The manufacturer was paying S3 for the makinir of a sin gle coat and his foreman informed him that the men could not make more than four such coats In a day." That is the manner In which R. M. Gray, Washington-street clothier, who returned this week from a business visit to New York, relates what he as serts to be a characteristic instance of labor conditions In the factories of th East. "I feel safe In saying," continued Mr. Gray, "that the advance in cost of clothing manufacture Is 60 per cent over last year, which was considered to be excessively high, and that the garmentworkers are demanding and getting every cent of the Increase.

The bridge operators, with Bridge Foreman Richmond as their spokesman. appeared before the board yesterday and announced their desire to co-operate in every way possible to improve the service. The meeting will bo called soon. Mr. Richmond likewise called atten tion to the fact that broken glass ha9 been found on the bridges at various times.

Th Russian Is not alone In his de mand for th unhappy ending or a film tale, quit In contrast to the de mands in the United States. South Americans like to have their screen favorites end in abysmal misery. A few years ago pictures were shown to believe that the war will be lengthy and that, despite the fact that business is steadily improving, growing scarcity of material has caused a pronounced attitude of business uncertainty. Railroad traffic east of Chicago is extremely heavy, said Mr. Gray, while hotel accommodations in New Yoj-k and Baltimore can only be secured by re serving rooms far In advance. That hotel men of the East are profiteering is a statement denied by Mr. Gray, "There have been slight advances in the cost of rooms and meals." ha said, "but these are not excessive and are on comparison with our own right here In Portland. brought back to th I'nlted State by I In old stores, tents and In vnurievUi Captain IKnald C.

Because the steamer Breakwater was commandeered by the Government while loading at San Francisco for Portland, tho observance of "Sweet heart" Sunday has been postponed from March 10 to March 17. "Sweetheart" Sunday, be It said, is not devoted to farewells between local lasses and their soldier or sailor lads. but Is to celebrate a brand of toilet soap which is designated by the sac-1 charine title. A. K. Arrington, Pacific Coast man ager for the soap company, with of fices at Spohn & Wing's, 310 Hoyt street, bad conducted an extensive ad- j vertising campaign by banner and bill board, and the soap was to have been on sale this week.
