M BROADENING FIELD OF WORK TO IE EDS Tasks Attempted Never Before Considered and Good Results Are Obtained From Activities. EFFORT AT HOME IMPORTAN Expnt ts Labor to Develop Morale of Men Who Are Behind the Boys at the Battlefront of War. With the advent of ths world war Into which th United States has been drawn, th Y. M. C. A. has entered fields of act!lty it not only never at tempted before, but never dreamed tit would attempt. But war is war, ana the "T" is doing its bit nobly and along all lines. . For lnatance. before wartime Y. M C. A. leaders hardly, would have be lieved they would have been encourag Inc Sunday baseball and setting men ln .. tcrested in other Sunday sports. Nor did the "Y" In antebellum days sell cigarettes far from It. But now the association is doing these things, be cause they are helpful to the men Hunday sports because they give recrea tion where there la no other time ; ciga rettes because the soldiers must have them. So the Y. M. C. A. la broadening Its field and doing a work that ts approved by the army, as witnessed by the teatl monlal nearly every soldier boy gives in his letters home, and approved by tho people, as shown In their contribution of millions of dollars to the work. The Y. M. C. A. work In the army has beer, described from every angle by hundreds of writers, all attesting its necessity. Developing Morale at Home But just new arid closer home, the Y. M. C A, la attempting a great work hardly less Important In the war Indus tries of the-nation. It Is endeavoring to develop the morale of the men behind the boys at the front, and to this end la sending men throughout the country to bring employers and employes closer to gether, to bring about better working conditions for the men and to aid them In whatever way possible. Experts along these lines, the best men the country has, are being secured for this work, the men giving their time without Tay. Nor Is this work being? done at the cost of that in France, for a separate budget Is being prepared to care for It. Uitt week Portland "was the scene of many conferences along this line, lead era In many departments of Industrial Y. M. C A. work being In attendance Big Men Helping Among theim were Harry N. Clarke, he "golden rule" manufacturer of Cleve and, Ohio, who has not discharged ian In 15 years or. had a single wage dispute; George S. Gardiner of New York, president of the Eastman-Gardt- ner Lumber edmpany, a. great Southern timber Industry, -and Charles Green- of Laurel, Miss., manager or that concern; Peter Roberts of New York, secretary of the international committee, Industrial department, Y M. C. A., particularly tng In Americanization; F. A. McCarl of ,8artf Francisco, secretary of the war work council of the Y..M. C A. on the Paclfla Coast; 'Clarence Phelps Dodge of New York and Colorado Springs, pub lisher of the Colorado Springs Gazette: J. R. Ports, head of the religions work department of the army work of the Y. M. C A. on the Coast: J. A. Goedell, , Northwest Industrial secretary of the Y. M. C. A. : Z. O. Nichols, industrial sec retary of the Y. M. C. A. in Portland. Mr. Clarke promulgates the rather amaslng doctrine that only through the adoption of principles lived by Christ . an labor troubles be ended in the In dustrial world. He asserts that the only . way to settle labor trouble is to look at . them in the way Christ would have done. Y. M. C. A. la Woods "We do this and we - have no labor troubles," eays Mr, Clarke. "We, pay higher. wages than the unions ask,' our labor la union labor, we have no time clocks, our people of the productive class never are -late, we. have no dissatisfied . employes, and consequently no troubles. I have no hope that all operatives will adopt this plan, but I amr presenting It as I can to do what good I can, for the betterment ef conditions of both the op eratlve and productive classes. In the lumber camps of Uie Eastman Gardiner company there is a Y. M. C A. always. It is located In the center of the camp and -becomes a social center as well as a club for the men. These camps are somewhat unique In that the company cares for the families of the men and furnishes them - cottages In room units, a family taking as many rooms as It, wishes. "When the camp is moved these rooms are seised by a huge crane and loaded with their furniture aboard cars and moved, not a stick of . furniture belrtg taken from. Its place or damaged. .

It gives them a feeling of home, a place of amusement entertainment and recreation. And when the men get away from our camp they miss It and they want to come back. We have not a man in a place of any Importance at all who has not been with us for 10 years or more. .They like the Y. M. C. A. It Is the chief magnet that draws and holds our men." That, la the way Mr. Green looks at it, and he believea the plan can be worked out. here. Mr. Gardiner sees conditions much differently, . but thinks details alone would have tc be changed. Mr. Dodge Js a newspaper man who knows the business from the bottom up, and he knows what the Y; M. C. A. means to business, what . It means to very young man. "It Is the greatest thlAg In the life of the young American today," says he, "and I am devoting my time to further ing Us work among the men engaged, in war work." - j The conferences held here were highly satisfactory to the men who attended them. Not only did they talk over prob lems with men who are handling them here, :but ,they. visited factories, ship yards, logging and lumber camps In Portland, and vicinity. The conferences ciosea jrriaay nignt and the party.lead ers went from here to Seattle,- where tney win do similar work.

Venus headquarters are at present at the Red Cross central salvage station at Third and Oak streets, where she will re main until her transfer is effected through the interchange of currency. For the salvage station Is doing a big business. Not only Is it a receiving sta tion for whatever patriotic cltlsens may see fit to donate, but His a distributing and sales station as well. Wide Assortment Offered Between IS and 16 tons of paper have been sold to the Astoria Paper as Pulp company, netting the Red Cross nearly $130, which each day gathers up the. bundles from the walk in front of the building. One man has offered to pay them $30 a ton for papers that are clean and neatly folded. All the clothing and moot of the art icles of value are sent to the Red Cross shop to be sold, but each day sees a steady volume of sales at the salvage station. "It Is wonderful." says Mrs. S.

' "How much are these gloves r asks a woman, leading a little girt by one hand, and holding in the other a pair of second handed gloves. -One of the most pathetic cases of Red Cross giving that has occurred at the station, according to Mrs. Murray, was that of an old negro man. very shabbily dressed and hungry looking.

The man laid two shining dollars before her, the onlg thing he had to give. "I did not want to take the money," said Mrs. Murray, "for I felt It was all he had. and he looked as though he needed help himself.' Then the man began to wipe his eyes with a red bandana handkerchief. "I can never pass a place like this without stopping, he explained. He would rot give his name.
