On Prices
Japanese and Chinese
Vegetables Growers
Fail to Drop Price of
Fresh Produce

A yellow combine" is holding
up the price of local fresh vege,
tables on the Salem markets. Wal
prices still prevail here, though in
other centers new vegetables are
selling for half the price of last
season.
At present local retailers are
paying 80 cents a dozen to Chi
nese and japanese gardners for all
punched vegetables such as new
beets, new carrots, head lettuce
and onions. Before the war the
price was 40 cents dozen for the
same produce and the punches
were larger.
The retail price for these vege-
tables is 10 cents bunch or three
for quarter. Before the war it
was 5 cents or six for a quarter.
An exact count of the number of
new beets as large in circumfer-
ence as half dollar and one-quar-
ter inch thick, reveal that the
housewife pays one and two-thirds
cents for each little beet.
The punches of new carrots on
the market contain all the way
from nine to thirteen so it is
matter of chance whether the buy
- gets enough for a light lunch
ror two in making a double pur-
chase.
The prices of all staples have
come down within the last few
months, and in some cases have
reached pre-war level. Sugar,
flour, eggs, butter, are selling far
below last years prices.
Housewives in Portland are pay
ing just half for the same punched
vegetables that Salem people are
to pay. The price of beets
there is 5 cents per bunch and the
same is true with new carrots.
The labor cost of the Japanese
vegetable combination is no great
er now than it has been. Their
land taxes may be higher, but not
enough to warrant the 100 percent
higher price here over other
places.
Due to the failure of the white
to be consistently on the
Job, retailers state that they are
'orced to meet the demands of the
Japanese gardeners in order that
heir trade might be always sup
'lied with fresh vegetables in sea-
on.

the operation of the antitrust
law, and La Follette's seamen's
llaw."
So speaks the voice Of Wall
street, and continually thereafter,
their guns have been pounding
away at labor.
Their echoes through the At
terbury's supported by subsi-
dized press and full assurance
by a subsidized congress that
the nations bayonets are avail
able at their command. they
have carried on a relentless war
fare upon organized labor, a
campaign of abuse and villifi-
cation, picturing labor as disloy-
al, inefficient and in effect, a
menace to society.
The public is being deceived,
their opinion moulded in favor
of the captains of reaction. An
army of two million railway en-
ployes stands defeated; by
stroke of the pen, their contracts
and working agreements have
been whipped to smithereens and
their wages reduced.
Wall Street, like the conquer
ors of II, with a commanding
voice says "Sign here" But while
this is being done, shoulder
ing spirit of resentment and dis
gust is silently lodged within the
hearts of these employees which
will be a factor to be dealt with
for many years-and future
voices will again be heard, "Is
war profitable?"
