The president of a public service cor poration said: "I'm inclined to tell some of the boys who enlisted from our service that they had been doing women's work and . that the women who took their places are doing better than they did. I had a man stenog rapher. lie enlisted. I employed i young woman to take his place. He , wants his place back. I can't give It to him for she is doubly efficient." I .A building manager said: "I for merly , employed men to operate ele- . vators. J now employ women alto gether. I will continue to do so. The women are more loyal and more de pendable." i "Women Will Be Betalned A foundryman said : "I find that women who took the places of men In the lighter pouring here do it with a care and efficiency I pever dreamed was possible from either men or women. They can hold their places." But, women are not the only competl-. ' ' tors for available jobs. Abandonment of war industry releases thousands of men congested in shlp- bulldlpg centers like Portland. These men, the majority of them, say the fed eral employment officers, have formed ties that will keep them here if they can find the work. Women becoming "regulars" instead of substitutes; men from war industries looking for work and the boys coming home. Portland has no labor shortage, now, says Wilfred Smith, director for Oregon of the federal employment ser vice, -Employers manifest no particular en thusiasm nor 'is there any particular community . spirit yet awakened In the matter of Industrial reinstatement of ". the soldiers, it is further said. Convention - Is Called The obvious relief is community or ganisation of employment. It Is Ines capably a state, public problem. The ' - governor has appointed a state commlt . tee headed by Mayor Baker of Portland and It in return has secured the services of Captain James Convill as executive secretary and he has taken up quarters .. with the federal employment people down at 247 Davui street A state-wide survey of Jobs available Is in progress. A state-wide reconstruction conven tlon has also been railed by governor's proclamation. It will meet in the Port , land Auditorium January 9, 10 and 11 :' the dates of the merged Oregon irriga ' tlon and drainage conventions. Leaders m public thought, representatives of in , cwtry, labor, agriculture, commerce. trade and vuslnes. are solicited .to at tend and focus all their ability, expert , ence and knowledge on the problem.

When those 200p soldiers get back, it is assured the greater majority of them will require assistance, especially in such matters as the maintenance of their government insurance, accumulated claims, court actions, "tide over" loans, new jobs, encouragement and other problems incident to readjustment.

No matter in what form the proposals or public works come before the reoon struction convention or are expressed in state programs. It Is certain that expressive sentiment t will be found against paying the going wage, or, In deed, doing public work that in any way competes with private employment.
