a week, and four hours on the sixth
day, with' a maximum of K hours a
week, according1 to a decision of the
J conference committee of the Indus-
trial Wlfaro (-ommlmioL yesterday
afternoon.
With this decision, the conference
concluded Its deliberations on the
oneatlona on which recommendations
iot ruunga as aiieciing- noun, wages,
working conditions and apprenticeship
. of women In industry were asked by
the commission.
'.; The, findings of the conference will
.'. now be published and a final public
y.b earing- will be held Tuesday, May 23.
I Following this hearing, the recom
J mendatlons will be made to the In
' : dustrlal Welfare commission.
; -a .. JUglit ' la rorm of Option.
The right given to woolen mills to
: work their employes 10 hours a day
f. for five days and four hours on the
, sixth day Is In the form of an op
( Hon,' as the general rule for manu-
facturlng establishments as laid down
1 by tb conference Is for nice hour
;, dr.
i ' Tbls option was given on the earn
est representations of thj employes'
of 'ths mlUs themselves.
; : At yesterday's hearing L.. 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. The chamber will agree that
this conference has teen remarkably
? conservative when It comes to read our
4 " findings."

Plouden Stott.
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.

OrUlia, Wasn Authority to Aid la
Campaign on Proposed 9363,000 Bond
lira.
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. A small
fishing boat wich two men took from
Coos bay expecting to go to southern
California to engage in fishing, was
reported anchored off one of the reefs
near Port Orford.
Those who have seen the boat
from the shore say if the sea gets no
rougher and it the anchor lines hold
the little boat may weather through,
but she appears to be in considerable
danger.

Brownsville, Or., May 10. Gladys

that there is little hope of her re
covery, In a fire which Sunday de
stroyed the farm home of Charles

Brownsville and Shedd. The girls' hair

added Mr. Roberts.
"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.
Recommendations of the conference
apply to mercantile, manufacturing,
laundry, personal service, public house
keeping, telephone and telegraph and
oiiiue occupations.

Insane Man Captured.
Marshfield, Or., May 10. After a
desperate struggle Deputy Sheriff
Laird Tuesday captured Will Peterson,
a young farmer who lives with his
mother in the Arago district, on Co
qullle river, and who has become in
sane and terrorized the neighborhood.
Peterson drove away with a pitch
fork every one who came near his
plaoe, and it was feared he would
slay some one. When the deputy ar
rived Peterson ordered him from the
place and It -vai only after a hand
to hand struggle that the insane man
was subdued and taken to jail.
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.
Much nitrate is being put back into the
soil and Mr. Sleg said prospects for a
successful crop this year are excellent
The by-products plant at The Dalles Is
expected to use up a large percentage
of the fruit that hitherto has been put
on the market along with the A-l qual
ities, and thus the growers will be
enabled to Improve the general qual
ity of their best product.
