NCHEA
ES BREWING
Inconsistencies Charged in
Standardization Schedule.
MAYOR WANTS CHANGES
Commissioners' Secretaries Listed
for $15 0 a Month, Though Girls
Doing Similar Work to Get $12 0.
Pointed differences of opinion over
proposed increases of salary to city em
ployes promise to develop tomorrow
when members of the city council are
to meet informally to consider the pro
posals submitted by Commissioners
Pier and Barbur, two members of the
standardization' committee.
Commissioner Bigelow, the third
member of the committee, has thus far
refused to agree with his colleagues
and yesterday intimated that unless
drastic changes were made in the pro
posals he not only would refuse to
sign the report but would oppose the
passage of the proposed ordinance with
all vigor possible.
Mayor Wants Changes.
Mayor Baker is also opposed to some
of the proposed increases. Although
he has not yet had opportunity to scan
the entire list, he did see sufficient in
the report to say that changes were
imperative if his support is to be ob
tained. All the proposed salary readjust
ments had not been typed yesterday in
ordinance form. Commissioner Pier re
fused to sanction publication of the in
complete report. However, enough of
the proposed programme was noised
about at the city hall to begin a stir
of Indignation by some employes who
averred that the proposed increases
wero not consistent.
One instance in particular shows that
the committee proposes to pay an as
sistant commissioner in the department
of public works and another man hold
ing a similar position in the depart
ment of public utilities J225 per month,
the same silary that Js proposed for
Mayor Baker's secretary, Hal M. White,
who also handles the management of
the public auditorium.
Secretary's Honri Look
While the two men in the depart
ment of public utilities and the depart
ment of public works hold responsible
positions, it is pointed out tha. both
work only from 8:30 A. M. until 5
P. M., whereas Mr. White is required to
work in the mayor's office throughout
the day and virtually every night
throughout the year, and with the ex
ception of July and August is forced
to remain at the auditorium until 11 or
12 o'clock.
No provision is made for increases
for the chief of the fire bureau, or the
chief of police, although the city audi
tor, city treasurer, city engineer and
other heads of departments would get
eubstantlal increases in salaries.
Inconsistency Is Charged.
Secretaries to the commissioners
would get $150 monthly, although one
person listed for this position is said
to do nothing but work of a typewriter
copyist and stenographer. Others
doing similar work are listed for $120
and $125 per month.
Throughout the list are apparent
inconsistencies, and instead of bring
ing about a standardization, Commis
sioner Bigelow avers that the report is
apparently an effort to put over the
salary schedules defeated by the coun
cil some months ago.
That chang-es must be made seems
apparent, and it is probable that the
proposed increases will result in a long-drawn-out
fight before the city coun
cil. Mayor Baker said yesterday that
he would refuse to consent to passage
of any salary ordinance by emergency
and that 30 days would elapse before
any ordinance affecting salaries be
came effective.

World-wide expansion of the Toung
Men's Christian association is taking
place so rapidly that it is difficult for
the organization to respond promptly
to the numerous calls, at home and
abroad, according to H. W. Stone, gen
eral secretary at Portland and chief of
educational work through North America.
Since its remarkable demonstration
during the war, when it served millions
of men in domestic and foreign service.
Mr. Stone said, "it seems that the whole
world wants association service.
"Many nations are asking its aid,
fields opening everywhere," he said.
Relative to North American expansion.
he issued the following statement:
"Never in its history has the 1. M. t
A. been called upon to perform so many
and varied lines of work, and never
has it received so many calls into for
eign fields. The expansion is wonder
ful and denotes a world-wide interest
in the special methods employed by the
organization in handling men.
'Building funds are being raised in a
great many American cities; in others
ground is to be broken soon for new
buildings, for which money has Deen
obtained, and everywhere the 'Y' is be
ing tested to the limit to meet the de
mands made upon it. Among the cities
throughout the country that are ex
panding their 'Y work are McKeesport.
Pa., construction of a 1350.000 building;
Madison, Wis., campaign for a $200,000
building; New York city, building for
colored men, costing $365,000.
In six days $102,230 poured In at
Lincoln, Neb., for repairs and expansion
work, debt payment, etc; a campaign
for $300,000 for a building at Easton,
Pa., is to be launched in October.
Coming Into our own northwest ter
ritory, I am happy to say that we have
signs of expansion and prosperity all
about us. The new navy building at
Bremerton, Wash., at the Puget sound
navy yards, which will be the largest
association building of its kind in the
west, will be completed soon.
"Pocatello, Idaho, is now in the midst
of a campaign for $90,000 to eradicate
debt, care for current expenses and to
pay for two-year memberships. Eu
gene, Or., has raised more than $30,000
and enough is in sight there to pay off
all debt and care for current expenses
for two years.
Bend Comes to Front.
"Bend, Or., is having a wonderful
expansion. Two lumber companies there
united in turning over athletic equip
ment, each pledging $12,00u on condi
tion that the citizens pledge another
$12,000, the funds to be used for current
expenses, repairs and operation for one
year. At Coeur d'Alene, Idaho, three
companies have pledged $50,000, pro
vided the citizens pledge" the balance,
amounting to 30 per cent necessary to
handle the work. The Spirit Lake (Ida
ho) Lumber company placed a man
on its payroll to serve its men.
"The Booth-Kelly Lumber company
has put in three hut-type buildings for
their camps, and two secretaries have
been placed on the payroll, working
under the direction of the Oregon state
committee. Umatilla county has raised
a budget for work and is seeking a sec
retary. Marion county has raised most
of its budget for the year and has called
lor a secretary.
"In Portland the work is lookinir fine
and all departments are busy, serving
to full capacity. Everything is well
under way on the new fall and winter
schedules and the future looks
bright."

Professor Austin says dandruff causes
70 per cent of the cuses of premature

was considered simply a collection ofj

scalp combined with an oily matter.
