Commission Holds Employment Of

Because the proprietor of Lewes &
Myers Employment Agency, at 224
Burnside street, posted a notice on the
bulletin board in front of that place
to the effect that the Government pro
posed to engage a large number of la
borers on the Celilo project and on the
strength of this notice sold tickets to
about 100 men to the scene of the pro
posed work, the City Commission yes
terday suspended the firm from busi
ness lor bo days.
Commissioner Bigelow recommended
that the concern's license be revoked.
The license was revoked, with the un
derstanding that it would be reissued
in 60 days.
The company contended that no jobs
were offered the men and that tgie
agency merely sold them steamer tick
ets, with the understanding that they
took their own chances on getting jobs.
The Council held that the notice posted
by the company was sufficient evidence
that the company misled the men into
believing that the work was available.

MUSICAL AID URGED
Club Representatives
Hear
Appeal for Orchestra
$4500 MORE IS WANTED
Backers or Project, at Luncheon,
Discuss Advantages That Accrue
From Maintenance of Ilig-h-est-Class
Organization.
Practically $4500 is yet desired by
the Portland Symphony Orchestra to
defray the expenses. of its rehearsals
and concerts for the season of 1914-15.
The sum originally aimed at was
$6000, and only $1500 has been pledged.
To discuss means to raise this bal
ance of $4500 a luncheon talks, was held
yesterday at the Hotel Benson by the
officers of the Portland Symphony Or
chestra, who had as their guests these
men representing business clubs of the
city: J. C. English, of the Rotary Club;
Charles F.' Berg, of the Portland Ad
Club; Jacob Kanzler, of the Progressive
Business Men's Club; R. W. Raymond,
of the Manufacturers' Association: W.
Merriman. of the Transportation Club,
and D. N. Mossessohn, of the Portland
Chamber of Commerce. No money was
actually raised at the meeting, but each
of the club representatives present
promised to bring the project before his
organization.
As the matter stands now, this ad
vertisement should be flashed over a
wide area:
WANTEEH-A donor, or donors, to Blve as a
loving gift $4500 to the fortiana ojra

