BUTTER MARKET
STILL UNSTEADY
PACIFIC SLOPE
Portland, Ore., Sept. 19 (LP) Egg
strength was shown here today in
fresh offerings, with fresh egg re
ceipts offerings tapering off.
Butter trade conditions arc not
steady here or along the coast gen
erally. The make is not only hold
lng up better than reasonable or
unexpected, but a further surplus is
created by desire to unload cooler
stuff.
Market for live chickens is Just
about holding its own although
there is more steadiness in heavy
and medium weights than in lights.
The latter continue in a surplus
movement.
With demand more than normal,
turkeys are not arriving in supply
sufficient to take care of imme
diate needs of the trade. Prices are
frimly held for live and dressed
stuff.
More peaches of the late var
ieties are being moved to market
inan expected and consuming ae
Hand is somewhat less than anti
cipated. Prices are easier in all
positions.
Local potatoes arc moving much
better.
Cantaloupes from Dlllard of the
quality grade are in keener demand.
The best Dillard stock has been
moved to $1.10 crate. Others are
selling 65c up.
Home grown brussels sprouts ore
binding a good call at $1.15-1.25 box.
Onion trading Is Just about
steady with 35-5uc the general top.
Quality corn is considered a
trifle firmer and in spots higher.
Wine grapes are mostly around
75c luir on the track.
Both salmon and halibut prices
are firmer with a nominal supply
ef fresh stock of the latter.
TO PRUNE CROP
Portland. Sent. 15 (P) The Jour
nal said today that a survey of the
prune crop in Oregon discloses that
the crop has been saved irom severe
Joss by general improvement in wea
ther conditions during the past few
days. "Damage already inflicted to
the crop, the survey said, nos been
much less than had been expected.
General Ideas for the crop continue
around 18,000 tons for Oregon and
Clark county, Wash.
"Perhaps one of the best features
of the survey," the article said, "is
(he disclosure that damage by scab
feas been greatly over-estimated.
Whether this has been due to the
early fears of growers of whether
the former warm weather eradicated
most of the supposed loss, Is not
known. The crop as a whole is much
cleaner than formerly believed."
Practically no business was con
firmed in the Pacific northwest
during the past week, but inquiries
are being received from Europe,
Chiefly from England and the Scan
dinavian countries. The trade be
lieves some early sales to thu latter
will materialize quickly with firm
offerings from this side. Meanwhile,
former nominal opening prices are
still quoted. -
20 CENTS AN HOUR
FOR FRUIT SORTERS
Hood River, Ore., Sept. 9 (fP)
A basic wage scale of 20 cents an
hour for fruit sorters has been es
tablished for the Mid-Columbia
district of Oregon and Washing
ton by a vote of the Hood River
Traffic association and its affilia
tions in all districts, it was announ
ced today.
Definite action has been post
poned for two weeks, however,
pending decisions from the Oregon
and Washington state welfare as
sociations which were asked for
modifications of their previous rul
ings applying a 27 t -cent hour
minimum for at least 35 per cent
of the women workers In fruit ware
houses. Growers have declared they are
unable to meet the higher wage
request because of lack of assur
ance of more profitable returns.

PLAN TO EXPORT
SURPLUS WHEAT
SENT WALLACE
Portland, Sept. 19 iP) Wheat in
terests of the Pacific northwest have
agreed to form a corporation
through which 40.000,000 bushels of
surplus wheat may be exported.
This information was conveyed to
Henry A. Wallace, secretary of agri
culture, In a letter airmailed from
Portland last night. The letter was
drawn at a conference of growers,
millers and exporters. Who met
with federal representatives - Mon
day. It was signed by representa
tives of the Farmers' National Grain
corporation, the North Pacific
Grain Growers, Inc., the North Pa
cific Millers' association, and the
North Pacific Exporters' association.
The agreement must be approved
by Secretary Wallace before It be
comes effective. The plan was
agreed upon by the related groups
late Saturday night, when It was
decided to establish the North Pa
cific Emergency Exports association
to handle the movement of the sur
plus. Under this plan the government
will meet the differential between
foreign and domestic prices.
It was indicated that monev with
which to get the corporation under
way may be raised through a mem
bership fte of $50, with an addi
tional assessment, if necessary, of
$100 against each member. The
charge would be repaid when the
export of wheat is under way. The
$50 fee would apply only to groups,
such as of exporters, millers and
grain growers. Individuals would
pay only 410 to loin. It was be
lieved there would be but few indi
vidual memberships, as virtually all
deals would be conducted through
agents who Held the $50 member
ships.
The corporation will operate n-
der the guidance of a board of di
rectors, composed of two represen
tatives from each of the four groups
which signed, and a representative
oi tne secretary of agriculture. Each
group would have one vote.
Many applications have been re
ceived for the position of managing
agent, w oe appointed under terms
of the agreement.
