PORTLAND JEWELLERS TOO

MOVE TO FORCE DEMANDS

Portland. Or. Aug. 5.-Strk,ng jew.

front Of one Portland iewtlry store,
with banners declaring the establish.
ment "unfair to organized labor.
whereupon II other jewellers hired
their own girls and hammered their own
stores as "unfair."
The jewellers figured il out that the
strikers intended TO center upon one
establishment until It granted the de-
mands Of the workers and then picket
the others in turn. So the employers
decided that If one was unfair
that's what they'd all be, thereby
cheekmating the strikers.

from their present owners; payment to
be made in government bonds; and for
future control of the lines by corpora

posed to deliver.
A meeting between the representa-.
tives of the company, headed by Mr.,
Gile, president of the company, snd the
growers was held in 1916 il the city
hall in woodburn, for the purpose of
discussing prices and contracts. At this
meeting Mr.. Gile stated that nc realized
that the prices offered were low; but
that when the company got on its feet
the growers would receive such addi-
tional sums as conditions warranted
This statement was not incorporated IN
the contracts and while il may not be
legally binding upon ne eorpaay, it
was made for the purpose OF inducing
growers to contract with them and is
a moral obligation which the company
cannot escape.
Let Us see whether the company has
fulfilled this moral obligation.
In the season Of 1918 berries were dc.
livered to the company under 5ra cent
contracts which were simply put III bar
rcls and sold for ten cents per pound
or more, These deliveries by the way
were two cents .under the market price
and still the growers continued to hope
that this moral obligation would be full

some instances paid nine cents or over

that they do; but the company says t.
