Publishers Study Code
For Printing Industry

The responsibility of proving that
industry can govern itself under the
codes rests upon the graphic arts in
dustry, publishers of the Yakima valley
were told by Fred w. Kennedy, state
administrator of the code for the
weekly and small daily newspaper dl-
vision, at Sunnyside Friday.
"The graphic arts code is the only
one signed by the President which
leaves the administration wholly to
the industry There is no labor board,
and no government authority, as there
is in all other codes signed. While the
President expressed his disapproval OF
several sections, such as the employ
ment of boys in selling newspapers,
and hour and wage provisions, he
praised the government feature OF
the CODE" Mr.. Kennedy said.
The code went into effect Monday
March &c, although most plants have
been operating under provisions OF the
code for some time.
Among the provisions Of the code are
that no advertising shall be sold below
| COSJ, dlJIlOuBL q olIlBAC ioouS VI AA1
newspaper may be sold below cost
and that all printing shall be sold al
prices based on a schedule OF fall
value.
Minimum wages for the various
classes of employees In the newspaper
business have been established, as vel
as maximum hours. Sections OF tn
code referring to these requirement
must be posted in each shop.
Each plant is likewise required q
install a uniform system OF account
ing and cost finding
While business practices in man
cases will have to be revised, 1t is no
expected that costs will increase, no
that relationships between a newspa
per and its readers or advertisers wi
| change, to any appreciable extent.
Mr.. Kennedy told the publisher
representing establishments from CT
Elum to Waitsburg, that the printin
industry has climbed in the last twer
ty years from position next to til
very bottom of the industrial laddt
;, to a place where its total volume
business is fifth in this nation.

Soft Fruit Crop Is
Damaged By Freeze

A drop in temperature to 20 degrees
Friday night brought a heavy freeze
to the Priest Rapids valley, doing UNI
determined damage to the fruit crops,
Other fruit growing sections of the
Northwest were likewise hit.
Inspection of a number of orchards
Saturday indicated that the peach and
apricot crop would be nearly a total
loss, with cherries and some early ap-
pies heavily damaged. Within the past
few days, however, many of the grow
ers who had earlier reported a total
loss, found many unchanged blooms,
and the opinion now is that there Will
be from Is to Is per cent of a CROP
! in the soft fruits.

Brockway Talk
At Grange Hall
GRANGE DEPUTY DISCUSSES AC-
COMPLIsHMENTs OF 81
YEARS

Discussing the accomplishments OF
the Grange, F. P. Waters of Spokane,
national Grange deputy, addressed
meetings at the White Bluffs Grange
hall Monday evening and at the Han
ford Grange hall Tuesday.
Mr.. Waters stated that the present
farm situation should not be allowed
to last much longer. Growers, he said,
are not receiving the cost OF produc-
ton for their crops. The only remedy
is for them to unite and work col
lectively
The Grange is the oldest farm or
ganization in existence, Mr.. Waters
told his listeners, having been organ
lied in 1869 in New York state, and
having outlived three or four other
farm groups. There are now approx
imately 100000 members in the
Grange in 33 states, $4,000 OF these
belonging to Washington Oranges.
In discussing some of the accom-
plishments of the Grange, Mr. Waters
told of the fight to secure the inter-
state commerce law, under which rail-
road rates are set. Other notable
achievements of the organization, he
declared, are the parcel post service,
the rural free delivery of mail, the
election of United States senators by
the voters rather than the legislatures
the use of the Australian ballot at
elections, and the direct primary.
Among the measures endorsed 10y
the Grange, and to be voted on al
coming elections are the state insur-
ance of public buildings, state in
come tax law, and the adoption O
blanket primary ballot.
Declaring the need for state frul
growers code, A. l.. BrockWay, Whf
also addressed the gatherings, told O.
the results his committee has secured
from Investigations of sales reports or
the 1888 apple shipments.
Brockway cited instances of grower
not only receiving nothing for thel
fruit, but having to pay the handler
for taking care of their product Il
tabulating the returns from IS car
of fruit, one car sold for a little owe
the minimum price set by the frul
code, and three sold at little beloN
code price.
In a letter from state Secretary c
Agriculture w. j. Robinson to MI
Brockway, it was urged that the grow
ers form national growers code rathe
than a state code. However, M
Brockway said, it would be easier
form the state code first. II this
done, Oregon and Idaho growers WI
also formulate a code, it is believe
and this in turn will lead to the TO-
nation of national code. Direct'
Robinson has expressed himself as b.
ing in sympathy with the growers
they wish to form the state code,
was said.
At the Hanford meeting, j.
Swayze of Kennewick addressed II
gathering with discussion OF the ga
cline price situation.
