Complaints Against Increased Tariff To Be
Heard In Hall of Representatives; Shift
From Portland Presages New Precedent of
Holding Hearings Locally, Belief

The rehearing Of the telephone
rate case, involving recent in
crease in rates to the Pacific Tcie-
phon & Telegraph company in Ore
gon, will be held in the hall Of
representatives, capitol building,
Salem, on July Is, according to
announcement Of the public serv-
ice commission this morning.
The rehearing was granted by
the commission several weeks ago
on petition Of the city of Portland
an6 practically all of the pr.nci-
pal cities of the state but the place
OF the hearing mad not been de-
c,ded upon until today.
Commenting upon the actsen OF
the commission in setting the
hearing for Salem instead OF Port
land, w. p. Ellis. secretary OF the
commission, state that a number
of requests have peen received
urging that the hearing be held
here.
1T Is only reasonable that the
Willamette valley farming and
business interests, Of which Salem
is the territorial center, be accord
ed the same privilege and courtesy
that Portland has received In the
past" Ellis declared.
There are more farmer lines
connected with the Salem, Eugene,
Corvallis and Albany exchanges
than in any other locality in the
state and full opportunity will
therefore be afforded these inter-
ests to be present.
'"The voluminous records of the
commission pertaining to this case
are at its principal office at the
state house and the matter can be
handled at Salem not only more
efficiently and expeditiously but
with far less expense to the state
than elsewhere"
While the commission has not
definitely determined to hold ma
ior hearings at Salem hereafter
it is expected that the telephone
rate rehearing will set precedent
which will be pretty closely fol
| lowed in the future.

Pickers In
Dem a1ldfor
Growers Facing Light
Labor Situation, Can
neries Demanding
More Help

Berry growers and canneries
are again facing stringent labor
problem. Pickers are in demand
by loganberry growers, and can
neries are calling for more women
to help handle the remainder of
the cherry crop.
Judge Earl Race, head of tae
city employment bureau, has had
more demands for pickers today
than at any other time during the
season and has orders for over two
hundred. One grower, near
Brooks, stated that he could take
care of all pickers.
The Commercial club has also
received orders for about ESQ PICK
ers needed at once in the berry
fields Just outside the city.
"'If the people don't come to the
rescue at once stated T. e. Nc
Crcskey, secretary of the CONNER
cial club, ut means that great
part of the largest loganbefry
crop Marion county has ever had
will go to waste"
Pickers are also needed around
west of Turner in the Goldendale
district, according to S. H. Van
Trump, county agricultural agent,
who just returned from there this
morning.
At the present price of 1 " and
u cents a pound, it has been es-
timated that one picker who sticke
to the work can average between
$3.50 and IS day.
The canneries due to the logan.
berry and cherry season coming
close together are crying for more
help to stem, pit and take care Of
the cherries. The Producers Co
operative Canning & Packing conf
pany are in need of so more WON

Washington, July 7.-Presi-
dent Harding plans to address
congress in a formal way soon,
probably by special message, on
the subject of the soldiers bonus
legislation and also the tariff and
tax bills.
During an unannounced visit
today to the capitol, the president
was understood to have told SEN
ators that he would supplement-
his conferences today with a
message on the bonus legislation.
The president was quoted as fav-
oring such legislation but the
question of it's immediate enact
ment or deferrment temporarily
to expedite the fiscal legislation
for which the extra session of con
gress was called was said to be
in his mind.
Opposes Bonus Now
President Harding was said tC
have told senators that while he
favored bonus legislation, he felt
like Secretary Mellon that now
was not the time for it's enact
ment. The president was said tc

Beetle Hurts PuIp Industry.

A graygreen beetle has much to do
with the present shortage OF paper.
The beetle Is the adult form Of the as
pen borer, a grub which often destroys
whole plantations of the trees that are
so essential to the pulp industry.
The beetle gnaws slot in the bark
and deposits one or two eggs therein.
From these eggs come the trouble
making grubs that gnaw into the heart
and sapwood and so riddle the tree
that the arst strong wind snaps the
weakened timber. ---ss'ssS-ssSsES-
