Because transcontinental railroads worked against Northwest pine lumbermen and favored the Southern pine industry - in readjust ment - of freight rates, ' members of the Western Pine Manufacturers' associa tion at their semi-annual meeting here yesterday, pledged themselves to utilize water routes when possible. Pine men attached no blame to the interstate com merce "commission. ' i A. W. Cooper, manager of the West ern Pine association, who attended the Spokane -- meeting, declared Thursday that while the pine lumbermen did not go so far as actually; to pledge use of water routes, the temper of the meeting was such that should water rates go down sufficiently, they certainly would take advantage of them. "The feeling was that the transcon tinental lines have betrayed . their own industries into the hands of thejf com petitors." said Cooper. :j "The thing that makes this action possible is because, most of the pine mills are so far from the tide water that the local rates more than eat , up any saving , which water rates would allow. ''Consequently, the mills must ship, even at the discrimina tory rates. 4 by rati and the fair profit has to come from the mill In this terrl tory to meet the competition, favored by lower rates, of the southern territory."

Shinners, attorney, who has brought charges against the state board of health for alleged "farming out" of such girls. '"is This estimate of the situation is made by Miss Anna Murphy, rehabilitation officer for the state board, in contradict ing the accusations of . Shinners, -We need such a home more than any thingwhere girls can secure room and board at a- reasonable rate and, in a word, live a happy, - normal life," Miss Murphy said. ' fifOMES HARD TO GET "It isn't the: fact that - we sometimes make mistakes In kJet selection of homes for these girls, but it is the fact -that we find homes at all to receive them that is remarkable. The public doesn't await girls from the Cedars with open arms. "The Portland Federation of Churches has promised to undertake the erection of such a home for girls, modeled on the 'Friendly House of San Francisco, and It said to be waiting only for the neces sary funds." Miss ; ,Murphy reviewed Shinners' charges in an apparently satisfactory re tort characterized by a rather general denial of the attorney's statements. She tells what she declares is "the other half of the story. Shinners tells about girls driven into slavery." 8H1NNEKS ADDS TO CHARGES Shinners Thursday added to his charges when he declares Miss Murphy's previous statements were "admissions in avoidance." He especially criticised the board's activities in connection with the House of the Good Shepherd, a Catholic Institution. i . "There," Shinners said, "e-irln ar. n'nf through the state board of health to! woric at laundry mangles on long shifts and in remuneration get nothing but very humble bed and board. They are not even clothed and get no money for their work. '"Why is it that these girls, paroled and therefore free lances so long as they live up to the terms of their parole, are required to work free of charge on laundry solicited about' town and paid for to the profit of a church? The church collects its mohey for this laun dry, but the girls get none of the profits. The scheme is not only brutally unfair to the girls, but to private industry.. "Why ar.e girls sent out to thtf Oregon City hospital to work long hours at menial tasks and then, when they object to the hours, are arrested for violating their paroles?" COlCDITlOSrS ABE DENIED These conditions, except as to the House of the Good Shepherd, Miss Murphy denies. . As to that institution, she declares, she has nothing tp say for she does not commit the vgirls to it. They are senL there, or elsewhere, when they violate ; their paroles, by the municipal court upon recommendation of the board of health attorney. "Our girls are victims of circumstances the lack of proper sex instruction for both boys and girls broken homes, lax divorce laws and little preparation for marriage," Miss Murphy avers.. "The children who go wrong are In very few cases the children of normal homes:" i S. P. Agent Resigns H. D.

Up for Solution iv' Although announcement was received from Washington Thursday that the In terstate Commerce commission had de clared that return tickets ' and ; scrip books purchased before higher 'railroad rates become effectives would ' not- be valid when the new schedules go into effect, local railroad officials Thursday expressed the opinion that there was not a provision in the I. C. C regula tions which would permit invalidation. The . messages received in Portland said that the commission was working out plans to declare 'the tickets invalid, but the local officials declared that this procedure would necessitate- a change in the T.
