TiTTnre of consress to appropriate
sufficient funds to maintain the United
Plate employment bureau on ita pres
ent basis will not result in shutting
novo the 11 branch offices in different
parts of Oregon, according to announce
ment yesterday of Wilfred T. Smith,
director of the Oregon bureau.
Although government funds will not
be available to carry on this work, the
various cities and towns of Oregon are
so vitally interested in the welfare of
tbc returning soldiers and sullora-tba
the citizens, almost with one accord,
have come forward to maintain these
branch bureau until such a time as th
irovernment anln appropriates suffi
tlent money to carry on the work.
:Ur mm 4 .tatarla Talaatrer.
"Kuarene and Astoria are the first to
me forward with offers to maintain
these employment bureaus for soldiers
nd sailors." said Mr. smith ester
ay. "Tbj people in these two citie
are not willinc that this work should
be halted summarily Just because
aenate filibuster resulted in delaying
action on the employment bureau ap

merit will crystallise in other commu
nities to surh an extent that other
cities will follow the splendid exam
Pie."
A government order issued late last
week commanded the Oregon bureau
to rut its force in half. This will mean
lb at the Portland office must be re
duced to a mere skeleton of It work
ers, while under ordinary conditions It
would likewise mean a shutting down
of the 11 branch offices about the
state.
Mr. Smith announced that the sailors'
and soldiers employment bureau
Liberty temple will be maintained as
us-aal. as this has become one of the
most important branches of the federal
employment bureau work.
." Otaer Cities Expected to Follow.
"Tf other citlea follow the lead of
Astoria and Eugene, branch offices will
be maintained temporarily to take care
of the employment of soldiers and sail
ors. The civilian labor department in
these branch bureaus will be elimi
nated.
-We are not going to ask for assist
ance for the Lnited Mates employment
bureau, but we are going to ask these
communities to keep the bureaus open
under authority of the municipalities
or some of the various war organiza
tions." said Mr. Smith.
"This placing of our returned sol
diers and sailors is too important to
be stopped In this manner, and we will
anneal to the cities to keep their or
fiues open at all hasards. We will loan
them our office furniture, our type
writers or anything else they want,
and give them all the credit for carry
ing on the work if they will only do
this work."
- , apeclal Sesaloa Ileped For.
Mr. Smith and other officials of the
United States employment service in
Oregon are hopeful that a special ses
sioa of congress early this summer will
appropriate sufficient funds to restore
the federal employment bureau to its
normal status. Mr. Smith saya the
work of the bureau has assumed such
large proportions in finding employ
ment for returned soldiars and sailors
that it is practically imperative that
the branch bureaus be maintained.
J. M. Waggener. superintendent of
the branch office at Astoria, was in
Portland yesterday conferring with Di
rector Smith with reference to the
Astoria office.
"Every industry and every organiza
tion In Clatsop county has promised to
co-operate In keeping our bureau open
indefinitely.- said Mr. Waggener. "The
people have seen the results of our
work in placing soldiers and sailors in
employment, and they are not willing
that our branch office be closed simply
because federal funds are larking. So
far as I am personally concerned. I
will uladlv donate my services if it
becomes necessary."
Spirt ef Help Is Ceaerak
Mr. Smith said that other employes
of the bureau had shown the same
spirit as Mr. Waggener. several of them
having refused more remunerative po
sitions In order to remain at a work
where they knew they were doing
something for the soldiers and sailors.
"One of my men was offered a posi
tion at a 50 per cent advance in salary.'
ie said. "But he told me he could not
take It because he would not desert the
oldiers and sailors at a time when
the employment bureau faced such a
serious condition. He declared he would
stay by me and sink with the ship.
This Is the sort of spirit which has
made the employni nt bureau in this
state an institution which has been of
real service to the men in uniform."

Contract Goods on Which We Are Not Allowed to-Cut the Price
and a Few Lines of White Shirts Alone Excepted
'OU know what this means. It means that
(with the few exceptions noted) you can
select tomorrow any silk shirt in the
MEIER & FRANK stocks for less than the
regular price. Men who rely on this store
for their silk shirt supply will appreciate this rarely-
met-with opportunity to stock up with the shirts of
their choice at less than they are in the habit of pay
ing. Men who have not yet come to headquarters
will find no better time to become acquainted than
this. Forward-looking men will buy enough shirts
to have a supply on hand all through the summer
months when they can choose' from such qualities
as these at such prices:
NEW Famous "Sandor Weisz"
Silk Fiber Shirts $5.65
The fame of Sandor shirts is national this label designates only
the best. Every shirt in this lot is new. Spring designs and colors
of the most handsome and exclusive sorts are shown. The shirts have
collars to match. The values are wonderful at $5.65.
Y
$7.50-$8.00-$8.50
Shirts $6.95
Please remember that the regular prices quoted
for these silk shirts are usually less than the same
qualities are priced elsewhere, which makes our sale
price all the more remarkable. .
Our $12.50 Silk.
Shirts $9.85
Shirts that in the quality of silks, in designing, in
workmanship from the most important to the littlest
details bear the impress of distinction.
$5.00 China Silk
Shirts $3.65
Plain white China silk shirts that appeal to men
of conservative taste shirts that are rarely reduced
in price can be had in this sale at $3.65 instead
of our regular price of $5.00.
Our 9-$10 Silk
Shirts $7.95
Two of our most popular lines of silk shirts are hy
cluded in this group at the reduced price of $7.9o.
A good selection when the sale opens tomorrow.
WE HAVE said little or nothing about the variety of silks
in tfyis sale about the wonderful Crepes de Chine, the
Broadcloths, the Bengalines, the LaJerz and other superb
weaves. We have not touched on the wealth of designs and color
ings included. Men know that in such a sale as this, affecting
practically our entire stocks, every reputable silk, pattern and
coloring will be found. What we wish to emphasize here is the
extraordinary nature of the savings: Remember that many of
these' shirts are NEW and all desirable. All sizes included, but
not in every pattern.. We counsel iarly shopping to all who can
do so but come some time during the , day.
