German -Spanish developments as
an unsettling factor.
Pittsburgh steel operations were
scheduled to start next week at 81
per cent of capacity, up a point. In
the Youngstown area, however,
there was Indication of a curtail

MILK CONTROL ACT
CHANGE FAVORED
Eugene, Jan. 3 (Pi Ralph Laird.
Lane county representative and
, dairyman, will support amend
ment to the mUk control act when
the legislature meeta January 11 but
oppose any effort to eliminate It
entirely, he said today,
1 think the milk control theory
h a good one. If any attempt la
made to kill It entirely, I'd say leave
the law alone."
Laird said there was too great a
price spread between the returns
to the producers and the retail
oast. He will study the basis for
prices after the milk leaves the
dairy farm,
"Labor has the right to demand
but the disputes should be settled
without long strikes," he said.
Lane county's single democratic
representative, Dr. Orvllle Waller,
will work for legislation In the In
Icresta of the University of Oregon.

WOOL GROWER
HEAD SPEAKER
TO DAIRYMEN
The cooperative marketing of dairy
products leads the field In the vol
ume of business bandlM by farm
cooperative, Manager R. A. Ward
of the Pacific Wool drover told
the members attending tne annual
patrons' meeting of the Mt. Angel
Cooperative Creamery at Mt. Angel
on December 31, 1936. In 1636 10,700
fanners' cooperative associations in
the United States did b business of
$1.5JO,000.000 and of this the dairy
business handled products worth
1440,000.000, or 29 percent of the
total dollar volume of cooperative
busiiidfts in this country.
As a director of the National Co
operative Council and president of
the Oregon Cooperative Council, Mr.
WaM talked on national trends in
cooperative marketing and national
trends that affect the dairy business
as a whole.
"The cooperative marketing of
dairy products dates back to as ear
ly as 1810. when we find cheese be
ing made and marketed cooperative
ly at Foshen, Conn, and South Tren
ton, New York," said Mr. Ward. "It
seems that farmer cooperative en
terprises which have been concerned
with the handling of dairy products
were the first to develop a satis
factory operating technique."
Mr. Ward warned the dairymen of
the alarming situation which is de
veloping in the Importation of for
eign dairy products into this coun
try. For the first eight months of the
year these imports totalled slightly
over $6,000,000, he said. This Is sur
prising in view of the fact that the
foreign price of butter, plus the tar
iff. Is higher than the domestic price,
and It is obvious, therefore, that
some kind of a bounty or subsidy
operation is being used by the coiuv
tries which are sending In the for
eign butter, in Mr. Ward's opinion.
During the first 8 months of the
year Imports of dry skim milk into
the United-States totalled 15,500,000
pounds as against only 4000 pounds
for the same period of 1935.
In an attempt to meet this situa
tion, the National Cooperative MUk
Federation recently took formal ac
tion by requesting the secretary of
the treasury to Impose the counter
vailing or the anti-dumping duty on
Imports of butter which It is felt
are coming Into the United 8tates
under the conditions against which
the tariff act of 1930 sought to pro
tect domestic producers.
Mr. Ward also called attention to
the fact that another matter of great
importance to the dairy Industry
and to agriculture at large is the
injury that Industry may suffer as a
result of the new trade agreements
act and the negotiation of the so-
called reciprocal trade agreements
with foreign countries. "I believe it
is the opinion of the American farm
ers that domestic markets should
be kept for American agriculture,"
said Mr. Ward.
Import duties lowered under these
agreements principally affect im
ports of cheese. In the first 8 months
of this year the United States im
ported from Canada 8,233.000 pounds
of cheese, compared with 600,000
pounds for the same period of 193S.
This Is an Increase of 1345 percent.
Cheese stocks In the United States
in October were about 8.000,000
pounds In excess of the five-year
average.
Problems confronting agriculture
cannot be met by one irroup of farm
ers or by one cooperative associa
tion, Mr. Ward commented, but It
will take the united efforts of all
producers in working through their
local, regional and national cooper
ative associations.
521 DIE OF FLU
DURING DECEMBER
Chicago, Jan. 3 OP) Dr. Herman
V. Bundesen, Chicago health com
missioner, reported today that 521
persons died of Influenza and pneu
monia In Chicago last month. In De
cember, 1935, the same diseases took

