WINDOW OF Ol R TKMPOHAItV ANNKX" HEW CODE OPPOSED Owners of Large Buildings Protest Proposed Change. EXTRA FIRE HAZARD CITED and sharing- in the valued districts created by the expenditure of millions of dollars where the owners were obllKed to construct under the present lire-proof code. "Some Insurance agents claim that this wood construction work although equipped with sprinkler system would have a tendency toward higher rates of insurance eventually on all buildings than it they were class A construction. Therefore, it would seem unwise to dis courage the start we have already made ir. building structures that compare with other cities on the coast by not protecting these Investments by the continuation of the law under which they were constructed." CRITIC IS ANSWERED C. Lewis .Mead Declares Erection of Cheaper Structures Unfair to Those V. ho Have Complied With Stricter Requirement. Owners of larse buildings are up in arms against the proposal of the city's building code revision committee to let clown the bars so as to permit one and two-story buildings of mill construc tion within the business districts of Portland. A petition protesting against the change has been circulated by C. Lewis Mead and has been signed by ow ners of many large buildings. The law now requires fireproof con struction. It is proposed to amend It so that the interior of one and two Ktory structurs can be built of wood. The building owners declare that this not only is unfair to them but it is a step backward in the plan to make the city safe from a fire standpoint. The proposition will be taken before the Realty Board at a meeting this morning at which the subject will be thoroughly discussed. "We contend that such a change would be a step backwards," said C. Lewis Mead yesterday. "It would be detrimental to the up-building of a progressive Portland. "The present restricted district is comparatively small, comprising about fio blocks, where most of the better buildings have been erected complying with the lire-proof code, and at this time it would be unjust to change the law permitting the erection of these cheaper buildings adjoining class A. BULL RUN MAP IS MADE Entire Watershed Shown on Relief Chart to Be Sent to Fair. A relief map showing the Bull Run water supply system has been pre pared in the oflice of the District United States forester. It is on the scale of one inch to a mile, and shows the entire watershed, representing 30 miles on each side. One of these relief maps, accompa nied by an explanatory card, will be shipped immediately to the Oregon ex hibit at the Panama-Pacific Exposition at San Francisco. The other will be placed in. the forestry station on Larch Mountain. By referring to the map and the explanatory card, the observer will understand at a glance the topo graphical features to be seen in pano rama from Larch Mountain.

SCH0FF IS DEFENDED Congress of Mothers Resolutions on Child Labor Upheld and Its Head Is Held No Traitor to Child Welfare Cause. The statements made by Mrs. Flor ence Kelley, general secretary of the Consumers' League, who took exceptions- to the resolutions adopted at the recent convention of the National Con gress of Mothers, have aroused the indignation of Mrs. Robert Tate, one of the vice-presidents of the National Congress of Mothers. "Mrs. Frederic Schoff, our president, is not a traitor to the cause of child welfare," said Mrs. Tate yesterday, "and it is not right to say the Con gress of Mothers is letting 'down the bars.' "The National Congress of Mothers and Parent-Teacher Associations stand for "child welfare." Reaction Is Feared. "We are practical and we' feel there must be a reaction from too stringent child labor laws that are enforced upon all alike without the use of any discretion. "For instance, here If a widowed mother has an able-bodied boy a few months younger than 16 years and if he is able and willing to work to help his mother, he cannot do so. I con sider the Oregon law too stringent. Discretionary power should be used in cases. Much depends on the individual and the home represented. As it is here, the Child Labor Commission is arbitrary. "The present law says that a child must finish the seventh grade before a certificate can be issued. In many rural districts school is in session only six months. The effort to increase this pericd to eight months was de feated at the last Legislature. Many an able boy cannot get through hi3 seventh grade by the time he should be allowed to work in vacation. 'Widowed Mother Suffers." "Often a widowed mother has to ac cept charity through the conditions arising by the fine lines drawn In granting certificates allowing the boys to work. Wouldn't work be far better for a big. healthy boy than idleness? Thrift and industry and usefulness cannot be encouraged when a Com mission has such sway. "There is only one other state be sides Oregon Louisiana) that issues child labor certificates, as is the cus tom and rule here. In all large cities these certificates are issued by the Board of Education, -which, through its teachers, is better qualified to judge whether or not the child should be given work. "The Congress of Mothers is not alone in its belief that children who are well grown should be allowed to do some work, but the congress is firm in its stand for the welfare of the child. It is directly opposed to allowing little children to work where there is danger to health, to morals or to the gaining of educational ad vantages. Reiiolutlons Are F.xplalned. "In those resolutions which Mrs. Kel ley attacked so bitterly, we showed our good faith toward the little people, who are pur first thought and care. We state that our principles are that children be prevented from being em ployed where there is danger to health and character; we ask that employ ment certificates be given by the edu cational authorities after a certificate from the physician has shown the child's mental and physical fitness; we advocate provision for prosecution of parents or educational authorities who abuse the discretionary power. Mrs. Tate quoted Dr. P. P. Claxton United States Commissioner of Educa tion, as having said. "We must protect children against exploitation and against overwork in factories, mills, shops and mines; but it is just about as necessary to find them some suitable employment. I do not believe it is poS' sible to educate a child who does not have -some purpose for productive work. It is good for them spiritually, morally and physically." Judire Lindsay Quoted. Judge Ben Lindsay was quoted as saying. There is always hope for the boy who works, especially the boy who likes to work." Mrs. R. E. Boniiurant, whois a mem ber of the widows' pension committee, and has had wide experience working among the families of the widows un der her charge, says: "I heartily in dorse the resolutions of the National Congress of Mothers. There should be discretionary power granted. There ia none now. Many a big boy. behind in his classes, begs to be allowed to work and help his mother. He may be a man in size and strength, but he is not al lowed to work. As a consequence, he Plays truant, is taken to the detention home, gets Into bad habits and his mother is left to charity." Mrs. Trom-J null, tne secretary of the Child Labor Commission here, will not grant a certificate for that boy to work. School Teachers Agree. "I see no reason why the Congress of Mothers should not pass the resolutions they did. It was time something should be done. The school teachers 1 have talked with believe as 1 do. The so cial workers know that things here are wrong. Of course I am strongly op posed to child labor, with its cruelties and dreadful features, but. 1 repeat, we must get on a basis where some dis cretion is used." Mrs. Florence Kelley. whose criticism of Mrs. Frederic Schoff and the Con gress of Mothers has created the stir among members of the organization, was the honored guest at a luncheon given by the Professional Women's League. She made the statement that Mrs. Schoff was a traitor to child labor and that the organization of whicn Mrs. Schoff is president had let down the. bars for child labor. She made these statements when told by Mrs. Millie R. Trumbull, secretary of the Oregon Child Labor Commission, that the National Congress of Mothers had adopted resolutions opening the way lor a certain amonnt of child labor. sum on a mortgage which is standing against the property.
