while during the week ending Febru-
lary 25, as stated above, 12O,261 cas-
es entered the city. The total re-
ceipts since March 1st show an ex-
cess of approximately one million
cases over the receipts for the same
period last year. Is 1t surprising
that wholesale prices tumbled from
70 cents to 80 cents?
The law Of supply and demand is
working "a hours every day just as
1t always has and always will. What
we need is wider publicity and edu-
cation Of the public regarding the
real cause of price fluctuations. The
,bugaboo of manipulation would die

eggs, This factor, which could not
have been predicted, was the unus
ually heavy production OF butter in
January, and eggs in January and
February. This was due to the
spring-like weather which has pre-
vailed over practically the entire
country
The season of heavy production OF
eggs normally begins about one
month later than it began this year
and that of butter three months lat
er. We have had abnormal condi-
tions which no one anticipated.
This greater production during
January and February of 1919 is re-
flected in the statistics of receipts
at New York, which market is rep
resentative of conditions thruout
the country. Receipts of butter were
running about 5000 packages per
week during the early part Of De-
cember; then increased production
began to make itself felt and the fig
ure mounted rapidly, until during
the week ending January 14th, 62,-
624 packages were received on the
New York market, the weekly arriv-
ais having almost doubled in one
month. Up to February 18th the
total New York receipts since May
1st amounted to 136,1S2 packages
in excess of the receipts for the same
period last year. Reflecting these
conditions, wholesale prices on fresh
creamery stock, extras, dropped from
approximately 6S cents to AZ cents
per pound in three weeks.
The figures for eggs show even
more surprising conditions. Weekly
receipts of eggs in New York City
rose from approximately $1,000
cases in early December to 120,261
cases for the week ending February
25th, or an increase of 225 per cent.
During the week ending January 2S,
about $4,000 cases arrived; the next
week receipts jumped to 62,OOO;

Protests Building
Dam on Link River

r. Il. Bradbury, of klamath Falls,
director of the klamath irrigation
district, appeared before the state
land board in Salem, Tuesday, to en-
list the support of the board in op-
posing the action Of the government
in granting a permit to the California
Oregon Power company to construct
a dam at the head of Link river, in
klamath county.
It is contended that II the dam is
constructed 1t would cause the water
of the upper klamath lake to rise
three or four feet, thereby flooding
5000 acres of state swamp lands and
also destroying the natural drainage
Of 10000 acres of privately owned
lands.
In 1905 the Oregon legislature
ceded to the United States govern
ment the bed of upper klamath lake,
for which Link river is the outlet, for
a reservoir for the klamath irriga-
tion project, which is a government
reclamation project

Time to Prune Roses
is In Present Month

March Is the month to prune and
spray roses, according to well
known rose culturlst who has made
an extensive study OF the business.
II 1t has not already been done prun-
ing should start Immediately, and
cultivation OF soil be carried on thru
out the spring and summer. Accord
ing to the Oregonian directions to
rose growers have been issued and
should be followed in every location
where the rose reigns supreme as 1t
does in Oregon.
Most modern rose growers believe
in pruning down to within six or
eight inches OF the ground, altho
pruning differs for almost every
plant. The general rule-prune Sc
yerely on weak plants and sparsely
on strong bloomers-remains popu-
lar with growers.
Cuts should be made just above, or
as Frederick V. Holman who. in
1904, named Portland the city Of
roses" says, "the thickness of a blot
ter just above an eye, as the new
growth on a rosebush is called. "The
cuts should be made outward away
from the BUSH" said Mr.. Holman.
This will keep the mildew out and
will prevent the crowding OF the
center of the bush"
Incidentally, pruning removes the
top of the bush and 1t is on the up
per leaves that insects deposit their
eggs. II prize flowers are desired,
heavy pruning is desirable but IL
the grower is after beauty of his
garden and grounds, less cutting
will be necessary.
one OF the greatest extrayaganc-
es in rose gardening are cheap tools.
Cheap tools are costly in the end.

