CHECK PROPOSED
ON OYSTER PRICES
Growers Meeting in New
York Seeks Code to Pre-
vent Profiteering.
BY the Associated Press.

by tne Associated PreSS.
NEW YORK, August 3-Control of
retail prices in the oyster-growing in
dustry to prevent profiteering under
provisions of national industrial code
was the aim of oyster growers Of the
United States meeting here in conven-
ton today.
A code of operation and fair compe-
tition already has been drawn up and
will be submitted today or tomorrow
to the oyster men, members of the Ma
tional Shell Fisheries Association and
the Oyster Growers and Dealers Asso-
citation of North America, Inc.
Wage schedules and working hours
agreed upon at the present meeting will
effect more than 10000 men who will
be empolyed by the industry at the
opening of the oyster season, Septem-
Der l. according to an estimate by w.
H. Raye, president of Bluepoints, Inc.
The tentative code. drawn up by H.
Gordon Sweet of New Haven, Conn,
does not provide for retail price control.
This feature of the proposed code,
however, will We insisted upon by mem
bers of the two associations to protect
Ilie uuuStTy ITom pTOuCeerlng.
Harold F. Turner. representative of
all the commercial fisheries, explained
that growers already have smoothed out
competitive differences among them SO
as to take care of the price spread for
the retailer.
"The fear seems to be that the re-
taller will feel it necessary to raise
prices" he said.
Growers want to keep them down
and encourage consumption to as great
an extent as possible"
The proposed code provides mini
mum wage of 80 cents an hour for
labor with the exception of shuckers,
who would be paid ~ cents per liquid
quart of opened oyster meats, or 20
cents per gallon If payment is based
on dry measure.
Employers would agree, in matter Of
hours, to an eight-day and maximum
working week Of A hours. Boatmen
and watchmen are excepted from this
provision. An overtime period Of 10
per cent would be allowed in July, No
vember and December.

the cutters much in figuring their
costs.
Shirt Makers Confused.


Shirt manufacturers are equally con-
innate what their goods weigh In the
finished state Meanwhile they don't
know their tax outlay or how much to
assess their own customers. Fancy
shirtings for Fall are scarce and the
cutters insist that cheap shirts of a
month or so ago are quite as much out
of the picture for some time to come
as the 50-cent cotton dress.
Cotton thread prices today are up an
average of cents pound as result
of the new labor costs and the pro-
cessing tax. Sheets and numerous other
items are being advanced by the min
ute to bring them into line with new
costs
If the cotton textiles trades and their
afhliates seem confused over these new
conditions. matters must be much worse
in other lines, for the Cotton Textile
Institute and the Association of Cotton
Textile Merchants are two of the better
trade associations in this country and
have done much in recent years to edu-
cate their members in cost accounting,
statistical collection and research.
Meanwhile the new order of things
threatens to halt temporarily the many
new uses being found for cotton. Re
Gently, for instance, there was devel-
oped cotton mesh bag for the packing
Of citrus fruits. Feeling the pinch Of
Florida competition, California orange
growers decided to market their fruit
in a new way They utilized cotton
mesh bags, putting them up in lots Of
Z and 10 pounds. but soon found out
that there were no railroad rates for
such packing. The carriers have a rate
only for oranges shipped in crates.
Compelled to Use Ships.
The California growers therefore were
compelled to ship their oranges by boat
through the Panama Canal to New
York. En- route the fruit is not frozen,
but put in ventilated holds, where neces-
sary equipment is available for the
oranges to work off the carbon dioxide
they develop in transit
Within the last four weeks 10000
crates Of oranges have thus been
shipped into New York, load of 5000
cases arriving today. Landed in Jersey
City, they are brought to huge rail-
road terminal warehouse, where every
orange is inspected and the rejects"
thrown out before the rest are ma
bags, which are then packed in crates
and put directly on the huge trucks of
national grocery chain for immediate
distribution.
This new idea of orange packing, ar
ranged in five packing units capable of
handling the equivalent Of 80 carloads
Of fruit daily, will furnish employment
to more than 800 people when it reaches
full stride. These oranges have the
advantage Of cheaper transportation
rates, and, because they are specially
selected just before being put on the
retail market, should contain no culls. If
such bags out Of line with paper or
some other material, the fruit will be
packed in the lowest cost material.
Other new cotton uses similarly await
cost adjustments.

CHANGES STARTED
BY COTTON TRADE
Agents and Jobbers Tackle
Sales Problem Under
Process Taxes.
BY JOHN A. CRONE.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
NEW YORK, August 3-The cotton
goods district today, for the first time
this week, was able seriously to tackle
the job of selling goods under the new
conditions imposed by the processing
taxes.
The task of figuring cotton goods
poundage, not to mention the many
attempts made to reach the cotton
content of some goods, for the purpose
of ascertaining process taxes, took up
a good deal of time Monday and Tues
day, so much so that some Worth
street merchants. mill agents, jobbers,
factors and brokers simply closed up
those two days.
Then there have been all sorts Of
meetings to attend-some to reach price
differential agreements others to work
out details of the industrial codes and
many to iron out difnculties that have
cropped up with the mills, which now
are in their third week of operation
under the national industrial recovery
act.
Scale and tabulating companies in
the textile district did a big business
the last two weeks in renting and SELL
ing machines, for these process tax
tasks for the most part were too large
and too complicated to be done merely
by clerks.
Steady Market Helps.
The steady tone of the cotton mar
ket itself, however, lent some assist
ance, because a good part OF the
previous fortnight the fluctuations in
the raw commodity created confusion
for every manufacturer.
Cotton merchants here are consider
ing closing on Saturdays the year round
and thus bringing their clerical forces
under the provisions Of the recovery
act. Meanwhile merchants are so busy
trying to figure out the two sets Of gray
goods prices, why converters agreed to
bill the processing tax separately,
whether there wiD be a revival OF buy
ing interests later in the month,
whether cutters and retailers are well
covered and how the new price in
creases from the combination OF the
recovery act and the processing taxes
will be absorbed, that they wish for
more, rather than fewer. business hours.
Up in the dress manufacturing dis
trict they are asserting that the two
for-$1 cotton dresses are through and
they believe that the 81 cotton dress
may be impossible. Just now 64x60
percales are being used in the latter
instead Of the 80-square percales. New
percale prices are expected to be an
nounecd today, which fact won't help

