Thomp- f on," president of the Portland Woolen ' : mills, appeared as spokesman for ' his .employes at their request. A letter 1 Was also read from the state boarc. i Of health which stated that T orking conditions at the Portland Woolen mllla were such that a working day of 10 hours five days a -week and a half holiday on Saturday, would not prove a detriment to the women em- , ployed there. , . Dr. Pierce Speaks for K1UL -Dr. E. A. Pierce, a member of the ; board, spoke In favor of working and sanitary conditions at the mill. 1 ' Pressed by Mrs. L,. Gee, a member of s the -conference. Dr. Pierce .efused to commit himself to the principle that a 10 hour day was right for all women ; - la Industry. ,"I should have to see the plant first," - he said, "and good health Is primarily dependent on contentment with condl l tlons. Qf the Portland Woolen Mills specifically, however, I do not believe that a 10-hour day five days of the . week and a half holiday Saturday . would have any detrimental effect." i Vv Opposes 54-Hour Week. ? '..: " "Mrs. Oee declared herself unalter k . ably opposed to a 64-hour week. "I stand for a 48-hour week," she said, but If it must be a 54-hour week I ; would rather see five days of 10 hours ' and a half holiday than tlx days of nine hours each." -"I am with you for an eight-hour . day whenever It applies throughout the satire country," responded Mr. Thomp son. ' Thomas Roberts, a member of the i commission, suggested a CO-hour week. Wny not work nine hours for five - days and five hours on Saturdays?" . he asked. "Then the women will have their Saturday afternoons off." Mr. Thompson said in reply that the employes were on piecework and that , shortening of hours would curtail their earning power. .W.' F. Woodward of Woodard, ; Clarke & Co.. J. L. Bowman of J. L. v Bowman ft Co. and William Toung, 1: manager for R. O. Dun & Co., appeared before the conference as a committee . representing the Portland Chamber of Commerce, t. Mr. Woodward read a resolution drafted by the directorate of the cham- ber opposing the imposition of burden '. tom restrictions on the hours or wages of female labor. .';, .Wants Against Partner Aglutlon. - H supplemented the resolution by ."declaring that further agitation would rult in disaster for the state. Kast . rn capital is already timid, he as ., serted, and Oregon is already burdened ; as la no other state by a tax rate. He pleaded that the conference make no rulings which would stay the invest . went of money In the state. Mr. Young ' spoke along similar lines. jit 'Isn't It a fact that the Chamber of V Commerce began the agitation?" asked Thomas Roberts. j! . "It Is hardly fair to pillory a man "r Who raises his voice to protest against conditions he considers burdensome and . to call him an agitator," said Mr. Wood- wara in-; reply. ."We have tried to be fair to all con . ceroid," said Chairman . MacNaughton ; la rsply.

Plowden Stott is a Republican candi date for election to the house of rep resentatives from Multnomah county. He has pledged himself, if elected, to introduce a bill for the repeal of the vicious Hollls non-support amendment, to work for a law providing for the feeding and keep of county prisoners at actual cost and without profit to the sheriff, and for a. statute under which convicts will be transported from the point of commitment to the penitentiary by prison guards rather than by the sheriff, as is now the case.

A good roads campaign in Oregon without Frank Terrace of Orillia, Wash., would be like a presentation of Hamlet without a Hamlet. In past campaigns for bond issues In Clatsop, Columbia and Hood River counties Mr. Terrace was among the list of speak ers on the affirmative side. It has grown to be a fixed custom to "send for Terrace" who, according to Samuel Hill, has done more for good roads in proportion to his means than any other n-;n In America. The 'latest call for Mr. Terrace's services has come from Coos county where is pending the question of $362, 000 bond issue to be voted on next week. In response to the call he left Portland Monday night and opened a week's speaking tour , at North Bend last nieht. Among other outside speakers who will take part In the Coos county cam paign will be Roadrnaster Yeon and Commissioner Holman of Multnomah county. , North Bend, Or., May 10. The good roads campaign to educate the people on voting for the 32u,000 bond Issue, opened last night with a big meeting In this city. John Yeon, Frank Ter race and Rufui C. Holms were the speakers. Another meetinr will be held in Marshfield tomorrow . night and the visiting speakers will then make a tour of the entire county. Small Boat in Danger. Marshfield, Or.. May 10.

"I must take issue with any broad statement that the cost of living to wage-earners nas materially Increased," replied Mr. Woodward. "It is true, some things have advanced, but there have been compensating reductions rents for example." Mr. Roberts declared he had figures to support his contention.

Weather Conditions Harmless to Fruit Hood Blver District Gives Enoonrag lng Beport; , Orchardlsts Interested In Soil Culture and Spraying. Hood River's fruit crop is not to be hurt by the present spell of cool, wet weather, according to Wilmer Sieg, Kepresenting tile Hood River Growers' association, who is here on business. Mr. Sleg said the only effect so far has been to interfere with pollenlza tion. Orchardlsts Df the Hood River val ley, Mr. Sieg said, are devoting much time and pains this season to soil cul ture and spraying. Sixteen hundred barrels of lime and sulphur alone have been sprayed on the trees, compared with only 600 barrels last season.
