OREfiOM SATURDAY, JULY 21, 1934 BUTTER, EGGS Portland, Juuly 21 (LP) Local but ter and egg markets were steady at the week's close with no change In prices on either. The movement of butter to the San Francisco market from local distributors has been resumed, some shipments having gone south by truck. The egg market continues firm here at the week's price levels. Top quality is In best demand but un dergrades are fairly firm also. Cheese market and prices un changed from the week's range of prices. Local retail cantaloupe demand Is holding up and receipts here are moving readily to the retail stores. Prices rule evenly although an oc casional surplus tends to give an undertone to the market at times, Good country veal remained hard to get at tne end of tne week wun dealers paying top price on quality stuff. Most houses were quoting 9c. All lines of "fruit were about un changed at the close of the week. The market had ample peaches. Ap ricots continued to dwindle as the season ncars close. There was virtually no change In vegetable lines for Saturday. Toma toes held firm. Receipts appear (fair lor next week. GRAIN PRICES RULE STRONGER Chicago, July 21 Iff) Stimulated oy an official weather forecast in dicating next week would give no substantial relief from drought, grain prices ruled stronger late to doy. A good portion of new purchasing orders for wheat came from sources northwest, a circumstance deemed significant of more unpromising prospects in the spring crop belt. Highest prices of the day were reached Just before the final bell. Wheat closed firm, 1 cent to Hi above yesterday's finish, Septem ber new 1.00Mt-, corn 1-1 up, oats advanced, and provisions varying from 10 cents lower to 5 cents gain. A new upward tendency showed Itself In grain values early today. Record breaking high temperatures lor the season were reported over practically all of the corn belt and the Liverpool wheat market dis played unexpected relative firmness. Opening at - up, September new 99-9914, Chicago wheat after wards rose all around. Corn start ed unchanged to higher, and continued to mount.

SEEK TO PROHIBIT NEWSPAPER TRIALS New York, July 21 (fl1) Vigorous 'nse of "Inherent Judicial authority" to prevent trial by newspaper Is re commended by a committee of the New York County Lawyers associa tion In a tentative report prepared for the American Bar association.

CONTINUES IN SPITE STRIKES Washington, July 21 (LP) A slow upward turn from economic de pression was reported by govern ment agencies today to be contin uing despite spread of strikes and industrial unrest. Reports on the state of the na tion were received as the adminis tration's strongest conciliation force was directed at removing basic causes of difference in the Pacific coast dispute. Efforts to solve the Minneapolis trucking strike, mark ed by new outbreaks, continued. Half a dozen sets of figures were cited by .government departments showing the brighter side of the picture. The American railway associa tion reported car loadings of reve nue freight for the week ending July 14 totaled 602,778 cars, in crease of 82,071 cars above the pre ceding week, increased loadings of miscellaneous freight, grain, forest products, ore, coke, coal and live stock were listed. ' The census bureau advised 31, 002.964 cotton spindles were oper ating on June 30, compared with 25,549.074 on the same date in 1033 and 25,891.366 in May. The labor department revealed the wholesale commodity pries ! v dex rose in June to the highc c levcl since April, 1931. The figure was 1.2 above that in May. The general price level was given as 74.6 per cent of the 1926 average. Farm products showed the widest gain with a 6 per cent rise. Grain prices were up 13 per cent and in creases were marked in hogs, cot ton, fresh milk and other farm commodities. Chief reflection of the strike situation was found in a decline of 1.7 per cent In June factory em ployment from May and a 3.1 drop in payrolls. It was pointed out the i New York stocK exenange, consiaer ed by some an index of economic conditions, remained stagnant. Continuation of Water Company --From Page One the event the city does take over the plant, the company will be com pensated for Its expenditures in making such improvements. Contemplated Improvements upon which the company Is prepared to start work immediately include re construction of the supply intake on Minto's island, enlargement of the supply mains leading from the isl and to the central plant at Trade and Commercial street, completion of the partially finished modern fil tration and treating plant at the central station, enlargement of res ervoir facilities and the re-placement and enlargement of distribut ing mains. Such a program, company officials assert, would meet all of the require ments of the state board of health and satisfy the order of the publio service commissioner to provide the city with a safe and palatable water supply. Responsibility for the unpleasant taste and odor which has been no ticeable in the water supply for the past week or 10 days rests more In the procrastination and dilatory tac tics