The sentt---ment of the association was that the ; need was greatest, for small parks and i recreaxion ceniers.

Meredith,, convicted October 23, of violation of the first espionage act. Meredith was - ac cused of obstructing the military serv ice by making depreciatory remarks about War Savings Stamps. -He alleged that the original espion age act did not refer definitely to remarks about such war activities, and that : the ; amendment which finally did Include specific mention of War. Savings Stamps was passed after he was in dicted : And therefore 'ex , post facto," The judgment? was,i set aside and; new trial granted by Judge. Bean on grounds : that casual remarks about the lnadvisabljlty pf War Savings Stamp as an investment could not be con sidered as a violation of the original act which provided for Indictment only of persons actually obstructing : mili tary service or operations, , , , OF BERRIES VILL BE KEPT IN GOOD SHAPE Many Workers Are Needed to Harvest Crop This Year; High Wages Being Paid. Hundreds of .berry pickers are great ly needed by the fruit growers in the Willamette and .Hood River valleys, ac cording to both men's and women's di visions of the U. S. government employ ment service at Third and Oak and at Fourth and Oak. A new feature has been introduced in the berry picking work for women this year in the way of making the camps clean and suit able for women workers., Mrs. Bruce Scott, who is in charge of this division of the women's employment work, will visit the various fruit-growing communities, starting from here on Wednesday to determine-whether or hot the conditions are suitable. In every, case where aoj employer 'sends for help the office immediately mails him a ques tionnaire to investigate ; the fitness of the camp. One of the most recent plans is that of having a supervisor with every large camp of women and girls, whose busi ness 1t willfbe to see that the living ac commodations and food are suitable. Many supervisors now through the em ployment service are recruiting groups of about 80 or more women and girls to take them in a body to the picking ground. Mrs. I Jump leaves today for Newberg with a party of 15 stenograph ers who are to take their summer va cations picking berries. Miss Jesse MacGregor, former president of the Portland Grade Teachers' association, is to be supervisor of a camp of teachers in one of the Willamette valley com munities. - ' . "It seems,!" aid Mrs. Scott 'this morn ing, "that' ttfe employers this , year are offering unusually fihe inducements. The wages are high and the living con ditions are better than ever.. It is really a fine opportonity for women and chil dren to spend their summer vacation and earn money at the same; time. I need right now four camps totalling 'TSOO women. "There is every prospect that this sort of work will last fill summer, the work ers going from one job to another near byh We are In great need of workers." The conditions are much the same for thi men's department. Federal State Director Wilfred Smith has detailed Charles B. Green for the work at Hood River of finding the number of pickers needed and communicating with the Portland offices. Placements by the employment serv ice during the month of May all over the state totalled 9863 men and women. Of thl snumber $71 were women and 1403 were discharged "-service men. The placements in. Portland alone, including men, women and ex-service men, to talled 7561. .
