According to statements made by the Portland Chamber
of Commerce,, $200,000,000 of Portland money has been in
vested in outside and foreign enterprises since January 1,
1918, and only $500,000 in new manufacturing enterprises
in Portland.
The same situation obtains to a large extent in other
Oregon cities. Millions of dollars have been sent out of
Salem during this interval for investment elsewhere and a
comparatively small amount invested in local enterprises.

The Silverton. Spaulding and
other mills operating in Marion
county will be affected, according
to reports, by a voted 10 cent per
hour decrease in the wage scale of
common labor.
A vote of 15 to 9 of the direct
ors of the Loyal Legion of Log
gers and Lumbermen in session
yesterday at Portland decided the
decrease which will lower com
mon labor from $4.40 to $.1.00 per
day. This scale however, will not
necessarily be the "going wage"
of the majority of mills because It
has been the practice of no few
mills to pay in excess of the min
imum scale. The amended scale
has been effective since January,
1920.
