Playing with fire always has been considered a dangerous game. It is as dangerous in the case of a com- muity or a city as it is in the case of an individual. The wise man nev er plays with fire, and by the same process of reasoning a wise city nev er takes chances with a conflagra tion. Portland has a paid fire depart ment, and there was a time when it was an efficient organization, a body of men who felt that their duty called them to stick on the job 24 hours a day and every day in the week if necessary. Years ago fire men liked their work: they liked the esteem in which they were held by the men and women whose property and lives they protected day and night. Firemen did not think of a day's work as eight hours, nor did they worry much about wages. They liked the job. Years passed. The 24 hour day palled on men who saw clerks and policemen and street sweepers work ing eight hour- a day, the clerks with Saturday afternoons off, and plenty of holidays thrown in for good measure. The question of wages, of course, came up with other prob lems. but there has not been in the Portland department a persistent de mand for more money. The demand has crystallized into a call for a fair work day with part of each 24 hours off duty. Work ceases to be a joke when a man has to be on 'duty 24 hours at a stretch for as many days as an inconsiderate council may fix as the limit of human endurance. While it is true that the wage paid is an in ducement to stick on a job, the wage paid in Portland has not been an in ducement for efficient firemen to hang around firehouses day in and day out, week in and week out. Some of the firemen have seen the ad vantage of being a policeman, on the eight hour basis, and have quit the fire house cold, with his wage scale unchanged. This fact, if no other were apparent, shows that it is not a wage scale that is demanded; it is a fair work day. One would think that a fireman were an inferior human being, the way fire houses in Portland are made Mr. and Mrs. Elmer Marshall are th< ;*oud parents of a nine and one- half pound son, who came to live CANDIDATE FOR SENATE with them October 29.

CLACKAMAS FISHERMEN PLEAD FOR FAIR PLAY The Clackamas County Fishermen’s Union ij making a vigorous fight on the measure to close the Willamette river to commercial fishing. The union men urge voters to vote 307 no. It is charged that the Portland Rod and Gun club is behind the measure to close the river, having been suc cessful in having the legislature pass the bill upon which the referendum was invoked. The following pertinent questions have been asked of the men who would close the river to fishermen: “Is protection of salmon really needed? “Why don’t they stop hook and line fishing? "Where will Portland get its fresh salmon from when the Columbia river salmon is controlled by the trust? "If the run of salmon has been steadily increasing why do they want to change the laws? "Why do they want to prohibit the sale of salmon caught by hook and line ? DEATHS. At the family residence. 5948 Forty fifth avenue Southeast, Mrs. Minnie M.

A fireman is de nied home life in Portland; he is ex pected to be a good citizen because he lives in this country and gets a pay check from the city. Even if it ■ s conceded that every normal man should have home ties and home comforts, Portland firemen are placed in a class by themselves, either as inferior beings or as men who are known to have too little courage to demand their rights and strike if they cannot secure fair treatment. Either horn of the dilemma offers an insult to the common sense of the Portland fireman. Speaking of strikes: It always has been considered impossible for fire men and policemen to strike effec tively. Well, in Portland the strike has been used with telling effect in the fire department. Nearly 200 men have gone on strike since New Year, 1917, not for more money but for the shorter work day. True, there has not been a walkout, but day after day the men have left their jobs and sought employment where the eight hour day was the rule. The Portland fire department is filled with recruits, untrained men, who are waiting for better conditions or a better job. The department cannot be bcilt up on the basis of the 24 hour day—that is cer tain. What would happen in the case of a great fire? How could property and life be protected? Who would be to blame for the loss and devas tation? Who would make up the loss to the property owners? Last year the voters of the city defeated a measure which would have improved conditions, in the Fire department and made it possible to keep good men on the job. A lot of camouflage was spread over the city, not to say real lies. The voters were bamboozled into believing that the city would be ruined if the fire boys were given the 10-hour day. Another two-platoon measure is before the voters for approval or rejection next Tuesday. Every good citizen, every man and woman who favors the square deal, should vote for it.. The question of fire protection is not up to the city as a whole. It is up to the individual citizen, the voter. What shall the answer be? October 27. at 9659 Fifty-ninth ave nue S.
