Large delegations of hotel and tele-j , phone men appeared before the confer ence end presented their arguments against one day's rest In seven for their employes. sk That V,otels Be Excepted. Phil Metschan Jr., of the Hotel Im perial and Manager I -a rim ore of the Hotel Oregon were the chief spokeu mn for the hotelmen, arguing that the nature of the hotel Is such thnl It Is a J4-hour-a-day, seven-days-a-week busi ness. f ' Particular emphasis was laid on the effect of a one day's rest on the small country hotel, where It Is often Im possible to secure competent substi tutes. They expressed themselves as Satisfied with the other provisions as -outlined by the conference for women employes In hotels. 4 . Vo r nrther Hotel Bearings. Arrangements were made to present testimony and arguments from country 'hotelmen next week, but at the close of yesterday's meeting, on motion of Ev erett Ames, It was decided to dispense with another hearing and to concede .the reasonableness of the hoteiman's point of view. It was voted, however, that women employes should not he employed more than 54 hours a week. How the operation of a telephone ex Change Is a continuous business ex tending over 24 hours of the day. seven days of the week, was related by A. J Vance of Medford. S. G. Hughes of Forest Grove, o. F. Casper of Inde pendence, C. D. Wells of Hlllsboro and Manager Crowe of La Grande. Some Telephone Exchanges Excepted. "'. The conference decided that In ex Changes outBlda of Portland the one day's rest provision would not apply, the telephone men expressing them selves as satisfied with the other rec ommendations v-to hours, minimum wage and the few of the conference. "Several of the exchange men told of their systems whereby the girls get every second or third Sunday off, working the maximum of 54 hours one week and 48 or a less number of hours the next. It Is probable that the con ference will require adjustments so .that the operators get a Sunday off at Stated Intervals. mhllo Bearing to Be Announced. The conference has now made tenta tive recommendations on all the classes of industry Indicated by the Industrial . Welfare commission and will adopt them finally at its next meeting. Fol lowing publication, a public hearing will be held for final consideration before they are turned over to the commission, tor rejection or adoption. Separate conference recommenda tions will be made on telephone and telegraph business, mercantile occupa tions, personal service occupations which Include manicuring, hairdreso ing and barberlng; manufacturing oc cupations, excepting fruit and veg etable drying, canning and packing and laundering. Definition of a Laundry. ' 'The conference has adopted the fol lowing definition of a laundry: "A laundry Is a place where clothes are washed or cleaned by any process by any person, Jrm, Institution, corpo ration or association making a charge therefor, and laundry worn shall in- ' elude all the processes connected with the receiving, marking, washing, clean ing. Ironing and distributing of wash, able materials. The work performed in laundry departments In hotels and factories shall be considered as laun dry work." The provision for a nine hour day in the manufacturing lines brought a protest from Mrs. L. Gee that unlc.s the . conference could make recom mendations on the number of hours per week the half holiday now com mon In some establishments would be . done away with . . Wants Half Holiday Betained. . The practice Is to work five days ' of ten hours each the first five days and. four hours on Saturday, making Urges Modification Of the Traffic Rules Police Pavor Amendment Permitting; Two Streams of Trafflo Each Direc tion on. Broadway and Steel Spaas. At the request of H- P. Coffin, chairman of the public safety com mission. Chief of Police Clark" has submitted a letter to the county com missioners, suggesting a modification o the recent traffic rules adopted for trie Willamette river bridges, pertain ing to the passage of vehicles over the Broadway and Steel bridges. The commission's recent decree was that only one stream of traffic in each direction could pass over these bridges Because of the width of the two bridges mentioned, and the amount of traffic, It Is considered feasible by the police that two streams of traffic in each direction be allowed. The two Inside streams will be for fast moving vehicles, including all emergency machines, light delivery automobiles and motorcycles. The outside streams of traffic with be for slower vehicles. The inside stream will also include the streetcar traffic, and the inside streams on the Broad way bridge will move on the car 1!3&! aiHiiiiimuiiiiiiiiim A NH WATCH REPAIRING AND CLEANINGMAIN FLQQRim a total of 54 hours for the week and giving a half holiday. "I'd rather see a ten hour day and tbe 64 hour week,"' said Mrs. Gee, "than a nine hour provision that cuts out the half holiday." Opinion was expressed by several members of the conference that the committee did not have the authority from the Industrial Welfare commis sion to touch weekly hours. Sanitary Recommendations.
