THE SUXDAY OREGOXIAX, 'PORTLAND,' JAJTPARY 17, 1915. REED TVICE WINS OVER VASHIN6T0N Berth Teams of Debaters Get Decision in Contest With University Squad. - VERDICT IS UNANIMOUS Issue of Minimum Wage I'pheld Mere and Opposed in Seattle, but Delivery and Logic Recognized by Audiences. SEATTLE. Wank- J- !. Sp riai.iriMim Yomi ud Hrnry Welabrldge, Reed College debater eared pnanlmona victory over fi" narriuia and Marsh Corbltt. the VbI Tenrttr of Wanhlafcton team, here to- mla;ht. The Jndges were Jamea . J, n.ia-ki aHaram Vlviaa M. Carkeek aid Rev. Sydney Strong, all of Seattle. The local apeakera were oTermatcaeo In all departmeata of the debate. Reed College made a brilliant entry Into Intercollegiate debating circles in the Northwest Friday night by defeat ing the team from the University of Washington before a crowa or 4uu in the college chapel. The issue was the proposed adoption of a minimum wage law for men in the States of Oregon and Washington. In the local deDate the Reed College team, consisting of Lowell Bradford and Arthur Hauck. bad the affirmative, while the negative team from the University of Washington, composed of Louis Scbwellenbach and Ray Greenwood, opposed the adoption of such a law. The affirmative team was given the decision by a unanimous vote. The judges were Judge W. B. Gilbert, of the Federal Court; Dr. George Rebec, of the University of Oregon, and F. D. Morrison, editorial writer of the Tele gram. Judge John H. Stevenson, of the Municipal Court, presided. Creation of Board Favored, Lowell Bradford opened the debate for Reed College and defined the issues. The Reed debaters suggested the crea tion of a board to fix the minimum wage and enforce the provisions of the proposed law. The commission would have power to meet the chang ing conditions of labor, capital and the cost of living. The plan was proposed to lessen extreme poverty and to insure a higher degree of efficiency among employes. The affirmative debaters made one condition as to the provi sions of the proposed law and this was to the effect that the minimum wage was not to be lower than that given by experts throughout the country as the lowest reasonable figure. This was aet at 600 per year. The affirmative, in giving a histori cal sketch of the question, showed that the minimum wage for women had been adopted by nine states, including Ore gon and Washington, and that it had been adopted for both men and women In the states in Australia and New Zealand. It was also in force in Eng land for five of the greater industries. The economic principle upon which the adoption of a minimum wage law was favored .was that every industry must pay its own costs, including the pay necessary to keep its employes In a condition where they could work effi ciently. Statistics were produced to show that about 8000 men in the two ' states would be benefited by a mini mum wage based on the 1600 scale. Mr. Bradford pointed out that other forms of proposed labor legislation were not aimed at the evils produced by low wages. Proposal Called Radical. Louis Schwellenbach was the first negative speaker, and contended that the mjnimum wage law was radical legislation; that it did not strike at the fundamental problem in labor con ditions; that it would be ineffective and therefore was worse than no legis lation at all. He quoted statistics to show that only one per cent of the laborers in Oregon and Washington would be af fected by the law and that the average for unskilled labor In these two states was higher than the average for skilled and unskilled in the Eastern States. He contended that the minimum wage law was unnecessary and that the real problem was the problem of the unem ployed. The number of the unemployed, he said, reached 23 per cent of all la borers in the two states at some time during the year. Arthur Hauck was the second Reed speaker, and pointed out in the begin ning that no one supposed that the adoption of a minimum wage would solve the question of unemployment. He did present evidence to show that un employment had not been increased i where the minimum wage had been Adopted and that en account of the in creased efficiency of employes the cost of production in the industries affect ed was not increased materially. A minimum wage was declared to be necessary because the employer had the advantage in bargaining for labor and the law was proposed as a protec tion for men who were not in a position to protect themselves. Lobs of Jobs Feared. The labor unions, he said, bad solved this question for only one-seventh of the men In the two states. Expert tes timony was produced to show that the only result of the minimum wage, where it had been tried was to produce efficiency. Ray Greenwood closed the construc tive speeches for the negative and con tended that, whereas the minimum wage would not Increase employment, it would, on account of the necessary increased standards for laborers, force .vome laborers out of employment. He also suggested that If a state had a minimum wase law it would attract laborers who were willing to risk get ting a Job at all in the hope of getting one that would pay good wages. No new evidence was produced in the rebuttal speeches and they were de voted mainly to repetitions of the pre vious contentions, and each side in sisted on its own definition of the Is sues. VIOLATIONS NOT SHOWN Illegal Increase or Prices of Wheat to Be Punished. WASHINGTON. Jan. 16. Prompt prosecutions will follow the discovery of any evidences of illegal .combina tions back of the recent marked in crease in the cost of wheat and flour, Attorney-General Gregory said tonight. Mr. Gregory said that the Federal investigation into the flour and wheat situation being carried on In Chicago was In accordance with the genera Instructions from the Department of Justice. Up to the present, however, he had received no information that illegal practices had been resorted to. The suggestion of Mrs. Julian Heath, president of the National Housewives" League, to President Wilson that an embargo on the exportation ol wheat from the United States be Imposed If the prices continued to go up was laid before the President tonight, but no action was taken.

