LOSS OF JOB IS FEARED Both Employer and Employe Attack Laws and Decree Young Woman Is Grocery Clerk at Olds, Wortman & King's Store. Oregon's minimum-wage law and thd Industrial Welfare Commission, created by the law for Its execution, have been attacked on both flanks. Kathleen C. Baker, a clerk In the grocery department of Olds, "Wortman & Kins, yesterday filed suit In Circuit Court asking that tne court issue a decree annulling the order of the In dustrial Welfare Commission and en joining the Commission from attempt ing to enforce its order; and that both the order and the statute under which It was issued be declared null and void. Frank C. Stettler. a Portland box manufacturer, has already attacked the law as an employer, and his objections to it are similar to those set forth by Mlss Baker. Fulton & Bowerman ap pear as attorneys for both Mr. Stettler and Miss Baker. The particular order of the Commis sion to which Miss Baker objects is that rendered September 23, and effec tive November 23, fixing the minimum wage for Portland women store-workers at $9.25 a week, their maximum hours at eight hours and 20 minutes a day and forbidding their employment after 6 P. M. of any day. Miss Baker says that she is 30 years old, 13 years a resident of Oregon, and that she has had U years' experience as a grocery clerk. She says that her salary is largely in excess of J3.25 a week, that she never works more than rine hours in 24 and that she occa sionally works after 6 P. M. when busi ness demands. If the order of the Commission should be enforced. Miss Baker says that she would lose her position, and she objects to the order on the following premises: First, it deprives her of her property, labor and liberty without due process or any process of law; second, it denies her the equal protection of the law; third, it provides for taking her prop ertj wages and labor without Just or any compensation; fourth, it denies and deprives her of the right to have the reasonableness of the order Judicially reviewed or determined; fifth, the Leg islature, In passing the minimum wage law and creating the Industrial Wel fare Commission, has attempted, to delegate to the Commission and the conferences which It may call legisla tive power that can only be exercised by the Legislature Itself. Miss Baker sets forth that her repu tation and acquaintance In her present position are of value to her employer and herself; hence, to deprive her of her position, by virtue of the Commis sion's order, would be unconstitutional, as outlined in her specific objections. She calls attention to the fact that girls and women In other lines are permitted to work longer than eight hours and 20 minutes, and after CP. M. The demurrer filed by attorneys for the Commission in the suit filed by Frank C. Stettler will be argued in Circuit Judge Cleeton's court Friday morning. v SALEM MAX BLAMES GARB Retail Grocers' Association Indorses "Work of Welfare Commission. "Tight corsets and scarcity of cloth ing do more than low wages and long hours to Injure the morals of women," said John L. Stockton,, of Salem, at a meeting of the Portland Retail Gro cers' Association last night, at which the noble work of the Industrial Wel fare Commission" was unanimously In dorsed. Mr. Stockton, who is president of the Oregon Retail Merchants' Association, spoke in response to Father Edwin V. O'Hara, chairman of the Industrial Welfare Commission, who explained the commission's recent rulings and their Intended effects to the grocers. "My mother worked from G o'clock in the morning until 9 o'clock at night, she reared ten children and lived to the good old age of 82," said Mr. Stock ton. "Long hours and night work didn't hurt the women of her day." He said he spoke from experience. "If those corsets that you speak of." replied Father O'Hara, "are so hard on women I should think you'd quit selling them." Father O'Hara explained that the rulings of the commission prohibiting women working in mercantile estab lishments after 6 o'clock had been made upon suggestion of a committee of employers. "It was a question of what was rea sonable," he said. "I don't say that 7 o'clock or 7:30 is unreasonable, but I know that 9:30 and 9:15 are unreasonable. Such hours are not conducive to the health and well-being of women. Many girls who work in the stores live out in the country. They have to walk from 10 to 20 blocks from the car. It Isn't reasonable for them to go home at 10 or 11 o'clock at night." Touching upon the suit recently brought by a manufacturer to test the constitutionality of the minimum wage law. Father O'Hara simply explained that if the law is found unconstitu tional "the procedure will be to change the constitution. "It is a question of human right3 against private greed. If the state constitution is opposed to the restric tion of greed, then we'll have to amend the constitution. "This argument that some women are not worth more than a certain amount is all nonsense when that amount is less than sufficient to keep them comfortable and decent. "Every woman, and every man, who works for a living Is entitled to enough to pay for the proper amount of food, shelter and -clothing. That Is what the commission is for to see that the women get It." Ex-Senator Jonathan Bourne, Jr., addressed the meeting on the subject of "Good Roads" OFFICIALS IH SPAT Governor West and Engineer Lewis Have Row. HARPER COMPANY CAUSE Executive Would Ask Federal Gov ernment to Cancel Order With drawing Land