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.

MRS. 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
