NEW YORK, March 25. The
American Federation of tabor
was criticized tonight by Dr. Ira
N. Holds, president of the Wor
ces?e Polytechnic, iaatitute for
what he- termed "undue exercise
of power by a. minority" In exert
ing: legislative and administrative
pressure In this country.
Addressing an assemblage of
mechanical and electrical engin
eer Dr. Hollia aald:
tWhen the American Federa
tion of Labor demands of congress

one of their number In his cabi

by j a minority just as serious to

While our loss seems heavy, we intend to resume the bushes;
at the old location just as soon as the carpenters can get it in shape.
We will have a store just as good as before, in fact our aim is to
make it even better, a bigger and larger business than ever.
Through the cooperation of our former patrons we will estab-
lish a store that you will be proud of.

Again we take this means to thank you. for your past patron
age. We never realized before as we do now of the innumerable

ates like the German-Americans
and the Irish-Americans.
"Unchecked power of minori
ties is a dauger to any form of
government. We saw what
threatened last winter when the
mining men went out.
Can that type of legislation
be tolerated which exempts or
ganized labor irom the statutes
while placing capital and all as
sociations under Junctions and
legal : prosecution? Positively
not."
IUilmtuI Worker t'nkmnel
Scoring what he alleged to 'be
the attitude of labor organiza
tions in teaching their members
to "put In hours simply to get
pay," the speaker continued:
"The main emphasis has besn
placed upon the reduction of
hours and more per nour. rarei
upon the increase of pay by rea
son of better work."
Railroad workers were con
demned by Dr. Hollia for control
ling this country as to its trans
portation system.
Regarding unemployment, he
said:
"There are four million men
seeking employment, four mMlion
units charged, we might say, with
electricity of a negative kind,
ready to fly towards any center
of attraction. They will form, un
less condUionscnaage, the nu
cleus of a bolshevik govern
ment." Three Killed in Wind

Demand for Labor
It is possible that the Salem
lumber mill of the Charles K
Spaulding Logging company will
close down indefinitely as a re
sult of a Reduction In wage for
common labor from 13.60 to $3.
?r.d a resolution on the part of
the emptor that they will not
accept It. The proposed reduc
tion has ben posted in the form
of a notice, and the action of the
employes was taken al a ineeting
Thuraitav nliiht. Conferences be
tween the employes and thfc man-
eement ars vet tO take Place.
The Spauldlng company also
has notified the .Loyal Lefcton of
Loggers and Lumbermen of Its
withdrawal from membership in
that organization, declaring that

GIRL WONDER RIVALS OLD MASTER WITH HER
jk, ;;. .a
When art ' connoisseurs behold j the drawings of Pamela
JIanco, fourteen years old, some of them recall Botticelli,
jome speak of Deard&Jey, some of Blake, and other? of Italian
west have reduced to $3, and
some to as low as $2.80. The
Loyal legion stands for a mini
mum wage -scale of $3.60.
Order Are Few.
Officials of the company say
that even under the reuueuon
there In no assurance that the
mill will continue In operation
for any l?ngth-of time. It is as
serted that there are few orders
to fill.
The employes declare that
should they accept the reduction
it would be only a short time
until further reductions would be
imposed upon them. It is under
stood here that within the next
three months the International
Timber Workers will ask for an,
increase in wages all oyer the
Pacific coast.
According to O. J. Myers, local
manager for the Spaulding com
pany, the mill .of the Willamette
Valley Lumber company at Dal
las and the Chambers mill at Cot
tage Grove have both cut the
minimum wage to $3. while the
Leona and the Bohemia mills
have cut to $2.60. Also, Mr.
Myers says that other mills hare
withdrawn from membership iu
the Loyal Legion because of the
fact that the legion has refused
to accede to a reduction to 13.
' Cat Fill Yards.
The Epaulding mill in Salem
has been operating fix hours a
day at the rate of $3.60 on an
eight-hour bnsis. Because of the
short demand for lumber it is said
to be difficult to dispose of eight-
hour cuts fast enough t ltaep the
j yards clear. However, when the
$3 minimum becomes effective
April 1 the company will em
deavor to run eight hours, and as
far as the employes are concerned.
the management of the mill
deems' It better to operate eight
hours at $3 than six hours on the
$3.60 , eight-hour basis, which
amounts .only to $2.70. .
"The drop in the pries of lum
ber from the high war figure to
the present price," said Mr. Myers
"is 60 per cent at least, which is
a far greater drop proportionately
than will be that in the minimum
wage from the war figure to the
$3 now fixed for April 1. The
wage drop will be only about 35
per cent. .
; r.mplojment Is Object.
"Lumber conditions are such
that we absolutely cannot con
tinue to operate at $3.60. And
as far as conditions are concerned
w would have no objection to
shutting down, except for the
fact that we want to run to furn
ish employment.
"We are not trying to make
money, but we do want to break
somewhere near even. I realist?
that $3 a day may not be -a high
(enough wage for the ordinary
man, but we are by no means sure
that we can continue operation
even at $3."
