lif July 1 there will 1e work
for everyone In Oregon who is
willing to work or to accept em
ployment aside from a particular
trade, declares C. H. Gram, srate
labor commissioner, in a report
completed yesterday and submit
ted to the government.
The report says that the num
ber of unemployed in Oregon had
been reduced to 7000, of whom
4,800 are in Tortland.
Situation Rapidly Clears
The decrease since April 1. said
commissioner Gram, has ben 10
nercent. and since January 1 he
decrease has amounted to 5000
There la now little demand for
agricultural laborers, says the re
port. For this class of labor
about 40 r month is being paid,
while a year ago the wage was
$75 a month. With road work
opening up. the commissioner be
lieves by May 31 the rumber of
unemployed will be nof more lhan
5000 and that by July 1 thor
will be work for everyone who
is willing to work, or to accept
employment aside from their re
gular trades.

The berry and larger fruit har
vests, the report aayrf, will also
help out the situatioi to a' large
degree.
The figures f'ommlion-ir Gram
gives in his report are fa.- more
encouraging than was anticipated

Not only is the number of idle

WASHINGTON, May 0. rarty
lines were broken In the senate
daring debate on the emergency
tariff bill today. Senator Moes,
Republican, New Hampshire, de
livering a scathing denunciation
of It. and Senator Ashurst. Demo
crat. Arizona, warning his col
leagues not to let "tho folks back
home" learn they stood for free
trade.
Senator Moses charged that a
great lobby was pressing for pass
age and attacked the leadersnip oi
his party lor its part in seeking to
enact such legislation. H was not
a Republican measure, be said,
and had no support from the en
tire houe insofar as it proposed
to contne war-time restrictions
on importations of dye.
Farmers Defended.
Senator Ashhurst said Demo
crats had lot elections in the
past on the issue of free trade and
the day had come when the rights
of the agriculturist must be given
equal consideration with those of
the manufacturer.
Mr. Moses' drive against the
lobby, which he Bald ''was the
largest, most highly organized,
best paid and most arrogant this
capitol has seen, brought a re
Joinder from Senator Knok, Re
publican, Pennsylvania, who
sponsored the amendment re
stricting dye importations. Mr.
Knok argued that the senator's
attitude was not based on the
views of future needs of the gov.
ernment in time of war.
Mo Make diarge
Mr. Moses submitted what he
described as a statement of ex
penditures by the American Dyes
institute covering its activities in
behalf of the tariff bill and total
ing approximately $104,000.
The Dupont interests also were
brought in by Mr. Moses as sup
porters of the dye institute. They
were represented, he said, by M.
H. Poucher, whom he described as
enjoying a large measure of con
trol over the dysstuff industry In
the United States.
Can't "Swallow It."
Recalling that he had opposed
the bill in the previous congress.
Mr.. Moset said he had hoped when
its reconsideration was begun by
the senate finance committee that
he would be able "to swallow it. I
even though holding my nose j
while voting for it."
'Its appearance, however, did j
not justify his hopes, he said.

Business mne who accom
panied Horace Sykes, repre
sentative of the state fire
marshal's department, on a
tour of inspection about the
business district yesterday,
following an address at the
Commercial club luncheon in
which Sykes declared that Sa
lem is among the dirtiest cit
ies in the state, declared that
Sykes had not overdrawn the
actual situation in his state
ments. Mr. Sykes pictured
fire hazards in Salem as ex
tremely dangerous.
The suggestion that Sykes
show some of the club mem
bers the conditions he had
mentioned was made by W. M.
Hamilton.
"I can endorse every word
Mr. Sykes said," declared
Hamilton after the trip.
"Salem ranks with the dirtiest
e ties In the state. If fire Is invit
.fl tt Is roinsr to come, and it is
invited bv conditions In Salem."
These were statements by
Sykes In addressing the Salem
Commercial club at the Monday
noon luncheon.
ltubbMi Prevalent
Mr. Sykes referred to the ac
cumulations of Inflammable rub
blsh in alleys and back premises
anad declared that Salem needs a
general clean-vp and needs It
badly. The stat department is
now making mi survey In the city
to ascertain the extent of fire haz
ards
"The numerous old frame
buildings with rrross-coverod or
verv dry shingle roofs are serl
ous fire hazards.' said Mr. Sykes
"And while there is a lot of very
i-twti elertrcal wiring in Salem
there s very much very poor wir
fng that constitutes another serl
ous danger."
Frame Garages Menace
Mr. Sykes told of the I camou
flr work of electrld wiring
wnrkmon in manv cities where
thev scorch the wood around cer
tain carts of the wiring to give
the imnression that soldering has
ien dnne when soldering has not
been used at all. The Portland
Ra'lway. Liht & Power company
maintains fire hazards Inspectors
by whom many jobs of bad wlrin
are eliminated.
Mr. Sykes deplored the preva
lence or frame garages In the
business blocks of Salem, with
oil-soaked wooden floors and
other hazards. Another' menace
pointed out is the habit of truck
operators in blockading alleys
with their trucks since the ordi
nance prohibiting their parking on
the streets in the business district
became effective.
Kul cm Iirge City.
"Salem now covers about nine
square miles and has a property
valuation of $12,000,000," the
speaker said, "but is protected by
one small fire department. Some
times the department has to run
two miles and because of the In
adequate water pressure at that
distance it is necessary to take
alone a pumper. The longest fire
ladder in the department is i
reet, and the department would
be expected to use this in fighting
fires in five-story buildings. There
is not a life net in the c.ty. At
five stories the water pressure is
ins enouzh to run out of the
nozzle. It Is inadequate to fight
fire effectively at a height of more
limn two stories.
"Tho Salem fire department has
seven men on each shift to protect
a blu-ger area and a greater valu
ation than any other fi" depart
ment in the state."
lUtc Fixed by Hurcau.
Josewh Baumgartner asked Mr.
Sykes if the remedying of condi
tions in Salem would bring a re
duction in insurance rates.
"That Is entirely in the hands
of the Oregon Rating bureau in
Portland," answered Mr. Sykes.
