TIIE 3IORXIXG OREGONIAN, TUESDAY, MARCH 3, 1914. . . WAGE LAWS IH ALL 5IATES PREDICTED Retailers' Association Treas urer Also Thinks Profit Sharing Will Come. OREGON ACT CRITICISED Minimum or $9.25, Though High, Is Satisfactory, Says Mr. Pinkham, but One Year Apprentices Is Too Short. That every state in the Union wil) pass a minimum wage law within the next two years and that the large de partment stores the country over be fore the end of the next decade will establish profit-sharing systems affect ing all of their employes, or face the abuse and waste of strikes, were the predictions brought to Portland Sun day by F. Colburn Pinkham, of New Tork, manager and treasurer of the National Retail Dry Goods Association. The organization, of which he is the director, embraces 30 per cent of all the large department stores in the United States, representing 38 states and an aggregate annual business of from 4(ilT.OOO,000 to J500.000.000. Mr. Pinkham arrived from California and will leave late tonight for Seattle. He was entertained yesterday by lead ing Portland merchants with & long automobile ride in and about the city. At 12:30 today he will be the guest of Knnr. and thn nrlnninnl sneaker at a luncheon tendered by the Commercial Club in its main dining-room, and to night he will speak before the retail merchants of Portland at a banquet presided over by W. P. Olds. This ban quet will convene at 6:30 o'clock in the rovernors room of the Commercial Club. Vocational Training I'rped. Among other things Mr. Pinkham ad vocates vocational training in the pub lic schools that will train young peo ple for expert salesmanship and alle viate largely the waste and confusion that have handicapped department store management in the past. He says that it costs about S cents to deliver a spool of thread, the same as it does a tailored suit, thus illustrating that customers cost themselves thousands of dollars annually by not carrying home those packages that would not inconvenience them materially. "Oregon made herself famous not only in the United States but also in Borne sections of Europe, daring to pass a. minimum wage law of $9.25 a week in department stores," declared Mr. Pinkham. "There is a general feeling throughout the country, even among the legislators preparing to enact leg islation in their own states, that in adequate provisions have been made in the Oregon law for those who will have to serve as apprentices. "It is quite impossible within the period of one year to prepare a girl for the minimum wage now existing. To me it would have seemed wiser to have given apprentices two or three years in which to qualify for a wage of $3.25 a week. 8 Enough, In Belief. "States generally are planning to pass laws calling for a minimum wage of about $8 a week. Even the em ployes in New York City seem to feel that they could get along on a wage of tS a week. "During my conversation with the leading merchants of Portland today I have found that they do not object to the maintenance of the present $9.25 minimum wage and that they think that wage is reasonable enough. They are, however, finding it difficult to make an apprentice into a. regular salesgirl in a year's time. "The only solution for the present Intense industrial situation existing in some localities, as m New York, for example, is the installation of an equitable profit-sharing system. It stimulates the girls to work harder and to be more courteous and efficient. Besides, it is the best possible prevent ive forstrikes and the abuse of union ism, which are bound to come unless some such system is adopted univer sally. CABARETS ARE DEFINED Dancing on Stages and Choruses to Be Barred From Grills. Bv an agreement starting yesterday Between Mayor Albee and the proprie tors of cabaret grills, there will be no dancing on the stages in the grills. The singing will be cut down to single vocalists, duets or trios, and ncthing approaching a chorus will be allowed. Instrumental music does not come un der the ban in any way. The rules will not be hard and fast. Says the Mayor, and a proper respect lor the appearance of the cabarets will be the determining factor in deciding what features will be allowed. There is at present no ordinance on the sub Sect, and in the fact that there are a multiplicity of ordinances now on rec ord. Mayor Albee does not wish to add another, relying on promises to re model the cabaret shows to the stated proportions. Fritzi Scheff Vith Usual Charm Fascinates Operatic Star Is Winsome Headliner at Orphcnm Other Aumbers on Bill Are of High Class. DIVERSITY, with plenty for every type of vaudeville devotee,, stamps the new Orpheum bill. That fascinat ing little imp of grand and comic opera, adorable Fritzi Scheff, is the headliner. She has lost none of her charm. Her birdlike notes and flutelike trillings are as lovely as in the comic opera days when we saw this little Viennese prima donna more often. Mile. SchetT has not bowed her pa trician little head to the dictates of fashion in changing her figure and her waist is just where it used to be. Her vivacious manner and delightfully obliging manner of responding to re calls remain as of yore. She gave a generous little programme, one of the numbers being her absolutely flawless and always memorable song, "Kiss Me," in which her high, soft notes are heard to splendid advantage. It is a distinct achievement for vau deville that Fritzi Scheff is one of its exDloitations. Her act Is artistic in every sense. Louis Aschenfelder, her piano accompanist, gave also one solo number, which was well received. Madge Maitland. who is "individual ity" in tangible form, has a gay little perky way of taking her a'idieice into her close confidence while she sings. and interrupts herself to chatter. She ln-i a few Irish melodies and brings a mighty pleasant little number to a dose -by -warDung a new aoug, -in Fool," into & big horn of wood. Sam Barton, who looks like an ani mated snooky ookums In rags and tat ters, wanders carelessly onto the stage and proceeds to make merry with a bicycle which has a surprising naDit oi falling apart. Sam keeps the audience hanging onto its seat with fun at his ludicrous pantomime. From Fritzi Scheft to a simian com edy act is a far cry, but this week's bill provides both. And the monkeys set the house in an uproar with their lively scrimmages. Three big fellows have a bowling match and a dozen lit tle ones strew wreckage all- over the stage. Tudor Cameron, as a "boob" who 13 newly hired stagehand, and Johnny O'Connor, as a reg'lar actor, mix on the stage and indulge in repartee. Cameron's entrance chasing a cake of slippery soap over the floor makes a riot. He is "hired" to go into an act." and does it, with dancing addi tions that get over in great shape. Armstrong and Ford as an Amer ican "cop" who tells jokes and an Eng lish Johnny, who misses their points or misconstrues them, have a fun-making offering. Opening- the bill are the two TaDors, athletic and artistic club manipulators, in an unusually bright and attractive tossing and twisting of prismatic-huea clubs. AL VANCOUVER RESPONDS 'WELL, TO "OO-TO-CHl KCH" PLAN. Observance at Army Post In Elaborate, With 24 Buglers Calling Con gregation Together. VANCOUVER, "Wash.; March 2. (Spe cial.)

