Certain Sections, it is Said.
MAKES ANSWER TO ROOT
"If the advice given by the attorney
general means that we have to abide
by the decisions of the Industrial, wel
fare commission, and not allow women
to work at the cigar stand In our
hotel after p. m., we are g'olng to
fight. We wi'.l carry the case to the
United States supreme court if neces
sary." Such were the remarks of K &
Coovert, president of the Benson Ho
tel' company, when advised of the
ruling of the attorney general yester
day. The advice was sought from
the attorney general following the
threatened arrest of the hotel proprie
tors for allowing Miss Stella Harris, .a
clerk In the hotel cigar and confec
tionery stand, to work after 6 o'clock
at nlaht.
"If the attorney general holds the ft
women employed In hotel cigar stands
coma under the ruling of the commis
sion, then a number of women em
ployed where cigars are- sold arer
barred from working after" 6 o'clock,"
aald Mr. Coovert. "A short walk down
Washington street any time after 6
o'clock at night will show you how
girls are working in confectionery,
stands where cigars and tobaccos are
aold.
"Section one of the sot creating
the commission and providing its du
ties defines what shall be unlawful.
It says in part that it shall be un
lawful to employ women under sur
roundings as may be detrimental to
their health or morals, and ..where the
wages are inadequate to Supply the
necessary cost of living and to main
tain them In health.
vHow thisi applies to us I can not
see. Jthe young woman in not em
ployed where her surroundings are
detrimental to her health or morals
or where the wages are inadequate,
8he Is receiving $66 a month which
easily supplies her with the necessary
cost of living and maintains her in
health.
"As 1 see it, the commission can
not define a crime what was not a
crime before the commission makes
a ruling. , In other words, the com
mission can not define what is un
lawful when the law itself gives a
plain definition."
There Is, apparently, some misun
derstanding regarding .the case of the
O' liar a. chairman of the commission,
ays that the matter was handled
through the office of the state labor
commissioner, and that he Is unac
quainted with the facts in the case.
"I am not at all familiar with the
case of the Hotel Benson," naid Fath
er O'Hara last night. "The commis
sion has not taken up any particular
case. There has been some discussion
in a general way, however, concerning
- the employment of women In cigar
stores after hours. This was especial
ly of the low grade places, of which
there are a large number In Portland.
TVe have hot taken up the question
relative to well established mercan
tile places.
"The enforcement of the law Is in
the hands of the labor commissioner,
and. he or his deputies look into the
merits of each particular case. The
commission does not take up specif io
cases, unless the employe herself com
plains to the commission. It is con
fining itself to rulings and investiga
tions., ;.
"As far as I know, the question is
not applied to the Hotel Benson In
particular, and will not be until all of
the facts are fully determined. Then
the entire question will be taken up
and settled."

Washington, June 20. "Big Busi

the districts and states of ' representa
tives and senators anxious to break
up interlocking directorates and other
industrial abuses and can elect mem
oers more amendable to reason. Sen
ator Owen declared in the senate this
afternoon.
"Three groups of men in New York,"
he declared, "control twenty thousand
millions of dollars of property, in
cluding practically all the railroads
and all the big industries. These men
can forbid shipment of steel, rails,

Owens was replying to Senator
Smoot who had painted a depressing-
picture of Industrial conditions in the
United States, saying that imports hadJ
gold was being exported.
Senator Hollis commented that the
reason gold was being exported was
that the foreign holders of American
securities had been frightened by the
looting of the New Haven and "Frisco'

be shipped abroad to buy them.

