PRINTERS-WANT
SEVEN-HOUR DAY
AT $1 PER HOUR
First Meeting of the Arbitration
Committee Held in the Oregon
Building Friday Night.
DIETRICH MAKES STATEMENT
Decision Is Expected About the
First of October; Present Wage
$36 for 48 Working Hours.
A seven-hour workday, with wages
at $1 per hour," constitutes the chief
demand of the allied printing trades
unions in their controversy with the
Employing Printers' association.
The first meeting of the arbitration
committee appointed by the contend
ing factions to settle their differ
ences was held at the office of the
secretary of the Employing Print
ers' ass6ciatIon, in the Oregon build
ing, Friday night.
Franklin T. Griffith, president of the
Portland Railway, Light & Power com
pany, la chairman of the committee ; the
unions are represented by F. D. Wil
liams and A. C. Raven and the employ
ers by Ed James and M. J. Sweeney.
i unions and Ray Fennel, secretary of the
employers- association, will handle the
cause of that organization.
REPORTERS ADMITTED
v Objections to the presence of newspa
per men, raised by members of the em
ployers' association, were overruled by
Chairman Griffith at the opening of the
meeting. Sessions of the arbitration
committee are to be open to the public.
he said, and there could be no valid
reason for excluding representatives of
the press. Representatives of the j
unions concurred with the decision of '
the chairman. I
The entire session was taken up with
Dietrich's statement of the case of the
unions. He contended that the wages
asked are not exorbitant, considering
the high cost of living and that the na
ture of the work performed makes a
workday longer than seven hours bur-
j densome to the employes and unprofit
i able, to the employers. He pointed out
that raises have been made in the price
of printing by the employers in anticl- j
pation of an advance In wages, and de- I
clared that the prices received for com-
mercial printing would easily take care ;
of the proposed rise in the wage scale.
FEN NELL TO ANSWER
Dietrich charged the Employing Print
ers' association with trade agreements
which eliminate competition between
members. TtMs and other charges will
be answered by Secretary Fennell of the
employers' organization in a statement
to be submitted to members of the ar
bitration committee and attorneys for
the two factions.
I Tho second meeting of the committee
will be held not later than Thursday,
ad it ' expected that a decision will
h reached about the first of October,
Tlie present scale of the job printers is
$36 for a week of 48 working hours.

i HOLD SESSION AND
Probationary Teachers Must Be
Reported on at Least Three
Times During School Year.
A report on every probationary teach

ment, according to a new ruling which
Superintendent D. A. Grout has in
stituted and which he explained to the
principals in session this morning at
the courthouse. This report or memo
randum can be made as often as is de
sired and regarding any regular teacher
also, but it must be made at least three
times annually for a probationer. It
may be in the nature of criticism, favor
able comments, suggestions or any rele
vant remarks.
Grout also presented befor the prin
cipals the plan of cooperative commit
tees whose purpose shall be to secure
for the schools the benefit of collective
judgment. Three members will compose
this committee, one each from the pri
mary, the intermediate and the ad
vanced departments. Among other
things these committees will inform
themselves of the desirability of the
continuation of present text books.
Intelligence tests also came up for
attention, Grout asking the teachers not
yet to make tests but to follow the de
velopment of intelligence tests and
wherever they can be followed to be of
help. Grout believes that while the
test? are in no way reliable at present,
they may develop into valuable aids.
"So far as the promotion of children
Is concerned, it" is not what they have
learned but what they can learn," he
said.

Church Is Raised in
Real Pioneer Style
Chillieothe. Ohio. Real pioneer meth
ods marked the building of Gllkle chapel
in Springfield township, this county.
The people wanted a church. They
did not wait for some denomination to
xme In and build it for them, .but
turned in and built it themselves. Now
they have as neat a little church as can
be desired, all the work of their own
hands.
H. W. Gilkie gave the land on which
the building stands. Other neighbors
gave lumber, not sawed into boards but
standing in trees in the forest. The
men sharpened their axes and cut down
lhe trees. Then the logs were hauled
to the right place, and evtry stick of
lumber used In the frame of the church
was sawed right there. '
When the timbers were ready notice
was sent out and the men of the neigh
borhood gathered for an old-fashioned
"raising."
After the frame was up the men made
the pews and all the necessary furnish
ings. The women of the community
were not idle, either, and with chicken
suppers they helped secure funds for
the incidental expenses.
Then a preacher was needed and the
Rev. Daniel McQuaid, having become
interested in the community, bought 40
acres of ground near the church. He
will farm six days and preach on the
seventh. As Methodists, Baptists and
Presbyterians helped m the building of
the chapel, it will be a real community
affair.
