PRICE OF HOGS CLIMB
IN PORTLAND MARKET
(From Sundays Journal.)

PoRTLAND.-The sharp advance
in the price of hogs at North Port
land during the week was due direct
ly to the smaller run in the local
yards although the sharp advances in
the east were influences of note.
The market for hogs was very at
tractive at all American points during
the weeks trade. Receipts at all
points continue below the actual re-
quirements of killers and for that
reason prices generally have main
tanned a steady upward movement.
Locally the run was very small. to-
falling during the week but 1923 heal.
compared with 1864 last week and
2016 the previous six days. Similar
conditions are showing in the eastern
trade and forecasts are being freely
made in the Chicago market that
hogs will advance to at least SIS be-
fore the present bullish movement
subsidies
The fact that Europe is clamoring
for foodstuff supplies from America
and that millions of pounds of hams,
bacon and lard have recently been
sold for that account by leading east
ern packers, forces an unusually
strong tone for swine on the hoof.
General hog market range:
Best light 200 pounds ....$ 800
Medium .............. S.65 a SIS
Heavy ................ S'-0 y S'SV
Fat pigs ....,.....'.... COW e'uV
Cattle Market just Holding.
Market for cattle was just about
able to hold its own during the week.
Tops sold early.i in the week around
$3.50 and while there were few sales
at this price. this was due principal
~ to the fact that little real good
quality was available in the steer di-
vision.
There was a record run of cattle
in the yards early this week and nat
urally, this had a direct effect upon
values.
Market for cattle is showing con-
siderable strength at points in the
east. The usual summer decline Is
OF being forced; in fact values there
have been almost stationary during
recent weeks

LABOR uNITES
IN FEDERATION
TO STOP WARS

Philadelphia, Nov. l3.-The
formation of an association OF an
organization for the prevention of
war was recommended by the
Council of the American Fedora
tion of Labor, representing 2,0O7, :
671 members of allied organizations
Convinced the greatest burdens
of war are falling on the shoulders
of the toilers, the council declared:
THE W, rking people, the masses
of the worlds population, can end
all wars if they but have the inde-
pendence to think and to give their
convictions reality by daring to do.
WARS will cease when society
is convinced that human life is
really sacred and when society es
tablishes agencies, international as
we'll as national, for protecting
lives"
Members declared the conven-
ton must adopt some constructive
plan to stop warfare.
The great growth of the Fedora
ton was emphasized in the annual
statement of Secretary Frank Nor
rison. Since the meeting a month
ago he reported 62,e82 laborers
have joired, making the total mem
bership over 100000.
In 25 States and Porto Rico 225
charters were issued to new
branches. There was balance OF
102, 492 81 in the treasury at the
close of the year.
Secretary Morrison declared that
as result of the 957 strikes con
ditions for a. $50 workers were
materially improved. The total
cost of the strikes, counting the
$109, 204 raised by un:ons for the
assistance of strikers, amounted to
$4, 389, $40.

Their elbows are always bent toward

pastime has not yet been imported
into cherry blossom land 1t is only
recently that few of the Japanese
have learned to shake hands. We
travellers are hoping that they will
take up other great American institu-
tions. japanese look upon kissing as
being low and vulgar, believing that
few moments spent in howing Is much
better. The girls feel that way about
1T. too-they say.
When an ardent young Japanese
suitor slips his arm around the girls
waist and whispers into her shell-like
ear that she is the only woman who
has ever understood him and when
she looks up confidingly into his eyes
and breathes "You are so strongp he
does not clasp her to his bosom In an
ecstasy Of JOY and plant delirious
kiss on her trembling lips-no, instead
OF that he gets up and bows polite
ly and thanks her in few courteous
phrases.
One cannot help feeling sorry for
them when thinking how many pleas
ant evenings they miss. From my
limited experience | wouldn't give
good old fashioned Missouri kiss for
ten minutes of bows.-Homer Croy In

Many instances occurred during our

this assertion.

REVERSING a phonoaraph RECORD,

A remarkably curious experiment
may be performed with any ordinary
phonograph. The sound box is re-
versed so that the needle slopes the
other way, enabling the disk to be
turned backward by the finger being
placed near the center The effect
produced is extremely astonishing.
You hear the human voice singing
songs backward: you hear the harmony
of Wagner ackward-plain English
sounds like a Chinese language. The
most remarkable effect is perhaps to
play chime of bells in this reversed
manner. The sound rushes up and mp.
but there is never single strike or
clash of bell. The strike on the ear
is reversed and is nothing but sharp
cessation OF sound. STRAND Maya

Judge Neff found school Superin-
tendent Frederick guilty of con-
tempt of Court for refusing to obey
an order to reinstate six grade
teachers who were dismissed
because they belonged to their
uewlv formed union against the or
ders of the board of education.
The decision is a remarkable one
because of it's condemnation OF
methods employed by public school
officials in this city and also be-
cause of a defense of the teachers
to form union, and affiliate to
the American Federation of Labor,
which, the court declares is "a
lawful organization.

use of strong terms in his condem.
nation of the superintendent, whose
methods were declared to be
Cruel, heartless and tyrannical +"
and whose excuses are termed
mere, sheer, bare, bald evasion
and pretense.
In referring to the resolution of
the board of education prohibiting
teachers joining the union, Judge
Neff said:
RESOLUTION VICIOUS.
The a lti-union resolution of
the board was vicious in its princi-
pie as we'll as subversive of consti-
tutional liberty. If the board can
validly discriminate against labor
unions, then it may discriminate
because of race or color, or patton
ality or creed, or for any other ar
bitrary reason.
There is no necessary conflict
between afiliation with the Amer
lean Federation of Labor and the
vocation of a teacher. The testi-
mony submitted in the case shows
/ that all the alarm of strikes and
boycotts that seems to have dis.
turbed the board is utterly I'm
founded, for the reason, that
strikes amongst public employees
are not tolerated by the Federation.
1T is un-American and grossly
unjuFt to legislate in any way
against these who toll
The board has no right to pass
the rule 1t was an act of folly,
and It's principle was vicious, un
American, unpatriotic and unjust.
II the courts are so palsied, so
powerless, so decrepit as not to in
fere, then judges ought to be
brought to the courthouse in wheel
chairs and fed with spoons.
THE high handed outrage
which the board of education seem
ed determined to commit was so
spectacular, SO glaring that il was
high time that a precedent be
made; SO this court made one, and
by so doing saved hundreds of
teachers from losing their positions.
This may be the last import
ant case which | shall ever decide
but if it is, | could not wish finer
valedictory.
