W. Williams Confer Wtlh Slate
Office on Mailer Oregon De
clared Not Negligent.
SALEM. Or., Feb. I . (Special.) 8.
W. William. Assistant Attorney-Oen-ral
of the United States, held a long
conference here with Attorney-General
Brown today on tha question of the
Coos Bay wagon road land grant bill,
which la now pending In Congress. The
conference waa of a private nature and
considerable of the discussion waa not
divulged, i
However. Attorney-General Brown
tated after Mr. Williams had gone that
he will interest to the County Courts of
Doug-las and Coos counties, which are
Interested In the land arrant hill, that
they ask for conferences with Mr. Will
tarns to go over the matter thorousrtily.
and from this It Is leathered that the
Assistant Attorney-Oeneral sees some
hope for Oresron to receive Its share of
the money provided for In the original
bill, which la now held op on an adverse
report of a sub-committee of the pub
lic lands committee.
BUI Provides 1300.000.
The bill provides for approximately
ISOO.000 to flow Oregonwards, provided
It pauses Congress. The sub-committee
has reported adversely to the state be
ing given Its share provided for In the
act. on the ground that It showed neg
ligence In handling the matter.
it waa also pointed out today that
the fact the Nation la at war figured
largely in the sub-committee's attitude,
members of the committee intimating
that Instead of the money going to the
atate It should be diverted to the Gov
ernment to use for war purposes.
The Attorney-General stated that It
1 of great Importance to the state that
Congress. If possible, be made to aee
that the state has not been negligent In
handling the grant lands situation. The
grant question Is not only before Con
gress In the bill in question, he stated,
but la subject to litigation before the
Supreme Court.
I'nless Congress acta at this time. It
will be necessary to wait until the liti
gation Is decided by the high court and
then legislation would have to follow
by Congress. In event the controversy
was decided as the Oregon California
grant land casee were decided.
Facta te Be Pretested.
In the meantime the Attorney-General
haa called upon them and their
THstrlct Attorneys to prepare all the
facta possible to secure In the matter
for submission to the publio lands com
mittee. He has been advised by Repre
sentative Haw ley that, with due dili
gence the state will probably be able
to get Its showing In before the com
mittee before It makes Its final report
to Congress and hope Is expressed that
the showing may be of such a nature
as to cause the committee to report In
the bill In Its original form, carrying
the appropriation for the state, aa well
as providing that the counties should
be paid their taxes In foil.

cent, and Increased wages of 20
centr came another question.
"I aesume that the minimum wage
was fixed according to living conditions
of that time." anwered the chairman.
"At the present time my family and I
get along with many substitutes. The
exigencies of the times demand that
we all live on a closer basis."
"1 think that holds very well," In
terposed Professor Morgan, "wherever
you have anything above the minimum
but the minimum Is the minimum."
Elasticity la Advocated.
Either the first minimum wage was
fixed too high, argued others on this
line, or It must be held that living haa
not increased JO per cent. Members of
the committee again declared that pre
vailing conditions nullify this argu
ment, and that even a minimum wage
"1 want ;ry. decidedly." broke in FOOD OFFICIALS HELPLESS
Chaplain Frederic R. Howard, or uooa
Samaritan Hospital and the Seamen's
Institute, "that if llvlnr has Increased
30 per cent, then the minimum wage
should so Increase. I Is not only a
financial question it Is a moral question!"
Cost ef I-Wlag Argued.
As a clergyman. said Chaplain
Howard, he had found saddening and
conclusive proof of this latter state
ment that insufficiency of wages Is

quency. He believed sincerely tnai i rKASusco, Feb. zo. Officials
living expenses have Inereasea ai least i or the State Food Administration were
30 per cent, though Chairman cronaugn
had said that the committee did not
admit this arbitrary figure.
"I think I know something about the
Increase In living expenses!" exclaimed
Mrs. Sarah A. Evans, market Inspector
and prominent clubwoman. "They have
increased not only 80 per cent, but in
many Instances far more."
Glrla Fear ta Testify.
The committee signified Its willing
ness to bear testimony from working
girls on the subject of the minimum
wage and Mrs. Love, one of their rep
resentatlvea at the conference, shook
her head, smiling cynically.
"If any employes make statements."
said she, "1 would ask that the con
ference protect them, for several have
told me that they would lose their
jobs the very next morning, if they
testified."
This roused Adolpbe Wolfe, member
of the conference and for many yeara
one of Portland's largest merchants.
His voice was sharp and decided, and
an outbreak of applause followed his
declaration.
"Any employer that would resort to
anything of that sort la not fit to live
In Portland or any other city!" he
exclaimed.
Mrs. Love produced letters, written
to her by women workers at the min
imum wage. They were alike In ten
or, but varied In the degree of hard
ship expressed.
Letters Aee PlttfeL '
"For breakfast I have coffee, bread
and butter," ran one letter. At noon
I have a 25-cent dinner, and at night I
have a lunch. I am saving for a suit
just now. I only go to the picture

