AUDITORIUM CLAIMS
FOR MIN MUM WAG
NEW YORK. April 6. Samuel Gom
pers pleaded for a minimum wage for
workers In an' address at an editorial
conference of New York trade and
technical papers today.
"Xo employer should be allowed to
continue unless he is in a position to
pay his employe a minimum standard
wage," said Mr. Gombers. "Such an
employer ought to get out at once and
give someone else a chance who can
put the business on a paying: basis."
Mr. Gompers defended the labor
group in this country and said that
while it was not infallible; at the
same time it had made less mistakes
than any other group measured in
numbers. The American Federation
of Labor, he said, was organized 39
years ago, with 50,000 workers in all
parts of the country and has grown
against all odds to four and one-half
million, and soon would number five
million.
'It is not true," Bald Mr. Gompers,
to say that we represent but 5 per
cent of the inhabitants of this coun
try, but, based on the general calcu
lation of each American home, count
ing five to a family, and if. therefore,
there are 100,000,000 people in this
country, we represent 25 per- cent of
these 100.000,000 and not 5 per cent.

A Judgment against August Junge
missing head of the Diamond T truck
sales agency, was handed down by
Judge Bingham in the circuit court
yesterday in favor of B. A. Neuman,
purchaser of two trucks which were
re-sold by Junge last November at
Baker. Or.
One truck was purchased by Ne;
man for $5430 in May, 1919, on which
JbOO was paid down. Months later,
after considerable trouble with the
machine, Neuman learned through a
mechanician that he had purchased
a second-hand truck instead of a new
one and that it had numerous me
chanical imperfections. Last Novem
ber Neuman came to Portland, saw
Junge and made arrangements by
which he agreed to buy a second
truck on Junge's promise to replace
the differential in the old one. While
both trucks were in Baker, Junge
preceded Neuman by eight hours to
that city and re-sold them.
Judgment was. given in the sum
of $2800, paid on the trucks by Neu
man, and interest to date.

WOMAN OUT FOR DELEGATE
MRS. F. O. XOKTHRUP SEEKS
TO ATTEND CONVENTION.
Platform Expresses View That
Time Has 'Come When Both Scics
Should Sliaro Responsibility.
Mrs. F. O. Northrup. prominent club
woman, yesterday made formal decla
ration of her candidacy as a delegate
to the republican national convention
from the Third congressional district.
Mrs. Northrup was waited on recently
by a committee of women affiliated
with various clubs, and urged to be
come a candidate for delegate. Mrs.
Northrup took the matter under ad
visement and concluded to accept the
suggestion.
"I will earnestly adhere to the prin
ciples of the republican party," is the
llcan woman to seek to attend a na
tional convention from Oregon, and
she has preferred being elected as
a delegate from Multnomah county
to being a candidate from the state
at large. Mrs. Northrup, who has
lived in Oregon for 38 years and has
raised a family, has been closely
identified with club work for a num
ber of years and she made the fight
for motion picture censorship for the
clubwomen recently. At present she
is vice-president of the housewives'
council, which organization has been
struggling with the high cost of liv
ing problem.
Appointment of W. T. Masters, W.
C. North and Richard Martin, Jr., as
a committee to investigate the claims
filed by bondsmen of Hans Federeon,
who constructed the municipal audi
torium, is provided in a resolution to
be considered by the city council this
morning.
City Commissioner Bigelow will
probably oppose adoption of the res
olution, and it is possible that Com
missioner Mann will also vote against
adoption of the resolution.- Both com
missioners Barbour and Mann have
consistently stood against the ap
pointment of the committee) on the
theory that the entire question must
eventually be submitted to the courts
and that, therefore, court procedure
alone should guide the future action
of the city council.
Othrra Want Investigation.
Other members of the council be
lieve that through an Investigation
carried on by a committee not only
will considerable expense be caved
in compilation of facts, but that, in
addition, the committee will de
termine if the claims are just.
General opinion prevails among
three members of the council that
the bondsmen are entitled to consid
eration, in view of the fact that
some of the losses sustained by the
contractor, and which were trans
ferred to the bondsmen for settle
ment, resulted because of changes de
manded by the city.
Claims AsKrcgate $7M00.
The claims aggregate $76,000, but
will probably be reduced to 156,000
when bills for material furnished by
the bondsmen have been removed, it
being the general understanding that
the bondsmen will accept this por
tion of the loss if the city will pay
the bills presented by sub-contractors
and othea material men.
Before payment can be made the
entire matter must be approved by
the electorate, according to members
of the city council. It is barely pos
sible that before the claims will be
submitted to the people the matter
will be reviewed in courts.
The matter has been before the
council for months, and after numer
ous hearings the majority of the
council voted to appoint the commit
tee. More than a month's time was
necessary to select the committee.
The investigation by the committee
will probably begin at once.

