tite aronxTxo oregoxtax, Monday, October 27, 1913. 0 161 0 WORK RULE LIMITED -SCOPE Restaurants and Telephone Companies Not Included in Commission Regulation. ORDER IS FOR CITY ONL Conference to Meet November 6 to lie tor Entire State, but Aim Is Declared to Avoid Upset ting Business If Possible. The first meeting of the Industrial Welfare Commission to consider the hours, wares and conditions of labor for women workers in all Industries in the state at large was called October 20. and will meet again November o r. Solis Cohen, a Portland attorney, is chairman, and Miss Caroline Gleaaon is secretary. Other conferences have dealt with these questions only in the City of Portland, and these conferences have not been called on to consider the cases of women workers in some or the in dustries of the city employing the greatest number of women, notably the restaurant business. The impression has prevailed to i trreat extent that restaurants are in eluded in the ruling- of the Commission that women in Portland mercantile es tablishments shall not be employed after t P. M., nor more than 60 hours a week. There has been much discus slon as to the effect such ruling- would have on the restaurant business, but the discussion has been anticipatory of such an order. The mercantile ruling does not apply, however, to restaurants. as indicated in an article published yesterday. That phase will come under the scope of the new state-wide con ference. Glrla Under 18 Affected. The only ruling- of the Commission thus far that applies to restaurants Is that prohibiting work after 6 P. M. for girls under 18, and this applies to all industries and the entire state. The ruling also requires that a minimum wage of $1 a day be paid for girls be. tween 16 and 13, except as the Commis sion arranges otherwise for appren tices, and that their maximum hours be eight hours and 20 minutes a day or 50 hours a week. All cases not hitherto considered will be acted on by this conference. Thus its work will include restaurant and hotel employes, telephone operators, laundry workers and other women em ployes throughout the entire state. It is the well-defined policy of the Industrial Welfare Commission to elim inate night work for women wherever possible and a ruling based on con ference findings and recommend atlon has been made, that after Nov ember 23, 1913, no woman may be em ployed in a mercantile establishment Is Portland later than 6 P. M. The commission, which has the potver to act Independently, without calling conferences. In the cases of minor workers,' has rendered a ruling that girls under 18 in the entire state may not be employed after 6 P. M. This ruling took effect October 4, With the exception that it does not apply to girls in Portland stores until after November 23, when the ruling for adult women workers in those places goes Into effect Employers Given Credit. Rev. Father Edwin V. O'Hara, chair man of the commission, in Bpeaking last night of the work of the mercan tile conference, which recommended that women in stores should not be employed after 6 P. M., said: "All the recommendations that have been put into effect heretofore have been pre pared by employers who took part In the conference." Referring to the statement that the minimum wage, or its equivalent, is already in effect In certain industries employing women in Portland, Father O'Hara said that he had examined many payrolls which did not Indicate that a minimum wage, such as has been es tablished by the commission for other industries, is being paid. "Any attempt at reform along these lines," said Father O'Hara, "must ne cessarily meet with opposition, and will inspire the same terror that was In spired when it was first proposed to inaugurate the 10-hour day, or the 12 hour day, or anything else of this na ture." The question of night work for wom en through-out the entire state is con sidered by members of the present con ference as the knottiest they will be called on to solve. Night Work Problem. The restaurant and telephone busi nesses, especially, are employers of women at night, and are of such a na ture that it seems to the commissioners such night employment Is necessary. rne question or hours and wages will not be nearly so difficult as the question of