POULTRY ASSOCIATION
WINS FIRST VICTORY
Gets Advanced Price On Big Lot And
Arouses Ire OF Commission Men
Who Talk Fight

Just how the Washington Coop
erative Egg and Poultry Association
won its first victory over the Seattle
commission men. and gained a price
two cents above the market for its
product was told by j. II Guffey,
general manager of the association,
who visited Lynden Saturday.
THE association called for bids OF,
4S2 cases of eggs" said Mr.. Guffey.
Because this represents a consider
able percentage of the amount com
ing into the Seattle market, several
bids were received, and as a result
the association Won an advanced re-
turn Of two cents per dozen over what
the eggs would have brought had
they been sent to market in individ-
ual lots.
THE move was not received fav-
orably on the street, and committee
of the commission men waited on me
and asked me what we would do if
they refused to bid on the eggs. We
told --4e2n t...-t We though we were
entitled at all times to the Petaluma
price, plus tie difference in freight.
anG that if they did not care to bid or
the eggs. that we would market them
directly to the retailers. AS III.
We're glad to bid on the lot. If, how
ever. we should have trouble at any
would cut in on their business, they
time in disposing of the eggs through
the commission men, We could al
awys dispose of our product directly
20 the consumer without any trouble
We anticipate no trouble. however"
How Seattle jobbers viewed the
entrance of the association into the
field IS indicated by the following
article from the Seattle Post-Intellig
encer of last Thursday;
seattle iobheYe today faced a new
bullfsh angle in the egg trade in the
organization of producers, who con-
troll a large percentage of the eggs
coming TO this market. which compels
them to submit sealed bids on more
than ten case lots. The agency makes
no prices, but leaves the matter en-
tirely to each bidder as TO what he
is willing to pay. Jobbers assert that
this plan has resulted in increasing
prices and retaliatory measures are
under way.
at is proposed to either stimulate
receipts by either stronger bidding in
'the country, by making no bids what
ever on the new cooperative agency,
or to bring in a horde of Petaluma

ket. The agency had SOC cases as a
start and the eggs are accumulating
Coming as it does, on the eve of
the storage season, with prices q
sc higher than ever before, jobbers
are resenting the new invasion of
their preserves with all the vigor
they can command.
mo exclusive regulations have
been hung up by the agency. but
all bidders are given free access to
the market. Jobbers assert that,
should warm weather intervene and
the holdings stay out of circulation.
quality would decline and farmers
who are cooperating would find amp
le cause for complaint as TO their re-
turns.
THAT the new association is
thorn in the sides of the jobbers was
generally conceded in the threats of
reprisals which were heard on all
sides. Promoters of the plan point
TO the costs of poultry feed as their
reason for endeavoring to get the
highest market price for their prod
uet."

 MONTREAL, Canada, Oct. 27.- One of the heayiesl and most ts- structive fires in the history of Ca nadian factories since the beginning of the war occurred at Vaudreil carly this morning when a large portion of the plant of the Canadian Explosives Manufacturing company was blown up. Following the explo sions, fire set in, and was finally got under control with greatest diff ficulty The explosions were tre- mendous and continued for more than an hour. Windows for forty miles in the vicinity were shattered to bits. No loss of life has yet been reported.
 Officials Of the company state posi- lively that there was no way in which the explosions could have been accidental, as special precau- tions had been taken to prevent ac- cidents of this nature They be Heve %has tae disaster could only have been caused by the work of German agents.
 Acting on this theory, the govern ment has sat agents to work inves- ttga ing the matter. and several sus- poets are being sought for by the police.
