Mayor's Call for War Workers

LABOR SHORTAGE IS ACUTE
IS
MANY MEN REGISTER
Wno: I
Kew Wage Scale Promised Soon Is
Kxpected to Draw More Men
to Shipyards; Fully 5000 '
Now Are Needed.
Many men employed In non-essential
Industries are registering tor work in
war industriss in response to Mayor
Baker's appeal. Wilfred F. Smith, di
rector of the United States Public Em
ployment Service. 247 Davis street, aaid
yesterday that ha expected continued
heavy registration.
The shortage of labor In the ship
yards, which is acute, is confined main
ly to common labor. Under the present
wage scale It means sacrifice for many
bow engaged in non-essential industries
to quit this work and go to the ship
yards, because they are paid more un
der present employment than ia paid
for common labor In the yards.
w Waae Scale Coming.
Director Smith says that a new wage
scale will be made effective October-1.
which In all probability will provide
higher wages for common laborers.
who now are paid 13.96 per day. I
addition. Mr. Smith calf attention to
the fact that shipyard employes
constantly looking for capable men
for wltom promotions and additional
car are always waiting.
At present men of draft age and en
gaged In non-easential Industries are
not forced to seek employment In es
sential Industries. The draft board
have power, however, which they soon
will exercise, to send men In non-es
sential ratings Into war industries. Ex
eruption can be made, at the discretion
of the draft boards, when It is shown
that such a change would work un
necessary hardship.
5000 Laborers Keeded.
At least 000 laborers now are need-
ad In the shipyards of the Columbi
River district. Mayor Baker believes
that these men are in Portland. The
underlying reason for Mayor Baker's
appeal, it la understood, is to prevent
the Importation Into Portland of Mex
tcan laborers.
The shipyard employers have been
asked to make a thorough survey of
conditions in the yards, and substitute
mechanical devices wherever possible
and thua release men for other tasks.
In addition the shipbuilders are asked
to release able-bodied men now em
ployed in offices, and replace these
men with women.
Ca-eperatlaa TJrged.
Employers of non-essential labor
have been asked to co-operate by re'
leasing all able-bodied men for work
In essential Industries, using men not
capable of performing heavy labor or
women Instead.
Two hundred workmen from the
Middle West are scheduled to arrive In
Portland today to accept employment
In the Albina shipyards, and Secretary
Dodson. of the Chamber of Commerce.
has been asked to assist in procuring
rooms for the men. Persons having
vacant rooms for rent are requested to
telephone East 8109 and ask for O. V.
Bagley. Single rooms are reported
scarce, but every effort will be made
to find adequate accommodations for
ehipyard workers coming to the city.
Railroads Ala Need Help.
To recruit labor to relieve the short
age now existing In the mechanical,
malntenance-of-way and production de
partments of the O.-W. R. c N, the
Southern Pacific lines north of Ash
land, the Northern Pacific Terminal of
Oregon, the San Francisco & Portland
Steamship lines and the Pacific Coast
Railroad, A. J. Handlan, recently ap
pointed labor agent for these lines, has
opened an office In room 405 Wells
Fargo building.
Mr. Handlan will work In conjunc
tion with the United States Employ
ment Bureau, and co-operation of em
ployers of labor In non-essential Indus
tries is desired. Applicants for employ
ment are requested to communicate
with Mr. Handlan at the Labor Bureau.

Only at MEIER & FRANK'S Style Headquarters Can You Buy
It is claimed, we believe with considerable
reason, that men-who are hardest to satisfy
with ready-to-wear clothes, men ' who would
otherwise pay a big price to a custom tailor,
are the ones most enthusiastic about Society
Brand. It is just such men, particular men,
clothes-wise men, who in numbers already large
and rapidly growing larger come to style head
quarters as often as they want a new suit or
coat. These men, every man who appreciates
style distinction, every man in search of real
value, are invited to see the new Society Brand"
clothes for Fall and Winter on display and sale
at this store today.
Economy
as much as any other one reason accounts for
Society Brand popularity. True thrift can't
afford cheap clothes. Pay enough to get clothes
that enhance your appearance, that have qual
ity, style and everything else that counts. This
means Society Brand clothes. They are unex
celled in fabric, fit and workmanship. They
are hand tailored with exacting care. The
style is built in to stay in as long as the fabric .
lasts. They wear as only good clothes can wear.

ITALIANS KEEP HOLIDAY
Xo Formal Celebration Held but
Varlons Organizations Meet.
No formal celebration of the Italian
National holiday was held yesterday
by the Italian residents of the city, but
presidents of the various Italian so
cieties spoke before the members of
the organisations upon the significance
of the National holiday.
M. G. Montrezxa, Italian Consul in
this city, received a telegram from the
president of the Roman Legion in New
York City, asking that the celebration
In this city be as patriotic as ever, but
that it might be modest, due to the
liberty loan drive. He urged that all
money be contributed to the drive, as
it was the important issue of the day,
but asked that the Italians observe the
holiday in an unassuming way.
