TITE MORNINGr OREGONTAN, WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER 12, 1913. BAN ON NIGHT WORK BY WOMEN OPPOSED State-Wide Meeting Hears Protests Against Any Ruling on Hours. MANY INTERESTS ARE HIT Country Merchants, IVuitgrowers, AYlre Companies and Telephone Girls Join In Appeal to the Commission. Troupe, headline act at the Empress, which is touring- the Sullivan & Con sldine circuit under his management. When Tom Tracy was in the heyday of his pug-ilistio career Mr. Donegan was the owner of the Lyceum Athletic Hall, of Melbourne, and It was in that gymnasium that Tracy became a schooled boxer. Mr. Donegan was timekeeper for the ring battle in which Tommy Williams was defeated by Tracy. Dan Creedon, Paddy Slavln. Jim Hall, Young Griffo, Bob Fitzslmroons and many other famous pugilists were contestants in boxing matches pro moted by Mr. Donegan in Melbourne and many athletes, who have broken records, received their first training from him. In 1874 Donegan became the cham pion pole-vaulter of Australia, his jump being 10 feet, 10 inches. This mark remained the record for many years. Nellie Donegan, a daughter of the old-time Australian athlete, has been proclaimed as the world's greatest roller Bkater, and his son Jimmle, In the act at the Empress, broke several bicycle, running and Jumping records in England. Mr. Donegan, now past his 60th year, is hale and hearty. He goes through a. routine of athletic exercises daily. HOLDEN IS HEBE TODAY Decided opposition to any ruling of the Industrial Welfare Commission that will prohibit women working after 6 P. M. Saturday developed at a meeting of the state-wide conference, at ths Public Library last night to consider the hours, wages and working condi tions of women and minors. The meet ing was an adjourned session of the conference called by the Commission. The fruitgrowing, canning and pack ing Interests of the Willamette Valley protested that, owing to the nature of the industry, any regulation or restric tion of hours of labor will result in serious loss to those who have their money invested in orchards and plants 3iandling orchard products. Merchants of LaGrande, Salem, Hood River, Roseburg and Eugene protested against such a ruling affecting them as has been made concerning Portland stores, prohibiting Saturday night work lor women. Protests were heard from the Pacific Telephone & Telegraph Company, of Portland; the Home Telephone Com pany, of Medford, and the Western Union Telegraph Company against any Tuling that will prevent night work for girls and women. It was urged that the telephone business Is peculiar in that it requires continuous service and that for temperamental reasons it is Impossible to dispense with the services of girls as operators. ; Mrs. Ida Stewart, the night chief perator for the Pacific company at Kellwood. told the conference that she nad been employed in that capacity flsr eight years, that Bhe is satisfied with ier work and wages and that she does not know a night operator who is not. "It would be an injustice to make a ruling that would prevent our working nights," said Mrs. Stewart. "I get all the sleep I need in the daytime, and find time to do my housework and sew ing. Sometimes I sleep only six or seven hours, and find it sufficient, but even at that I get as much sleep as some people who work days and go out nights." The objection of the country mer chants was crystallized in a protest against a ruling preventing Saturday night work. Other Ruling" Accepted. Nearly all the representatives of country mercantile associations ex pressed themselves as satisfied with the rulings of the Commission on alt other points, but they argued that it would be unjust to them and to the buying publio it they were compelled to close before 9 IJ. M. Saturday. Gideon Stoltr, of the Gideon Stoltz Company, of Salem, canners and bot tlers, told of a meeting held there No vember 5. attended by representatives of the fruit and canning interests of the Willamette Valley, at which a me morial was adopted asking the Com mission to exempt the fruit and vege table industry from any state-wide rul ing limiting hours or fixing wages. The memorial aslcs for a special con ference, if any at all is to be held on the industry. 'The Commission has undertaken a pretty biff Job in attempting to frame a new commandment," said Mr. Stoltz. "In which it shall say 'Thou shalf or Thou shalt not." "It strikes me," he continued, "that If our civilization had produced a race that would obey the commandments already given it, there would be no occasion for the Commission to frame a new one." '. " 'Love thy neighbors as thyself would seem to cover the entire case, or, possibly, 'Six days shalt thou labor" would cover a specific point. I have never heard a preacher emphasize any thing but the Sabbath-keeping part of this commandment." Fruit Industry Might Be Ruined. Mr. Stoltz advanced the argument hat to limit the hours of labor for workers in the fruit industry to eight hours out of 24 might mean the ruina tton, of the industry In the Willamette Valley. "I don't object to calling eight hours a day for a woman, naid Anna Pitt man, a hotel employe, "but I do object to telling her when oho shall put it in. If you make such a ruling in this state, I. for one, will seeV work in some other state. "Besides," she went on. emphatically, lf this law is not enforced any better than the labor laws you have already, tt won't make much difference what rulings you make." Then she told of an unsuccessful at tempt to collect wages due her through the medium of the State Labor Commissioner. L. 14. Merrick, secretary of the Ore iron Retail