WHEAT PRICES
SHOW ADVANCE
Chicago, Sept. 19 (IP) Wheat ad
vanced briskly late today, much
more than overcominK the effects
of sinking spells met with earlier.
Eastern buying support which de
veloped on wheat price setbacks was
associated with persistent efforts
looking toward currency inflation.
Notice was also taken of Argentine
crop damage advices and of Injury
to Canadian wheat by continued
rains over the prairie provinces, as
wen as reports or rapid progress of
signing of United States wheat
acreage reduction contracts.
Wheat closed firm at virtually
the day's top point 1 7-8 to 2 1-4
cents above yesterday's finish, corn
1-2 to 7-8 up, oats 1-8 advanced,
and provisions unchanged to 5 cents
decline.
Wheat prices averaged hicher
early today after an Irregular start.
Inflation possibilities continued to
exert a bullish influence, and indi
cations pointed to unfavorable
off to 5-8 up, wheat afterwards held
weather northwest. Opening at 1-8
near the initial limits. Corn started
1-4 to 3-4 lower, and subsequently
altered Httlc.
Continuation of
San Martin Quits
From Page One
cipal leaders of the opposition to
the present government.
The insurgent Captain, who got
his nickname because of the simil
arity of his antl-Machado campaign
to that waged for years by General
Augustino Sandlno In Nicaragua,
left for the interior yesterday and
immediately took up arms.
mere were muttenngs in oppo
sitionists' camps of revolution as
President Grau San Martin persis
ted in his rciusal to accede to de
mands of five powerful political
groups that ho make way for a
"national" government.
"I will quit" he countered, "when
anybody who has a right to ask me
to resign does so."
He made the statement at the
conclusion of a meeting with a com
mittee of Rotarlans who, as media
tors, gave him separate memoranda
from the OCRR and ABO political
societies, Col. Carlos Mendleta's
nationalists, Former President Men
ocal's group, and the Marianistas
of Mlqucl Mariano Gomez.
"It doesn't matter who Is presi
dent," Dr. Grau San Martin as
serted, "so long as the revolution
ary program is carried out."
A leader of the student pro-government
faction interrupted him to
say that "Grau San Martin can not
resign unless we (the student dir
ectorate who put him In the presi
dency ask him to,"
The executive refused this time
to treat directly with the opposi
tionists, but their demands were
presented by the mediators. The;
five organizations with whom he
has repeatedly conferred, met with
out the president and draw up their
demands, each of which was under
stood to contain a demand for his
resignation and the appointment of
a coalition cabinet. Several oppon
ents said his refusal might result In
another revolution.
The government, meanwhile, pro

FOR RUSSIA TO
London, Sept. 19 LP) The world
wheat commission arranged today
lor a conference with Russian rep
resentatives, probably Friday, to fix
a wheat report quota for Russia
and avoid the threat of dumping
oi soviet wneat on tne world
market.
The fear of Russian dumping un
less an agreement was reached has
overshadowed all the deliveratlons
of wheat men who worked out a
world plan during and after the
World Economic conference.
Russia originally demanded that
she be permitted to export 90,000.-
000 bushels. Quotas for the present
crop year of the other big exporting
nations, already fixed, are Canada
200,000,000 bushels; United States,
47,000,000; Argentina, 110,000,000
and Australia 105,000,000.
The conference secretary was in
structed to prepare a questionnaire.
to be submitted to 22 nations, sig
natories of the world agreement, to
ascertain the extent to which the
plan is being observed.
The delegates today fixed the
proportions of the Danubian export
quota of 50,000,000 bushels to be
alloted the individual nations. The
allotment was Hungary 39.1 per
cent, Roumania 23.9, Jugoslavia 22.1
and Bulgaria 14.9.
United States Ambassador Rob
ert W. Bingham presided at the
conference as chairman.
TRANSIENT GAMPS
TO RELIEVE JOBLESS
Wenatchee, Wash., Sept. 19 (LP
Borrowing an idea from President
Roosevelt's C. C. C, State Relief
Director Charles F. Ernst, address
ing a group of social workers in
convention here, said it was very
likely that camps for transients
would have to be established this
winter in Washington.
These camps, or transient service
camps, to be located in strategic
positions over the state, would
care for men and women now
riding freight trains and hitch
hiking along the highways.
A plan will be developed. Ernst
predicted, in conjunction with the
federal government and work pro
jects will be outlined.
Establishment of the camps will
do away with problems now faced
bv . local relief agencies in caring
for a constant stream of hungry
jobless, Ernst believes.
Tentative sites, although not def
initely determined, include Spokane.
Wenatchee, Seattle and Pasco.
CHANGES IN RURAL
ROUTES ORDERED
Due to the policy of the postal
department to make consolidations
in rural routes wherever possible, 7
miles formerly served from the In
dependence office will be added to
one of the routes leading out of
Salem, November 1, according to
information received at the local
postofftce. This route Is operated
by Lyman McDonald and with the
extension will total 51 miles. The
territory to be added to the Salem
route is located In the flat along
the east bank of the Willamette
river south of Orville.
