23 THE 3IORXIXG OREGOMAX, FRIDAY, JANUARY 13, 1922 K. S. ERVIN HEADS TjMMSSOCWTl Portland Man Selected Pres ident for 1922.

Ervln, will head the Pacific Coast Merchant Tai- Jors" association for 1322 and Oakland will be the next convention city, ac Cording: to a decision reached yester day before adjournment of the third annual convention business session. The convention closed late last night with a final banquet and Brand ball at the Multnomah hotel. High praise was voiced on all sides for the entertainment prepared by the Portland committee and for the treat ment accorded delegates at the Mult nomah hotel. The style show, which received Its first send-off In the re cent convention, will be incorporated ax an annual event in connection with the meetings. Better Condition Somen. Steps tr the betterment of work ing conditions and for building- up ' relations between employers and em ployes were taken in the adoption of a report by the committee on cm Xloyes' welfare. " The report, which received unanimous Indorsement of the members, follows: "It Is the sen.se of this committee that present conditions in which the recent shortage of labor has been suc ceeded by an unemployment problem demand thoughtf ulness and vigilance on the part of the association. This association should go on record as being emphatically opposed to any of our members taking advantage of any reversal of conditions wrongfully to dominate hia employes and to Impose any conditions upon them which are not in accordance with fair dealing, co-operation between employer and employe and the best possible humane conditions. Employes' Hnpploex Objective., "Every possible thought should be given to making our employes happy and contented, both from the point of view of the Tightness of such an attitude and also for the reason that contentment among employes Is the uredt road to efficient and full pro duction. "Our work should be carefully planned so as to reduce to a mini mum the necessity of laying off em ployes during slack times and It Is the belief of this committee that care ful thought and planning will avail much In this direction." The suit club evil. a form of lottery applied to the clothing industry that has been of particular concern to tailors in California and Washington, was condemned in resolutions pro viding for careful checking of such operations through the business or ganization. Tailoring School Favored. ' "Work of establishing tailoring schools, either in high schools or otherwise, was recommended to each exchange. The San Francisco ex change has taken steps toward the organization of a private school for tailors. The French-Capper truth in fabric bill which proposes to force the branding of materials as to per centage of wool, cotton, silk and other things was indorsed. Indications point to the establish ment of a joint exchange of Tacoma Olympia tailors as well as a great ex tension of the work in Oregon towns. Astoria and Salem both may provide sufficient members to form a sepa rate exchange or members may af filiate with the Portland body. Presi dent Krvin was authorized to take tip the matter of enlisting members at Astoria rind organizing an exchange If possible. Fnp In 1025 Fair Pled Bed.

As evidence of the efficiency of aviation patrol, in 6S.S91 miles of flight there were but four crashes and one forced landing, from which no fatalities resulted. The observa tion covered a total of 3,785,330 square miles. Recommendations were contained in Uie report that the aviation patrol be continued during 1922 on as large a scale as the flying personnel of the 9th corps permits in Oregon, Washington and California, and that provision be made for prompt fur nishing of gasoline and oil to all bases, sub-bases and supply points to prevent delays in the service.

RETAIL PROBE NEJUI END DATA OS FOOD AXU CXOTHING COSTS PREPARED. Federal Roport'on Prices to Be For warded to Washington Soon. Whole State to Be Included. The first phase of federal inquiry Into retail prices in Portland will b concluded this week, according to Fied Watt, special agent of the bu uau of Investigation, department of Justice: who has been engaged for some weeks In assembling a compre hensive schedule of costs to the pub lic. "rty Monday, I believe," said Mr Watt, "that the report will be in shape to forward to Washington. It will include retail costs in every sec tion of the state as well as in Port land, covering foodstuffs and wearing apparel. "Meats have received the most at tention in our inquiry, by reason of the fact that we are able to ascertain the first or production cost, as well as the retail price. Of course the same applies to wheat and oth-.T grains, but no discrepancy .ls there apparent Wheat prices are figured down to a gnat's heel, and nobody is making any money, the farmer least of all." Retail price reports, forwarded tt Washington from every state, w.il be checked at headquarters, where data on first costs are at hand. Pending this and the action. If any, taken by the department, the public will learn little of the latest campaign against high costs. The fact that a -Wide, discrepancy, or spread, exists between the produc tion cost of meat and its price on 'he butcher's block Is not significant nor disturbing, declare the retailers. 'There Is a shrinkage all the way down the line." said G. J. McPherson, secretary of the Oregon Grocers' and Merchants' association. "Obviously, comparisons cannot be made with the first cost, when it is considered the wastage and overhead have quite as much to do with the retail price Spread, or the difference between pro duction and retail prices. Is not profit, by any means." COfJRAD OLSON NOW HEADS STATE B! II Leroy D. Walker Chairman of Directing Board. OTHER ELECTIONS HELD Trust Companies of State Also GJ loose Officers for Year.

Fredrick Ziegler. the surgeon who is attending the wounded woman said the danger resulting from the shock and the actual shooting had passed, but complications which may be serious are not impossible.