Merchants' Association, said that its members are in full accord with the -rulings of the Commission, ex cept the one prohibiting night work. "One of the greatest evils we have to combat is the mail order business," he said. "If we can't sell Saturday nights, the consumer will have more time to read the mail order catalogues and will send East for his goods." J. H. Joyce, manager of the Hazel- wood restaurant, Portland, read a re port showing that by secret ballot yes terday 38 girls employed by him had voted for a continuance of the seven day week. If the decslion had been for a six-day week, it would have been Instituted at once, he said, but now the restaurant would continue on a seven day schedule until otherwise ordered by th Commission. Tt. A. Booth, of Eugene, a member of the conference, submitted a report of a partial survey of the state, show ing that employers have varying opin ions on the questions of hours and wages, but that the general average is lor a minimum wage of JS.S7 weekly and the average for maximum hours is S.S hours daily. The conference will hold further meetings before making its recommen dations to the Commission. TRACY MEETS OLD FRIEND Donegan of Australia Runs Across Boxer After 2 5 Years. Friends met for the first time In 23 years yesterday when Tom Tracv boxing instructor of the Multnomah Amateur Athletic Club, and James R. Ilonegan, of Melbourne, Australia, clasped hands.

AIM TO CORNER DENIED FMOJi MEAT COMPANY HAS KO DE SIGNS ON BUTTER, SAYS COLT. Plan Outlined in Evenlns Newspaper Declared to Be Opposite to Con cern's Methods. An article in an evening newspaper to the effect that the Union Meat Com pany is seeking to corner the butter and milk business of the Northwest is characterized by C. C. Colt, president of the Union Meat Company, as not only absolutely untrue, but ridiculous in the extreme. 'The Union Meat Company Is mak ing no effort and has made no effort to control the dairy produce business, ' said Mr. Colt yesterday. "We have been operating a small creamery at our plant, but have no Intention of ac quiring others. A plant at Eugene was offered to us by a. creamery man be cause ot sickness in his family, but we did not come to terms and the matter was dropped. 'As for our entering the milk busi ness, such a thing is absurd. The whole scheme, as outlined by the evening paper, is contrary to our way of doing business."

SURVEY SNUB' FELT BY SCHOOL BOARD Heads of City Educational Sys tem Criticise Committee Pointedly. REPORT IS NOT ON HAND Incomplete "Proof Sheets" Only Evidence of Work Done Received hy School Board, Declare Manly and' Plammcr. Failure of the school survey commit tee to furnish members of the School Board with complete copies of its re port on the Portland schools, although the report had been reviewed some weeks ago in the press of the city, brought forth pointed criticism from members of the Board last night at the meeting held to prepare the annual re port. "The survey committee has treated the Board with scant courtesy," said M. G. Munly, when the subject of what mention of the survey should be made in the annual report was brought up. "We have no copies of the report at hand and are not in a position to say in our annual report just what our at titude toward the survey or its various features may be. The committee was requested to supply us with the type written copy of the survey even before it was printed and this it ignored. The copies that have beeen supplied thus far have been simply proof sheets and these have been incomplete." "Snub" Is Felt. "I have had no copy of the survey myself," said O. M. Plummer, "except the resume that was given in the newspapers." "The survey committee has shown a tendency to snub the Board on several occasions regarding this report," said Mr. Munly. "The situation is now that probably no member of the Board has been able to secure a complete copy of the report to examine and we cannot well make a definite statement regarding it in the annual report until we have been able to study it." In reconsideration ' of the budget adopted the controvery over the J25.000 recommended for . physical education was reviewed in a discussion which was carried on chiefly between R. L. Sabln, chairman of the Board, and O. M. Plummer. Mr. Sabin raised the point that the appointment of visiting nurses and es tablishing of medical Inspection as contemplated in the department of physical education, for which the $25, 000 is to be set aside, may be exceeding the legal authority of the Board. Sir. Sabin Not Definite. "Mr. Chairman, is your raising of this legal question here to be con strued as an expression of opposition to the physical education plan?" asked Mr. Plummer. Mr. Sabin declined to reply definiteely whether he opposed or favored the plan. The board authorized the purchase; of a 16-acre tract of property near the Creston School for the site of the pro posed agricultural high school. Pur chaso of 4 acres In the Multnomah dis trict for the site of a new building was also authorized. The teachers' payrol for the past four weeks was ratified at the meeting last night. The total for the four weeks is $103,831.50, which is the largest monthly payroll in the history of the district by about $2500. Car Hits Fruit Vender. James Papasodero, fruit vender who lives at Forty-seventh street and Haw thorne avenue, was run down by a street car at Twenty-fourth Btreet and Hawthorne avenue early yesterday morning and is now in the Good Sa maritan Hospital with a broken leg. The man was driving his fruit wagon along the car tracks when the car came down the hill behind him and struck his wagon. Meeting Is Postponed.