scissors made of the finest grade
steel. Fine steel holds an edge long
enough to cut 400 bushes, the cut is

Much Gold Found

The original "old channel or bed

depth of 22 feet below the level of
former workings, at a point between
two benches of bed rock which had
previously been uncovered. This pit
opened up a bed of gravel entirely
different in character from the clay
banks which have proved immensely
profitable during the past so years
of active operation of the mine. The
depth of this gravel has not yet been
determined as no testing has been
done in this particular spot, altho a

Why Butter and Egg
Prices Fluctuate

The average consumer, viewing re-
cent fluctuations in butter and egg
prices might naturally ask who is
rocking the boat?" When In three
weeks butter and egg prices each fall
21 cents, and then butter prices be-
gin to swing up again, the consumer
thinks that this must be caused by
manipulation, and that temporarily
the law of supply and demand is not
In operation. The real facts in the
case are interesting.
There are two main factors which
brought about this unusual drop in
butter, both of which were absolute
ly Unforeseen. Either factor alone
probably would have been sufficient
TO upset the market-but taken to-
gether, the result was inevitable.
The first factor requires some
little explanation. In August the
Government Communicated approx
mately 60 per cent Of the storage
stock of butter for the use of the
Army, Navy, and allied countries,
and notified the trade that even this
large amount would not in all prob
ability meet Government require
ments. This left a severe shortage
in regular commercial stocks and re-
suited in rising market.
In early January, however, the
Food Administrator announced that
the Government would not require
the full amount Of commandeered
supplies. No one knew the amount
which would be thrown on the mar
ket, and the trade became panicky.
Retailers stopped buying, in antlci-
patton Of much lower prices, and it
became evident that a severe read

cur II confidence were to be restored.
AS is usual under panic conditions,
the reaction was too severe; prices
dropped below correct values, and
the tendency is now upward to lev
els warranted by conditions.
This reaction has been intensified
by the decision of the Food Admins
tration to reinstate all orders which
had been cancelled by this first an
nouncement. At present the avail
able supply is far short of meeting
the demand at reasonable prices, for
the demand far exceeds the supply.
receipts having materially decreased
following the slump in prices. With
increased demand and decreased pro-
ductlon, we are experiencing an in
evitable reaction from the recent
decline.

butter prices to fall, also affected

The strikers of several brass factor ies. in Waterbury had pitched battles with police and deputy sheriffs on Thursday night, lasting nearly an hour. The trouble was said to be started by pickets interfering with workers. The employees of the mills on strike have no regular union organization and are not affiliated with organized labor.

ORGANIZER CURRAN
 BUSY IN HARTFORD
Brotherhood of American Rail way Express Employees There
 to Affiliate With A. F. of L.

Hartford, June 2O.-"The Brother hood of Railway Clerks is absolutely opposed to any return to private oWn- ership," Patrick M Curran of Boston, general organizer of the brotherhood, declared, speaking before the Brother hood of American Railway Express Employees at Eagles Hall. Members of our union formerly were obliged to work for $60 to $70 month"; he added, and we were obliged to work 10 to 12 hours a day. Now we have an eight hour day and fair wages. We will never return to the old conditions, which might come back with private owner ship"
 At the close of MT. Curran's address it was voted to make the Brotherhood of American Railway Express Elm ployees local organization of the Brotherhood of Railway Clerks affi1ia- ted with the American Federation of Labor, as a branch of the Railway Clerks Union. It will from now on be Brotherhood of Railway Clerks.
 Besides the organizer from Boston, there were number of other speakers, all registering their opposition to the return of the railroads and express com panies to private control. The com panies themselves, they said, were more efficiently managed and gave better ser vice than under the old conditions.
 At present union officers said there were no pressing complaints, as work ing hours and wages were proving sat isfactory. It Is against return to the old conditions, which they say formerly existed, for which they are organizing. They say that the brotherhood will now receive the full support of the Amer ican Federation of Labor, and that the express workers will be enabled to exert much more power as body as members of the Brotherhood of Railway Clerks. The express branch will have a mem- bership of about 200, according to the officers.
 In addition to the decision to anal gamate with the A. F. A., the officers elected by 1he express employees last years were reelected as follows: Pres ident, F. H. Forman; vice-president, Harry Kyle; financial secretary, George Fortin; recording secretary, J. J. Welsh; treasurer, Thomas F. Cofey.