night work it is declared. bhould the conference report that it has found night work Inconsistent with the health and well-being of women employed In restaurants and telephone exchanges, and the Commission issues a ruling forbidding it, the immediate effect would be to. force hundreds of girls out of employment. This action probably would result In the temporary demoralization of the or ganlzations of these businesses. In the case of telephone exchanges, it is de clared by telephone men that the srv- 1c would be permanently Impaired. owing to the temperamental unfitness or boys or men to serve as operators. Radicalism Being Avoided. . It is not the policy of the Commis sion to make rulings revolutionary or demoralising in character, according io romer u tiara, nor have Its rulings already rendered been of such nature. It is regarded as more than probable inai me present conference will not recommend that night work for women be-prohibited In such industries as res taurants or telephone exchanges.. The members of this state-wide con fernce, who will work with the mem bers of the Industrial Welfare Commis sion in its meetings, are as follows: Representing employers Guy W. Talbot, of the Pacific Power & Light Company; Thomas Kay, State Treas urer, an owner of the Salem Woolen Mills; Thomas Roberts, of Roberts Brothers' department store. Representing the general public Mrs. Sarah A. Evans, president of the Oregon Federation of Women's Clubs; D. Soils Cohen, Portland attorney; r! A. Booth, of the Booth-Kelly Lumber Company of Eugene. Representing the employes Mrs. L. Gee, factory worker; Mrs. Steve King, formerly employed as a telephone oper ator; Miss Marie Barton, a laundry employe. Highway Association will hold a meet ing in the Opera-house at Astoria next Thursday night, at which Samuel Hill will deliver hie famous illustrated lec ture on rood roads. Clatsop County is soon to vote on a $400,000 bond issue for the building of three main trunk roads in various parts of the county. One of these roads is from Westport to Astoria, being part of the Columbia River Highway, a sec ond one is to extend from Astoria to Seaside, and thence south along the coast to the Tillamook County line while the third is to be built down the Nehalem Valley as far as the Tllla mook boundary. The locations of these three roads distribute the benefits of the bond issue to practically all points of the county. When good, roads workers of As toria yesterday sent a message to Jul ius L. Meier, president of the Columbia Highway Association, asking him to help in the work for the bond issue by calling a meeting of the association for the Opera-house Thursday night, at which arguments in favor of the bonds could be presented, he promptly com plied. These arrangements were made just In time for him to send a special de livery letter to Vancouver addressed to Samuel Hill, who was due there on his way from Seattle to Maryhill, Wash., asking him to take part Mr. Hill re ceived this message at 7:55 o'clock P. M. and promptly telegraphed to Mr. Meier that he would be glad to Join the party and give his good roads talk. Mr. Hill will not be the only speaker. Frank Terrace, the farmer-good roads speaker, living near Seattle, Wash., Is also to be on the programme. Ter race, as a farmer himself, addresses his remarks to the farmers, telling his personal experiences with good and bad roads. An address by him at the good roads night in the last Oregon Legis lature was one of the features of the session. . Members of the association will leave Portland for Astoria on Thursday morning. Two meetings in Clatsop County are planned. The first, in the afternoon, is to be held at Seaside for farmers and citizens of that vicinity. The second will be the one in the Asto ria Opera-House in the evening.

Mr. Knapp was born In Lenawee County, Michigan, January 8, 1845, where he received a good common school education. In 1866 he removed, to Napa County, California, and in' 1893 to Portland, where he and his family resided up to the time of his death. He became a master mason In Temple Lodge. No. 168, at Adrian, Mich., April 1866; was exalted and Royal Arch Mason in Adrian Chapter, No. 10, Janu ary 6, 1874, and was knighted in Adrian Commandery, No. 4, October 14, 1878.