Vosburgh, of Den ver, read scriptures and offered prayer. Rev. Thomas May said the closing prayer and benediction. The sermon was delivered by Chap lain James Ossewaarde, of the Twenty first Infantry, and his text was, "Be of Good Courage and Let Us Play the Men for Our People and for the Cities of Our God." The extraordinary effort put forth by the Protestant churches of the city bore good fruit, and practically every church in the city was filled. Printers' ink was used freely and campaign tags were put on every door knob . in the city, the milk bottles de livered to all patrons bore the inscrip tion, "Go to church Sunday, and street cars for days carried banners. A whole page of a local paper was used jointly by the churches for advertising tne day.

A snapped trolley wire was all that saved a suburban electric train carrying 250 passengers strikingJ.onight obstruc tions piled on the track between Del Rey and Redondo Beach. Hurrying from Los Angeles along the oceanfront toward Redondo at a rate said to have been 45 miles an hour, the two-car train slackened speed and stopped when the wire snapped and the current was inter rupted. A few yards ahead lay six tics across the track. A short distance further on a hydraulic jack was chained to the rails. Beyond, that was a big sawbuck. Police are searching for traces of the would-be trainwreckers. CHICKEN SUSPECTS HELD Vancouver Police Busy Showing Fowls to Inquiring- Farmers. VANCOUVER, Wash., March 2. (Spe cial.) About 30 farmers of Clarke County, who declared their chickens had been stolen recently, kept the po lice here busy today showing them 115 fowls which were taken from a wagon being driven to Portland Saturday by R.

CLASS B HEADS CONFER Rtri.ES OP LEAGUE TO BE PCT IN APPLE PIE" ORDER ' Home Team to Be Charged With Passes at Rate of Regular Tickets Two Deals for Players Annoaaces. SEATTLE, Wash, March 2. (Spe cial.) Directors of the Northwestern Baseball League held a protracted spe- p-cial meeting here last night. Adjourn ment was taken until the week alter the close of the regular season, when action will be taken on changes in bylaws. President Fielder Jones presided. All clubs were represented except Port land. Bylaws and constitution were discussed. Some of the club owners thought K would be a good Idea to pick op the various resolutions scattered through the minutes relating- to the constitution and bylaws and put them in apple-pie order. President Jones was empowered to employ an attorney to do the work. In the past the settlement in the box office on passes issued has been on a basis of their ratio to the num ber of tickets sold. A resolution was adopted doing away with the old plan and substituting one whereby the home team Is charged with every pass the same price as if it were a regular ticket. The only deal in players was that In which President Wattelet, of Victoria, purchased from President Farr, of Spo kane, th release of Outfielder Dash bach, last year with Missoula, in the Union Association, and before that a. member of the Connecticut League.

