lb THE 3I0RNIXG OREGONIAN, TUESDAY, DECEMBER 10, 1907. LAW TO REGULATE HIRING OF LABOR Brought Before Council and Attacked by Employment Agencies of City. MEASURE IS HELD OVER Interested Agents Appear at Com mittee Meeting to Object to Pass age of Measure Regulating Tlieir Business. Portland employment offices can run along for at least two weeks under exist ing conditions, for at a meeting of the license committee of the City Council yes terday afternoon a proposed ordinance, drawn by Assistant City Attorney Grant, at the solicitation of Councilman Dun Ing, went over without recommendation until the next regulur session of the com mittee. This was largely because the In terest objects of the measure were on hand with a vigorous protest and a substitute law. It was to give opportu nity for the consideration of the latter that further time was taken. Enough was disclosed at the meeting yesterday to show that the employment agents In this city have been reaping a veritable harvest, and although they cried out loudly against the proposed ordi nance, which raises their licenses from J60 to $200 a year, no one on the com mittee evidenced any sympathy whatever toward the weeping job-furnishers. Charles R. Hansen, proprietor of one of the largest employment offices in the city, was the chief figure in opposition to the proposed ordinance. In addition to speak ing several times, he was represented by Lawyer "W'attrous, through whom Han sen introduced a little ordinance of his own which, he said, "is equitable and Just to both parties." This -was accepted by the committee for the purpose of giv ing Assistant City Attorney Grant time in which to peruse it and to make a report at the next meeting of the committee, two weeks hence. There is a crying need for strict legis lation regulating employment agents, ac cording to Chief of Police Gritzmacher, City Atttorney Kavanaugh and Mayor Lane, as well as many other officials, who have come Into contact with the problem. Literal armies of men find their way to the police station, to the office of the City Attorney and to the Mayor's office, having complaints to lodge against this or that agency. AH manner of shrewd tricks are said to be worked by these agents, who send poor and helpless workmen out to positions, many of which exist only In the fancy of fee-devouring agents. Reaping a Rich Harvest. When several employment agents had cpoken at the meeting, declaring that. In case their licenses are increased to $200 a year, they would be driven out of busi ness, Councilman Dunning arose to say such was not the case; that he has proof to show that the business of sending out men Is one of the best paying in the city and that some men are making for tunes out of It; that he knows to a cer tainty and is prepared to prove that one agent sent SO men out in one day, re ceiving $5 from each. Mr. Dunnlng's statement brought for vociferous denials from various employ ment agents, but he again arose and of fered to bring his proof. This challenge was not accepted. Every one who cared to speak on the proposed ordinance was allowed to do so, and after all had finished, the matter was put over for two weeks, at which time Assistant City Attorney Grant will make his report on the additional ordi nance drafted for the employment agents. Requirements of Ordinance. The Dunning ordinance is a strong one, and It is the general belief that it will pass almost in Jts entirety, if not as a whole. It provides that every employ men agent shall deposit a bond of $1000 and that he shall pay a license of $200 a year, instead of $60, as now. This Is for general employment agents. Any who may engage only in furnishing positions to women are to be taxed $25 a year. One of the strongest points is a clause which prohibits the practice of employ ment agents sharing fees with employ ers. Against this provision the agents who were present yesterday spoke most bitterly. They declared this to be "un fair," and said it should not pass; that the ordinance not only regulated their business, saying how much they may charge, but that it was sought also to say what they must do with the money. It was plain, the members of the committee said, that herein the employment agents make much of their money. It is said by the officials to be a common practice of employment agents to send out hun dreds of men to various places with the understanding with each employer that after about 10 days he is to discharge the men. so that others may be sent to take their places. This Is one of the Iniquitous features of the business sought to be remedied by Mr. Dunnlng's ordinance. In the ordinance drafted by Lawyer W'attrous. on behalf of Charles R. Han sen, all clauses that are objectionable in the other proposed measure are elimi nated and everything is in favor of the employment agent, according to Assistant City Attorney Grant, who Is Investigating the matter. WOMEN AS SEX CRITICS Hawthorne's "Heater Prynne" Type Critically Considered. PORTLAND. Dec. 9. (To the Editor. I do not consider it my bounden duty to answer every article in The Oregonian tht docs not reHect my sentiments, and. indeed, I do not think It In Rood taste often to call In question an editorial utterance. But when sweeping statements are made reflecting- not on one woman, but on women at large, as was done In an editorial in yesterday's Ore Konlan entitled, "Woman's Judgment of "Woman." 