STATE CHA-MBER OF COMMERCE The Oregon State . Chamber of Commerce, organized at Portland on December 12, promises to become a "Useful unit in the future welfare of ' the state. George Quayle, general secretary ot the organization, Has been busy the past few days getting in touch with the secretaries of the various chambers of commerce over the state, and in a letter to these secretaries he outlines the aims of the statewide association as follows: He assures us that the organiza tion win nor oe controlled uy ron- land, for the reason that but two of the fifteen directors are Portland men. Neither are the officers Port land men,' with the' exception of one rice president. It is non-political and every county In the state is said to be represented. Charles Hall, of Marshfield, Is president of the or ganization and F. S. Bramwell, of Grants Pass, is one of the three vice presidents. Mr. Quayle says of the organization: "It is formed for the purpose of encouraging development ot the na- tural resources of the State of Ore gon, and the trade and commercial intercourse between the different parts ot this state and between this state and contiguous territory, and lso with foreign countries, and of promoting cooperation between chambers of commerce, commercial Industrial, agricultural, and other or sanitations, increasing their effici ency and extending their usefulness. It is intended to secure cooperate .... - . i iijl- action In advancing the common pur poses of Its members, uniformity and equity In business usages and laws and proper consideration and concen tration of opinion upon questions ef fecting financial, commercial, agri cultural, civic and Industrial inter ests ot the state." The next meeting of the chamber will be held In Portland on January 11, that being the last day of the ir rigation congress convention. ' BEGINNING TO DRIFT With the halt in ship construction thousands of men are pouring out of the shipbuilding districts, from the sawmills and the lumber camps. Al ready many of these men are reach- work. Thousands of employes were thrown,' out of Jobs in the ""Pu get Sound country, a great number . were let out .in , the Columbia River dis trict, while It is rumored that in the vicinity of Oakland and San Fran cisco from" 115,600 to25)00d men sud denly found work. themselves, .without While it la reported that the mi- New SALT MACKEREL - AND CODFISH MIDDLES KINNEY & TRUAX GROCERY i - . v v I -, QUALITY IR&T f J, Jorlty ot these men "laid up for a rainy day," there were ' thousands who did not need the warning, con sequently the signing ot the armis tice and the sudden shutting down of war Industries came as a dire catastrophe to them. The easy shifts and high wages disappeared before their eyes like the little round ball in the three shell game. And now many ot them are already seek ing some sort of a Job at "most any old wage." A number of them have passed through Grants Pass during the past few days. In view of this very condition, the big reconstruction convention is to be held at Portland on the 9th, 10th and Ilth of this month. Not only must the returning soldier be cared for, but also that vast army ot work men who have been turned out Into a cold world, without a job and tar less than ninety days from broke, by the war department suddenly clamp ing down the lid on western indus tries. The reconstruction convention will face a hard task. Let us hope that they will quickly find the pro per solution ot the problem. STEAM ROLLER COMING One . of the inconsistencies of Mr. Gompers and his organizations is the attitude of demanding the highest wages and shortest hours in the world and In the same breath advo cating that American industries be left unprotected and at the mercy ot world competition which is not gov erned by high wages and short hours. Already the press dispatches show that millions of dollars of orders with American firms have been can celled by South American countries because we haven't the ships to de liver goods and our freight rates are double. f ; i. . ' China, now that the ship embargo has been raised, is beginning to pour Its beans and rice into this country. The same will apply to sugar and hundreds of other articles. Call it tariff or protection ot in dustry or anything you like, if Am erican Industry is to maintain its present scale of wages and hours, protection from foreign competition in some form must be evolved. A too high cost of production, however, even though protected, will shut us out of foreign markets as we cannot compete In price. Artificial standards have been raised in this country while we were shut off from world competition but the day is rapidly approaching when we must get back to a normal basis even if some rulings of wage fixing boards and price fixing committees have to give way. The old law of supply and demand will soon have it's steam roller at work and it is no respecter ot man made regulations and Mr. Gompers and all his followers can't vary the course or tne roller. NOT WITH THE MUSIC We have with us today, not only the Bolshevik! and I. W. W., but also the militant suffragist very militant and they are putting in over-time at Washington lampooning President Wilson. "President Wilson has opposed those wbo demand democracy for this country. He is responsible for the disfranchisement of millions of Americans. We in America know this. The world will find him out." Suoh were the words inscribed on Hack a banner carried by the women. Fairly good campaign fodder, ot Its variety, but very untimely with the present trapeze music. Europe Is now the cynosure ot all eyes as most of the stars of the three-ringed cir cus are over there. ' i. . . The Oregonlan lauds Senator Chamberlain thusly, but even ut that the Portland paper Is telling the truth: "Senator Chamberlain, of Oregon, was 65 years old yesterday. It would appear to have been a day ot felicitations, not only from his personal friends, but from the party which he has so specially dlstin- gui8hed Dy.nIg continued successes In . , ,.firiB, of nrHm. Mmn,.ten. Mr. Chamberlain, after holding min or offices In Oregon, has been twice elected governor and twice elected senator. Such a record by a mem ber ot a minority party Is remark able. Few others like it perhaps nane can be cited anywhere." A newspaper, appealing to the sol diers and other men to return to the farms, says: "The man who works for wages is generally ready for the scrap heap at the age of 40 or 45. He Is less than 90 days from broke." The' same might be said of many men engaged In business. It's a cruel world, unless you look at it from the optimist's viewpoint. ""ershlng for President" clubs are being formed over the country. Much worse clubs could, and probably will, be formed before 1920. A damphool Is one who will make the mistake ot trying to round out bis education at Berlin.
