terest the public service commits
sion in the installation of track
scales in Portland, reported that

hearing on the matter, but had
not yet set date.
The purpose Of this move, Mr..
Harder, secretary, explained, was
for weighing grain under heavy
and fight loads in order to ascer-
tain the actual amount Of grain
in cars and eliminate shortage
caused by, error in unloading un-
der the present system of small
warehouse scales.
The dealers, according to the
various personal opinions express
ed at the meeting, expect a very
small crop of spring wheat and
oats, but fairly good crop of
fall wheat.
The association includes all
grain. feed, and flour dealers of
the willamette valley and has
membership of so. About 20 were
present at the meeting today.

sented the attentions he was re-
ceiving from a popular girl of

Eddie came here visiting and
promptly became popular with a
little girl. They went walking
together, they bought ice cream
together-and the girl generally
showed the home town boys that
the visitor from America was her
ideal.
Lads All Under IL.
But three boys-ail between 10

were displeased with Eddie's pop
ularity. They became frankly
jealous and got together to plan
the end of Eddie's visit and his
popularity at one stroke.
Men passing a small woods near
the town heard boys cries. They
melled smoke and rushed into the
woods. Tied to a stake with fire
eating it's way up his legs, was
Eddie Sanderson. They threw
water on his feet and rushed him
into the town.
Burns Not Serious.
Eddie at first refused to tell
what had happened. Finally he
told the story of his popularity
and said the three boys had chased

the woods and there kindled a f1re
OF paper and sticks, tied him to a
stake and, as the flames starred

P|CKERS MAY
COST BIG SUM
Half of Loganberries To
Rot on Vines Unless
Labor Famine Relieved
Declare Fruit Men.

Salem and its immediate vicin-
ity stands to lose approximately
$4S0,000 unless more loganberry
pickers may be obtained i'm
mediately. No less than $4,000 of
this is to be lost by the pickers
themselves. These figures, ar
rived at by prominent Marion
fruit authorities this afternoon,
have to do with the loganberry
crop alone.
Situation Serious
The situation is grave, fruit
men declared this afternoon. More
pickers must be had. The logan
berry crop is looking up'-that
is, will be better than they
originally believed. But about
half Of it is to rot on the vines
unless there is an immediate
response to the cries for help that
have thus far gone unheeded.
There are, approximately, 49,
100000 pounds Of loganberries in
the vicinity of Salem. The entire
crop, If harvested and put in cans
or barrels, would bring to Salem
no less than eight cents pound
a total of 100000.
Growers Are Helpless
Unless pickers are fond-and
found soon-Salem bids fair to
lose nearly half of this crop, or
nearly half million dollars.
The growers are helpless. The
matter rests with those persons
who can find time to help. Those
crews which are at present work.
ing are in the fields long hours
both week days and Sundays.
Growers are receiving from 8 "a
to 4 cents pound for their ber-
ries. Figuring their average price
at 81 cents, they would receive,
II the entire crop were harvested,
approximately $450,O00. If there
is but half a crop taken from the
vines they will lost $225,000.
A lost half-crop, at "A cents a
pound, would mean loss of $4,000
to the pickers.
Short Season Blamed.
This years critical situation,
fruit men explained, was precipi-
tated by the long spell of warm,
dry weather which brought vir-
tually the entire loganberry crop
to the picking stage at once. The
season this year will last no more
than two weeks while, ordinarily,
it has covered months time.
Fruit men expressed the belief
today that no difficulty will be
experienced in handing the black
berry crop of which, they esti-
mated, there will be about 6,O0O,-
900 pounds.
The raspberry crop, It was said,
will be very small and will cause
growers no worry.

RAIL STRIKE.
is STRUGGLE
Of ENDURANCE.
Hooper Firm In Stand
that Shopmen Have Out
lawed Selves; Jewell
Demands Fair Play.

Chicago, July 8.-The Chicago,
Burlington & Quincy railroad this
afternoon sought to obtain fed
eral injunction restraining strik-
ing employees from interfering
with the operation Of its shops.
Chicago, July 8.-With the
dawn Of the second week of the
shopmen's strike, both sides Of the
controversy prepared for an en-
durance struggle.
Chairman Hooper of the labor
board stood firmly in his position
that the strikers has outlawed
themselves and B. M. Jewell, head
of the shop crafts union, showed
no signs of changing his position.
"If the board has shut the
door on the strikers, the RESPONSE
bility belongs to the board said
Mr.. Jewell when shown press re-
ports of Mr.. Hooper's statement.
"All we want is square deal and
VIC are 6O1h6 " 6cb lI
Few Roads "Slow Up"
A few railroads reported a
slowing upn Of their service, due
to the strike. Officials of the
Santa Fe reported that only 35
per cent of their normal shop force
of $4,000 is on the job but that
there has been no interruption of
service due, they say, to the fact
some of the strikers are returning
and men are being hired to take
the places of those who have left.
Reports from the Baltimore &
Ohio indicate nearly 10000 men
are out and there has been some
interruption of service. At the
Chicago and Alton shops, where
it is admitted practically every
man laid down his tools, service
was said to be slightly affected
and officials predicted it would
become worse. No great effort
is being made to fill vacancies, Of
ficials said, because of the lack of
proper protection.
Test Comes Monday
A large number of the class one
railroads have served notice on
the striking shopmen that unless
they return to work by Monday,
July 10, they will forfeit all
seniority rights and privileges.
While many roads have reported
some of their employees were re-
naming on duty, railroad officials
expect the critical test to come on
Monday.