LUMBER MART
SERIOUSLY HURT
Seattle, Jan. a (U.R Drastic losses
in both production and shipment of
lumber due to the maritime strike,
were revealed today for the eighth
consecutive week for 202 down and
operating mills in Washington and
Oregon, according to the West
Coast Lumbermen's association.
These mills produced 61,126,347
board feet of lumber hi the week
ending December 26, a reduction of
27,199,665 feet from the previous
week, due largely to the holidays.
Thirty-two mills were reported
down during the week and the In
dustry produced only 37J per cent
of its average weekly cut during
1926-29.
Orders for 88,943,069 board feet,
taken by those mills, while 33,000,
000 less than the previous week
were "unusual" for this time of
year and during a holiday period,
the association said.
Most of the new business taken
during the week was for shipments
by rail, with orders for 56.772,441
board feeU For four consecutive
weeks the volume of rail trade or
ders has been greater than at any
time since 1929, the association said.
At the same time, they said, the
mills dependent largely on water
travel for shipments,, were either
closed or on a drastically reduced
operating schedule, due to the
strike, the association reported.
They estimated the total loss in
water production and shipments, due
to the strike, at approximately 360,-
000,000 board feet.
More than 17,500 people have been
thrown either wholly or partially
out of employment by curtailment
of water shipment, it was said. The
association estimated payroll loss
for the nine weeks to January 2. at
approximately $3,150,000.

collection we have seen seems to be
more exciting than usual and there
are many chic bright, bold prints
with dark backgrounds that look Just
exactly right with dark accessories
one and two-piece styles are best and
the wisest hint we can give you now
Is to be sure to have short sleeves,
which are fashion tops. . . . The
tricky box coat costumes are strictly
oolleglenne, because no one but a
college girl could conceive such a
young and attractive costume, and
they are the best bets If you want a

like dubonnet and blue print with
dubonnet box coat in sheer wool,
black and yellow print with black
coat, aqua and brown with aqua

green coat, navy and rust with navy

delightful swing . . There are shirred
puffed sleeves, a trim little bodice
set with four tailored bows of the
same material and a simple, squared
neckline .... all In a luscious shade
of blue .... To go with this dress
there is an adorable red velvet coat,
with full shoulders and stiff collar,
in harmony with the lines of the
dress. You sub-debs . . don't miss
these frocks . . . they'll give you that
certain touch of charm you so de
sire ....

ANGLO-ITALIAN
TREATY SIGNED
ENDS FRICTION
(Continued from page 1)
Is an integral part of the Mediter
ranean problem."
The text of the agreement. It was
announced, will be published Mon
day.
Meeting in this Chigl palace,
Count Oaleazzo Ciano, Italian min
ister for foreign affairs, and Sir
Eric Drummond. the British ambas
sador, signed the document this
morning.
It was considered probable the
accord would assist In an eventual
regulation of the Spanish civil war
as a danger to the status quo of the
Mediterranean.
Informed sources have reiterated,
however, that Italy does not intend
to desert the Spanish fascist In
surgents.
The agreement was understood to
begin with a general preamble to
the effect the activities of the two
countries in the Mediterranean were
naturally not antagonistic but com
plementary.
The accord was understood to be
strictly bilateral and does not con
template the entrance of other
countries, for example France.
It was believed, however, the
French foreign office would issue a
statement approving the pact as in
line with the Franco-British policy
oi closer cooperation with Italy.
Tne signing put the finishing
touch on negotiations which began
immediately after Premier Musso
llnl's speech at Milan last Novem
ber.
II Duce assured England Italy did
not intend to interrupt Britain's
route through the Mediterranean to
the far east but signified, at the
same time, Italy did not plan to al
low any country to bottle her up In
the Mediterranean.
He offered England, in effect, a
"gentleman's agreement" defining
their respective spheres of influence
In the Mediterranean.
British Foreign Secretary An-!
thony Eden in a speech immediately
after Indicated England was In ac
cord with such suggestions and ne
gotiations soon got under way.
Paris, Jan. 3 (U.R Official France
beheld the Italo-British" Mediter
ranean agreement today as "a long1
step toward European peace."
A foreign office spokesman char
acterised the accord -as "ironing out
international misunderstandings'
and expressed hope the pact would
draw Germany closer to England
and France.
The Berlin government, he assert
ed, could not afford to stand alone
against a powerful combination In
the Mediterranean, a declaration
forecasting the possibility of a sep
arate agreement between Italy and
France.
