Minor Changes Probable W'fien
Contract Is Renewed, Although .
Scale Probably Will Stand.
Although the present agreement
still has more than a month and a
half to run, the building contractors
of the city and the members of the
building trades unions are evincing
keen interest in the matter of
agreement between the employers
land the workers- for the coming year.
Several meetings have been held by
I the contractors to consider the mat
, ter informally, while the workers
I are also studying the problem with
a view of agreeing upon the future
scale.
On May 27, 1919. the Building Con
tractors' association and the building
trades council entered into an agree
ment 'under which they have been
working and will continue to work
until May 1 this year. The wage
scale gives $6 a day to the common
laborer and $8 and $9 a day to the
skilled worker. Rumor that the con
tractors were to go on an "open
shop" basis on May 1, when the pres
ent contract expires; was denied yes
terday and the expectation was ex
pressed that the present contract
would be continued.
"Prospects are that the agreement
now in effect will be adopted for
another year and possibly for the
next two years." said O. G. Hughson,
manager of the Builders' Exchange.
"The agreement. Including the pres
ent scale, may be continued with a
few minor changes."
E

Armenian Relief Campaign Results
in Spirited Competition for
Prizes Offered for Record.
Jefferson high school completed It
drive for the Armenian campaign by
giving $1377.40 from 1600 students,
according to reports which were com
piled yesterday.
The money was raised by various
organizations and school rooms. The
domestic science department offered
cake for the room donating the
largest amount per capita. It was
won by room 29, which had an aver
age contribution of $1.03. although
room 67, which won honorable men
tion, gave an average of $1.
Winners of a poster offered by the
art department for the most original
plan of raising money went to room
35, which issued shares for the Ar
menian fund with each student an
authorized salesman and conducted
a stock exchange. Honorable men
tion was received by rooms 4 and 49.
The largest amount raised by any
one room in the Jefferson school to
wards the Armenian drive was by
room 35, which haa to its credit
$126.66. The Zetas. a group of Jef
ferson girls, put on a playlet, "When
Love Is Young," which netted over
$100, each ticket selling for 10 cents.
Preliminary work on the new labor
temple, to be erected in Portland this
year at a cost of approximately $250,-
uuu, was started yesterday, and it is
the expectation of the officials of the
Labor Temple association to have the
work carried on continuouslv now
until the structure is finished. Eight
months is set as the time it will take
to bring the building to completion.
Oanello Bros., who have been
awarded the general contract, began
clearing the property yesterday pre
paratory to excavation and estab-
ishod their headquarters on the site.
The building is to go up on the south-i
east corner of Fourth and Jefferson
streets.
The structure will be "union made"
throughout, according to Otto Hart
wig, president of the State Federation
of Labor, yesterday. Not only will
the building itself be made with union
hands, but all material going into it
must come from union shops, it has
been ruled. The first impediment in
this regard was recently struck when
contracts for the structural steel for
the building were called for. Several
of the lowest bidders. It is stated,
now are having labor difficulties and
therefore were not given the con
tract for supplying the material. The
steel may be secured from outside of
Portland as a result, it is stated.
If Kelly Butte rockpile were opened
and prisoners at the county jail put
to work there. Multnomah county
could macadamize the St. Johns River
road from Delay street to Willamette
boulevard at a cost $5000 less than it
demanded by a private contractor, ac
cording to figures submitted to the
county commissioners yesterday by
Roadmaster Eatchel at the request of
Commissioner Holman.
Final award of the contract has
been postponed until Wednesday to
allow opportunity to investigate the
new proposal. Only one bid had been
made, that by the Star Sand company.
which asked $46,293.10, or $4.10 a
cubic yard.
According to Roadmaster Eatchel's
figures, rock can be produced by pris
oners at Kelly Butte at a cost to the
county of $1 a cubic yard. Hauling
to the road would cost approximately
$1.60 a cubic yard more. A steam 1
roller and macadamizing crews would ;
bring the total to $3.60 a yard com- j
pared with $4.10 demanded by the !
Star Sand company. j
Chairman Hoyt desires to invest!-;
gate the matter thoroughly before
decision. Commissioner Holman is i
very much in favor of the county do
ing the work. Commissioner Muck
doubts the accuracy of the figures
submitted by Mr. Eatchel.
The few remaining smallpox pa
tients could be removed from the sub
jail at Kelly Butte and the rockpile
opened within 10 days, believes Sher
iff Hurlburt.
