MAKES PLEA FOR
EARLY SHOPPING
THE LABOR COMMISSIONER
SENDS LETTERS BROAD
CAST
FOR THE AID OFSHOP GIRLS
Says Appeal Is of Vital Merit,
and Asks That All Help by
Verbal Appeal, to Lessen the
Load of the Laborers.
To the Editor:
I want to beg space in your paper
for an appeal to the public on a mat
ter of much more importance than
many as yet think.
It is the matter of early holiday
shopping. There are very few who
have not heard this appeal from
many sources before, but many, very
many, have not been moved by it as
they should.
As Labor Commissioner, charged
with the protection as far as possible
of the workers of Oregon, I add my
voice to the appeal to everyone to
shop early.
Do your shopping early in the
month, early in the week, early in
the day. Observe all three of these
important points and you will do jus
tice and mercy that will be appreci
ated by thousands of overworked
saleswomen and salesmen, and by
diousands more who realize the im
portance of such action. *
Shop early and in broad daylight.
Don’t allow yourself to linger with
;he thoughtless throng after the
ivening shadows begin to fall. Do
Lis and the fervent “God bless you’’
vill spring from the hearts of tens
)f thousands of shop girls ready to
mllapse from the fatigue of the day
)f the hardest kind of work.
Have you any idea of the work of
30th brain and body of the average
saleswoman, particularly in the city
)r larger town? 1 dare say you have
lot—not one in fifty of you. On
;heir feet all day, running hither and
;hither, harassed by the whim and
iften by the rebuke of all classes of
nen and women in ail stages of ner
rous tension. A more fatiguing oc
:upation is unknown. Think of it,
please, and lend your reasonable as
sistance by forming habits that will
idd just as little as possible to the
general strain.
It is at these rush seasons when
die incentive is greatest to break the
law governing hours of employment,
^.nd this is natural. Merchants'
drive to please their patrons and to
iccommodate the public in every way.
Surely the public, also, has some re
sponsibility. If the law is violated,
hose charged with its enforcement
nust act or be justly censured.
From every conceivable viewpoint
he appeal for early shopping is of
yital merit, and I urge upon one and
ill the importance of co-operation
loth in their personal acts, and in
iielping by verbal appeal, to secure
die most general observance of so
worthy a principle.
O. P. HOFF,
State Labor Commissioner.

1906, was the principal speaker yes
terday at the regular meeting of the

life and also by a display of native
costumes.

map the stations of the Oregon mis
sionaries who are working in foreign
countries.
The cost of Harvard’s football