New York Menaced
By Drivers' Strike
Possibility of Walkont of 40,000 Man
Employed In Vehicle Traffic Zs
Thought to Be Serious.
New York. June 20. New York to
night faced the possibility of the worst
tie-up of vehicle traffic in a decade.
Because of difference over the sign
ing of a new working agreement, era
playes of the three big trucking firms
tonight threatened to walk out on
Tuesday. If they do, they will in
sist that teamsters union officials call
out every man of 40,000 who belong to
that union.
Such a strike, if effected, would
paralyze means by which milk, food
stuffs, coal and building materials aro
moved in the greater city. Union men
tonight declared that only consent of
the three trucking concerns to arbi
trate their differences will prevent the
tie-up.
oped the question as to his attitude
toward the sommission system general
ly, and he replied that he felt confi
dent a decided reduction could be made
in the state's 50 commissions.
BeUevea Veto Power Dangerous.
A member asked him for his views
on the proposal to empower . the gov
ernor to veto, item by item, objection
al features of appropriation bills with
out vetoing the whole bill.
The candidate replied that ruch a
veto power is a two-edged sword: In
the hands of a trustworthy executive
of fair and impartial mind, it would
work well; but he said it would give
room for an executive of opposite
tendency to work political revenges
that would prove dangerous.
Dr. Wlthycombe said he is in
clined to leave removals of derelict
district attorneys and sheriffs to the
courts rather than to place the power
of summary removal in the hands of
the governor. He supported this with
the same argument as in tlie question
of the veto power, that it would be
unsafe in the hands of a vindictive
man.
In the main portion of his remarks.
Pr. Wlthycombe laid down the prin
ciple that the state's vast resources
must be developed, that more indus
tries must be brought to the state.
that capital must be retained in its
Oregon investment and more capital
persuaded to come.
Experiments Declared Costly.
"Perhaps the state has progressed
too rapidly in experimental encourage
ment. - I know from 15 years' experi
ence as head of the state experiment
station that experiments coat money
The initiative and referendum, the
recall and the corrupt practices act
are all right in a way. But I want to
be frank with you I sometimes think
we have gone too far."
Dr. Wlthycombe branded as "vicious
the proposed law allowing a $1500 tax
exemption. He declared it would make
a difference of $250,000,000 in tax val
uation and, by the inequality in assess
ment, throw the burden upon invest
ments until capital will shun the state.
Sural Credit a Are Favored.
Washington has gone ahead of Ore
gon, he said, because money is cheaper
there. The state held to Its school
lands longer than did Oregon and al
lowed them to increase in value until
its irreducible school fund is vastly
greater than ours. The result is that
the farmers have a sourcg of finan
cial relief that Oregon has not.
In closing his speech. Dr. Withy
comb spoke strongly in advocacy of
the bill in congress providing for rural
credits, declaring "cheaper money for
the farmer" one of the most encourag
ing steps in the settlement of Oregon
farm lands.

