POR1LAND, Ore., July 14. (AP)
Oregon's export industries have been
throttled by the coast-wide marine
workers' strike and the effects of the
66 days of impasse have extended
continuously to vast number of
other industries.
Lumber and wheat Industries are
two of the largest adversely affected
However, concern has been expressed
over chances of moving the apple
and pr crops of the fertile Oregon
and Washington orchard areas.
The motor fuel industry, upon
which thousands depend for II veil
hood, also faces practically suspen
sion in some sections, oil company
officials etate.
The Emergency Export association
has bought no wheat for movement
to the orient stnee the longshore
men's strike started May 9. A small
amount of wheat at a terminal here
has been loaded for shipment the
past week. However, no new .sup
plies have been moved onto the ter
minal. A few swaths already have been
cut on the 1934 wheat harvest.
Hundreds of men have been idle
for various periods In Oregon lum
ber mills and camps, virtually all
of which have been affected. Paper
and pulp mills at Salem and south
ern Washington points have lost some
time due to the strike.

"pinch" from the strike, which they
say has slowed their turnover.

deterred some people from getting
farther than a tankful of gasoline
from home. Oregon'sprlnclpal ports
of entry for gasoline Portland, As

how effective the gasoline, blockade

days. (