Secretary Houston promised today to furnish, as soon as possible, the Information as K n,nHiiftlnn cnni m n t i n n and ex portation of food products called f orJ- in the pending resolution lntroaucea oj Representative Farr, of Pennsylvania. It was understood tonight that there is no present intention of taking up in the House committees any of the various resolutions and bills relating to the food situation that action on them would accomplish no good end. "Tha nrpsent situation." Representa tive Lever said tonight, "strongly em phasizes the necessity for putting into opratlon all kinds of machinery to in crease foodstuffs, but I think there is no possibility of a famine. Secretary Houston has written a let ter to Representative Farr predicting a. great extension of acreage planted in gram in tne coming season.

CLASS PLAY IS WINNER A!T AMERICAS CITIZEN" APPEALS TO WASHINGTON AUDIENCE, Stunning Gowna Worn by Gltia of Cnat and Plot la Worked Out Without Single Falter. Without the customary hitches which go with the ordinary amateur production, the February, 1915, class of the Washington rligh School presented "An American Citizen" in the school auditorium Friday night. "A great suc cess, both financially and otherwise, was the expression of Raymond R. Staub, president of the graduating class and manager of the production. The plot deals with the trials and tribulations of a brokerage firm which has suffered at the hands of an em bezzling partner. To straighten mat ters out, the partner who left mys teriously is reported killed in Europe and to save the name of the firm one of the remaining partners marries the supposed widow of the derelict. Com plications arise, but after four inter esting acts all ends tappily. The gowns worn by the women of the cast are really stunning. Miss Ellen Jackson, vice-president of the class, and leading woman, wears a $250 ermine coat during her last appearance on the stage. All the other girls of the cast came in for a share of the ad miration of the audience by their ap pearance in such beautiful gowns. The production will be presented again tonight in the school auditorium. More than 1000 were present last night. Manager Raymond R. Staub estimated. As a special added attraction Miss June Shea entertained between acts and before she was allowed to go she sang elKht character songs, each in a differ ent costume. Miss Ruth Doty was hur accompanist.

Number of Counterfeit Plecea Found Leads to Belief Plant Is Working Somewhere In City, Counterfeit coin has been circulated in Portland to such an extent recently that all prisoners taken to the City Jail with counterfeits in their possession will be turned over to the Federal au thorities for investigation, by request of the United States District Attor ney's office. The request was answered Friday night for the first time when William Marr. aged 40 years, was arrested at Front and Oak streets with an alleged counterfeit 25-cent piece in his pocket. Motorcycle Patrolmen Tully and Mor ris, who arrested the man on a charge of drunkenness, discovered the coin and placed the second charge against him. An alleired counterfeiting outlit was captured in scowtown Christmas night, when Albert J. Kelly and Charles H. Poole were arrested on suspicion that they were members of a gang of coun terfeiters. This outfit, the officers said, wns fm- makincr silver dollars. The coins, one of which was taken hj the raid, were almost perfect copies. More than a week ago a man was ar rested bv the police with an alleged counterfeit half-dollar in his possession. Charles W. Jarvis, of Eugene, recently admitted that he had the formula for making counterfeit money, according to a statement by United States Secret Service Agent Glover. While Federal authorities refused to discuss the question last night, it is police gossip that a gang of expert counterfeiters has been operating in Portland for some time. The circula tion of 25-cent, 50-cent and $1 coins leads to the conclusion that the men are operating on a large scale and have a well-fitted plant in some section of the city.

RUMOR OF EXTRA ii Congress Loses Hope of Pass ing Any General Legisla tion Before March 4. SHIP BILL FAILURE LIKELY Democratic Leaders Tell President Wilson Conservation and Philip pine Independence Sleasnres Cannot Be Reached. WASHINGTON, jln. 16. Democratic leaders In the Senate, beset by every parliamentary obstacle that minority Senators can resort to, have practically abandoned hope of accomplishing any general legislation in the few remain ing weeks of the Sixty-third Congress, except appropriation bills and the Gov ernment ship-purchase bill. Even tbe ship-purchase measure Is in danger of failure, in the opinion of some of the Senators. Although they have assurance that this measure can be passed, they are fearful lest the press of appropriation bills, coupledj with the concerted plans of Republi can leaders to fight the ship bill, will operate to keep tbe latter from reach ing a vote. Philippine Act Unlikely. It became known today that some of the Democratic Senators had told tbe President that the conservation meas ures and the Philippine Independence bill, which he had urged in his annual message to Congress, could not be passed 41 this session. They also made known to him their apprehensions re garding the ship-purchase bilL The Senate spent today in consider ation of the District of Columbia ap propriation bill, the seventh day that has been devoted to it, while all the great supply measures, including the naval and military bills, remain to be disposed of. Both of the latter are cer tain to encounter opposition in the Senate after they have been passed by the House. Prolonged debate also is certain on the rivers and harbors ap propriation bill. Extra Session Is Talked, How to devote much time to anything but appropriations before March 4, only about six weeks off, is the problem confronting the Administration Sena tors and they have confided to some of their friends the conclusion that they canrot see how much general leg islation can be accomplished. This sit uation has revived talk of an extra session. Although the dominant party leaders are opposed to the extra ses sion. It is asserted that one may be demanded should the shipping bill fail. In any event, it is said, it would not be called until after the celebration of the Panama Canal opening and the President's trip to San Francisco. One source of hope to Democrats had been that business might be expedited in night sessions of the Senate. The party caucus agreed to this some time ago, but efforts to hold night sessions since have been fruitless, owing to failure to muster a quorum.
