MRS. SGHOFF TARGET
Mrs. Kelley Assails Head of
Mothers' Congress.
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.
