The wage advance, effective for the next 12 months, makes 47 cents an hour the minimum wage paid in the mill here. The maximum work week will be continued at 40 hours. The employers of all paper mills affected by the agreement have agreed voluntarily to con tinue the limitation of hours and the new wage scale, regardless of the fact that the paper mill code was invalidated by a recent de cision of the United States su preme court. The new agreement follows one made last August when the International Brotherhood of. Pa per Makers and the International Brotherhood of Pulp Sulphlte"and Paper Mill Workers were recog nized as the exclusive eolfettive bargaining agency for their mem bers In the mills. The new agree ment designates these unions to serve in the same capacity for the next 12 months.

N. Bush could be used for the purposes of a site for a state cap itol under the terms of the deed. The deed, executed In 1917 and conveying the property to the city, sets out that the "property is to be used only as a park and as a memorial to Asahel Bush." The deed provides that the park must be termed "Bush's pasture." The tract conveyed is the east section of the area new called Bush's pasture. The property deeded to the city does not in clude the land on the bluff in the west section of the tract. The deed provides that any deviation from the terms of the transfer shall render the title of the city void and shall return the land to A N. Bush or his heirs. One of the considerations for the deed was a pledge by the eity that no franchise should be given any railroad to build through the section deeded to the city or the section retained by A. N. Bush and Miss Sally Bus!.. At least a portion of the pro posed site for the capitol in Bush's pasture would be on the section deeded to the city in 1917. Dictation by Employes Banned by Board So-called disgruntled employes will not be allowed to dictate the conduct of Oregon's state institu tions, members of the state board of control agreed following a lengthy executive session yester day. The conference was called By Governor Martin at the request of Oscar Kaufer of Portland, ex parole officer at the state train ing school for boys. 'Kaufer contended that he had done a good job at the school but that his efforts had not been ap preciated. The lack of appreciation, Kauf er said, was due to a misunder standing on the part of Sam Laughlin, superintendent of the institution. Kaufer originally was employ ed in the state purchasing depart ment during the Meier adminis tration but later accepted the of fice of parole officer at the hoys' school. He recently filed his resigna tion and It was accepted. Lauxhlin refused to make any definitely in the voluntary NRA lineup, the head of the United States chamber of commerce de clared President Roosevelt's pro posed "codeless NRA" was exactly fwhat business wanted. "All across the country, busi ness men of substance are living op to the gains of the NRA," said Harper Sibley, president of the chamber, In Rochester, N. Y. Many of the voluntary agree ments were termed "ballyhoo," however, by General Hagh S. Johnson, who advocated a policy of "cracking down" on recalci trant employers while he was NRA chief. Johnson, speaking at Swamp scott, Mass., contended that in many instances the promises to maintain wages, hours and fair trade practices were intended to last only until congress adjourns and were designed to ward off a wave of public resentment against "chiseling."

TURNER WASHINGTON. June 5-(JP)-With President Roosevelt's mid get NRA proposal heading toward quick congressional approval. Senator Robinson of Arkansas, the democratic leader, tonight predicted no further legislation on the subject at this session. His statement, conditioned by an assertion that unforeseen con ditions might make a further more necessary, capped a day in which the capital sought to gauge conflicting indications of the ad ministrat'on's intention. "If NRA is extended with the exception of those features and provisions held invalid by the court," Robinsoon told reporters, "I do not expect further legisla tion on the subject during the present session. "Unquestionably the study of the problem will continue. Effects of -the decision will be taken note of and when and if conditions in dicate the necessity for further legislation, it will be presented." Richberg Not Expecting To Head Temporary NRA Meanwhile, Donald R. Rich berg, NRA chief, left a discussion with President Roosevelt saying that he did not expect to head the temporary NRA contemplated by the president. He added he hoped to stick to his previous plan of quitting NRA as soon as possible after June 16. No decis ion had been reached, he said, on the form the new organization would take. At the same time, Representa tive Snell, the republican leader, in a formal statement, interpreted the president's proposal as "more in the line of a complete surren der than you would expect from the present occupant of the White House." He added: "It seems to me that if the NRA had so many redeeming features as its supporters and propagan dists have told the American peo ple it had, that it is certainly sur prising to have it abandoned with out any effort whatsoever of pre serving those parts of It that are admitted to be of benefit to the people and probably could be tak en care of within the limits of the supreme court decision."
