NHNlWW0r>vrjrir>vr* COMPILED EOR BUSY READERS ------------------------! Portland Egg Boycott Slackens, but Product is Lower, However Portland— E gg boy cotters are weak ening. Dealers report it i* not so strong as it was. but, even at that, the price o f eggs at wholesale has been forced down approximately 8 cents a dozen. Before the boycott eggs were sold to Portland consumers at 55 and 60 cents; now they are retailing at from 40 to 45 cents. Eggs at wholesale Thursday were 35 cents; before the boycott they were 43 cents a dozen. This is deemed considerable o f an accomplishment for the boycotterB, but it is denied that to them belongs the credit. The hens have again begun to lay, it is . stated, and fo r this reason eggs are in better supply, with conse quently lower quotations. Eggs are not so high in Portland as they were one year ago, when 60 and 70 cents prevailed fo r a time. That figure is not unusual at this tim e o f the year, it is said. The boycott unquestionably made itself felt, however, and commission men agree that consumption was les sened. However, they maintain that the ill effects o f the boycott have been felt by the farmer, instead of themselves or any other factor in the marketing process. Peace Rumors Bring Down Wheat Prices; Trading Stops Portland — Trade in all branches of the grain business in the Northwest came to a complete stop Wednesday. Wheat buyers absolutely withdrew from the market, in view o f the Ger man peace proposals. W ith no bids put out in the country, it was difficult to figure out what wheat was worth, but it was the opinion that the market was off fu lly 8 to 10 cents from Mon day’ s prices. Bids at the local ex change were reduced 5 to 8 cents, but the drop at Seattle was more severe. The market, strictly speaking, was in a waiting attitude and no one was w illing to operate on either the buying or the selling side. It was the belief o f local traders that Chicago w ill show further decline. The oats and barley markets naturally were weak. Oats bids at the Exchange were 25 to 50 cents lower and offers fo r barley were reduced $2.50 a ton. BOTH SIDES RIAN REPEAL OE LAW Adamson Promises to "Spank” Brotherhoods and Railways. TfSI SUIT MAY BE WITHDRAWN Presidential Election Makes Railroads and Men More Eager for Indua- trial Peace to Continue. Washington, D. C. — Reports that railroad and brotherhood heads in peace conferences have planned to pro pose the repeal o f the Adamson act and the substitution o f a working agreement o f their own making for it, Sunday aroused Representative Adam son, author o f the law, to declare’ that congress would “ spank” both sides to the controversy i f necessary. Mr. Adamson is w illin g to co-operate ; in any plan employes and employers may evolve fo r the interpretation o f hjs law, but w ill oppose vigorously re peal of it. “ The measure was passed in good faith and it is a constitutional enact ment regulating hours of labor and not wages,” he said. “ L et the roads and their men settle their wage disputes. “ Congress w ill see that the public gets a fa ir deal. I f it becomes neces sary to spank both sides, w e ’ll spank them, though 1 hope that won’ t be nec essary.” Representative Adamson sayB the result o f the Presidential election made the employers more eager for peace than they were last last fa ll and that the grow ing b elief that the President stands for compulsory arbitration law has put the brotherhood leaders in a conciliatory fram e o f mind. Neither labor nor congressional lead ers here have official reports as to just what phases o f the railw ay situation the conferees have taken up. B elief is current, however, in congressional circles that the foremost feature of the final agreement w ill be an inter pretation o f the Adamson law so satis factory to both sides that the suit to test the act’ s constitutionality now be fore the Supreme court may be w ith drawn.