of the city council in executing the people's mandate for a munici pal water system than In negligence on the part of the water company, a review of proceedings since the Oregon-Washington company ac quired the local plant, reveals. The company purchased the prop erty at a time when, spurred on by a similar agitation for odorless and tasteless water, the city was nego tiating for the plant. Immediately the new owners took action to clear up the supply by reconstructing the Intake on the Island and building new temporary filter beds designed to serve until such thne and plans could be perfected for a modern fil ter plant. Before plans had been perfected and work started on reconstruction of the system the first charter amendment calling for city acqui sition of the plant was adopted by the people. Pending determination of legal proceedings to establish the valid ity of the charter amendment the company first offered to proceed with Its contemplated improve ments,, subject to the approval of and under supervision of the city, provided the council would guaran tee reimbursement for such ex penditures. The offer was rejected by the then mayor and council. When the original charter amendment was declared Invalid by the courts the company again pre pared to proceed with Its contem plated permanent Improvements. Extensive Improvements were made in the supply line system and work started on a modem treating and filter plant. This work was halted by the vote of the peoplo of Salem at a special election December 16, 1931, author ising a bond Issue of $3,500,000 and directing the council to acquire by purchase, or condemnation the company's plant and to construct a "mountain" supply system. Since that time the company has at least twice volunteered to com plete the much-needed Improve ments If guaranteed reimbursement for so doing, but the council has turned a deaf ear to the proposals. Lacking any assurance of protec tion against loss on additional in vestments the company since has made only such betterments as have been required to maintain the plant In safe operating condition. Worked over a tlmo or two and repaired as necessary, the tempor ary filter beds on the Island still remain 111 use to pollute the taste and ndnr of the water during each hot, dry summer season. STUNQ TO DFATH Wawnesburg, Pa., July al (fll It was a one round thriller, the fight between the goats and the bees. The goats, a pair of pels owned by Paul and Bnbbv Murray, knocked down the hive and were stung to death. OREGON GUARDSMEN CONCENTRATE Gov. Julius L. Meier ordered 1100 troops mobilized at Camp Withycombe, 10 miles from Portland, to "prevent loss of life and bloodshed" when employers announced plans to open the port which closed dur ing the coast maritime strike. The strike strategy committee declared a general strike would be called If the Oregon troopers moved Into the city. These Associated Press photos show the soldiers setting up camp. REFUND $55,000 TO RURAL USERS Approximately $55,000 In advance payments made by rural patrons of the Portland Electric Power com pany and the Molalla Electric com pany will be refunded unuer new rules promulgated by the public utilities commission. The payments ad been made to cover excess cost of rural line ex tensions. These refunds, effective August 1, will cover equities in rural lines acquired by patrons of the electric company in extensions made during the past 12 years un der what is known as the Willam ette valley rules. The new rules will also eliminate so-called service or delivery charges which were Imposed by the old rules and will establish a new minimum rate under which rural natrons will receive electric service at the same rates as do patrons In urban territory. The new policy which has the ap proval of the electric utilities af fected is said to be In tne interest of more general use of electricity by residents of rural areas Continuation of Shipowners Agree , From Page One to arbitration as far us the long shoremen are concerned," Plant said. . . "This Is. provided of course, mat the maritime unions select respons ible representatives and Bgrec to arbitrate hours, wages and working conditions. we also agree to submit inose three noints to arbitration by the president's labor disputes board. 'The question oi Hiring imno a far as the maritime unions are concerned have never been raised by the laboring groups. "We have done everything we can do and what they have asked us to do to date. Now Its up to the long shoremen and the maritime unions to vote on whether or not they will submit to arbitration." Ran Francisco. July 21 W) Com merce hummed along the waterfront here today, with union drivers op erating long lines of trucks to the piers, but at Seattle and Portland the strike situation remained tense. Returning to work unconditionally the truck drivers here provided their own escorts to prevent violence al though national guard troops pa trolled the commercial section along the einbarcadero. The union teamsters, wno oetore joining the general walkout had supported the striking longshoremen by refusing to haul goods to and