Society' President Says Spontaneous Contributions Are to Be En couraged, as Expressing Human Fellowship. NEW YORK, Nov. 11. A country wide appeal for the abolitiqn of the useless Christmas gift and a plea for intelligent and thoughtful giving in stead were voiced tonight by Mrs. Aug ust Belmont, president of the Spugs, at the opening meeting of the 1913 campaign to be waged by that organ ization against Insincerity, compulsion and waste in Christmas giving. At this meeting the membership rolls of the Spugs the Society for the Prevention of Useless Giving were thrown open to all residents of the United States who might want to en roll against the foolish Christmas gift. Compulsory Giving: Deplored. Mrs. J. Borden Harriman presided at tonight's meeting. Mrs. Belmont was the orator. The original purpose of the society, she said, was to prevent compulsory giving by girls In stores and factories to their employers, the custom of collective giving, which the girls felt they could not afford, but which they could not avoid without embarrassment and positive loss of their positions. This was one of the chief objects of the society, she added, but not the only one. Another prime attainment sought, she said, was a general cultiva tion, by all classes of givers, of more thoughtfulness and expression of per sonality In making Christmas gifts. "We do not disapprove of collective giving when It Is done on the spur of the moment," she said, "or for some particular cause, because then It means that you have collected a sense of human fellowship of which tne money collected Is but an expression. We do approve of it when it is for the man lower down instead or a man higher up. Good M ill to Be Increased. "Some persons think that we oppose giving. Far from it; we do not oppose giving, but we advocate intelligent giv ing; giving that is done with the Christmas spirit of good will, as dis tinguished from giving that is com pulsory, from fear of obtaining re ward. "We propose to decrease, to reduce, the gift and increase the good will; to make the heart of Father Christmas rejoice by little acts of kindness, un selfishness, by putting thought into the gift we send our dear ones. Give generously, but from your heart, with all your thought. Don t make a dusi ness of giving, make It an art. Don't waste what should bea season of good will freely given."

In Temporary Fi nancial Embarrassment, Has Offer of Musical Position. For tile first time in the history of the organization, a. birdmun went yes terday to thfl Associated Charities for assistance, but his request was not for money or an aeroplane. It was a 'cello. He is a young Frenchman of good family and bearing excellent creden tials, but temporarily "up against it" in a strange land. He produced cre dentials showing that he was a gradu ate of the Bleriot school for Aeronauts. His plea for a 'cello was due, how ever, to tlie fact that he has secured an offer of a position in an orchestra, but he has no instrument, nor the means with which to secure one. The place offered him is in a city outside of Portland and his work will not bring him into competition with musicians who are already established. He declined to receive assistance in any other way, but said that If It were possible for the Associated Charities to find him an instrument with which to begin work in his new position, he be lieved he would soon be able to take care of himself and to secure a 'cello of his own. V. R. Manning, secretary of the As sociated Charities, is making an effort to secure the loan of an instrument so that the young man may begin his work. DAILY METLOKOI.OGICAL REPORT. FORTLA.ND.
