Fnr th first tim sine the factory Inspection lav wu enacted la Oregon, the arbitration provision wu Invoked last week la the settlement of a contro versy between Labor Commissioner Holt and Ward Bros- who conduct a planing mill at W t oon avenue. Portland. By the decision of a n.ajorlty of the board, reach el yesterday, the action of the Labor Commissioner In ordering the mill men tr Install a blower system In their factory waa sustained. Mr. Hod served notice on TVard Bros, a month esro ordrlne them to Install a system. The firm demurred and asked that th subject be left to a board of arbitration. Accordingly, tha Labor Commissioner selected Thomas Sorer. son. of Portland, as a member of tn board. The complaining firm choea If. I. Gallagher as Its representative. These two selected Dr. C. H. Wheeler. City Health Officer, as the third member. The board met yesterday and visited the plant on I'nlon avenue, subsequently announcing; a decision sustaining the ac tion of the Labor Commissioner. Tin uridines of the beard are slened by only t o of the three members, ilr. Gallagher, representing; the mlilmeo. refusing to concur. The report of a majority o tha ! board follows: The undersigned appointed arbitrator to consider the advlaMllty of Ward Bros.. M Tnl.m avenue, city of Port land, establishing a blower system In their shop in order to eliminate the dust arising from the planing machine and other machinery in said shop, to better protect the employes of said shop from the inhalation of dust arising from such work, find that It is our Judgment that a blower system should be established at 'he earliest possible moment." The decision of thta board of arbitra tion Is of Importance not alone as af fecting the particular plant concerned." said Mr. Hoff yesterday, "but for the reason that there are T! other planing mills In Portland that will be ordered to Install the same system. While the blower system waa necessary In the Ward Bros.' plant, there la a greater need for the same system In the other mills engaged in similar business In this city. In view of the conclusions of the board of arbitration called In this first Instance. I do not apprehend that there will be any healtancy on the part of tha other employers In complying with the request that the system be installed In their plants." RAILROAD URGES HOGS O.-W. It.
