ivry. . .
THREE conventions will be held in
October and the women who at
tend all three will be busy. Oc
tober 7, 8 and 9 the Congress of Moth
ers will meet in Medford at the same
time the W. C. T. U. will convene in
Ashland. The following week, October
13 to 16, inclusive, will see the state
federation assembling in Corvallis
with the Corvallis Woman's club as
the hostess organization.
For the last named Mrs. C. H. Cast
ner, state president, has issued the of
ficial call and the programme is well
under way. While there will be some
considerable interest in who will be
president, the question of politics is
not agitating the women very much,
but all are working for the best inter
ests of the federation.
The programme committee has
deemed it wise to make some changes
in reporting the activities of the past
year. Owing to war conditions stand
ing committees were able to do little
work and this being the year for a
change of administration, with possi
ble changes of committee chairmen, it
seemed best to eliminate committee
conferences and give more time to
speakers who have vital messages for
club women. We will therefore have
& speaker from the state board of vo
cational education, one from the na
tional social service bureau upon
Americanization, and one from the
newly created - child welfare commis
sion. Ample time is to be given for
delegates to inspect the agricultural
college and a delightful luncheon fol
lowed by convocation on the campus
is to be given delegates by the college
faculty. President Kerr will deliver
an address at this session.
The musical features promise to be
delightful, and will give the club wom
en an opportunity to learn of this
phase of life at the college.
Club reports will be given Tuesday
and Thursday at noon luncheons. Pres
idents will respond from where they
are seated at the table, telling in three
minutes only the most important activ
ity of their club for the past year. Re
ports of clubs having no personal rep
resentative will be filed with the re
cording secretary.
Ten minutes will be allowed for the
reports of standing committees.
Reports of all clubs and chairmen of
committees must be typewritten and
filed with the recording secretary.
Resolutions will be read and acted
upon each day. All resolutions must
be in the hands of the resolutions com
mittee before noon Wednesday.'
All officers, delegates or alternates
and chairmen of standing committees
will be provided with rooms and break
fasts by the hostess clubs.

association will meet on Monday after

"Women have eo proved their worth

in the business 'world of England that I
they are being retained in government
offices and will be gjven positions in
them henceforth by means of competi
tive examinations," says Miss Margaret
Williamson, national secretary of the
Young Women's Christian association,
who arrived from England recently.
"More significant than anything else
is the matter-of-fact way in which
women have accepted the fact that they
are a part of business," she says. Miss
Williamson attended the fiftieth re
union of her alma mater, Gerton col
lege, and found that among her class
mates, many of whom are holding re
sponsible government positions, it was
an accepted fact that women should
and are playing an important part in
all English life political, social and
business.
Universal suffrage, after their long
fight for it. has been accepted very
calmly. Many of the women's organ
izations are not yet demobilized.
Women are still running tramcars,
automobiles and doing many of the
things which they did during the war.
although military uniforms are fast
disappearing off London streets.
"Domestic service is one of the big
problems which the country faces. A
few women who employed numbers of
servants feel resentful because they
cannot get women to work in their
homes and because of the demands that
domestic service be recognized as a
profession with stated hours and con
ditions of work. However, most of
them are looking at the matter in a
sensible light and see that these prob
lems are the same that are stirring all
England. Of course there were strikes
everywhere. The police were striking
when I left and every industry has had
its turn. Indications seem to be,
though, that everything is going to
come out all right. England has- lost
many of the old customs and her an
tiquated ideas."
From the war. work council, T. W.
C. A., New Tork, comes this news:

circle of clients is rapidly widening.
one woman wno knows the art of i

with marked success.
"I have become a professional shop

provinces are beginning to find me
useful. I work for a great many wom

counties.
"These women, knowing the smartest
and best things can only be found in
London and by one who knows London
well, prefer to employ me to do their
shopping than to make use of a cata

times people come to me when they
are In London. At other times they
write, leaving the selection of their
dresses entirely in my hands, and I
send them just what l know will suit
them. Of course I charge a commission,

