Sir Henry Luce Sees in Old
Commission Report Solu
tion of British Problem.
CHARITY NOT DESIRABLE
Features Cited- Are That Work Could
Be Done in Winter by Unskilled
Labor and State Would Be
Well Recompensed.
' BY SIR HENRY LUCY.
LONDON, Sept. 28. While reliant on
the protection of her far-flung battle
ships and proud of the army now in
France, the country is conscious of a
battle that must be fought at home, its
prolongation coincidental -with that into
which the German Emperor, to his own
dire peril, has wantonly plunged Eu
rope. So deeply rooted are the faith
and hope of England fighting: in a just
cause, that after momentary tendency
towards panic, confidence is restored
and trade begins to approach the nor
mal level of its affluence, but, as is rec
ognized everywhere, there are hard
times ahead. The munificent response
to the Prince of Wales' appeal for a
national relief fund will do much to
comfort the lot of the wives and fam
ilies of men who have taken their
places In the fighting line by sea or
land. The trouble remains with hun
dreds of thousands who will be thrown
out of work by the inevitable shrink
age of trade.
What is to be done for them? Doubt
less when the pinch comes the British
public, ever generous, will put its
bands in its other pocket and raise a
relief fund as was done 50 years ago
when, as a consequence of another war,
a cotton famine closed the mills of
Lancashire. That will be kind, and as
a supplementary agency will be of
appreciable assistance, but what the
working man wants is not charity, but
employment, not eleemosynary meat or
money, but the opportunity of earning
them.
Relief Plan Recomoiemded.
Happily there is ready to hand a
scheme at onee practical, financially
sound, and by its operations presenting
opening for healthy, remunerative
work not handicapped by the essential
condition of skilled labor. Some years
ago there was appointed a royal com
mission to inquire into the condition
of the unemployed. A special instruc
tion directed them to consider the ex
pediency of making an experiment In
afforestation as. a means of increasing
employment during periods of depres
sion in the labor market. Personally
the commission was exceptionally
strong, being composed of men of vari
ous shades of political opinion and of
diverse experience in public affairs.
They unanimously arrived at the con
clusion that afforestation is not only
desirable from more than one point of
views, but is practicable.
The approximate area of land avail
able in the United Kingdom for this
purpose Is 9.000,000 acres. The com
mission recommended that in order to
secure a sustained yield of timber, un
der the best system of rotation, 150.000
acres should be afforested annually.
This would afford temporary employ
ment for 18,000 men during the Winter
months. An almost equal number in
directly would derive employment in
the incidental and subsidiary occupa
tions connected with afforestry. As
each hundred acres of land at present
practically valueless is afforested per
manent employment would be found
for one man. Ultimately employment
connected with subsidiary industries,
such as the conversion and manipula
tion of the timber crop, would be avail
able for a considerable proportion of
the population.
Practicability Ik Demonstrated.
Regarding the project from a busi
ness point, of view, the commissioners
demonstrated its soundness. The an
nual cost of carrying it out to fullest
extent would be $10,000,000. They rec
ommend that the investment should be
financed by a loan, the interest de
frayed out of taxation. On the first
year the net deficit would be $450 000
rising progressively till in the 40th year
It would reach the sum of $15,656,250.
.After that period the forest would be
come not only self-supporting but revenue-producing.
After 80 vrara tho not
annual revenue of a forest of 9,000,000
acres, at present prices of timber
would be $87,500,000. In brief at the
"i"""1"" oi u years the state would
be in possession of a property worth
$2,810,000,000. or about $545,000,000 in
excess of the total cost involved in Its
uieauun. calculated at s per cent com
pound' interest.

"Two of our great department stores.

Penn. As the girls in the commercial
course devote their afternoons to prac
tical work at taking dictation, so the
salesmanship classes will take up reg
ular work In the department stores.
This work, for which the stores will
pay them, will be done under the su
pervision of the instructor,, and the
theoretic side of the subject will be
taught at the school."
Merchants are most enthusiastic In
expressing faith in the new course. Dr.
Wheeler said, as there Is always a need
of well-trained, competent saleswomen.
In time, he added, the course would
probably be so extended that a staff of
several teachers would be required.
Two years will be devoted to the sales
manship course; all girls eligible for
the commercial course are also free to
take up salesmanship.
e expect a rapid increase in tha
number of girls desirous of taking up

