APPLE MARKET
IN BAD SHAPE;
STRIKE CAUSE

Thousands Of boxes OF william
cite valley apples. which find
their principal market in the east
ern states and in Europe normal
ly may not even be picked this
year, and the much maligned rail-
road strike Is to blame.
Growers and dealers alike re-
port the market for apples com
pletely demora1ized, and can see
no prospect of improvement until
shipping conditions return to nor
NAL. Eastern and foreign buyers
have withdrawn entirely from the
market and not II single deal in
apples in any quSntity has been
reported in the past three weeks.
Some eastern buyers are even re-
fusing to buy on consignment.
So serious has the situation be-
come that the Oregon Growers CO.
operative association is reported
to have released some OF their
growers from their con
tracts, and are allowing them to
sell their apples to their neigh
bors, or wherever they can dis
pose of them.

Barrage of Propaganda
To Create Impression
F.O.P.S. has Been Purg-
ed of Taint of KIuxisin.
By Harry N. Grain.

Behind a barrage of propagan-
da, designed to create the public
impression that they have purged
their organization OF any taint OF
Ku Kluxism, the Federated Pa
triotic Societies OF Oregon are
quietly reorganizing their politi5
cal forces for the general election
campaign. In every section OF the
state organizers are busy, quietly
spreading the word that the de-
feat of Governor Ben w. Olcott,
declared enemy OF the Ku Klux
Klan, is to be the paramount con-
Germ of the federated patriots be-
tween now and November.
Meanwhile, outside of the or
ganization, they are making a
desperate effort to eliminate the
khan issue and hold Governor Oh
cott up as champion of the
Catholics rather than an enemy OF
invisible government" To their
contemplated program the taint of
Ku Kluxfsm would be fatal.
Klan a Liability.
Fully aware of the disrepute
into which the khan and its pro-
gram has been steadily falling by
reason of the Jackson county In
dictments, the expose of the far
cical nature OF the proceedings to-
recount Charles Hall into the GU
bernatorial nomination, and the
discovery of fraud tactics to favor
Ku Klux candidates in precinct
2O1, Portland, the Ku Klux pa
triotic societies now recognize
that their affiliation with the
nightshirted gentry is a liability
rather than an asset, that their
political endorsement, unless pub
licly fumigated, will carry with
them stigma almost sure to be-
fatal to the candidate endorsed.
Hence, the rumors, reports and
whisperings that recently have