Directors Not Required to Rein
state Former Instructor or Pay
$800 Alleged Due.
SALEM, Or., April 6. (Special.)
School district No. 1 of Multnomah
county will not have to restore
Eugenia H. Taggert to her forme
position as an instructor in the Lin
coin high school, neither will the dis
trict be obliged to pay Mrs. Taggert
the sum of $800 alleged to be due
as back salary arid interest at the
rate of 6 per cent based on the com
pensation of the position from the
time she was summarily discharged
until about the date of filing he
action in court, according to an opln
ion written by Justice Burnett and
handed down by the Oregon supreme
court here today.
Justice Burnett reversed the ver
diet of Robert H. Tucker, judge o
the circuit court for Multnomah
county, and dismissed the action from
further consideration. In a second
suit brought by Mrs. Taggert Justice
Burnett allowed her a judgment of
1205, which she alleged was due as
wages during her enforced absence
from the school on account of illness.
This part of Mrs. Taggert's claim was
not contested by the school district
It was charged by Mrs. Taggert
in her original complaint filed in the
Multnomah county circuit court that
she had been employed by Superin
tendent Grout, of the Portland schools,
and that she subsequently was dis
missed from her- position without
cause or complaint. The case was
tried before Judge Tucker, with tha
result that Mrs. Taggert was awarded
llldcmfnt in thA mm ' am.ith, tn l.
! complaint and the school district was
ordered to restore her to her position.
The school district then appealed
to the supreme court.
The question of whether Mrs. Tag
gert was a substitute or permanent
instructor in the Portland schools
entered prominently into the suit.
Other opinions handed.down today
follow: .
In the matter of the estate of J. T.
Friziell, appeal from Marlon county: pro
ceeding by widow on behalf of herself and
minor child to have an exempt homestead
consisting of hooee and lot in Halcm set
aside as her own individual property and

"Like a Mighty
Army Moves The
Church of God"
Thirty divisions oft that army j
thirty denominations are
moving forward in a nation
wide cooperative xampaign.
THE army that stands still is really retreating:. The
Master's command was a forward command,"Go ye
into all the World."
Out of the war the churches emerged with a new sense
of the urgency of that command. -
"We must move forward all along the line they said,
and each denomination planned its own "Forward Move
ment" to deepen the spiritual life of its members and equip
itself with money and power.
Then came the greater thought, 'It is not enough for us
to go forward. We must be sure that there is fto duplication
of effort; that cooperation prevails; that every man and dol
lar does its utmost in service.
"We must go forward together."
So the Ihterchurch World Movement was formed a
clearing house through which thirty denominations without-sacrificing
their identity in any way can cooperate
in the service of Jesus Christ.
FOR MORE than a year trained experts have been al
work making a scientific survey of the whole world, and
of America county by county.

No business man can study that survey without being impressed by
the accuracy and courage with which the task has been approached.
ON THE basis of the survey, the cooperating denominations will
unite in a simultaneous financial campaign in the week of April 25 in.
The amounts asked for are large in the aggregate ; they are small
when divided among the church members of the nation smaller still
when you count the whole number of men and women who love
America. , ?xvlii.&t '
The average contribution to the church today is less than three
cents per member per day. Think of iu Vet if each person who
loves and believes in America will increase his contribution ty only
a few dollars, the whole amount will be easily subscribed,.
