Lists Some Roads
PORTLAND. Ore., July 81
(AP)- An increase of 10 per cent
In the minimum wages of workers
on highway projects in Oregon
was voted today by the state high
way commission at a meeting here
today. The scale is to remain in
effect, It was decided, until such a
time as a national code might
bring about further changes.
Under the scale the minimum
rate for unskilled labor Is 55
cents an hour and for skilled la
bor, 65 cents an hour.
Ben T. Osborne, secretary of
the state federation of labor, ap
peared before the commission to
reiterate organized labor's request
that the old scale of what he
called "prosperity days" be re
stored. Leslie M. Scott, chairman
of the highway commission, said
that Oregon would follow the
minimum wage scale adopted by
the neighboring states of Wash
ington and Idaho, Involving a 10
per cent increase in each state.
Osborne objected that the 55
and 65 cent rate would be too low.
and would be accepted as a maxi
mum scale. "It doesn't conform
with the Roosevelt deal. It does
n't raise buying power," Osborne
declared.
Some Contractors
Xow Paying More
Hhchway officials answered that
the rate was -plainly a mini-
mum," and that some contractors
are paying more for skilled labor
now than the new minimum.
Carl G. Washburne of Eugene,
member of the commission, said
he understood that there will be a
highway construction industry
code by September 1. He express
ed doubt that much work would
be contracted before then. R. H.

The nrezon-Washinrton Water

amended complaint in the water
bond test case. The answer was
filed with the county clerk and
comprises another step in the tor
tuous litigation which has follow
ed the vote of Salem citizens De
cember 15. 1931, in which a bond
Issue of $2,500,000 was authoris
ed for the purchase or construc
tion of a mountain water system
for Salem.
The water company's demurrer
to the city's declaratory judgment
proceeding was overruled by the
state supreme court. The company
now seeks to defeat te city's
move for a declaratory Judgment
on the merits of the case. The
gist of the company's objections
to the proposed bond issue Inheres
in alleged inequalities to taxpay
ers which might result from a de
claratory Judgment - decision fav
orable to the bonds.
The case is now at issue In cir
cuit court hero unless further mo
tions or demurrer are filed. If and
when a decision is handed down
in circuit court, an appeal by
plaintiff or defendant to the su
preme court Is probable.
Nearly 100 pages of exhibits
accompanies the water company's
answer to the city's second com
plaint.