A destruc tive storm swept the northeast sec tion of the country today and was stilt ralnff late tonight. From fitts burg and Buffalo on the west to the Atlantic seaboard and up througn tn New England states heavy gales car ried rain, snow or sleet, the maximum nrer-fnitation in some of the localities being more than 15 inches. ShiDS wera blown asnore. uommum cation by telegraph and telephone was interrupted for hours and trains were blocked or delayed on nearly ail ran road lines. In New York and. vicinity there were five deaths due to the storm. The safety of the crew ofan unidentified schooner aground off the Connecticut shore was in doubt. The storm was central off New York tonight, with the temperature falling rapidly as a cold wave from the Lake region ao vanned eastward. Telegraph companies reported the damage to their service was the most serious in years, and officers of rail r,.ad comnanies made the same com nlaints. The Dossibility of destruction and delay was greater than the ad vices at hand at a late hour indicat ed, owing to the lack of communication with outlvinsr districts. It was only by roundabout routes that the interior cities of the storm zone could be reached. Express trains on most through lines were many hours late. Telegraph poles, blown over by winds reaching a velocity of more than 80 miles an hour, fell across tracks and trams were halted or crept along a few feet at a time. In Northern. New Jersey the cities of Hoboken, Passaic New Brunswick and Jersey City and other communities were thrown into darkness at night fall, the authorities In several .in stances discontinuing the electric light service owing to fallen wires. In this city the temperature dropped ten degrees in four hours, standing at 23 degrees shortly ' before midnight, when more than nine and one-half inches of snow had fallen, nearly par alyzing surface traffic and cutting off some of the suburbs.

Charges made by Rochester, Wash., residents, through the- East Rochester Improvement Club, that Public Serv ice Commissioner Spinning, of Sumner, has been guilty of collusion in an al leged real estate scheme, will be in vestigated by Governor Lister, who was in Tacoma today. The Rochester club accuses Commis sioner Spinning of collusion with L. L. Hunter, a Rocnester merchant, and others in an alleged attempt to obtain abandonment of the present Northern Pacific depot at Rochester and creation of a new union depot at the junction of the Northern Pacitic and Milwaukee railroads. Governor Lister evidently is watch ing with keen interest the. scramble among Democrats of the" state for the nominations of their party for unitea States Senator and Congressional Rep resentatives. He had nothing to say us to the various candidates today, but asked many questions concerning the political situation here and elsewhere. On only one matter verging on politics did the Governor touch, and that was state-wide prohibition. Speak ing before the afternoon meeting of the Swedish Lutheran conference he virtually admitted he was in favor of prohibition, although he said he would take no hand in tne matter. "Im going to the polls In November," he said, "and vote just as my con science says, and if everyone else will do the same, as they all ought to, we will have the right opinion of what the majority of the state wants. It is not a party issue, but a moral and economic issue. STANFORD SALARIES GO UP Increase of $62,000 Yearly to Give to 2J5 of Teaching Force. STANFORD UNIVERSITY, Cal., March 2.

Mackenzie, be cause of the prompt relief it gave him in treating rheumatism, neuralgia and stiff neck. When "White Hat" isn't telling about having owned C. H. Todd, the winner of the American derby in 18S7; Sorrento, who finished second in the same classic In 1889, and Dexter Prince, for whom he refused $80,000, he is talking about the marvelous work done by Akoz. "Akoz Is surely the goods," said he, "it cured me of rheumatism, neuralgia and a stiff neck. If there had been anything else the matter with me I am sure Akoz would have cured that. My neuralgia was so bad that I was nearly wlli and could hardly speak. Akoz took all the pain out in a day. Rheuma tism in my foot was also knocked out in a hurry. A stiff neck responded over night to an application of the Akoz compound. I believe Akoz will cure almost anything." in Extra S. & H.

When I first began taking it I was suffering from female troubles for some time and had almost all kinds of aches pains in low er part of back and in sides, and press ing down pains. I could not sleep and had no apoetite. Since I have taken Lydia E. 'Pinkham's Vegetable Com pound the aches and pains are all gone and I feel like a new woman. I cannot praise your medicine too highly." Mrs. Augustus Lyon, Terre Hill, Pa. It is true that nature and a woman's work has produced the grandest remedy for woman's ills that the world has ever known. From the roots and herbs of the field, Lydia E. Pinkham, forty years ago, gave to womankind a remedy for their peculiar ills which has proved more efficacious than any other combination of drugs ever com pounded, and today Lydia E.
