APPLE GROWERS ORGANIZE
Will Establish Agencies in All
Large Business Centers.

Snokane. Wash.-Out of confer
ence of apple growers in Spokane last
November has been evolved coopera-
tive marketing organization which
will be launched Immediately on q
CONFERENCE.-THE basis, having exclusive

North America, extending from Mon
troal tn Texas. and from Florida to
Eastern Montana.
Through these agencies most OF tne
great apple crop of the states OF
Washington, Oregon, Idaho and Mon
tana will be marketed comparatively
under one central selling agency.
The organization of Pacific North
west fruit growers is considered by
bankers and business men to be the
most important economic development
of the present decade, and they are
freely asserting that this cooperative
movement will mean the salvation OF
the apple industry of these states,
which last year produced 16, 600 car
loads.
Carload shipments will commence
next week under direction of General
Manager j. H. Robbins at the Spokane
headquarters of the distributors. While
apples perhaps will constitute the bulk
of the corporations shipments, all de-

Palouse Farmers Optimistic.

Palouse - The optimism of the Pa
louise farmer is increasing daily over
the crop prospects. Following an ex-
tremely wet June, the weather has
been cool enough to protect the tender
grain from burning, but sufficiently
warm for good growth. Farmers say
the oat crop and the crop of spring
wheat promises to be the largest in
the history of the country, while there
will be an average crop of fall wheat.
The acreage of oats is unusually large.
The farmers are busy cutting their
first crop of alfalfa, which is heavy,
and the extreme amount of moisture
in the ground insures good second
cutting this fall.

shortly after $50 o'clock Wednesday
night.
The next minute a deputy sheriff,
under orders from Sheriff Tom Word,
stepped forward and pulled Burns
from the soap box.
'.You are under arrest, said the
deputy.
Almost on the instant Sixth street,
filed with crowd of several hundred
persons, only comparatively small
percentage Of whom were /. w. VS.,
became scene Of the widest disorder.
AS Burns was pulled down, Rudolph
Schwab, another agitator, one OF the
leaders of the strike now IN progress
at the Oregon Packing plant in this
city, jumped on the box.
At the same time Word and five
other of his deputies jumped forward.
They were reinforced by dozen pa
trolmen, who had been posted on the
outskirts Of the crowd under strict
orders from Mayor Albee to preserve
order at the meeting. The raid that
ensued was made as the result of COM
certed action planned by Sheriff Word
and Mayor Albee. Both were present
in the crowd.
One of Words deputies dragged
Schwab off the box, and as he did SO
the agitator's place was taken by Mrs.
O'Connor, a full-blooded Cherokee
Indian, one of the strikers at the Ore
gon Packing plant. She began to
wave her arm wildly, but a deputy
took her by the arm and pulled her. off.
Words orders that the next person
to try to speak from the box would be
arrested had been shouted forth, but
right after Mrs. O'Connor's- arrest, /.
D. Ransley, who had harrangued from
the box earlier in the evening, leaped
to her place.
Then what had been an uproar be-
came half riot.
Ransley was arrested. Then speak
er after speaker who tried to follow
him on the box was seized and placed
under arrest.
In quick succession six more speak
ers were hauled down by police and
deputy sheriffs and bundled off to Jail

Sheriff Word himself stopped the
procession of speakers after ten had
been arrested, by Selling the soap box.
There have been few occasions in
Portland when speakers have gone so
far in vileness Of language and incen-
diary and seditious talk as Burns did
before the sheriff and police stepped
in and broke up the meeting.

TO BRING COUNTER CHARGE
Complaints Against Men to Be Pre-
scented to ArbitratOrs.

New York - With the passage by
congress of the Newlands bill to pro-
vide an arbitration medium for set
thing the wage differences between As
Eastern railroads and their $4,000
conductors and trainmen, new phase
of the controversy developed through
the announcement by the railroads
that they would ask the board which
considers the demands of the employees
to take up also the grievances of the
roads against the men.
Chairman Elisha Lee, of the con-
ference committee of managers, said
that the railroads would demand arbi-
tration which would take into consid-
Grafton all questions of difference be-
tween the employers and the employ
ed. He alluded to the wording of the
letter in which the conference COM
mittee agreed to arbitrate under the
Newlands legislation. The roads were
willing to submit to arbitration by q
board, as provided in the Newlands
bill, call questions of rates Of pay and
working conditions.
"The language of our letter is
clear" said Mr.. Lee. I'VE feel that
it is right to ask for arbitration which
takes into consideration the grievances
of the railroads as well as the griev-
ances of the employees.
When Chairman Elisha Lees state
ment in behalf of the roads was con-
veyed to A. B. Garretson and w. G..
Lee, heads of the conductors and
trainmen's organizations, respective
~, they would not comment on the
matter, but said they might make a
statement later.
