Miclatlon, made a special trip to Hend
Thursday, to ndvino the present con
dition or the potato market ror the
benefit of the Pond growers. In his
l market report at Tho First National
Hank, he quotes as follows;
"Potato market firm nnd higher.
The association offered $2.25 for V.
S. No. l grade and $2.40 to $2.50 for

opinion that tho next thirty days will

DATE OF CHANGE NOT

$4.80 IS NEW MINIMUM
Conciliation Ilonnl I'lle Report
Itit.Mil on Inre.ttlgatlon in Ucnd
nnd Portland, on Unskilled
Iibor Condition.
With the decision of the Stata
board of conciliation, received hero
on Friday by representatives ot
tho Urookd-Scanlon Lumber Co.
The Shevlln-Hlxon Company, and
the Thnborworker local, unskilled
labor in the employ of tho lunVbcr
companies will go on a mlnloauia
wage nt $4,80 per day. Just when
this I to take effect was not stipu
lated in the findings of the board,
and no definite information on tha
subject could bo secured in Bend
ed. Hoy Southvvorth. secretary of
the union, stated that it was hla
impression that It bad been agreed
that the advance. If made, should
he rotroactlve to Augunt 1, but
neither J. P. Koyes, of the Itrooks
Scanlon mill, nor J. P. Hennessey ot
The Shevlln-Hlxon Company "was
able to make a definite statement
on this point. .
Unskilled l-'ibor Atlvnnreil.
Another point which Is apparently
undecided, ia as to whether or not
the change mado in the minimum
for unskilled labor will affect to
wages ot other classes of employes.
The Investigations of the concilia
tion board were entirely concerned
with the unskilled labor minimum,
and the tniUL-eproscntatlvcsj are
understood to consider that thin
wit (he only point at issue. Mi
nttes paid forother grades ot la
bor. Approximate figures available
"indicate that about 100 mea ia"
the two mills would be affected by
the conciliation board's findings
and the wugu raise will bo trow
$4.25 and $4.33 dally. A rela
tively niuall number or employes la
tho box factories are affected.
ItivcM i(;ut Ion Thorough.
The award was made following
a thorough sifting of data secured
by the board In a hearing in Port
land, nnd one In Bend. "In malt
ing tho award, the board recognize
tho impossibility of fixing a wage,
scale which shall bo uniformly Just

(hidings are given, says. "Obvious

tho services ot abled bodied mea,
and there should bo a fair and

as will carry out tho Intent and
purpose of tho 'board In fixing thu
scale as stated above."
II. C. L. Quustlon Important.
Living coats wero particularly
taken Into consideration by the
board in arriving at its final deci
sion. "Evldenco offered at the re
spective hearings makes cloar that
the greatly decroased purchasing

of wage scales for the unskilled

the report continues. "Tho hope
