BUYERS WEEK WILL NOT

The Portland Chamber of Com

statement:
II is with keen regret that the job
bers and manufacturers OF Portland,
Oregon. the great commercial, indus
trial and ship building center, an
nounce to the merchants of the Pac-

courage travel. so that man power
and motive power may be conserved

situation in general quite spotted and
for the extent of territory visited
there is a lot of very poor wheat, as
well as some that is very excellent.
We would take it from the report
these gentlemen make that the wheat
production of these counties will be
cut very short and will fall far below
normal this season. They we're as
much interested, however, in the ev-
licences of progress and prosperity
noted in much OF the territory visit
ed, and they also made some notes on
the manner and methods of farming
being adopted in the best wheat pro-
ducing districts. There appears to
be a great advancement along these
lines, and it is the opinion of these
gentlemen that short crop this sea-
son is not at all due to the methods
of farming. BY comparison, the out
look in Morrow county is not so bad

AGAINST PACKERS
LABOR UNION OFFICIAL ALLEGES
DISCRIMINATION AGAINST
MALE EMPLOYEES.

Chicago, Feb 16,-Council for the
employees in the stocKyards wage arbi.
tration in progress today asked to have
]. Ogden Armour and Nelson Morris
appear this afternoon, if possible, as
witnesses before Federal Judge Samuel
Alschuler.
Attorneys for the packers protested
but promised to produce both witnesses
if they were in the city and waived
the necessity of the service of the sub
poenaes.
Timothy McCreash, an organizer for
the Amalgamated Meat Cutters and
Butchers Workmen, concluded his testi
mony this morning He accused the
packers Of hiring large numbers of
women to take places of men in many
of the plants, especially in Kansas City
in order to reduce operating expenses
The women, he said were employed in
meat trimming hog singeing and truck
ing hams and other work formerly done
exclusively by men. The women, he
said, received twenty to twenty-five and
one-haf cents an hour, while the men
received twenty-seven and one.half
cents to thirty.one cents a Il hour for
the same work.
In Kansas City Plant.
The witness said that employees in
the Kansas City st. Joseph, Mo, and
other western plants received lower
rates of wages than those IN Chicago
He said he had not been permitted to
work in any Chicago plant since 1898
because of his activity in the labor
movement
On cross examination the witness ad-
mitted his knowledge of wages and
working conditions in the plants was
obtained by talking with employees, as
he was denied admission to the firms

The witness declared that if the pack.

there would be no need of the firms
maintaining benevolent and welfare or
