WELFARE CRITICS
Father O'Hara Says Commfs
sioners Have Little Time
to Reply to Attacks.
LIMIT OF POWER IS SHOWN
lieasonableness of Rulings Is De
clared to Be Proved by General
Compliance of Employers
Without Objection.
PORTLAND. Or.. Nov. - 16. (To the
Editor.) I wish to take advantage of
a little pause in the work of the In
dustrial Welfare, Commission to say a
word in regard to some current mis
representations concerning the extent
of the Commission's powers and the
tendency of its rulings. That no em
phatic protest has been voiced hitherto
against these misrepresentations Is to
be attributed to the fact that the Com
mission, a non-paid body, devoting
several days a . week to the work de
volving upon It, has been too much
occupied with the performance of its
proper duties to enter upon a public
discussion.
From a score aim misleading state
ments I shall select for my present
purpose several which are particularly
unfounded and mischievous.
1 It is charged that the Commission
has autocratic and unlimited powers.
No statement could be at greater vari
ance with the truth. The Commission
is utterly devoid of arbitrary power.
Jt cannot even initiate a ruling except
in the case of minors. It must call a
conference of employers and employes
.md can act only on their recommenda
tions. The procedure of the Commis
sion, as provided by. the law, "is most
moderate and democratic. Indeed, it
was precisely because of the essential
reasonableness of its method of con
ferences that the measure received the
unanimous indorsement of the board of
governors of the Portland Commercial
Club.
Minimum Not Arbitrary.
1 It has been stated repeatedly In
print that the law requires employers
to pay a fixed minimum to all workers,
whether experienced or not. This
would be a serious criticism if It were
true. But it lacks even the shadow of
truth, as reference to section 8 of the
law would have made clear to anyone
who was seeking to know the facts.
The act makes special provision for
"learners and apprentices," as it does
nlso for "those crippled by 'age or oth
erwise." Moreover, the minlmums fixed,
:i.re "rates" per week and not
"amounts" to be paid regardless of
whether the employe works six days
or only three.
3 Class discrimination is charged
whn there is a question of framing
diverse regulations for different occu
pations. As a matter of fact, the Ore
con 10-hour law for women, which
. has been upheld by the United States
" Supreme Court, applies only to certain
occupations, while others, such as cash
iers in moving-picture establishments,
eo not come under its provisions. But
It will be evident to anyone who re
flect! on tho matter that the hours
which are reasonable in one occupation
my be unreasonable in another, and,
further, It may happen that hours
which are in themselves undesirable
hav to bo permitted from the necessi
ties ot the case, as night work in tele
phone offices and restaurants, " while
they may very properly be prohibited
In factories, stores and laundries,
where no such necessity can be alleged.
lftMiilnrlty la Charged.
4 In this connection it is often said
that it is all- very well to regulate the
number of hours daily which a woman
may work, but that it is an absurd
invasion of private rights to say that
she shall not be employed in certain
occupations after a given hour at
night. Indeed, certain persons have
grown facetious over the fact that
"working girls" may "rag" until the
wee hours of the morning, but may not
be employed in stores after 8 P. M. The
delicate point of such humor consists in
revealing the insularity of mind which
may be induced even in a humorist by
total lack of information as to the so
cial movements which are going for
ward outside our own country. The
1'nited .States enjoys the proud dis
tinction of being practically the only
eivillzed nation except Russia which
does not regulate the night work of
women. Only last week 16 nations of
Kurope, with concerted action, further
restricted night work for women. We
do not suppose that the bracketing of
the United States with Russia at the
bottom. of the list of civilized nations
will tickle our sense of humor to hi
larity. 5. Protest Is raised against the es
tablishment of a minimum wage rate on
the ground that It requires the em
ployer to pay a definite sum whether
Ills business can afford it or not. The
principle Involved Is that any industry
which does not pay its employes a liv
ing wage Is parasitic in character and
Is a rotten member of the body eco
nomic. It is self-evident that the sum
total of industries must support the
. whole body of workers. The least that
any industry can legitimately do is to
support Its own employes. Any Indus
try which does not do so Is a burden
upon the industrial system. The de
mand Is that a living wage be. made a
first cost on Industry. An employer
does not begin to count his profits
until he has paid his rents and Interest
on borrowed capltel. Why should the
wages which keep the laborer from
starvation be accounted lower than the
rents of the landowner or the Interest
of the money-lender?
Chars; of Radicalism Denied.
6. FJnally, it is raid that the Com
mission has taken a radical stand and
is forcing rulings regardless of their
detrimental effect on industry. This
would lamentable if it wero true:
1l is. however, absolutely false. It is
the purpose of the Commission to pro
mote the best Interests of industry. No
member of the Commission is so fatuous
as to suppose that the welfare of em
ployes can be secured by crippling
legitimate business enterprise. In call
ing conferences, the Commission has
made every effort to secure the services
o. the most representative men in the
various, industries, and it is a matter of
record that the employers in the con-
ferences have unanimously supported
the recommendations which the Com
mission has adopted and made manda
tory. In view of this easily ascertain-
. able fact, the charge that the Commis
sion is ruled by radicalism is seen to
be unrelieved buncombe.