Question of Unionizing Is In
teresting to Teachers.
Comments Published In Official Local
Organ Are Varied.
THE Portland Grade Teachers' asso
ciation, of which Mrs. Jennie Rich
ardson is president, is keenly inter
ested In the Bulletin Issued this past
week. The publication deals with the
question of unionizing. Miss Julia
Spooner's report seemed to caution
careful consideration.
In addition to the report there was
a survey of work and correspondence
covering several months of investiga
tion on the part of the committee. The
teachers probably will take no action
until they have heard President Still
rnan of the National Teachers' associa
tion, who will be here about the middle
of October.
Following are extracts from the but-
letin which are causing considerable
comment:
In New York city there are 60 different
aasoclatlons. Fifty-five of these belons to
a federation of teachers' associations tnon
unlon). This federation has secured prac
tically all the legislation it has sourht.
and in particular the recent "equal pay"
SAlary bill which gives large increased pay
to all teachers.
One New York clubwoman writes:
"In my opinion, one reason the union here
does not attract more members Is that the
teachers have secured the legislation they
seek without becoming- a' union In the ac
cepted use of the word. Another reason Is
that, unfortunately, the union's champion
ship of every teacher suspended for disloy
alty, and the expressed views of many of Its
members, have earned for It the ulMtrust of
many loyal teachers and citlsens Indeed, a
labor leader described It to me as 'a bunch
of "reds' and the closing of the doors of our
public school to them for meeting purposes."
From New York come comments dvcided
ly unfavorable, one very prominent worker
tor woman's suffrage writes:
"1 do not think the teachers' union has
materialized or don. any good here. It Is
very small and really was started by the
men and not by the women. The Teachers'
Federation of the city Is fa,r stronger than
the Teachers' union, and It affiliates with
nothing."
"The teachers should be unbiased on that
subject ithe union), because they are teach
ing youth and training it, economically.
ettilca:ly and every other way. and 1 do
not think that a person who is a member
of a trade union can do anything but teach
that side of the question if it comes up.
and it would naturally come up If you wera
loyal to the organization you belonged to. I
believe teachers should be broad-minded and
fair, yet I think they should not be political
ly partisan or economically partisan in their
teaching.
'Tersonally. I believe In the Women's
Trade Union league, and am an honorary
member of It, but I think that when you
form teachers Into a union It Is a very dif
ferent proposition."
The letters sent to Philadelphia were given
to teachers to answer, one' favorable letter
says that the membership of the union is
about UOO. With only a short time for work.
tne union presented an "euual pay bill be
fore the legislature, which, however, failed
of passage.
"The American Federation of Labor Is al
ready taking an active part in this recon
struction period and with a strong organisa
tion and the ballot, the teachers would be
able to do much for the schools of the coun
try and for themselves."
From New Orleans comes the word: "The
teachers Joined the American Federation of
labor about a year ago and It raised a ter
rible howl here. It was nothing but the
school board trying to make litem afraid
to tHke a step that they might not ap
prove. It is unquestionably an added power
to the teachers or you would not see the
school board knock it so hard."
A favorable comment comes from St.
Paul: "The trades and labor assembly is
backing the teachers in every way. It was
through its assistance the charter amend
ment removing the per capita limit for
educational purposes was adopted at the
last special election."
The Minneapolis correspondent differs with
our St. Paul friends as usual. She re
ports that a committee from the Minne
apolis Teachers' association, after study-
ng the question of unionizing, reported
adversely.
"It seemed best to this committee to
work with the Parents" and Teachers" as
sociation here and through the influence
of this organization, the teachers secured
all the benefits that could possibly be
derived from affiliating themselves with
any labor organization and without any of
the entanglements which such an affilia
tion would bring.
The executive committee on Parents' and
Teachers' organization appointed a com
mittee to go to the school board and to the
legislature and succeeded in securing a
satisfactory Increase in the pay of both
grade and high school teachers.
"A few of the teachers who were not
entirely satisfied with the report of the
committee did form a very small organiza
tion, which has affiliated with the Ameri
can Federation of Labor, but the number
of those who joined this organization Is so
small that It la of no consequence.
"It seems to me -that-the teachers would
lower themselves very much In the estima
tion of the public were they to unite with
labor organizations, which are contlnually
maklng trouble and causing loss to them
selves and to the public by engaging In
strikes and labor disturbances." .
A member of the Memphis school board
says :
"For the first time In the history of our
schools the teachers demands have been
recognized and their w-rongs in a measure
righted. I believe that organization will
bring about recognition by both city and
slate, and they will be forced to provide
sufficient' funds to run the schools and
pay the teachers a living wage. I do not
see how an organization directed by lntel
llsence can proe harmful to the children:
the only danger lies in making unreasonable
demands- such as will arouse public resent
ment. We had a slight demonstration of
this only a few weeks ago. The teachers,
however, saw their mistake and retracted."
A prominent worker In civic and state
affairs writes of the situation in San Fran
cisco as follows: "The local union was or
ganized bv a small group of interested peo
ple without the knowledge of a majority of
the teachers. Word was sent out that such
an organization was In existence and the
teachers were then urged to Join. The mem
bership at the present time is something
like 100 out of IToo. It is too early to say
what direct effect it Is having on the
schools generally."
A .business man of Vlsatla reports:
"There has been a union here but a short
time, but during that time It has worked
In harmony with the board of education."
The Valle.lo Librarian tells us that "Our
teachers have a union and have been or
ganized about one year. From reports It
has been beneficial, both to the teachers
and to the pupils. Since the organization
the teachers have had one Increase In pay."