Mississippi and the Sierra Nevadas.
1t remained for the gold miners and
the 49'ers, however, to break the trail
to California and to make the journey
sufficiently direct and commonplace
for the settlers to follow
The infiltration of these lands was
gradual. More often than not it was
just the moving on of restless people
from one state to another farther west
than a great exodus into the wilds
which settled what is now called the
West. Land grants and gold were the
lures which overcame the natural fear
and trepidation of the usually cautious
frOntiersman.
Resourcefullness was the keystone of
the pioneer character. Without it and
an inherent strength he was lost Water
for their families and their livestock
was ever their greatest concern. Given
water they could and did adapt them
selves to almost any circumstances.
Railroads deserve the title of "the
pioneer industry of the west" Their
worth and the services they rendered
in tine settling of a new country can
never be decried. It is interesting to
know that Isaac Stevens, first governor
of this state, surveyed the line for the
Northern Pacific.
At the conclusion of Mrs. Meeks' talk,
Mrs. E. F. Newton read an article on
the cowboy songs with which we are
all familiar; the manner in which they
are composed and the ways in which
they were spread about and made
known throughout the country. She
read number of the songs while Mrs.
Edmund Anderson served tea.

Re Decorating of Homes
Needed in Fall of Year

Fall is an excellent time for the
housewife to take an inventory of the
home and lay plans to brighten the
rooms for the long winter months
ahead, in the opinion of Gladys Gal
lup, extension home management spe-
cialist, Washington State College.
Nothing brings out the dingy appear
aflce of a room more than the winter
season, and a feeling of space combined
with pleasing appearance keeps
everyone in a happier mood.
If room seems dark, the color of
the walls may be lightened. This may
mean new wallpaper, calcomine, or
paint, depending on the present finish
A wall finish with an inconspicuous
design does much to add to the ap-
parent size of small room. If plain
color is used, one of the cool colors
like rose gray, soft green or tan
should be used because these shades
are receding in hue.
A low room can be made to appear
higher by using light ceiling or a
wall finish which carries the eye up
and down rather than around the
room. If a molding is used, it should
be placed along the juncture of ceiling
and wall and it's color should be light.
Wide, low windows in low-celing rooms
should not have valance. Too strong
contrast between walls and draperies
often causes room to look smaller.
The simpler the treatment of win
dows with draperies Or curtains, the
greater will be the feeling of space in
the room.
If woodwork is of good color and
grain, it can be given soft, dull finish
of wax or dull varnish The floor
should be of dark tone but should
blend in with other furnishings. I'm
necessary pieces of furniture should
be removed and others grouped &C
cording to their use. Large pieces
should be placed parallel with the walls
or opposite a group Of windows.

The fifth and sixth grades came over
Friday, the boys to play football and
the girls to play volley and baseball.
The score of the boys game was 60
in favor of the upper grade boys. The
Girls games came out as follows: volley
ball, 1874 in favor of the Junior high;
6-3 in baseball, also in favor of the 7th
and 9th grades This was merely a
game of practice to acquaint the
younger boys with football, but there
will be something to look forward to in
the future when the games become
more familiar to the younger group.

HOPE FOR THE FARMER

The bureau of agricultural economics,
United States department. of agricul-
ture, gives some reasons why farm
products of all kinds will not only
share in the general rise of commod-
ity prices, but will lead that rise dur.
ing the next few months. One of the
principal reasons for this optimism is
the small crops Of wheat corn. oats,
hay, potatoes, apples, citrus fruits and
other foods and vegetables
Figures are quoted to show the rising
tendency Of various farm crop prices,
notably apples and potatoes. The av-
erage price per bushel of apples paid
to the grower reached a low mark of
80 cents bushel on March of this
year, being the lowest price that had
been recorded since 1914 when price
statistics were first collected by the
government. BY April is this average
had risen to 60 cents. June Is it had
gone to 70 cents and on September
it stood at 80 cents, but now it has
declined to rs cents. However, this is
nearly double the prevailing price last
March. This average price means what
growers obtain in the local warehouse
for all kinds and varieties of apples.
One year ago the average price for
apples in Washington and Oregon was
so cents box, two years ago it was
10 cents; three years ago 96 cents and
four years ago. in 1929, it was $1.35 per
box. The potato price in Oregon and
Washington has increased in like pro-
portions, rising from 80 cents bushel
in March of this year to IS cents a
bushel on October l. However, in the
meantime, potatoes went up to 81 a
bushel July Is, and then dropped off
as the new crop came into the market.
The index number OF fruits and veg
etables is now up to par, which means
that all fruits and vegetables sell at
as high prices as they did for the
five years preceding July, 1914. This is
the only class of farm products that
has come back to the pre-War level,
the average of all groups being 10 per
cent.
All economists, financial authorities
and business observers agree that there
can be no return of stable and per-
manent prosperity in this country un-
til the farmer is restored to solvent
position. Various plans have been pro-
posed to bring about relief for the
farmer.
Senator Borah pins his faith on sill
yer, while many other members of the
senate declare that imitation is the
only answer.