To a person who thinks that human
labor is merely a commodity, like corn
or cotton, the wage legislation must in-
deed seem radical. I listened to an able
attorney some days ago who eloquently
maintained this equality of labor and
merchandise in one of our courts, and
I reflected: "These are high sentiments
to come -from the Hps of those' who
would be leaders In our American
democracy!" I listened with amazement
and ever-growing astonishment to his
plea that as the price of hogs at the
slaughter-house is fixed by the law of
supply and demand, so the same law
should be left free to determine the
recompense for the, daily labor of wom
en wage-earners, on tue physical and
spiritual character of whom depends the
perpetuity of the race and the future of
humanity.
In this view, the laoor of women and
men has no quality superior in kind to
the labor of the beast yoked to the
plow; and consequently wage-earners
are on a parity with me beasts of bur
den, for their labor is their sole Justi
fication. This horrible and revolting
doctrine cannot be repudiated by any
one who denies that the state can Insist
on "wages at least high enough to in
sure the worker under normal living
conditions sufficient food and healthy
housing." How much nobler was the
doctrine of the immortal Lincoln, who
said: "To secure each laborer the whole
product of his labor, or as nearly as
possible, is the worthy object of any
government."
The real radicalism which is going to
injure Industry is not that which vindi
cates to working women a right to a
living wage, a right which is gladly
recognized by the vast majority of em
ployers. The radicalism .which indus
tries should fear is the radicalism of
unregulated greed, with its contempt
ible and plcayunish. policies, especially
toward employes who are unorganized;
greed, with Us cry for dividends and
its contempt for humanity. Who will
venture to assert that the entire prod
uct of a certain fruit packing plant on
the East Side for any measurable pe
riod of years will compensate for the
industrial disturbance, class hatred, so
cial strife and cost to taxpayers which
were occasioned by an unregulated and
Irresponsible wage scale, and which
have sorely veed this community for
six months and whose end is not yet?

HILL GUTTING RESUMES
WORK BEGINS ANEW ON LAST UNIT
OP WESTOVER TERRACES.
Hydraulic Giants Throwing 6,000.000
Gallons of Water In 24 Hours Eat
lata Goldsmith Embankment.
Tearing out sand, gravel and boulders
by the ton, the big hydraulic giants
renewed their stack on Goldsmith Hill
yesterday morning for the first time in
12 months, beginning on what is to be
the last unit of Wrstover Terraces. The
giants will throw 6,000,000 gallons of
water against the hillside each 24 hours
at a velocity of 600 feet a second. The
work will continue for 24 hours a Jay,
six days in the week, until the whole
hill is removed and the project com
pleted. The point where the attack is made
on the hill is directly at the end of the
Westover carline. Persons familiar
with the former work will miss many
features of that operation in the com
pletion of the last unit. The big
trestle, a mile long, and 100 feet high,
has been torn down. In its place, tun
and nearly 1000 feet Ung hss been con
structed into Balch Gulch.
Through this tunnel, the supply pipes
bringing the sluicing water, and the
flumes and pipes carrying the spoil,
are carried underground to Balch
Gulch, and down the sides of the gulch
into Guild's Bake.
Work on Goldsmith Hill was first
started three years ago. 3Iore than
2,000,000 cubic yards of earth were car
ried by water for more than a mile
and used in filling the Industrial center
property in Guild's Lake.
While In progress, this work was one
of the sights of Portland. It became
a favorite visiting plact for people who
like to see things move. Hundreds
would gather to see the giants work
every clear day: The Portland Railway,
Light & Power Company has now ex
tended its tracks to the vicinity of the
work to accommodate sightseers.
It is expected that the completion of
the project will require about eight
months. TJie plant will then be dis
mantled and taken to Wisconsin to be
used in the construction of a large hy
draulic earth fill dam for a power com
pany. HARVEST FETE INSPIRED
000 SCHOOL, CHILDREN TO JOIN IN
PORTLAND EVENT FRIDAY.
Festival Programme, Celebrating Big
Crops, Will Be Staged In Gipsy Smith
Tabernacle at Night.
Six hundred school children of Port
land will participate in- the first Har
vest Festival given under the auspices
of the Recreation League of Portland,
at the Gipsy Smith Tabernacle Friday
night. ,
The children are being drilled for
the event under the direction of Pro
fessor Robert Krohn. The prepara
tions have been under way for nearly
two months and the children are now
letter perfect in their parts. The final
rehearsal will be held Wednesday
afternoon.
The Festival Is to be free to all who
care to attend, and Is the preliminary
entertainment in a series that the
league contemplates.
Mrs. Stella W. Durham, secretary of
the Recreation League, In giving out
the programmes yesterday, said: "The
giving of a Harvest Festival is an at
tempt to revive the spirit of rejoicing
over a successful harvesting of the
crops that has been observed by all
nations throughout the history of the
world. European and Oriental nations
have their folk festivals handed down
from generation to generation. In
America we have no folk traditions.
