FARM WAGE SET
Representative farmers of East

at Pendleton Monday, and after
duo deliberation adopted the uni -
form wage scale as printed below

Mr. uovor said tliut the con
vention bad boon called at the re
queHt of the Federal Govcrnmon
and that Dr, E. V. Wilcox of tho

representatives from Washing
ton, Idaho, Utah, Montana, Colo
it i
rauo ami omer states, ijo saio
that tho matter of a uniform farm
wago was being taken up in ovpry
state in the Union; that its main
effect would be to stop tho tide
of floaters; that while scalo set
would prevail throughout Eastern
Oregon or Washington it was not
to bo considered either maximum
or minimum as local conditions,
a man's ability, etc., should also
bo taken into consideration.
Tho Uniform Wago Scale:
Haying common hands, buck
era, box drivers, otc, $3.
Stackers (hay and grain) head
cr-Uox loadors, $4. . -
Header or combine drivers, $5,
Sack sewers, for standard ma
chine, $5.
Cooks (man or woman) for 10
or more men, $3,
Both farmer and laborer have
their own opinion as to tho fair
ness of the scale set, but as wo
are not personally in either class,
though deeply interested in both,
we aro not in a position to judge,
therefore refrain from taking any
part in tho discussion, but will
watch the result with close atten
tion.

Bridge yesterday and said to tell
our readers tljat he would close

ridge, manager of Morris Bros, of
Portland, and an organizer of
known ability. He will be prcsr
ent to instruct the Wnr Savings
Workers in connection with the
big drive of June 28th.
Heretofore the efforts of War
Savings Workers have been large
ly confined to the education o
the people along lines of thrift
and savings. Recent develop
ments, however, have made it
imperative that the $2,000,000,000
which is the quota of the entire
country in War Savings Stamps,
he raised at once. J
Individual quotas of all citizens
will bo assigned, but instead of
solicitation by means of calls pn
euch individual, all citizens will
bo called together at meetings in
each School District on Friday,
Juno 28th, Iby proclamation from
the President of the United States
and tho Governor of each state.
it will oe the duty ot every
citizen to attend tho meeting in
lis district, and to be prepared to
subscribe his quota of War Sav
ings Stamps.

inetto, has just returned to Camp

OVER THE TOP AT LAST
J. M. Chase reports a total of
$1,259.90 for the Second Red
Cross War Fund, thus upholding
Eagle Valley's record for Vgoing
over" in every drive. We are
told that only one district in the
county has failed to raise its full
quota, that js our sister valley
Pine, yet we feel confident that
she will yet make good.
Three errqrs wero reported
in the list printed last week, viz:
C. J. Duffey contribute! $10 and
L. S. Kelly $2.50, F. L. Payzant
$1.50, instead 'of $1 each, as