PROMISE MUST BE KEPT
CLEAN BILL AND PLENTY
OF IT, AIM OF THEATRE
Preparatory to Marcus Loew, "the
Napoleon of popular-.priced vaudeville,"
assuming actual control of the Sulli
van & Considine circuit on August 1,
Carl Levi, special representative of
Mr. Loew, lias been making a tour of
the houses and spent yesterday and a
portion of Friday in Portland.
Although there will be no change In
t he house manager, Nicholas W. . Ple
rong, the f-ntlre policy will be revolu
tionized and under the new plan of
operation the offerings at the Em
press will be so improved that It is
expected to' begin doing not only good
but flourishing business and to be
worthy of Portland's patronage.
The Loew standard of prices, 10, 15
and 25 cents, will be adopted and at
th same time the sise of the bills
Will be increased. Mr. Loew owns
something like 0 theatres and books
150 more, so that the long seasons
which he ?an offer acts of high-quality
make it more profitable for them to
accept less weekly s-alary from him
and in turn he is able to glvo the
best to hls'patrons at the smallest pos
sible price.
It is probable, although not definiter
ly decided at this time, that continu
ous performances may be .run from
1;30 until 11. and in that case the
bills would be made up of six acts and
slxi pictures. All pictures are care
fully selectedand are exclusive first
runs.
A feature of greatest importance in
the Loew policy is the absolutely clean
pictures and clean acts which are all
censored In New York before being
sent out on the road. Mr. Loew was
given first chance at the white slave
pictures when they were put on thj
market and turned them down abso
lutely, lie also refused to run the
Jeffries-Johnson fight pictures in any
of his houses.
All of the pictures and acts to make
up the bills coming west are assembled
in New York, where they are viewed
and passed upon by Mr. Loew, Joseph
M. Schenck, general booking agent,
Nicholas M. Schenck, general theatre
manager, and Zit of the New York
Journal, considered the leading vaude
ville critic in New York.
The Portland theatre will be known
as Loew's Empress and when that
name flashes over the houses of the
new circuit the first day of August,
it will herald the fact that Marcus
i-.oew is tne most powerrui man in
the "world of theatricals. Eight years
ago he was practically penniless. His
first theatre venture was about ix
years4 ago, when he bought the Royal
m Brooklyn, The theatre had a seat
ing capacity of 900. On : the opening
niRht in addition to about 100 invited
guests Mr. Loew sold just one ticket.
and that a 10 center. But he gave
the - performance just . the same and
when it was over he went to the man
who had bought the ticket and said:
"A mistake has been made. We are
not opening tonight this is just a
dress rehearsal. Here's your dime."
The man looked at the future magnate
and shook his head. : j
"No, I had a lot of fun anyway.
You keep the dime and buy yourself
a drink or a cigar.
Before the - year was over that the-
tre had made $ 60,000 for Mr. Loew,
ventlons provided for In the measure
are not going to really nominate the
candidates. They are going to recom
mend the candidates to the people. Just
like tho assembly did. Of course, if
any one else wants to be nominated
by petition he can go ahead and do it.
But the convention is -going to tell
the people the good men to vote for.
Just like the assembly did.
The measure appears to be predicat
ed on the assumption that the people
are not Intelligent enough to select
their own candidates, because it pro
vides only for making recommend a
tions for nominations and does not
hold up for an excuse for a convention
the need of promulgating party plat
forms. The measure does not mention
party platforms.
County Delegates to Be Chosen.
The measure provides for an elec
tion to select delegates to county
conventions. This election is to be
called "delegate primary election."
The secretary of state, 80 days before
the regular primary election, is to fix
the day of the delegate election, which
shall not be more than 60 days nor
less than 40 days before the prim
aries.
The number of delegates from each
precinct will be based on the party
vote. Candidates for delegates must
file a petition bearing not less than 10
names with the county clerk 10 days
before the delegate election."
The county convention of each party
Is to recommend to the voters of its
party the candidates for county of
fices they ought to vote for in the reg
ular primary election. The conven
tion will then select delegates to the
state convention, which will recom
mend a slate for the state ticket. The
state convention will also recommend
delegates to the party's national con
vention, will recommend presidential
electors and the presidential candi
date. It is provided that two recom
mendations 'may be made for one v of
rice. -
Officials to Barre at Public Expense,
Judges end clerks appointed for the
general election are to erve for the
primary delegate election at public
expense.
Between 10 and 20 days before the
primary delegate election, the coun
ty central committee, or the -city cen
tral committee, if for a city election.
must give notice of the date of- the
convention, the offices to be . filled
and apportion the delegates.

I know nothing of fileally," he said,
"of the plans of the national rommts-
-" WW V. . . .j. .1111 III.JVI A L & V. fcrw.
in regard to what I learn from tha
press dispatches I can say this for
the Paclflo Coast league: "We will
fight to the finish for our rights, the
national commission nor any other'
body, notwithstanding.
"When the Paclflo Coast league went
back from tha outlaw ranks Into or-"
ganixed baa e ball In l0t it was with
tha definite understanding , with tha
national commission that no other
minor league would ever be given 'a
higher; classification than tha Coast
league. . ..
.mat is tne aenniie promts mini
to us at that time.. If the .reports of
present plans are correct, that also la
the promise that tha national commis
sion now proposes o violate by raising
the rating of International league and -American
association clubs without
giving the Coast league similar recognition."