cause there are really wider and better
opportunities in this field than in the

MINIMUM LAW EXTENDS
Adolph Segal, Bankrupt In Parse and
Brain, to Go to Asylum After
Meteoric Career.
PHILADELPHIA, Sept. 24. Adolph
Segal, bereft of the keen mind that en
abled him to rise from the obscurity of
a soapmaker in a cellar factory to an
influential position in the world of
finance, probably will spend the re
mainder of his lite in a $7-a-week room
in the State Hospital for the Insane at
Norristown.
Literally a mental and financial
bankrupt, he will be taken to the asy
lum soon. The move was forecasted
last March, when Segal had a hearing
before a referee in bankruptcy. His
physicians at that time said he was
suffering from softening of the brain,
and that he was incompetent to testify.
It was not expected that he would
be placed in a public asylum, but the
reason for the selection of the Norris
town institution was explained on the
ground of lack of finances in the Segal
family. According to friends, the re
sources of Mrs. Segal and her son.
Berl, are such that Segal could not be
sent to a private sanatorium.
Segal was declared insane by Dr.
William H. Bunn, 528 North Twenty-
second street, who has been the fam
ily physician many years, and Dr.
Pierre N. Bergeron, chief of staff of
St. Joseph's Hospital, where Segal has
Deen under treatment several months.
After they had certified to Segal's
mental condition. Magistrate Call made
out the commitment papers.
Segal s career, now virtually ended
by the clouding of his mind, had been
both meteoric and tempestous. He rose
rapidly in the financial world, but
there was little smooth sailing for
him. At times his fortune mounted
into the millions, and again it dwin
dled. Until his mind began to fail
him he always managed to recoup his
losses and make even more daring ven
tures in finance.
The loss of the Hotel Majestic, which
he built and owned, was a severe blow
to Segal. The hotel went into a re
ceivership last year, and Segal into
bankruptcy. At the hearing before
Joseph Mellors, referee in bankruptcy.
segai asserted ms assets amounted
to 76 cents. His liabilities totaled
nearly $3,000,000.
Segal came to this country from
Austria. His first Job was tending a
soap caldron in a factory in the cellar
of a West Philadelphia house. After
several years he perfected a process
to wax paper, selling the patent for
$20,000. After that he invested and
speculated in various ways. He built
houses, apartment-houses and factories.
The Majestic was to have been his
crowning achievement, but, as events
proved, it spelled ruin for him, finan
cially and mentally.
While the Majestic was ncaring com
pletion, Segal, who had spent an enor
mous sum in a "social campaign," to
insure its success, was caught in a
trap laid for him by the sugar trust.
He had nipped the trust in a deal sev
eral years before, when he built a
sugar refinery for tbe sole purpose of
selling out to the combination, which
was spending large sums to stifle com
petition. Stung once, the trust was wary o(
Segal and watched his financial opera
tions. At the same time the Majestic
was going up Segal was also building
the Pensylvania Sugar Refinery, which
he planned to sell to the trust, like
the other. Money for the latter proj
ect had been secretly advanced by
Frank K. Hippie, president of the Real
Estate Trust Company. Segal needed
more money. for the Majestic. An agent
ot tne trust advanced him more than
$1,000,000, but in so doing obtained 51
per cent of the stock of the refinery.
segal s only hope to pay back the
money to the trust company and the
trust was to operate the refinery, but
tne trust closed it. The crash of the
Real Estate Trust Company followed,
and Hippie killed himself.
Isadore Stern, counsel for Segal, said
he believed the financier's present con
dition is due to the strain of appearing
before the referee in bankruptcy. "Had
he been spared that," said the lawyer,
"he might have had an opportunity 1o
regain nis mental balance.
Recommendation Is to Put 75 Per
Cent of Cannery Piece Help Un
der Lowest-Wage Act Over
time Work Considered.
Time and piece-work checks showing
the number of hours worked and the
money earned every day must be given
all employes, and 75 per cent of the
piece-rate workers will come under the
minimum wage law, in all canneries In
the state, if the recommendations
adopted Wednesday night by a confer
enc ecalled by the Industrial Welfare
Commission are accepted. Commissioner
A. M. Smith will be out of the state and
the public hearing will not be held for
several weeks after the four weeks'
limit has expired, announced Father E.
V. O'Hara, chairman, last night.
For the first time since the Commis
sion was appointed, recommendations
were made without unanimous vote. W.
S. Allen of Salem, one of the represen
tatives of the employers, voted "No" on
the two recommendations mentioned.
More Overtime Approved.
'The conference also made the rec
ommendation that, if found necessary
after investigation, fruit-evaporating
plants might be allowed, in certain in
stances, to employ women at night, in
exception to the law prohibiting the
employment of women after 8:30 P. M.,
and would increase overtime allow
ance to 60 hours a week.
The minimum wage law was made
effective for expr.-ieneed time-workers
by fixing the term of experience nec
essary at one year, and the ruling last
night would make the same law ef
fective on piece-workers by classing
75 per cent of the adult women work
ers as experienced. This furnishes ma
chinery by which the minimum law
may be made operative with regard to
piece-workers.
The conference was that called by
the commission to investigate the fruit
and vegetable canning industry in Ore
gon, and it was at last night's meeting
that reports of the members were
heard.
The first report was from Mrs. L. E.
Daniels, Mrs. William Addis and Miss
Rose Harrington, of the employes rep
resented, upon the proper height of
tables and stools used. This was con
sidered already covered by other state
laws and no action was urged.
Standarlzatlon Is Ordered.
The employers represented reported
that uniformity of rates was Impracti
cable and recommended that it be re
quired only that records of work for
six months back be kept available for
investigation at any time.
A meeting of the commission had
been held yesterday afternoon at which
this report, which already had been
submitted, was discussed, and Father
O'Hara said the commission would not
consider the adoption of this recom
mendation "for a minute."
"The standardization may be imprac
ticable, but it was not thought keeping
a record was all that could be done,"
he said.
The employers" committee was com
posed of J. O. Holt, of Eugene, J. F.
Stangel, of Woodburn, and W. S. Al
len, of Salem.
The public representatives were Mrs.
A. M. Wilson, J. C. English and A. M.
Churchill.

