THE MORNING- OREGONIAN, WEDNESDAY, APRTU 22. 1914. BOARD OF CONTROL AND HOFF AT WAR Commissioner Charged With Acting Foolishly in 8-Hour Law Enforcement. COURT RULING IS CITED he was could take an no Employment or linginecrs and 1-Ure-mcn at State Institutions More Than 48 Hours a Week Is i. Cause of Difference. SALEM. Or., . April 21. (Special.) War virtually was declared today be tween the Mate Board of Control and Labor Commissioner Hoff when the Board in replv to a statement of the Commissioner that the eight-hour law, as interpreted by the Supreme Court to apply to engineers and firemen at iri.it it 11 Hons was not being ob served, informed him that "at-tlnsr foolishly." and whatever action he pleased. : Mr. Hoft construed parts of the reply as discourteous, and said he would see to it that engineers and firemen at the institutions worked only eight hour6 a day and only six days a week. "I have to enforce the law as it ap plies to individuals and private con cerns," continued the Commissioner, -even if It breaks them up, and it must be enforced as it applies to .mihlln institutions. For the life of me j cannot see the use of getting onininn from the highest court If attention is to be paid to it. Personal Investigation Made. 'It was reported to me that the en gineers and firemen at the institutions were working longer hours than the law provides, and 1 made an investiga tion. I found that the engineers .and .remcn at the State Insane Asylum were working only eight hours a iay. but were working seven aays a ween, i 3 also found that the law was being violated in other state institutions and so notified the Board, believing it to be my duty to do so." "It is possible that in acting contrary to the great and combined wisdom of the Board of Control that I am acting foolishly: it is possible, as intended by the Board at this time of the year, that by doing what 1 consider my duty I Triajr irreparably injure my chances po litically, which possibly has been con sidered by the Board, but I unfortu nately possess no more wisdom nor any better regard for the state's finances than to believe that a law put upon the statute book, though it may cause the State of Oregon to borrow a small amount, perhaps JiOOO or $6000, for sev eral months, should not be any more exempt than private individuals who often, by the enforcement of the law, may lose money." Portions of a statement issued by the Board follow: "The Stato Board of Control is mak ing every effort consistent with good business and the best interests of the state institutions . to meet the unex pected situation presented by the La bor Commissioner's interpretation of the eight-hour law. Peculiar Situations Kxlst. ' "When' the measure wag before the f Legislature we were advised that it was' not intended to apply t6 instltu f -tional employes, otherwise amendments ' would have been uggested which would have taken care of certain peculiar sit uations which existed at the state in stitutions. "The Legislature took this view of the situation or it would have pro vided additional funds to cover the added labor cost. "The Board has ' adopted the eight- hour schedule, is making an earnest ' effort to comply with the law and is - meeting its requirements as far as the peculiar circumstances will permit." after a trial before a jury of five men and five co-ed fellow students. The penalties ranged from the revocation of credit in subjects already finished to the requirement that dishonest pu pils make grades higher than "C" throughout the remainder of their col lege career. Lane Renin, chief justice in the students' "honor court," gave a statement of the punishments decreed by the "court." Most of the penalties" were for "col lusion in quizzes" and in examinations. One ambitious writer in an English composition was accused of ''plagiar ism." "We made the students promise to make high scholarship grades for the rest of their time in the university," said a pretty co-ed Judge yesterday, "because the students had such con vincing stories and we thought that they should be given another chance. As we didn't want to let them off alto gether we set the high mark standard for them, because, goodness! It's hard, enough punishment Just to be required to get high marks." Another co-ed justice said that she thought it was "just fine" to be a judge, because she "learned so much of human nature." PLAYS "WHITE LISTED" CATHOLIC DIVIE TELLS FLOCK WHAT SHOWS ARE CLEAN.
