WOMEN OF OREGON
AID BERRY GROWERS
Systematic Drive Being Con
ducted to Help Harvest
Crops of State.
DAY SERVICE IS PLANNED
Busy Women to Bo Taken to Fields
in Morning and Returned in
Evening Boys and Men Also
to Assist in Crisis.
Soldiers need berries lor the acid
part of their diet.
The Food Administration wants ber
ries canned to build up a food reserve.
The berry farmers of the Willamette
want to save their crops.
The people of Portland are going: to
help them do it.
Whole families, which used to pre
pare for a camping trip in the country
this time of year are preparing for a
different kind of a camping trip this
Summer. They are going to combine
business with pleasure and good times
with patriotism. Men and women, boys
and girls', every one who can get away
is going to help the Government by
helping to pick the Oregon berry crop
this season.
One of the most interesting phases
of the berry picking drive is the
women's day service movement started
by J. W. Brewer, the farm help special
ist of the United States Department of
Agriculture. Realizing that many
women of Portland are anxious to do
their best -in this time of Crisis in the
food supply and knowing that many of
them cannot get away from the city
for-the whole Summer, Mr. Brewer has
arranged for day service for thos
women who have homes and families
to care for. According to the new
scheme, the patriotic berry picker
whisks out into the country in an auto
mobile immediately after breakfast,
picks berries until 5 o'clock and drives
home in time for dinner.
Womei Answer Call,
That Portland women approve of
this plan is evinced by their hearty
response to the call for workers in
the berry fields. The women have
their own uniforms and are organized
under tho Oregon Women's Farm
Keserve which is affiliated with the
Women's Land Army of America.
The call Is going out to the refined
home women of America just as it has
gone to even the most exclusive
women of France and England. The
women 'of Oregon are answering the
query, "Will you serve?" In the affirm
ative, arid so doing their share to save
food that must supply our boys in serv
ice and the allies. In Portland women
are wanted to save the crops by day
labor and by furnishing . machines to
take women to the fields in the morn
ing, as well as going to the women's
camps organized under the direction of
Miss Ruth Plummer. Miss Delva U.
Weller is director of the new day serv
ice for berry pickers and Mrs. Zoe
Baldwin is the enrolling officer. Mrs.
Bnldwin may be reached at her office,
704 Oregon building. Fifth and Oak
streets, or by calling Broadway 440.
More Help Needed.
Dozens of women are enrolling in the
new service every day and many more
are needed. There will be a chance for
every patriotic woman In Portland to
do her bit and earn money at the same
time.
Families who desire a Summer's out
ing are especially wanted for berry
sicking by A. B. Brown, of the Public
Employment Bureau. He has many
calls for pickers from various parts of
the Willamette Valley, where the grow
ers provide housing, stoves, fuel and
grocery delivery. In one place there Is
a fine lake for bathing and there are
natural scenic advantages in many of
the localities where pickers are desired.
"Women are taking their families to
the berry fields this Summer," said Mr.
Brown, "and many are making up
parties to work in the berry harvest.
We want some more groups of from five
to 25 people, as well as all the families
we can get. Loganberry plc-lng starts
June 24 and other pickers can be used
at present for strawberries. The wom
en's division of the employment bureau
is at 306 City Hall, where all infor
mation may be secured.
Boys and men are needed to fill calls
which the Y. M. C. A. employment sec
retary is receiving every day. Already
the Y. M. C. A. has established four
boys' camps, where the pickers are hav
ing a splendid outing, in addition to
earning money. They will send out
many more parties of boys under the
supervision of older persons. Cherry
picking and berry picking calls are
numerous at the X. M. C. A.

STRAIGHT TIME OFF
Metal Workers Vote Down
Proposed Concession.
COUNCIL REPORTS RESULT
Men, by Small Margin, Decide to
Retain Half-Holiday Saturday
or Double Time, Provided
by Macey Commission.
