Seattle, Wash, Aug. 23.--ln contrast
with the criticism leveled at the spruce
production division Of the army dur
ing the, war, j. j. Donovan, Of the
Blodedel Lumber Mills, Bell
ingham, came to the support of Briga-
dier General Brice p. Disque and other
heads of the spruce division when he
appeared before the congressional in
yestigating committee this morning.
Although admitting that the Stems
Carey Kerbaugh railroad, built for the
handling of airplane spruce, was Every
expensive to the government, Dono-
van excused the costly outlay on thu
ground that the work was pushed thru
to success in one third of the time it
should have taken and necessarily was
more costly than had the work been
done leisurely.
Donovan told the committee that he
became director Of the spruce pro-
duction corporation after the railroad
contract had been given to the Stems
eayey-Kerbaugh corporation.
In contradiction Of the testimony Of
numerous loggers that General Disque
failed to consult experienced loggers in
building railroads and camps, Donovan

.SHOPNEN EXPECTING
EARLY SETTLEMENT
Union Leaders Locking For
Hines To Act Fast Upon
Wage Demands.
By Ralph F. Couch

Omitted Press Staff Gorrespondent)
Washington Aug. 23.-Leaders of
100000 organized railway shopmen to-
day expected an early answer from Rail
Director Hines on their demands for
wage increases according to Secretary
Conlon, of the railway division of the
American Federation of Labor
Indications that Hines may already
have an answer ready were seen in the
fact that Hines yesterday conferred
with the president for the second time
this week. Hines has refused to say
what the answer will be. Should Hines
grant the wage increases, freight rates
increases may follow officials of the
railroad administration believe. shop
men are determined to force granting
Of the demands, according to early re-
turns received here in the national
strike vote now being taken.
sfAbout SO per cent of the votes al
ready counted are for standing pat on
the original demands presented January
for an increase from 6S to 50 cents
an hour said Conlon today "The de.
mands also include provision that the
increase be made retroactive from Jan
uary /.
Voting to enforce the original de-
mands means the men want strike
if Hines refuses to aecede.''
Thirty days notice must be given
before the strike begins according to
Conlon.
Conlon said the men were voting Oh
two propositions. The first is that pro
posed by President Wilson who sug
gested the whole matter be left to the
decision of board TO be created BY
congress.
'sLess than two per cent of the votes
already counted favor this said Con
lon. 'sThe second question was wheth

DRIED LOCANBERR|ES
SHIPPED TO CANADA
Salem Fruit Union Ships Car
load Worth $4,000 To
Winnipeg.

A car load if dried loganberries, valu-
ued at $4,000 was shipped yesterday by
the Salem Fruit Union to Winnipeg,
Canada. This is the first complete st.
Of loganbersies shipped this season out
Of the valley. During the past year the
Canadians have developed fondness
for the loganbcrry.
This ear of loganberries was pack
cd in eight ounce cartons and were all
Of the Forest brand. The total number
of packages in the car was l04,92S.
Robert G.. Paulus, manager Of the Sa-
lem Fruit Union reports that the Union
has sold all it's berries held in Chicago,
!or price averaging 70 cents pound
In addition to finding the highest
market for its loganberries the Union
has sold the screenings Gnd loose seeds
! for As cents pound to a firm manu-
featuring fIavoring extracts. BY thus
selling the screenings and by-products
of the ioganberry, the Union is follow
ing in the footsteps of the Swift ane
Armour packing houses in Chicago
where it Is said they sell everything but
/ the squeal.
Mr.. Paulus also reports that the ln
lion has Just sold ctr of Ortley appie'
for 1886 for the extra fancy and $2.6'
for the fancy grade, fob. Salem. Th'
sale was made through the Willamette
Valley Fruit exchange. The Ortlcy ap
pies, Mr.. paulus said, was well adapted
to this section of the state had the ap
pearance Of being the coming apple TO
this part of the valley. Only three Q
four carloads are available.
| Several deals are now on for the sal
of Spitzenbergs by the carload, and tn
first car Of Gravensteins will be ship
ped next week. The Salem Fruit uniol
was obliged to refuse an order for ca
load of Jonathans few days ago MI
Paulus said because a number OF grow
ers had not notified the Union Of thei
crops and there was no means by whlc
the directors could estimate the Gro
and thereby be in position to accept OF
aers.

Parcel Post Charges On
Surplus Army Foods Make
Salem Prices Excessive

"Do not take orders from consum.

20, nor forward any acquisitions to
the Zone Surplus Property officer af-
ter the Goth inst These are the in
struetions issued to Postmaster August
Huckestein in regard to the sale Of
army food supplies at San Francisco.
Only four orders for food were sent in
from the Salem postoffice although
as IN office of the irst class, Salem was
entitled to pretty liberal allotment.
There was some interest shown early
Monday morning but when the would
be purchasers stopped to igurc out the
fourth zone rate, it was found to be
prohibitive. There was also some doubt
as TO whether bacon furnished the army
was up to the civilian standard. One
man sent in an order from Salem but
his cost figured 40Ha cents pound.

CRY NEEDS SANITARY
INSPECTION is CLAIM
Councilman Says Supervisor
Needed To Enforce Build
ing Requirements.

Salem is the only city of its size in
the United States without a plumbing
or sanitary Inspector" declared city
alderman this morning, "and unless
something is done to remedy this con-
dition, with all the renodelling and
building now going on, serious conse-
quenees may follow.
As matters now stand in the city,
there is no inspection of plumbing or
even VT the sanitary cdnditions Of
buildings, or whether those now under
construction comply with ordinary sam
itary laws. Anyone may be his own
plumber and no one will interfere.
at the last meeting of the city cour-
ell, Alderman Gerald VolE called at
tentlon to the fact that the plumbers
of the city were not complying with
the city ordinance passed in 1913 re-
quiring all plumbers to pay an annual
license of $50. A motion was introduc-
ed by Mr.. yolk, and approved by the
council, that hereafter the ordinance
should be enforced.
The records of the city treasurer
show that after the passing of the
1913 ordinance, the plumbers paid their
licenses for two or three years but in
1916 only two complied with the law.
After early in 1916, he plumbers en-
tirely disregarued the law.
They claimed that as there was no
plumbing or even sanitary inspector,
there was no use in paying the license
and no action has been taken to COM
pei them to paw the annual license fee
of 500.
| The plumbers also claim that they
would be more than willing to pay the
800 if there was local inspector. As
the matter now stands with the law not
being enforced, any outside firm may
come into the city and by low bid
do plumbing that would fail to pass a
citv inspector.
It is probable that al an early meet
ing of the city council, this matter Of
city inspector will be discussed. es-
peeially as the Indications are there
will be considerable building this com
ing year.
! b. W. Macy, city attorney, said this
morning. referring to the ordinance
\ that is in effect, and referring also to
the action taken by the city counci
last Monday evening. that every plumb
J or in the city who had not taken out
a license by next Monday would be ar
rested ON warrant charging him with