The children in the schools here are
of all nationalities, so that In order to
celebrate in a way that is typical we
must use the ways of expressing the
spirit of rejoicing of many peoples.
"This programme for the Harvest
Festival is a demonstration Of the new
play life of American children . com
bination of many kinds of games and
folk dances borrowed from many na
tions and now enjoyed by all Portland
children."
An interesting feature of the pro
gramme will be the tableaux arranged
by the Portland Art School, depicting
famous harvest scenes. There will be
two of them, Millet's "Gleaners" and
Brancwyn's "Return From the Prom
ised Land."
DEBATERS TRY FOR TEAM
Retention of Philippines Will Be Is
sue at Albany College Contest.
ALBANY, Or., Nov. 15. (Special.)
To choose its debaters for interscholas
tic congests during the school year, the
Albany High School will hold its final
debating tryout next Wednesday after
noon. Six debaters will be. selected to
form two teams.
Through a series of preliminary con
tests the contestants for places on the
debating teams have been reduced in
number to eight. The question of per
manent 'retention of the Philippine
Islands will be discussed in the final
tryout debate, and the eight students
from whom the teams will be chosen
are Miles McKey, Margaret Gibson,
Archer Leech and Ruby Moench, who
will speak on the affirmative side of
the question, and Dan Ashton, Paul
Dawson. Mae Ballack and Bina Reeves,
who will support the negative.

ASKS
NEW
DREDGE EQUIPMENT
Larger Suction Pipes and
Pumps for Chinook Are
Recommended.
COST FIXED AT $100,060
Improvements Will Double and May
Treble Capacity, Is Belief of Ex
perts Overhauling Is to
Be Done Soon.
Major Mclndoe, Crps of Engineers,'
United States Army, will forward to
Washington tomorrow recommenda
tions for the installation of two 30-inch
suction pipes or drags on the dreage
Chinook, with pumps of corresponding
capacity, operated by two engines of
1000-horsepower each, his action re
sults from his determination to pro
vide the best facilities within his reach
to increase the depth on the Columbia
River bar. The programme is a radi
cal change from that first mapped oit,
when 20-inch equipment was consid
ered, that being the size in use, and
the diameter later was increased to
24 inches.
The cost of the improvement will be
about $100,000. As soon a the plan is
approved by the chief of engineers,
preliminaries will be hurried so that
bids may be received and contracts
awarded. It is estimated that the new
suction pipes alone will double the ca
pacity; and both the 30 and 20-lnch
can be. used when weather conditions
are favorable.' It is said by experts
that at such times the Chinook can be
loaded with material from the bar in
one hour, while now three hours are
required for filling her bins.
The pumps now in place, numbering
two, are worked by engines of 600
horsepower. It is believed that if au
thorization is received this month the
Chinook will be ready to return to the
bar May. 1.
In estimating the expenditures the
cost of overhauling the Chinook is not
included. The bid of $10,584 by the
Vulcan Iron Works for that Job, has
been accepted and a telegram from
Washington yesterday authorized' Major
Mclndoe to formally place the order.
Notice probably will be given the eon
tractor tomorrow. As soon as the Port
of Portland dredge Columbia is off the
drydock, on which she will be lifted
today for examination, the Chinook is
to be raised. Her propellers, tail shafts
and. stern bearings will be removed so
work on them can be carried on In
shops, and she will then be floated, to
remain in the water until the gear is
ready to be replaced. The overhauling
is to be finished in 35 days.
JETTY ROCK BARGES LOADED
North- Trestle to Be Protected for
Length of 800 Feet.
Rock is being loaded on barges at
Fisher's quarry for transportation to
the north jetty at the mouth of the
Columbia. As a total of 800 feet of
trestle has been built Major Mclndoe
is anxious that it be fully protected
from Winter storms and sufficient rock
is' to be dumped for that purpose. It
is not intended to continue operations
during tire entire Winter.
If the Port of Portland dredge Co
lumbia is deemed in fit condition to
be returned to the lower harbor she
will complete the channel to the north
of Sand Island, which will permit rock
barges to be towed to Fort Canby at
all times. For the present they are
to be shifted across only when tides
are favorable. Derricks are being
erected on the receiving dock at Fort
Canby, so the, material can be hoisted
into cars. Tracks are laid and the
transportation arrangements completed
so deliveries from the dock will be
rapid. Besides tho Government Is un
covering rock on the reservation there
that will serve to fill in between the
large rocks sent on barges.

were employed on the Orotava, but the
Japs eduded them.
BLAZE ABOARD THE HINEMOA
Coal Stored in ' Forepeak Ignited
From Combustion.
Fire aboard the British ship Hine-
moa at 2:30 o'clock yesterday morn

where about 18 tons of coal was car
ried to be used in the galley, resulted
in damage to stores that will reach
several hundred ' dollars. A survey
will be held this week. The fire is
thought to have originated from spon
taneous combustion.
The fireboat David Campbell re
sponded to an alarm from the North
Bank dock, also Engine Company No.
26. The blaze required two hours'
work to extinguish and Captain Harry
Pollock, of Engine Company- 26. was
almost overcome by gas from the burn