1 can but ask to be brtelly heard In woman's defense. The particular statement to which I refer is "that women are the most ungenerous Judges of women who commit the social sin Is a fact beyond dispute." The case under discussion was that of Mrs. Bradley. That some women are harsh In their judgment of such a woman is undoubtedly true. It is alao true that some men are ready to hurl anathemas at such as she Is. Allow me to say that 1 know women more than tolerably well, and It Is not true that women are generally harsh In their judgment or women who have erred In the way that brings to them the greatest Injury, because of Its far reaching effects. There Is a great army of women who will be as ready as myself to dispute The Oregonlan's statement. Indeed, the best friends of such women are to be found among her own sex. it Is not a woman's habit to announce from the house tops her unselfish efforts to. befriend such as these, as Buch announcement would defeat Its own end. There are scores of women living happy lives In the City of Portland who could bear testimony to the friendship and encouragement of good women, when they the sinners were unahle to forgive themselves- for their sin. There are scores that have been able to grasp the willingness of God to forgive, because they have, as a close friend a woman who has so far for given that she has seemed to forget. , That a woman la woman's worst enemy lp the case of the social sin. is not true. It Is not alone in Institutional work but in that most effective and sometimes hardest work, a hand clasp, an Individual friendship that gives courage to the weak woman, holds her when she Is about to slip, restores her self respect and gives her confidence in her own power to stand, that women may be truth fully said to befriend the woman who has made a mistake. Indeed It Is so well known to us that a woman seldom falls unless she has been tempted almost beyond human en durance, that we could not well be other than tender and Ivelpful. In the case of Mrs. Bradley, I have personally discussed her .ase with scores of women In all walks in life and not alone the woman who is in re form work, and I have yet to find one woman who had other than words of the tenderest sympathy for a woman. who, though weak at some time, was undoubtedly more sinned against than sinning. Had It been a woman Jury. I doubt if it would have taken as long to reach an acquittal as It did for the Jury of men. ' The pregonlan's allusion to Hawthorne's "Scarlet Letter" as a proof of the state ment made, is not particularly convincing, .s the author has not given-ua historic facts, but has put the sentiments in the mouths of the women he has made. That women of that time were nearer to that overdrawn type is probably true. In that olden time women had not reamed to think for them selves, and their opinions were but the re flections of the opinions around them. In these later days, thanks to the much-talked-of-agalnst club movement, that has brought women near together, the enlarged vision that has come to woman through wider study and reading, the conviction that she has an inherited right to think for herself, has changed her horizon. And whatever the woman of that time might have done, the story is not at all a fair reflection of the woman's attitude today. I would call atten tion, however, to the fact that Hester Prynae's tempter to her wrong doing was a man, that her Judges were men. that the laws under which she was condemned to that cruel punishment were made by men and that those who led her to the public place to be a hissing for the populace were men. In the face of this, it at the least ill becomes men to hold up the two or three women of that story as Hester Prynne'a enemies. I am glad that there is not only an oc casional one but a great many women who are not only ready to say, "Let the erring one cover the marks of the adulteress as will the pang of It always will be in her heart." but are ready to stand bravely by her as she retrieves her mistake. ' I the more regret such articles as the one to which this Is an answer, as the tendency of such is to cut off a class who need true friends more than any other human beings, from the very best friends they have. There can be nothing that would arouse the tenderness of a true woman's heart more than the need of a woman who has to bear the pang of motherhood without Its bless ing and Its crown. The awakening of the mother fceart that comes to a woman with her own child, makes her to understand as no one elBe can the exquisite agony that must be a woman's portion, and who looks in her child's face and remembers that her own weakness has cut that child off from the highest privileges that she desires for it. No man can understand Mrs. Bradley's heart as a woman can, and given women lawyers. Judge and Jury, the cases of that kind would not lone; cumber the docket. ADA WALLACE The answer to this voluble and aggressive criticism of a plain state ment Is simply that the statement is true, a fact that is not more deeply re gretted by the critic than by the writer of the article in question. 