From Settle ment for Reversion. SALEM, Or., Oct 28. (Special.) The controversy between Governor West and State Engineer Lewis was con tinued this afternoon at a meeting of the Desert Land Board, when the Gov ernor accused virtually the other state official of being derelict In duty. Mr. West called attention to the project of the Harper Basin Irrigation Company in Malheur County and an nounced that he favored asking the Federal Government to cancel the or der withdrawing the land from settle ment, and to have it revert to the pub. lio domain. Mr. Lewis said the company had de posited $595 to prove Its good faith and declared that the money should not be forfeited until the company had an opportunity to tell what It intended doing. The Governor asked Mr. Lewis what he knew of the work of the com pany, and was told that Mr. Lewis knew little as regards details and did not believe there was a sufficient sup ply of water for the land. "That's sufficient; let's cancel it," said the Governor. Mr. Lewis insisted -upon the company being given a hearing. "That's the trouble with you, Lewis," continued the Governor. "You always want to investigate. Why delay this matter? The company began operation in 1909 and you should have submitted complete reports as to its progress to this Board. It's your duty to submit these reports. I want a report on this company now." Secretary of State Olcott urged that the discussion of the proposition be postponed until the next meeting. Mr. Lewis explained that the work of his office kept him busy and that it took time to make reports of various Irri gation propositions. The Governor declared that he not only wanted a report on the Harper Basin Irrigation Company at the next meeting, but on all similar concerns. He said he did not believe that the Board should allow concerns "which do irrigation only on paper to continue unless they can give assurances that they intend to do the work."

Oregon Butter and Cheese Makers Discuss Effect of Tarirf on Dairy Industry. TILLAMOOK. Or., Oct. 28. (Special.) At the annual convention of the Ore gon Butter and Cheesemakers, Associa tion, the morning session today was taken up with the discussion on two papers, the first by L. P. Holgersen, of Junction City, on "Quality," and the second by Deputy Dairy and Food Com missioner L. B. Ziemer, on "Factory In spection." President Townsend took exception to the Oregon brand being placed on poor butter, while Mr. Ziemer opposed him, giving as his reason that it was hard to discriminate because butter might be in good condition when made and If kept too long not up to standard when sold. G. M. Lamber, United States Dairy Department inspector, pointed out what the Dairy Department was doing. Adam Schmelzer, of Tillamook, read a paper on "Butter Fat and Cheese Yield," which created considerable dis cussion, indicating that the yield was greater in Tillamook than in the East. Carl I-Iaberlach's subject was "Dairy Development In Tillamook County,'" after which A. H. Lea complimented Tillamook cheese, but said he thougnt that the tariff would cause a reduction in price as large amounts of cheese and butter were being shipped in. The Tillamook Commercial Club gave a banquet to the association this even ing and tomorrow the visitors will be taken for automobile rides through the county. The following awards were made In the butter and cheese contest: Butter M. W. Rasmussen, Sunset Creamery, Portland, 96; J. C.

TRAINING SCHOOL IS HIT PROSECUTOR WOULD NOT SEND BOY THERE, HE SAYS, D. II. Upjohn, of Dallas, Declares Institution Is Breeding Place for Criminals and Disgrace. DALLAS, Or., Oct. 2S. (Special.) "Unless It Is absolutely imperative, no boy should be sent to the State Train ing School. I do not wish to crltlclso tho management of that Institution. It is as good as it possibly could be uti der the conditions which it is forced to face. But the system which has long been established there is one that breeds criminals rather than reforms young boys, and should not bo tolerat ed In an Intelligent state." The above statement was made by Prosecuting Attorney D. H. Upjohn as the result of the release of Frank Beardslsy, charged with stealing a rifle from the Dallas Moat Company. Provision was made by County Judgo Teal for the return of the boy to his home in Portland. , Speaking further of the condition of the state institution. Attorney Upjohn raid: "Herded together like cattle, all the vices that could possibly be attained by a younger boy are Imparted to those coming In. Saveral years ago the most enlightened students of the wayward boy began establishing what is known as- the "cottage plan' for the care of incorrlgibles and it has proved so prow flcient that the system used in the State Training School is not only anti quated, but in the minds of those who) have studied work among boys. It is almost barbaric "The present State Training School, so far as the Bystem upon which It is founded is concerned, is and I believe I say advisedly ar. unqualified dis grace to the state, and as long as I can avoid it I hope never to be a party to committing some boy to undergo the terrors which may await him there." From the time of the earliest Egyptian, Phoenician, Greek, and Roman physicians straight down to the present day, mineral waters have been considered the oldest and ablest curatives known. Standing alone in its class, the high regard in which WHITE ROCK WATER is held by the doctors of today is attested by its enormous sale. 1
