Baseball s. >res at Obak SLAVIC INVASION THREATENS OREGON Pacific Coast Faces Serious Immigra tion Problem With Opening of Panama Canal. A. Harris, who is editor of the Portland Labor Press, represents Or ganized I^abor, spoke at Assembly yesterday' morning, on “Great Pro blems that f ace the People of Ore gon.’’ Mr. Harris is the first labor representative to speak to the stu dents this year. He spoke once be fore to the students in the journalism department on his work as an editor. He said yesterday that the greatest problem facing the people of Oregon is the solving of the immigration pro blem, which will inevitably come with the opening of the Panama Canal. He said that.the Slavonic peoples will come here by the thousands and over run an already crowded labor market, to force their standard of living upon our native laborers. We must find some place to put these European peo ples when they come. Unless this problt m is solved, he predicts a slum problem that will rival that of the East. Oregon Needs Development. “ The solution,” he said, “lies in the claiming for cultivation the logged-off land of Western Oregon, and the thou sands of arrest of table land in Eastern Oregon, which will not yield si living for colonists in its present condition. This problem must be worked out in the next two or three years and the man who does it will have served hu manity as much as Abraham Lincoln did in freeing the negroes. “This is one of the steps in the bet terment of living conditions for hu , inanity as a whole, for which Organ ized Labor is working. It is not for mi- own special benefit, but for the people of the whole state, that we are working. Wo have representatives in Italy and other countries of Southern Europe outlining to the people there the living standards of this country and teaching them the value of main taining high standards when they come here. Our problem, really, is prevention rather than cure, and that will be the easiest way out of the dif ficulty.” Conditions in Oregon Had. Mr. Harris spoke briefly of the de plot able conditions of living among the timber vv irkers of the state, forced upon them by the employers because they have no organization, lie said that was one of the problems being considered by Organized Labor at the present time. lie spoke of the purposes of Organ ized Labor, of which he is a member. "Thor e have always been people, from the beginning,” he said, “who have be lieved that a man should get a fair re turn for effort, and that is the prin ciple for which we have labored. We have gained an eight hour day over nearly the whole country, and have gained a wage that allows for reason able comforts in each home.” ooooooooooooo o SPORTING SQUIBS o o - o o By “Slivers.” o ooooooooooooo The University of Washington is! paying $0,700 in coaching salaries an nually.
