Portland, Or, Aug. 5.-Many
lumber mills in the northwest,
which closed as a result OF con-
gestion of the yards. owing to
the inability to ship lumber dur
ing the seamen's strike are now
contemplating resuming opera
tions, according to Chester ]. Ho-
que, acting secretary of the West

Probe Method
For Shipment
Broccoli Crop

The Importance OF Oregon s
broccoli industry is making itself
felt and government officials are
making plans to investigate the
best methods of shipping. There
has been some trouble with the
broccoli jackets yellowing before
they reach the market when they
have to be shipped long distances.
George X. Link of the bureau
of plant industry and G. w. Mann
OF the bureau of markets have
conferred with the management
of the Oregon Growers Coopera-
tive association regarding investi-
cation of present methods of ship
ment and it is probable that the
government will cooperate with
the association in this winters
shipments to determine methods
which will eliminate the present
difficulties.
The broccoli would be careful
ly inspected before and after ship
ment, according to plans. and 1t Is
probable that men will accom-
pany the cars going east to learn
the exact condition of the vege-
table along the way.
With the increasing Importance
of the broccoli industry in Ore
gon, assistance of this nature
from the department of agricul-
ture will be greatly appreciated
by the broccoli growers of the
state.
Last season the Oregon Growers
shipped so cars of broccoli from
different points in Oregon.

LABOR BOARD
AGAINST PENNSY
Ruling Will Deny Com
pany's Appeal to Deal
Direct With Workers
MAY REFUSE TO
ABIDE BY ORDER

CHICAGO. Sept. 16. - Omitted
Press) The United States Railroad
Labor Board has prepared a ruling
which refuses the petition OF the
Pennsylvania that it be allowed to
treat with its 32.500 employees with
out meeting Federated shop craft Of
ficials, II was learned today.
That the road may refuse to abide
by such a decision was intimated by
utterances Of its officials and by its
petition to the board which went so
far as insisting" that II be granted
the right to deal directly with its
employees instead OF with Outside"
labor officials.
Added significance was given this
attitude by the fact that the Penn
sylvania for months has been fight
ing the battle of all the roads before
the board.
The way for the Pennsylvania to
violate a ruling OF the board is easy
as there is no penalty for violation of
the boards edicts. members OF the
organization have said.
Public opinion will be the deciding
factor--the court of appeals over the
railroad board. according to one rail-
road official.
This statement OF Elisha Lee,
vice-president OF the Pennsylvania,
was considered significant:
Under no circumstances can we
honorably pursue the course dictated
by the railroad board"
II the Pennsylvania is successful
in dofying the board It is generally
believed other roads will follow that
course.
Sentiment OF workers, who have
voted overwhelmingly against ac-
ceptance OF the wage cut OF July to-
ward the "open shop" trend of the
road. will be tested in Chicago and
several other cities Sunday when
mass meetings will be held.