Canary Trills for Musician.
There were around the luncheon ta
ble professional and amateur musi
cians of this city and business men
who were all invited beforehand.
One welcome guest was present, un
bidden. He was a golden-voiced canary
stationed in his cage near the window
where sat William T. Wheelwright,
honorary president of the Portland
Symphony Orchestra, and at the iden
tical moment when this speaker began
his introductory address, the canary
burst into Bong. It was significant of
two Portland singers, one of words, the
other of music.
The other significant incident was
voiced by Lewis R. Alderman, City Su
perintendent of Schools, who announced
that, as a surprising result of the
schoolchildren attending the rehearsals
of the Portland Symphony Orchestra,
Ladd Public School had been selected
by the School Board as a "music
school," to which all students attend
ing any public school in the city if
they show musical talent will be
transferred.
Many Voice Appeal for Aid.
Brief speeches were made by Mr.
Wheelwright, M. Christensen, Franck
G. Eichenlaub. Mrs. Tait business
manager of the orchestra and Carl
Denton all representing the Portland
Symphony Orchestra, in which appeals
for financial support for. the project
were made to the business men of
Portland. The chief reason urged was
the added educational values that have
accrued and will accrue to this city,
because of the high-class advantages
of these symphony concerts.
Emphasis was laid on the fact that
other cities in this country and Europe
possess symphony orchestras which
are supported by substantial g:fts or
grants by wealthy individuals or
through public taxation. The object
lesson Is that the Portland Symphony
Orchestra is supported altogether by
the voluntary contributions or sub
scriptions of its citizens.
It was reported that the expenses of
last year's symphony concerts amount
ed to $4915, just about equal to the re
ceipts and donations, and that each
member of the orchestra received as
his share of actual participation in the
concerts and rehearsals last year, the
sum of $1.50 for each event.
Patriotic Display Proposed.
Mr. V heelwnght proposed that, at
the conclusion of each symphouy coi?
cert, the orchestra should play and the
audience should sing one verse of
"America" or the "Star-Spangled
Banner."
E. B. Piper referred to the additional
educational advantages Portland has
received . through its symphony or
chestra concerts .and hoped the busi
ness men present- would take up as
their work the duty of presenting the
financial needs of the orchestra to the
organizations they represent.
Mr. Alderman followed in the same
vein, and voiced the value of the or
chestral rehearsals, and concerts ii
moulding the appreciation for first-
class music among the children attend
ing Portland schools. The proudest
moment in my. life, last year, pro
ceeded Mr. Alderman, "was when the
Superintendent of the Seattle Schools
attended, with me, a symphony rehear
sal, and said: 'Fine. Look at those
children. When I get back to Seattle
t will urge symphony concerts for Se
attle school children." Mr. Alderman
then told of the Ladd School incident.
. S10.000 Fund Proposed.
Mr. English thought that $10,000
yearly should be subscribed for the
symphony fund.
"Let's begin now? Who is the first
to subscribe?" asked Mr. Berg but
there was no silver or golden ring.
Mr. Raymond said that the finer edu
cational' culture of the life of Oregon
people, represented largely by the
Portland symphony concerts, should be
brought to the attention of Intending
settlers. He mentioned that one of the
films representing Oregon products,
made for the San Francisco exposition,
will include a picture of the musicians
of the Portland Symphony Orchestra.
In speaking of newspapers in gen
eral and their influence for good in the
community, Mr. Wheelwright said that
The Oregonian is "one of the great
newspapers of the world."
There was cordial applause.
WATER VOTE ORDERED
DALY PLA. TO BE ACTED IPOS AT
RECALL ELECTION.
Landlords Oppose Bleasnre, Deelarina; It
Is Only GlTlngr Encosragement
to ."Dead Beats."
By unanimous vote the City Commis
sion adopted a resolution yesterday re
ferring to the voters at the proposed
recall election, October 27, the question
of assessing water bills to property in
stead of to occupants of property. Al
though all members of the Council are
not in favor of the plan, all are willing
that the voters shall decide the Ques
tion. The ordinance -which is being referred
to the voters would make property
owners or landlords responsible for
water used by their tenants. If adopted
it will amount virtually to house own
ers raising their rent to cover the
amount of the water bill or exacting a
deposit from tenants to guarantee pay
ment of water bills. This will be neces
sary because the water rental will not
be collected in advance as at present.
but will be collected at the end of each
three months for the water used during
that time.
Commissioner Daly says the purpose
of the proposed plan is to cut down the
operating expense of the water depart
ment. He proposes, if the system is
adopted, to discontinue sending out
bills. This would reduce the clerical
cost of the department and the cost of
stationery and stamps. It would also
cut down the amount of work of in
spectors. Many property owners who opposed
the plan when it was brought up about
a year ago by Commissioner Daly and
defeated by the Council oppose the
plan now. It is contended that a per
son might move into a house and use
the water for two months and a half
without paying and then move out,
leaving the landlord to pay the water
bill.
Property owners contend that it is no
more proper to hold them for the water
rental of "dead beat" tenants than it is
to hold them for the grocery and meat
bills and other personal expenses of the
tenants. It is said that renting condi
tions in the city make it impossible to
increase rents, to cover the water bills,
and a system of exacting deposits to
guarantee payment of bills is not prac
tical. It is contended by property own
ers that the move will result In the
reduction of the expenses of the floating
population which contributes nothing
now for the upkeep of the city.

BABES SWARM TO SHOW
ESTIMATES PLACE JOOO LIKELY AT

Woi
of
Woodcraft Find Interest
Keen and Possibility That Every
District Will Be Represented.
That there will be more than 500
babies exhibited in the old-fashioned
baby show to be held in the Armory
October 31, during the progress of the
Manufacturers' and Land Products
Show; is the opinion of Mrs. E. T.
Hughes, who was a commissioner of
the land show, will have supervision of
this feature.
The baby show will be staged under
the auspices of the Women of Wood
craft. The various circles in the city
and suburbs are canvassing for babies.
with the result that many proud
mothers and fathers have agreed to
place their children in the contest.
"We will have babies from every
neighborhood in the city' said Mrs.
Hughes. "The applications are com
ing in by the dozens." she continued
"and I am wondering just what I will
do with 500 or 600 babies. At the rate
parents are offering the babies it would
be possible to have 1000 babies at the
land show.
"The Women of Woodcraft have taken
a great interest in the show and par
ents throughout the city are responding
quickly to the. invitation to bring their
children to the baby show."
The committee from the Women of
Woodcraft having the baby show feat
rue to look after held a special meeting
yesterday afternoon to Inspect the ap

PROPOSITION
No. 10
A. W. IAFFEHT1'.
Streetcar fares In Cleveland are only
cents, all the reports of newspapers
to the contrary notwithstanding. If
you wish to stop further drains upon
the great mass of the American people,
vote for re-election to Congress of a
man who has worked for the great
majority against the greedy few. Re
member that the total wealth of the
United States today is $120,000,000,000.
or $12,000 for each man, woman and
child, but that in reality 200,000 men
own 70 per cent of this wealth, leav
ing only 30 per cent for the remaining
99,800.000 people. In other words, two
tenths of 1 per cent of the population
now own 70 per cent of our total Na
tional wealth. If Congressmen who
dare to serve the public are to be cruci
fied by the public, then popular gov
ernment is a failure. Let not that be
tho dismal verdict of the forthcoming
Congressional election.