DISTRICT ATTORNEY
 TO PROBE ICE TRUST
Efforts of New Haven, Hartford and Bridgeport Officials to
 Have Ice Sold Reasonably.

City officials in New Haven, Hart ford and Bridgeport, as well as otller places, are making determined effort to have ice sold at reasonable 7gure New Haven is considering the advis- ability of operating a municipal plant for making ice. John F. Crosby, United States District Attorney i'll Connecticut, whose office IS in Hartford, has taken hold of the matter and says:
 ''I intend to investigate this thing thoroughly then 1 will be better pre- pared to say what 1 propose to do. The information that has been placed be- fore me seems interesting, and 1 intend to consider 1t carefully. No formal complaint has been made to me yet, but you may say that the matter is receiv- ing my attention"
 Harry w. Walker of the Berkshire Ice Company of Bridgeport seems to have secured control of most of the ice companies and is called the Ice King" It is said he bought up one company in Hartford to stifle competition. He has fixed the price of ice in New Ha- ven at 80 cents hundred and put 1t at 60 cents in Bridgeport and even less in New York.
 Hugh M. A1corn, the states attorney for Hartford county, says he intends to act on the ice question but not before he consults with the United States Dis triCt Attorney. With all the probes and investigations by committees 1t is ex- pected that cheaper ice will be secured The New Haven Trades Council some time ago approved the efforts made by Mayor Fitz Gerald to get the price of ice reduced.

Tle Connecticut Labor Press at all times desires to be fair and 1t pritns with pleasure the following communities ton from one of New Hayen's most earnest and conscientious workers in the cause of Organized Labor: Editor Confeeticut Labor Press:
 As a subscriber to your paper and as a member of Organized Labor de- sire to take exception to your designa- ton of MT. Edward Heating as one known to be unfriendly to organized labor.
 Il have been close observer of MT Keating's political record also of local labor affairs for several years and have not seen or hea-&sgsS vidence to convince me g.s - has been sunfriendly u oraafllzed labor.
 On the oontrary,I have often heard him express his approval of organized labor and state his willingness to CO., operate with its representatives toward securing the election of legislative rep resentatives known to be friendly to the cause of labor. 2
 Finally, the fact that MT. Keating is a member in good standing of Federal Employees Union No. 102, affiliated with the A. F. of L. should convince even the most prejudiced that he is not unfriendly to organized labor. -t.
 Very truly yours,
 JOHN w. MURPHY.
 1920 Blatchley Ave, June 20, 191o."
 This papers assumption that MT. Keating is considered unfriend1y to Or ganized Labor is based upon the action of the New Haven Trades Council which went on record as opposing his election as general registrar and his ap- pointment as jailer on exactly those grounds, that his attitude in the past had been such as to evidence an un- friendliness toward Organized Labor.

 At special meeting of Typographi- cal Union No. AZ of New Haven, held last Frida' evening in Trades Council Hall to act on proposition presented by the newspaper publishers regarding an increase over the present scale the contract for which does not expire until May l, 1920, the proposition was en- dorsed by vote of B to 17. This mat ter will now have to be brought before regular meeting of the union for final ratification before it becomes effective, and as there is considerable opposition to it because of the fact that 1t means an extension of the scale until Novem- Der 1, 1921, and for that reason the action which will be taken at the regu- lar meeting in July is problematical.
