peals to the Loyalty
of Citizens.
SUNDAY CLOSING VEXING
Industrial Welfare Commission. Is
Called TTpon. to Change Rules to
Permit Women to Take Places
of Men Needed in War Work.
Changes in Oregon's eight-hour law
for women, not for an increased serv
ice, but for adjustment of hours to the
individual needs of the industry af
fected, were recommended to the State
Industrial Welfare Commission yester
day by the State Council of Defense as
problem. The recommendations were
inade, following? a thorough discussion
of the issues, at yesterday's meeting of
the Council of Defense, and copies of
ine communication are to be forwarded
to the several county councils, with in
structions to take such, action as they
Jem appropriate.
The closing of business establish
ments at 6 o'clock P. M., except on
Saturdays, is favored by the State
Council, which also advocates a six
day week as far as humanly possible.
lOiht o'clock is suggested as the Sat
urday closing hour, on the showing
that such hour would best serve the
interest of the local community.
Chairman K. B. MacNaugnton, of the
Industrial Welfare Commission; was
present at yesterday's session, but was
unable to give an outline of the man
ner in which recommendations of the
council might be carried out- He said,
however, that the commission is vested
u ith authority to grant emergency
permits for a period of SO days for the
employment of women u; to 10 hours
a. day, but whether the permits could
be' renewed from month to month, he
questioned.
The resolutions adopted by the State
Council, copies of which will be sent to
jL'ounty Councils, are as follows:
"The State Council of Defense appeals
to the citizens and merchants of this
state at this, time to co-operate in meet
ing a crisis which has arisen affecting
The industrial life of our state and
Nation in carrying the war in which we
Hie engaged to a successful issue.
9 "We are advised that the present
Jnbor shortagft, skilled and unskilled,
exceeds 1,000,000 men. Our state thus
far has furnished some 27,000 men to
the Army and Navy, and there is pend
ing a draft which will approximate 20,
PH0 more. Our shipyards and other in
dustries of the state indicate a lack
of approximately 12.000 skilled and un
skilled laborers. This does not take
into consideration the large number of
collateral industries and our agricultu
ral needs. We are moved, therefore, to
ask in all seriousness for a readjust
ment in all non-essential industries and
vocations as will release with as little
delay and inconvenience as possible
the maximum man power of our state;
that merchandising may, as far as hu
manly possible, be limited to six days
in the week and shall cease at 6 o'clock
1. M., excepting Saturday, where con
ditions indicate that a closing hour of
8 P. M. would serve the interest and
well-being of the local community ; that
in these and in all other callings the
service of women be substituted for
men whenever and wherever such sub
stitution will not injuriously affect
thir well-being.
"We commend to the Industrial Wel
fare Commission of this state a care
ful and sympathetic consideration of
the untoward conditions which have
arisen by reason of the war, and ask
that they, at this time, take immediate
utrps to so change their rulings as to
release women for such service as will
lielp our Nation in its crisis; not to per
mit an increase in the hours of service
but adjusting them to the needs of the
individual calling or industry.
"We ask all merchants to enter into
the spirit of this request without de
Jay, to notify the State Council of
Defense of their action, and, further, to
,Kive such advice and co-operation in
other ways as will make effective this
pppeal.
"The council does not at this time
Hrfine or attempt to offer exceptions,
or to state conditions which would
Justify a departure from the hours
named above. It will rest entirely upon
the patriotism and co-operation of the
i li.'. iiii tlio o v in u v a L x J vj 14 b lit
Irtter and in spirit the purposes
Bought."

Loss in Lumber Camps of Northwest
Said to Exceed 27,300 Tons Kara
Yean Bonrd Will Act.
Food wastage In the lumber camps
of the Northwest is to be checked by
a monthly report, showing number of
meals served and amount of food
served at each meal. This is the plan
of the lumber and logging camp con
servation committee, recently ap
pointed. Captain T. Tharaldsen is the
director, and the other members of the
committee are fc. C. Bratton, for Ore
gon; rj. u fennocK, lor w asningion,
and W. H. Webber, for Idaho.
A survey shows that the wastage in
the camps amounts to 27,325 tons a
year. It is a dead loss of nearly six
hiploads, every ounce or wnicn couia
e saved without discomfort, incon
venience or the underfeeding of the
men engaged in the industry. In dol-
ars the wastage is valued at $5.4bu,000
a year. There nave Been xiagrant vio
lations of the food conservation rules
among the camps of the three states.
If the committee is successful In curli
ng the waste, it will be to the benefit
of the men, for the cost of board is
based on the cost of the food supplied
for the mess. Men in the woods are
not eating twice the amount of food
that soldiers eat. but they are served
twice as much, and this results in the
enormous waste.
With authority for transportation the
committee plans a tour of camps for
first-hand information, and to see that
the orders when issued later are car
ried .out.
Guard progressed rapidly yesterday at
the newly opened headquarters in ths
Morgan building. It was announced
that with only one or two exceptions
the men who had applied and been ex
amlned had passed the tests. About 65
had been accepted, it was said.
Another big group of applicants will
be examined tomorrow night, under'
direction f Major Watts, chief of the
medical staff. It is expected that this
examtnatioin will put through suffi
cient recruits to fill the first company
of 110. men for the new battalion. This
unit will be designated as Company K,
Third Oregon.
