THE MORNING OREGONIAN. THURSDAY, JULY 2, 1914 14 PORTLAND BUS ESS MEN MY WEI, 4 T0 1 Chamber of Commerce Straw Ballot Not Official, but Opinion of Members. VOTE STANDS 470 TO 111 685 of 800 Members Express Views on Statewide Prohibition Many Large Cities Take Similar Action Officially. More than four to one against was the vote of business men of Portland expressed In the straw ballot of the members of the Portland Chamber of Commerce, which was canvassed yes terday morning by the board of trus tees of that body. A total of 685 votes was cast, out of a. membership of 860. Four ballots were blank. 111 were in favor of state wide prohibition and 470 against state wide prohibition. The vote was. held at the request of members of the Chamber themselves, who desired to ascertain the attitude of the repre sentative business men of the city as a whole on the subject. It plalntly was announced yester day that this vote does not represent any official position taken by the Chamber as a body, but Is simply a canvass of the lndlviauai opinions ui the business men who make up the organization. Many Cities) D Likewise. The Portland Chamber of Commerce is only one of half a dozen or more prominent chamDers in me milieu States in which straw ballots recently have been taken on the prohibition question, although the results in other cities have been announced as the of ficial attitude and definite resolutions of protest against prohibition have been adopted. The movement In Portland was started Immediately following the ac tion of the San Francisco Chamber of Commerce. The referendum vote in the San Francisco body was 1187 to 41 against prohibition and the chamber issued and published resolutions broad cast, strongly urging the defeat of the proposed California prohibition amend ment In the November elections. California Millions at Stake. Similar resolutions, worded even more definitely and strongly, were adopted and sent out by the Los An geles Chamber of Commerce. In these resolutions It was maintained that the enactment of the California prohibi tion amendment would amount to the confiscation of an industry in which several hundred millions of dollars are Invested. It points out that the state for years has systematically and directly en couraged the people to plant grapes and make wine and to develop the viticulture Industry to the fullest pos sible extent, and that now there are 60,000 people and 340,000 acres of land Involved In the Industry, which repre sented an income in the state last year of $26,175,000. Other commercial bodies In California contemplate similar ac tion, urging the defeat of the prohibi tion amendment in that state. Prior to the action of the Portland Chamber of Commerce members, the Milwaukee Chamber of Commerce adopted resolutions urging the defeat of the proposed Federal prohibition bill. A similar resolution was adopted officially by the Chamber of Commerce, of St. Paul, Minn. Many protests were sent the Port land chamber when it was found that the straw ballot was to be taken, urg ing that the plan be abandoned. For that reason It was decided better to make the action represent the indi vidual opinion of the members instead of the official attitude of the organization.

Girls Want Places In Offices and Are Slow to Accept Care of Chil dren or Invalids, Since the innovation of the employ ment department for school attendants during vacation a week ago by Mrs. E. J. Clinton, of the School Superin tendent's office, hundreds of boys and girls have filed applications for posi tions. About 60 have been placed in positions. "We have an unusually large demand for girls to act as governesses for chil dren or to care for old and infirm peo ple," said Mrs. Clinton yesterday, "but many of the girls who have filed for positions do not like that kind of work. The majority of them want positions in offices. Several high school girls have asked for employment as typists and stenographers. "Most of them will work for small salaries vto "gain experience. Some have completed two or three-year courses in the commercial department. There Is little demand for girls to do domestic work, which Is surprising. I had ex pected the majority of requests would be for servants. "Several boys have asked for work In offices as errand boys or as clerks, and to date I have had but two or three calls for that kind of work from employers." Some of the positions asked for by boys are outlined in the following: Work on a farm, chores, learning auto mobile repairing, machinist apprentice, errand boys, clerks, apprentice phar macist, teaming, driving automobile or delivery truck, office boys.