To the quick-wlttedness of the officer she owes her life, for Johnson, suspecting her intention, detained her until she told him the entire story oi her misfortunes. She is now under medical care In the matron's depart ment of the City JaiL Mrs. Cochran, who says the cruelties of her husband, which she detauea to the police, made her wish to end her life, went to the police station early yesterday. She met Patrolman John son at the front door, and asked to borrow his pencil. He lent it and when she returned it in a few moments her anxiety to leave and her careworn appearance struck him. He persuaded her to wait at headquarters for a few moments, then, believing that she in tended to commit suicide, he set to talking the plan from her mind. She finally acknowledged that her intentions were as he had surmised, and she gave him the two notes she had written. One read: "I am tired of my life, so I will go to my death. God knows my life. So tell them, please, goodby to all of you.' You will find my body in the river at Morrison." The other epistle read: "I do so want to see my baby, but I can't now. My heart is broken. I was so good. God, He knows. Goodby." To both notes she signed her name. After she had been cared for by the matron and City Physician Zlegler, she said her husband, Clark Cochran, an employe of the Damascus Creamery, had beaten and treated her brutally until she wished to die. On Friday she appealed to the police for aid, and swore out a warrant charging her hus band with cruel treatment Patrolman Drapeau, sent to arrest Cochran, found that his home was outside the county. Mrs Cochran is 27 years old. She was married to Cochran when she was 15 years old, and they have had 10 children, five of whom are living. She told stories of alleged brutality and torture of her husband which Stirred the police, used as they are to similar tales. The police are searching for Gochran on the original warrant on which they will hold him until further and more drastic action can be taken.

It is a play of action and speech. There Is dramatic incident. The play is a product of the Semitic question and is written from an unbiased, wholly un prejudiced viewpoint. Hartley Manners is its author. The theme is a familiar one, that of race prejudice between Jew and Gentile. The treatment Is a new one. Sir Issac Jacobson is a wealthy Jew who has descended from a humble tenant on the estate of the old and honorable Cotswold family. Gifted with unusual business ability he has gradually risen in the world until he has become the landlord of the Cotswolds, aid has been made a member of Parliament and a Baronet because of his pre-eminence in philanthropic and industrial achieve ments. His wife is a social climber ot the unpleasant sort, but he, himself, is a man of large mind, and simple, gener ous ideas. The Jaoobsons dwell in a mansion in Kensington, next door to the home of Sir John Cotswold, who is forced to rent from them the old home he once owned. This Sir John has been a profit gate old spendthrift, and has steadily increased in poverty as his neighbor has increased in wealth. He is an irascible old aristocrat, railing at the slings and arrows of an outrageous fortune and constantly denouncing the upstart as he calls him who has- climbed above him. In each family there is a son, who loves a daughter in the other. Sir John, whose hatred of the Jacobsons is even more a matter of race-prejudice than of personal pique, threatens to disown his children if they persist in maintaining social intercourse with the children of Sir Isaac He pays a spe cial visit to the home of his neighbor for the purpose of insulting him. Bui the Jew treats him with unexpected magnanimity, and finally being won over by the Insistence of bis children. Sir John overcomes his prejudice and makes peace with his neighbor. The play rises to reality and tallies with life. Its sentiment is sound. In portraying the character of Sir John Cotswold, Thomas A. Walsh exercises an imagination that realizes life. He draws the type minutely with a fine imaginative attention to details. The part, as Mr. Walsh gives it, is one ot the most real and living figures which have been disclosed this season in the Baker stock. Sir Isaac Jacobson, as played by Louis Leon Hall, is a note worthy feature of the play, a calm. dignified, study in repression, which is a splendid bit of contrast to the iras cible, peppery type of Sir John. That accomplished comedian, James Hester, gives a fine example of highly, finished acting, as music agent and by his portrayal of a type vastly in the minority among Jews, brings to the thinking mind a realization of how easily a great and noble race may be misjudged through its least worthy rep resentatives. Belva Morrell has the best role of her Baker life. She is wholesome and charming, playing with unaffected sweetness the role of Esther Jacobson.

The 95 marksmen had finished the 200 and 300-yard rapid-fire test and the 300 and 600 yard slow-fire test, but nothing was done on the 600-yard range. The men made a fine showing, and, according to Lieutenant Henry Mc Connell, of C Company, about 30 men would have qualified as experts, 20 as sharpshooters, and all would have passed the marksmanship average. The general average was about 80 per cent. Colonel Charles H. Martin was in command.
