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

Thursday night, at which Samuel Hill

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. Ar
rangements are to be made whereby
members of the party can return to
Portland that night
The committee on arrangements at
Astoria, members of which were ap
pointed by Mr. Meier, consists of Frank

Mr. Knapp was born In Lenawee

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

Mason in Adrian Chapter, No. 10, Janu
ary 6, 1874, and was knighted in Adrian

Mrs. Emma Cochran, who lives two
miles south of Lents In Clackamas
County, borrowed Patrolman Ernest
Johnson's pencil yesterday to write two
notes which she intended to leave on
the Morrison bridge before making a
Suicidal plunge from the span into the
river. 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.
Cecil Cotswold, and the pretty bits of
interpolating in the love scenes of the
two win quick applauBe. Dorothy Shoe
maker has a simple, girlish role, and
plays It for its worth as Ulrica Cots
wold. Edward C. Woodruff was al
most forced to make a speech on his
entrance as Adrian Jacobson, so cor
dially was he received. Mary Edgett
Baker makes a dignified elderly Lady
Cotswold, and Loretta wells is the social-climbing
Lady Jacobson. William

Leslie De Leon "buttles" tor the Cots
wolds, and Kenheth Stuart "buttles"
for the Jacobsons. Ihe scenes are-perfect
in detail. Two of them are in the
morning-room of the Cotswolds, the
other is the drawing-room of the Jaclb-
sons. "The House Next uoot ' will oon

splendid treatment of the sub
ject of antl-semltlclsm, is most admir
ably set forth by the Baker players this
week. 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. Raymond Wells plays oppo
site -her a the young musical genius,

RAIN BREAKS UP CONTEST
General Average c
Range About 80
n Clackamas
Per Cent.
Rain broke up the last event of the
series of marksmanship contests of
the Oregon Natiqnal Guard for the
National trophies at Clackamas Rifle
Range yesterday. 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.
An effort will be made to have the
contest finished next Sunday, although
the time set for the contests expired
today.
LIBRARY TAX IS LOWER
Miss Isom Suggests Plan to Use Dis
carded Books.
The Portland library assessment will
be 4.5 mills, according to a statement
submitted to the County Commissioners
Saturday by Miss Mary Frances Isom,
librarian.
A contract between the library and
the county provides that the library
assessment shall be 5 mills, but Mlts
Isom calls attention to the twt that
in spite of the 10 per cent Increase
in the library each year and the larger
building now in use only 4.5 mills will
be needed next year.
Miss Isom reported to the Commis
sioners a deposit station could be ar
ranged at the Multnomah farm or dis
carded books from the city library could
be sent to the farm for the use of tlx
Inmates. Either one plan or the other
will be put into effect.
