the longest
since they have operated in this
district, lasting from the first of
the strawberries to the last of the
blackberries.
NORWEGIAN BOOKS ARE SOLD
Berlin The Norwegian univer
sity library at Oslo has presented
the Prussian etate library with
570 volumes of modern Norwe
gian literature. The collection in
cludes all publications issued in
Norway during and after the war.
In a letter accompanying the gift
the hope was cxprcwed that the
collection might prove a profit
able asset to German science and
that It might servo to cement the
intellectual relatio. 3 between
Norway and Germany.
Charles Anderson, foreman for
Young & Wells, fruit buyers, stated
today that the company is now
making all preparations for their
lpple deal here In tho fall having
already picked up quite a tonnage
tor shipment throughout the valley.
He states that It iias not been
definitely determined whether a
green fruit shipping deal will be
put over here this year, and he
will not know until L. W. Wells
returns the middle of next week,
but the chancer are that the con
cern may not be in the game after
prunes here for the same reason
that Denney & Co., pulled out, the
short crop in this immediate sec
tlon and the big bole already made
in it through heavy buying by can
ners.
Anderson states that the apple
crop in the Immediate Salem vi-
cinity will not be very heavy or
very good this year, that crops are
spotted and In many Instances are
heavily nit by scan.
The firm Is getting ready to
start handling a pear deal soon
at Vancouver, having picked up
a pretty good block of pears for
shipment, Anderson reports.

Seattle, "Wash., Aug. 8 A. Archi
bald Bullock, head of tho depart
ment of education of the Central
China teachers' college for the Inst
20 years who is visiting tho United
States on a vacation, declared here
yesterday that "Chinese difficul
ties have be -n variously attributed
to instability of government, to
economic straits, and to dollars and
cents."
"Primarily," he said, "it Is an
awakening of national conscious
ness.
"As to the foreign element, un
less some conciliatory gesture is
mado soon, the Chinese student
body together with Chinese labor
era and merchants have it within
their power to bankrupt foreign
firms in a nation wide economic
boycott.
"The danger of foreigners is
commercial rather than physical.
Physically I feci safer In China
than here. There is less danger of
deliberate injury by violence or ao
cldent."
Bullock declared the Chinese sit
nation was hugely exaggerated.
Military maneuvers ne compared
to the "barking of a pack of dogs."
Ho departed for Portland, yesterday
from whore h i Is to Journey to hie
home In Lof Angeles.