from the waterfront, voted four to one to return to their jobs. A hurried meeting of the Joint maritime strike committee was call ed today. Leaders Intimated the com mittee would discuss the possibility of submitting to arbitration by Pres ident Roosevelt's labor disputes board. By 9:30 a. m., there was greater activity on the waterfront than has been seen in months, nrveryone wanted their freight first. It was a wild scramble at times. More and more trucks were pressed into service. We have 650 trucks rolling now. said J. P. Viraard, of the Dray men's association. "Everyone Is happy. There hasn't been a single complaint." Militiamen, still on guard, rest ed on their rifles, and looked on amusedly. They saw little to do. Military regulations were relaxed by sentries, after 10 days during which everyone approaching was chal lenged. The Market Street railway, whose organized employes continued on strike, reported it was extending its service today. Several of its em ployes reported to police that bricks had been tossed through the win dows of their homes but none was hurt and operation of cars was not Interfered with. Work Was resumed on the great San Francisco-Oakland bay bridge where 3,000 men are employed. Dur ing the morning Harvey Couch, of the reconstruction finance corpora tion which aided in the financing of the project, inspected the work. In Oakland 1200 teamsters return ed to work but they refused to handle what has come to be called "hot cargo" that is freight handled by non-union longshoremen or non union manned ships. However, a meeting of the union was called for tomorrow to reconsider and It was believed certain the embargo on "hot cargo" would be lifted. Industrial leaders here pledged a policy of co-operation towards or ganized labor to smooth away bit terness left in the wake of the four day mass walkout which officially ended Thursday. Shipping interests at all ports announced plans for immediate re sumption of freight and passenger service and cargoes piled high in piers from the prolonged blockade started to move despite the siege of strikers. The action of the San Fran cisco teamsters, who voted 1,138 to 283 to resume all work as admit tedly a severe blow to the embat tled longshoremen and seamen whose picket lines have been push ed back by the bayonets of nation al guardsmen. The marine and dock workers were urged by J. F. Vizznrd, presi dent of the San Francisco dray men's association, to select new leaders and submit to arbitration. Vizzard interpreted the teamsters' vote as a direct blow at Harry Bridges, militant longshoremen's leader who has held out for union control of hiring agencies and sim ultaneous settlements with all mari time unions. In Oakland and Alameda, east San Francisco bay ports, the 1,200 teamsters, while resuming work generally, continued to stand behind the maritime strikers by refusing to transport shipping freight. Aside from the maritime unions, the only workers still on strike in the San Francisco region are the American Federation of Labor street car men employed by the Market Street Railway company here. The 2,800 carmen walked out Sunday, 24 hours before the general strike, and were the only major union group presenting demands of their own.

The longshoremen's strike, cou pled with season declines in lumber demands, was charged with closing down of 63 large mills, which pro duced more than 50 percent of the fir lumber cut in the two states pri or to the strike.

Continuation of Carson Says Prom Page One activity under guard of regular po lice and sheriff's deputies was the warning that should any disorder arise, nearby national guardsmen would sweep into the city to crush disturbance. Labor leaders still talked of a general strike, and the strike "strategy" committee was In continuous session. "I hope," Mayor Carson said to day, "that everyone wiU proceed with his ordinary business. All those having freight on the various docks should proceed to get It. Should any disorder occur, it is my opinion that there will be sufficient protection furnished and that order will prevail. Hundreds of Portland concerns have had their property tied up on the docks for the past ten weeks. " rear nas prevented most of them from removing it. There Is no need to have further fear, for if any violence whatever occurs, or should any disorder take place, additional and effective pro tection mav be expected." At the Labor temple considerable hope for arbitration of the maritime strikes existed when a telegram was received from Cliff Thurston, port land representative of -the long shoremen at San Francisco. Thurs ton said, in brief, that employers had offered to arbitrate the strike of seafaring men if the longshore men would arbitrate the waterfront strike. He said ballots for the votes on the Issues might be distributed Sunday, Labor officials, who have caned a general meeting of delegates from all unions for Sunday, refused to comment due to the brevity of Thurston's telegram, and absence of other news from the San Francisco negotiations, but possibility of a general strike here was considered remote Saturday.