With the change, three routes
leading out of Independence will
be consolidated to two. One of these
will be extremely heavy since !t is
some 75 miles in length and serves
the various hopyards up and down
the river. Several short extensions
to Salem routes have been recom
mended by the local office but it is
doubtful whether they will be al
lowed due to the economy policy
of the department.
SINK WITHOUT TRACE
NOTE AUTHOR BACK
Buenos Aires, Sept. 19 OP) Count
Karl Luxburg, author of the historic
letter advising the German govern
ment to sink "without trace" Ar
gentine merchantmen bound for Eu
rope, was back in Buenos Aires to
day as a friendly visitor.
Luxburg, then the German min
ister, wrote his government in 1917
advising that if the ships must be
sunk It would be better to sink them
and leave no trace that might be a
basis for protest. He also took oc
casion to call Honorlo Puerrydon.
Argentine foreign minister, a "no
torious ass."
American secret intelligence offic
ers Intercepted and decoded the let
ter. The result was that Luxburg
was handed his passport, though
Argentina remained a neutral In
the war.
Luxburg was besieged today with
requests for Interviews recalling his
wax time experiences,
RETAIL TRADE
CONTROL CODE
BIG PROBLEM
Washington, Sept. 19 tfP) Retail
price control today supplanted soft
coal as NBA s big problem.
Hugh S. Johnson was in the midst
of this job, pressing for completion
of a master charter to embrace all
retail trades, with their hundreds of
thousands of stores and millions of
employes, within a single fair com
petition code. Outstanding among
its Issues was a proposal to stab
ilize retail prices at 10 percent above
wholesale costs.
President Roosevelt's promulgation
of the long-disputed bituminous coal
code ' freed Johnson for intensive
work on the retail agreement and
for planning the "buy now" cam
paign through which the adminis
tration hopes soon to increase con
sumption.
Mr. Roosevelt's pen last night
made the coal code effective Octob
er 2, but before he signed, the chief
executive made certain alterations
which Included elimination of a pro
vision organized labor charged sought
to interpret its collective bargaining
guarantee under the recovery law.
"Because it is evident," Mr. Roose
velt said, "that attempts by those
submitting codes to interpret section
7 (A) of the national industrial re
covery act have led to confusion
and misunderstanding, such inter
pretations should net be incorporate
ed in codes of fair competition.
"Therefore, paragraph (B) of ar
ticle live must be eliminated with
out, by this exclusion, indicating
disapproval in any way of the joint
statement of the administrator and
general counsel of the national re
covery administration, which has
been attached to the code as sched
ule "B" and was Incorporated by re.
ference in said paragraph (B) of
article five."
Johnson termed the coal code "the
greatest accomplishment" of his ad
ministration. William Green, presi
dent of the American Federation of
Labor, and John L. Lewis, president
of the United Mine Workers, both of
whom had opposed the labor lang
uage stricken out by Mr. Roosevelt,
promised every possible cooperation
to make the code a success.
The president inserted in the coal
agreement a provision requiring the
submission of all statistical data re
quired by any government agency.
He added language to permit him to
name three additional members to
the bituminous coal board originally
planned to number 14, five of whom
would have been presidential selec
tions. -
The price control provision was
responsible for much of the great
importance attached by Johnson to
the retail trade code. What the ad
ministrator recommends to Mr. Roo
sevelt on this point and what the
president approves was expected to
provide an exoosition of the admin
istration's policy on price-fixing.
'me coal code section eliminated
by the president said in part:
"The plain meaning of section 7A
can not be changed by any interpre
tation by anyone. It is the function
of the administrator and the courts
to apply and Interpret the law in Its
administration. . .
"The words 'open shop' and 'closed
shop' are not used in the law and
can not- be written Into the law.
These words have no agreed mean
ing and will be erased from the dic
tionary of the NRA.
"The law requires In codes and
agreements that 'employes shall
have the right to organize and bar
gain collectively through represen
tatives of their own choosing.'
"This can mean only one thing,
which Is that employes can choose
anyone -they desire to represent
them, or they can choose to repre
sent themselves. Employers likewise
can make collective bargains with
organized employes or individual
agreements with those who choose
to act Individually. . .
"The law docs not prohibit the ex
istence of a local labor organization
which may be called a company un
ion. . . But it docs prohibit any em
ployer from requiring, as a condi
tion to employment, that any em
ploye join a company union."

must adopt for herself a sound phi
losophy of education and gain mas
tery of a few fundamental principles
of procedure to serve as her con
stant guides" in order to do success
ful work.
Suggested dally work programs,
objectives of education, care of text
books and school equipment, organ
ization of rural teachers' study clubs,
standards for rural schools and val
ue of participation In 4-H club work
are stressed in the manual which is
intended for the guidance of teach
ers in one, two, and three teacher
rural schools.