CZAR TO KEEP DRINK OUT
EDICT AGAINST VODKA IS COKTIX-
IBD INDEFINITELY.
Order Declared Based on Improved
Condition of Country During;
Period of Prohibition.
PETROGRAD, via London. Oct. 1.
Minister of Finance Bark received to
day an order to the effect that the pro
hibition of the sale of vodka shall be
continued indefinitely after tbe war.
This order is based principally on the
tremendously improved condition of
the country since the Emperor issued
the edict prohibiting -traffic In this
liquor.
Visitors arriving from Southern
Russia say there is such a change in
that region that the country is hardly
recognizable. Peasants who before the
war had fallen into hopeless indolence
and depravity already have emerged
into sell-respecting citizens. The ef
fect on character is already visible in
neatly brushed clothes instead of the
former ragged and slovenly attire.
Huts which formerly were dilapidated
and allowed to go without repairs are
now kept in first-class condition.
The towns have become more order
ly and the peasants indulge in whole
some amusements. .These people now
save as per, cent oi their earnings
which formerly tlieV spent for drink.
and they have increased their earning
capacity through sobriety. This extra
money Is now devoted to the neces
saries and comforts of life. -
This startling regeneration of the
peasantry, in the opinion of the Rus
sian authorities, is likely to have an
important effect on the social and
economic conditions of all Russia.
A change in the large cities is also
noticeable. Liquor still is sold in first
class cafes, but these are practically
empty. The Nevsky Prospect, once fa
mous for its gay midnight life, is now
quiet and without sign of revelry.
AUSTRIA HEARS OF VICTORY
Peasants Believe Germans Have Al
ready Taken Furls.
VENICK. via Paris, Oct. 1. The
Vienna papers daily are publishing re
ports ot uerman and Austrian suc
cesses in the western and eastern thea
ters of war.
The Neues Weiner Journal declares
that the German troops are going on
from victory to victory and that the
great French army soon will be forced
to retreat before the resistless Ger
man advance. In the Austrian prov
inces the press is even more optimis
tic, especially in East Austria, where
the Slav Journals print such extraor
dinarily glowing reports that the peas
ants believe the Germans already are
in Paris.
Lately the educated classes in Aus
tria are beginning to show signs of
dissatisfaction at the lack of reliable,
definite news. The women especially
are demanding to know what-has hap
pened to their men folks. The news
paper authorities are trying to pacify
them with the explanation that it is
difficult to obtain exact news from tha
battlefields and urge them to have pa
tience. Some public demonstrations
are reported to have occurred in
Vienna of the Gratz.

lie said, because the constructing com
panies can obtain no money from their
home offices. As a result, thousands
of men are out of work.
The writer suggests that the business
men of Philadelphia, through the Cham
ber of Commerce, take steps immedi
ately to open markets with South
American cities, because the banks
there cannot now give proper facilities
for doing business with the states.
If those who wish to sell will at tha
same time provide buyers for South
American products, he declares, bene
ficial results will soon follow. Mr.
Smith thinks there should be more
ships flying the American flag. He
thinks that the English and German
merchant marines, as far as South
America is concerned, are out of bust

An opportunity to secure cheaper
meat is also pointed out by the writer.

Intense Suffering Which
Remedy Stopped..
Mrs. A. Gerdes, residing at SO East
Third street North, is now free from
suffering caused by rheumatism. she
gives the credit of her recovery, to
Akoz, the wonderful California medici
nal mineral. She says about her case:
"Sciatic rheumatism extending from
the spine down through the limbs to
the ankles, together with lumbago,
caused me excruclaing suffering for
four years. Every remedy J heard of
I gave a. trial. Besides not giving me
any relief the medicines I took left
my stomach in a bad condition. I
started on the Akoz treatment with
some misgiving, but after the pains
had been lessened in a few days I had
faith in the remedy and continued
with them. After a month's use I
feel practically cured. No more pains,
stomach toned up. appetite excellent and
entire system benefited. The Akoz in
stead of injuring the stomach has cor
rected all the ill effects of the med
icines I have taken in the past. I
can highly recommend Akoz."
