SELF-INTEREST .INTIMATED SSccrclary of Consumers' League De clares Kcsolution "Letting Dowu Bars'' for Children In Shops Is Act of False Friend. 'There are no enemies so terrible as false friends. Mrs. Frederic Schoff has been a traitor to child welfare." So said Airs. Florence Kelley. general sec retary of the Consumers' League, yes terday, when told of the resolutions that had been adopted at the recent convention of the National Congress of Mothers held here. Her indignation was directed toward the president of this organization. Mrs. Kelley was the truest of honor at the luncheon given by the Profes sional Woman's League in the Hotel Benson. She had just completed an in teresting address on the work of the Consumers' League, when Mrs. Millie Trumbull asked her what she thought of the action of the "mothers" in "let ting down the bars" regarding the em Dlovment of children. The'league which Mrs. Kelley represents is striving to secure legislation that shall keep lit tle children from working in factories, swetshops, canneries and other places that endanger their health, morals and opportunities for education, i Actio Dubbed "tnnpeakable." "It is unspeakable to think that an organization wlti such a fetching name as national congress oi Alotners and Varent-Teacher Associations' should block the progress we are trying to gain. I was at one time a member of this congress." said Mrs. Kelley, "but 1 resigned because of the insistance of Mrs. Schoff to let down the bars and open the way for children to labor in factories. I will tell you that I am ashamed of Mrs. Frederic Schoff, who is from my home slate, Pennsylvania. Her family has curtain factories, and In them are employed children. Her fight has been against the work of the Consumers' League. Through the or ganization she heads and through the Association for I.abor Legislation of New York, both false friends, we have lost ground." Mrs. Kelley's words created a de cided stir among her hearers. She urged the teachers who are connected In name with the Congress of Mothers to protest against those resolutions. If the suggestions made after Mrs. Kel ley's talk are carried out the question will come up before the National Edu cational Association at Its convention in Oakland In August and before many other organizations. Resolutions Cause Stir. The principles suggested by the Con gress of Mothers, which were the cause of the expressed indignation of Mrs. Kelley were these: Safe Occupation Fen. The Consumers' League contends that ever so many occupations termed "not dangerous" are in reality bad in re- ults and that children snouia oe ae- barred from them. Mrs. Kelley ex plained that in some states everything is safe, except working In a sawmill. Miss Blanche Luckey presided at the luncheon in the absence of the presi dent, Mrs. Susie Fennell Pipes, who Is in the Kast. Mrs. Kelley spoke in the afternoon at a large meeting at the home of Mrs. V. J. Hawkins, 571 Myrtle street. Presidents of nearly all the women's clubs In the city and leaders In wom- ens' activities were among those who heard the distinguished speaker. She said that last Summer she made elabo rate preparations to convert the Con gressional Union for Woman's Suf frage and when she went to their meetings and studied the facts she her self was converted and is now a mem ber of their advisory board. She had always been a strong advocate for uni versal suffrage, but until she learned facts she had not accepted the method of holding the party in power respon sible. - President's Attitude Assailed.' "Mr. Wilson, as a man, I admire for many of his qualifications," said Mrs. Kelley, "but his attitude toward women who want suffrage is intolerable. For 67 years some of the Eastern women have worked for suffrage. The Presi dent went to Pennsylvania to talk to 4000 newly naturalized citizens and he spoke well, but he will not -even re ceive a petition from the 'women, the Intelligent, well educated Women, who ask for the privilege that is given to men of every type, bad and ignorant as well as good and able. The women of the West have this privilege. We come to you with hands outstretched, plead ing for your help. -Will you give us a little help?" . . Miss Virginia Arnold and Mrs. Haw kins made brief addresses. In the morning Mrs. Kelley addressed a large gathering of students at Reed College with "Third-Class Children of the Republic'.' as her .subject. At the Library a crowd of several hundred greeted Mrs. Kelley. Her sub ject for the closing address was "Courts ana - Consumers. She dealt with the struggles for legislation that should protect the consumer and the workers. In all her addresses Mrs. Kelley men tioned the official label of the "Con sumers' League" as the badge that in sured right conditions of manufacture for the article sold and a safe value for the purchaser. , She left at midnight for San Fran cisco. While here Mrs. Kelley was the guest of Mrs. W. B. Ayer, who enter tained at dinner for the visitor, asking a few prominent men and women ats additional guests.

All performances at The Oaks Amusement Park, that have been sus pended since Sunday by John F. Cord ray, managing director, owing to the Inclement weather conditions, will be resumed in full tonight, rain or shine. The park practically will reopen for the season. There will be complete band concerts, a full programme by the Boston Troubadours and other free attractions. "For 25 years, to my knowledge, the rain jinks has hovered over every one Of my enterprises," said Mr. Cord ray. "This business of being meek and mild must end somewhere, so now I shall defy Dame Nature and perhaps I shall have better luck. "I have this consolation. The rain has done wonders for the lawns and flower-beds at The Oaks. I believe there never has been a year in which our great banks of rnododendrons have looked so beautiful, and while the rain has injured the roses a little, in a day or two they will be more beautiful than ever. The gardener tells me that with only one or two exceptions, he has specimens of al most every known variety of rose either growing or ready for transplant ing, in The Oaks." The automobile road into The Oaks has been repaired, and with the excep tion of a brief stretch from Spokane avenue there Is a hard-surface road all the way from Portland. Left to Right.
