V I c f - 4 i * HOMI \ * V’ ■ *> All Wage Increases Must Be Approved By U.S. Boards ? n. . aR.-b'.' The Coquille city hall was well filled last evening with Coquille em­ ployers of one of more who were , present to hear throe speakers from the War Labor Board and the U. S. Department of Labor tell of many important matters in regard to wages, their celling and floor, and other matters about employment. The three visitors also devoted an hour or more to answering questions pro­ pounded by the employers present. To this writer the most important part of the talks led to the conclu­ sion that in any case of doubt, as to what may be paid a new employee, or what increase in wages may be allowed an old employee, the sen­ sible thing to do is to get in touch with the Regional War Labor Board, either with application or with a re­ quest for infomration as to what may be done without violating the rules laid down by the War Labor Board or the Department of Labor. The speakers were Ray Jewell, stabilization director of the 12th Re­ gional War Labor Board in Seattle; Chas. H. Elroy, branch manager Wage-Hour and Public Contracts Di­ E RtL ' ' V’- - ?.

Unofficial records show that the Coquille volunteer department has consistently arrived at a scene of tire at the most dto; tant point in the city in less than two minutes. Almost invariably fire fighting equipment ia on its way to a fire before the siren sfops. This record, better than most volunteer de­ partments, is seldom equalled by a paid department. The effectiveness of the Coquille department as shown by the latest State Fire Marshal’s record gives Coquille one of the lowest fire loss records in the state. The per cent of loss to insured sound value is only 1.4 per cent. The average for the state is about three times as great. It is of interest to note that the moot frequent causes of fire as listed in order are: 1. Matches and careless smokers. 2. Overheated and/or defective stoves. 3. Sparks on roof. 4. Overheated and/or defective chimneys. 8. Hot grease, oil, tar, etc. a. Electricity and/or defective wlr- ing. the Coquille Fire Department, under the enegetic leadership of Chief Craig Perrott, Is instituting one new feature and reviving an old feature for Coquille. The new feature is a Sales and Service for fire-fighting equipment. The department is now prepared to reinstate or service fire extinguishers of all types, and to supply individuals with the latest, most effective new equipment. The old feature which is being re­ vived is the annual Fireman’s Ball. It promisee to be one of the beet dances of ths year. Proceeds are to be spent tor firomen’s quarters and fire-fighting supplies. It will be jhe Coquille Red m.