'mere are women and women: women of tender sympathies and generous natures, and women who are selfrlghteous and un sympathetic when brought face to face with the problem or dealing witn an errlne woman. That there are many in the first class, the writer of this article that has so offended this correspondent, is glad to believe; that the name of the latter class is multitude is nevertheless true. It is idle to discuss this question and equally so to wax indignant over the central fact upon which it hinges. Weather Turned Cargo Into Loaf of Bread Locnl Rival of IJnron Mnnchaiixrn Telia ThrllltnK Story of Voyage Around the Horn In Storm and Heat. OW did I happen to become a 11 hotel clerk?" repeated Dan Sul livan, the nlgnt clerk of the Portland Hotel. "Well, It was this way. You know I used to be a sailor, that was where I learned about whales. In fact, I was second mate of the first iron ship that ever rounded the Horn, bound from Boston to San Francisco, loaded with flour, yeast and salt to furnish grub to the California miners, soon after the Civil War. ''We got around the Horn all right when we ran into about the worst bit of weather ever brewed on the Pacific. Iron ships were an experiment then, and we soon found ourselves in trouble. The freshwater tanks sprung a leak and the water ran down over the cargo. To make matters worse the flour barrels and boxes of yeast broke loose and with the rolling of the ship we soon had it alT mixed up together. In other words the whole ship below decks was full of dough that the rolling of the ship kneaded just as a regular bread-making machine does out In the kitchen here. And it began to rise. "We fastened down the hatches at first, but soon had to take them off on the lower decks or the expanding dough would burst the ship. And we put on all steam for San Francisco. We crossed the equator like a race horse, and there we made our second great mis take. The strain on the engines caused them to break down so we had to go at half speed and we were at a standstill for two whole days right there under a burning sun. The storm we had run out of and the weather was clear ami hot! Whew! ' "Then we got under full steam again and plowed north to the Golden Gate with a deckhand sitting on the safty valve. But we were too late. The tropic sun had baked that ship load of dough into one huge loaf of bread. How to get It out of the ship was a question. "The owners, who were the captain and one of our passengers, sold the ship just as she arrived for only half what they had paid for her new in Boston. But the new owner was a genius. He put the hungry miners to work with picks and shovels cutting out the bread and sold It at the rate of $1 a shovelful. It was the finest bread you or any one else ever ate. "I was out of a Job as second mate, and when I saw what a profit there was In that bread I just naturally went into the feeding business myself. And that's how I became associated with the hotel business. Front! Show this gentleman to the cafe." LEAGUE'S" BUSY SESSION Initiative and Referendum Meeting Has Much to Consider. Several questions concerning the or ganization of the Initiative and Refer endum League were left unsettled at the meeting of last Thursday night on the East Side. These are to be taken up at the meeting next Thursday night While the constitution was lately dis cussed by section, It was not adopted as a whole, that being left open for future action. According to the con stitution as prepared, "each and every one" is eligible to membership. Many profess to think; that membership should be confined to "citizens," which might exclude women. The question of raising revenue is also to be settled. The question of whether the league should support only those candidates for the Legislature known to be favor able to the initiative anS referendum law will likewise be considered. The league doubtless will have a busy ses sion Thursday night. Must vacate store December 31 sell ing trunks. ba?s and suit cases at a sacrifice. 231 Morrison St., near 2nd. SAILORS PAID OFF Ship Glenelvan Settles With Officers and Men. ARTICLES EXPIRE AT SEA Vessel Has Not Called at Home Port or North Atlantic for Over Three Years Pay Roll Over $7000. Mates, boatswain, sallmaker andsailora of the British ship Glenelvan, will be paid off this afternoon at the office of British Consul, James Laldlaw. The reason for the paying off of the crew is that the articles expired October 21, while the vessel was at sea and on reach ing port all hands demanded their pay. The Glenelvan has not called at a home port, or a port in the North Atlantic for more thasPthree years and as the articles read "for a round voyage, or not to ex ceed three years" the men are entitled to pay. In the crew are six men who originally signed on the ship at Liverpool. This is the first case of the kind which local mariners can call to mind. It is not an uncommon thing for the articles of a vessel to expire at sea but in the history of the Port of Portland there la not another case which can be recalled to mind where the crew of a foreign vessel was paid off here by reason of the expiration of articles. Captain Robbins will distribute among the members of the crew of the Glenelvan something like $7000. All this amount is wages and varies in sums of from $50 STEAMER LNTKI.LIGE3TCB Duo t Arrive. Kama.
