Whether or tot the mill compan ies of Bend are paying an adequate wage, In consideration of present day living costs, is the question which the state conciliation board Is endeavoring to solve through tbe aid of open hearings being conduct ed here today, while a question of Importance, to which T. A. McCann, of The Shevlin-Hixon Company, is endeavoring to find the answer, is as to Just what amount of popular demand by tbe employes, .warranted a strike threat in connection with the revised Wage scale proposed by the International tlmberworkers' un ion. Mr. McCann was tbe chief wit ness appearing this morning in tbe hearing conducted in the city rooms by Otto R. Hartwig and J. K. Flynn. the two members of the board whs made their appearance in Bend this morning. In addition to the matter of living costs, the question of freight differentials will be consid ered, as the board recognizes that a common scale for different points In tbe white pine district, would give an advantage to mills farther east I in competitive selling.

"Shed labor," . the Sheviln Hixon manager pointed out, "is paid less than common labor. It Is easier,' and is generally reserved for men Who are unable to do hard work. iuid i Li (i ii i ii ucfliiwi, ia titui d iiau 60 years of age, and is virtually holding down a pension job." Merohnnts Deny Profiteering. At this point, a statement signed -by the merchants of Bend, denying tlint they are profiteering, mention ing the isolated position of the city as a roason for slightly higher costs than may bo prevailing In other parts of the state, and courting In vestigation, was received as evi dence by the board. . : .