"Our clothing haa been very limit
ed." wrote another, "and we have to
sit on boxes to eat. as we have not been
able to buy furniture. My teeth need
fixing very badly, but 1 cannot have
them attended to."
Chairman Bronaugh directed atten
tion to the fact that thla worker has
dependents, and that the con

the practice of Sacramento farmers
who are feeding wheat to hogs instead
of barley.
Their lack of patriotism Vas de
nounced, but at the same time, the
State Food Administration acknowl
edged that It had no power under the
law to prevent farmers from feeding
their wheat to hogs or any other do
mestic animals so long as they grow
their own wheat. The only Instruc
tions in regard to this is that wheat
may not be sold for feeding poultry.
The Food Administration has no an
thority to fix the price of any cereal
other than wheat and such prices as
nave been fixed have been upon an
agreement among growers, dealers or
millers.
Changes In prices are constantly be
ing made even after such agreements
have been terminated. This Is due to
the farmer's Independence, so far as
price restrictions are concerned. Since
he may charge the miller whatever
price be chooses, all State Food Admin
lstratlona are energetically striving
for Congressional action to give them
the same authority over other cereals
aa they now have over wehat.
Sabatltateat to Coat More.
Until they have this authority, house
holders may expect to pay more for
the substitutes. In San Francisco all
flour substitutes, with the single ex
ception of corn meal, sell for more
than white flour.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 20. The full in
fluence of the Administration will be
used. If necessary, to prevent enact
ment of bills pending in Congress to
increase the price of wheat.
This became known tonight from an
authoritative source. Opposition to the
measures, another of which was Intro
duced today by Representative Helver
Ing, of Kansas, la based on the ground
that their passage would upset the en
tire wheat and bread programme of the
Food Administration, worked out in
f ere"J I great detail, and that President Wilson
have offices in the Dekum building
and who also told Sheriff, w. L. Lamp
bell that he was the attorney for the
L W. W. organization, and sent In here
by it for that purpose, demanded of
the Sheriff the return and delivery to
him of the large quantity of I. W. W.
literature, application cards, member
ship cards and pictures taken from the
possession of Elmer Sandstrom at the
time of his arrest, several days ago.

and confessed member of the L W. W.,
arrested by Sheriff Campbell while
trying to induce loggers to Join his

deliver any of the matter taken from
Sandstrom and Informed Libbey that
he did not intend to do so.
Mr. Libbey returned to Portland this
morning, what he intends to do could
not be ascertained.

could not take these Into consideration,
however regrettable the case might be.
Discussion turned again to what con
stitutes a living wage, and whether the
proposed new minimum would meet the
Increased cost of living. Chairman
Bronaugh reviewed the stand of the
committee majority. Instancing that, if
the wage la to be. for example. 10 per
cent more than that of Washington,
local industries cannot survive, and
both; employe and employer will go
down.
Waahlagtew Mtataasjaa Higher. -"The
minimum wage In Washington
haa been higher than ours for a year
and one-half," Interposed Professor H.
B. Hastings, of Reed College, "and they
haven't gone broke yet."
Three experienced girl workers from
a local box rectory presenter to me
committee a proposal, on behalf of their
employer, to restrict the proclivities of
apprentice girls for "quitting the Job."
They suggested that the conference
recommend Plan to withhold a por
tion of the wages of apprentice girls
until they had been employed for the
third week, when payment In full should
be made.
All three admitted that they did not
represent the apprentices, and that
their Interest was actuated largely by
the fact that, with raw apprentices aa
assistants, they were not able to make
as much money for themselves. Ques
tioners asked them how they expected
apprentice girls to live on the lesser
wage while awaiting the tnira weea.
and received no adequate response.
Wlticn Make ObjeetJoa.
When word of the proposed Increase
for experienced workers waa given, the
three wttneeaea hastily objected, assert
ing that they could not live on the new
scale. .
-How did they expect the apprentice
glrla to liver' Inquired Mrs. B. Brady.
conference member. The matter waa
already haa full authority to readjust
the price If it Is found advisable.
Wheat la selling now on a basis of
$2.20 a bushel and the price is main
tatned by heavy Government pur
chases for the Army and Navy and for
the all lea The Food Administration
has worked out a scale of profits for
millers and distributors of flour on
this basis and bread is selling at i
fixed price.
In enacting the food control law Con
gress placed an arbitrary minimum
price of $2 a bushel on next season's
crop. This Is the price that the bills
offered seek to Increase, The 20-cent
difference between the price of last
year's yield and this year's crop was
fixed In large measure to draw wheat
from the farms before the next crop
Is marketed.
Mevesaeat Market Checked.
Already the agitation for a higher
price for next season s crop. Food Ad
ministration officials say. Is checking
the flow of wheat to the terminals and
to the mills and threatens to stop it
entirely. There Is no power under the
food act to force farmers to release
their grain.
Heretofore the Food Administration
has depended solely on the higher price
for the last crop to force wheat on the
market. If legislation providing high
er prices for the new crop is enacted,
the Food Administration, it is declared,
will be forced to raise the price on
present holdings and in turn will have
to raise the price of flour, which would
mean immediate Increases in bread
prices.
Vast Profits Possible.
Enormous profits, according to offi
cials, would go to distributors who now
hold about 90.000.0UO bushels of wheat
and some 20.000.000 barrels of flour.
There Is probably on the farms about
126,000.000 bushels of wheat left over
from the old crop, much of which will

Mlalaawsa Is Basle Wage.
It waa specifically elated that the
proposed new minimum wage la a basic
wage, and avoidance waa given to the
use of the qualifying term of "rate."
Thus. If an employer at the 64-hour
basia decides to reduce to 4S hours of
weekly work, he cannot alter the mini
mum wage, which la lncontrovertlbly
fixed.
Under Mrs. Brewster's motion the
wage scales for various employments
were separately voted upon, and passed,
with the litre dissenting votes, as fol
lows: Minimum weekly wage for the mer
cantile class. $11.10. For all other
classes, manufacturing, laundries, tele
phone, telegraph, personal service and
public housekeeping, $10. St per week.
The minimum wage for office help waa
fixed at $48 per month.
The minimum weekly wage for mr
cantlle apprentices, fixed in three
periods, was recommended as follows:
First month, $7.20; three months, 18.40;
four months. )9.(0. or eight months'
apprenticeship In all. The period of
apprenticeship In manufacturing estab
lishments waa fixed at one year, di
vided Into three periods of four months

A communication from the Consum