By what is said to have been a small
margin, members of unions affiliated
with the Portland Metal Trades Council
have voted down a resolution intro
duced by the executive board of the
council recently pledging the men to
work in the shipyards Saturday after
noons during June. July and August
on straight-time pay, instead of tak
ing the afternoons off or accepting
double time, as provided for by the
Macey Wage Adjustment Commission.
One reason advanced for opposition
to the plan Is that the men feel that the
move should be initiated by the Gov
ernment, rather than by the working
organizations.
Officials of the Emergency Fleet Cor
poration anticipate an early adjust
ment of the Saturday afternoon holi
day matter, but meanwhile have not
authorized any change in the working
programme. Men on the day shifts in
all wooden yards engaged on United
States tonnage are given the afternoon
off, but at the plant of the Foundation
Company notice has been posted that
the day shift will be on duty today
from S to 12 o'clock, when the first
night shift will turn to until 4 o'clock
and the second night shift will be at
work from 4 to 8 o'clock.-That company
Is building ships for the French.
That same system is followed by the
steel yards, so each shift is given half
a day off each Saturday and the plants
are kept going, the period of suspen
sion being from 8 o'clock Saturday
night until 8 o'clock Monday morning.
As regards the men employed in wood
en plants, the attitude of the Emer
gency Fleet Corporation is that those
on the night shifts' are paid an extra
6 per cent over the day men and do
not have the half holiday, so only be
tween noon and 4 o'clock are the plants
idle, the first night shift turning to at
the latter hour, while a midnight the
"graveyard" shift reports.
At all yards there is some necessary
work during the afternoon, which is
authorized, and. the comparatively few
men retained for this are paid double
time, as provided In the Macey wage
agreement, which granted the men the
weekly half holiday as well.
Fred L. Bourne, president of the Port
land Metal Trades Council, says there
are 17 unions in that organization, a
representative from each making up
the executive board of the council. Any
action of importance by the executive
board must be submitted to the mem
bership of the unions for referendum
vote. As the strength of the unions
ranges from around 500 men in some
to more than 5000 in others. It has re
quired three weeks to complete the bal
loting. PORT MAY SHIFT QUARTERS
Commissioners for Waterfront Lo
cation Rather Than Courthouse.
Consideration is being accorded by
the Port of Portland Commission to an
offer from towners of. the Bates build
ing, a concrete structure on the south
side of the west approach to the Burn-side-street
bridge, to utilize space on
the third floor as a headquarters. The
present headquarters on the sixth floor
of the Courthouse is regarded as suit
able in the main, but some of the com
mission feel that the offices should be
on the water front as long as they can
arrange for space in a fireproof struc
ture. Besides the offices in the Court
house, storage space is retained on the
Fifteenth-street municipal terminal for
handling stores to the floating plant
and that would be taken care of at
Burnslde street as well.
Commissioners J. W. Shaver. D. C.
O'Reilly, E. W. Spencer and Robert
Strong toured the harbor yesterdav.
with John P. Doyle, superintendent of
tne port, visiting the dredge Tualatin
above the Hawthorne-avenue bridge;
also tne dredges Willamette and Port
land, at the St. John municipal termi
nal, and the drydock.

National Service Section Extends to
AH War Works.
The National service section of th
Emergency Fleet Corporation, which
directs teams of speakers sent out from
the East to talk to men in shlpbuild
ing establishments, has arranged to in
elude all industrial plants engaged on
war work and, preparatory for the ar
rival of the next party of speakers. C,
w. TeDauit, manager In the Oregon
district for the National service sec
tion, will visit the Industrial plants.
He intends to start his rounds Monday.
Judge John tl. Stevenson, In charge
of the Oregon agency of the industrial
service section of the Emergency Fleet
Corporation, has volunteered to assist
Mr. Tebault in the programmes, as has
Lieutenant R. A. Blythe, for three years
lri the Canadian forces abroad and now
supervisor of plant protection in Ore
gon. Both will speak to the men and
the probabilities are that other Port
landers will be organized so pro
grammes can be provided regularly,
instead of depending only on the
traveling speakers.
