Wilson stated that more than II hundred thousand wage earners in the United States received substan tial increases in pay in the months of November and December, 1916. according to figures just compiled. "With a few minor exceptions."' said the Secretary, "all of the 1,118. 970 increases came after Election Day, November 7th, and 931763 dur ing December. This is extremely in teresting in view of the prediction oi 'closed shops.' soup kitchens, 'bread lines,' etc should President Wilson be re-elected, with which the Repub lican managers flooded the columns of the newspapers and plastered the billboards of the country in the last six weeks of the campaign. It is significant that of the 1.11870 work ers affected, only 35.300. or a Bttli more than three per cent, are em ployed in the manufacture of muni tions It is also significant that, whereas 66 of the 212 increases noted for November were the result of strikes, only 33 of the 304 for Decem ber were secured through this meth od. "I hare had prepared from various newspapers and periodicals tables showing wage increases secured by employes in manufacturing and other establishments in the months men tioned. The figures presented were secured from 45 trade union period icals, 42 labor papers, six leading trade journals, and over 50 daily newspapers published in various parts of the country- Great care ha; been taken to eliminate all dupli cates. The reports for November. 1916 show 212 statements of wage in creases in 38 states. Three of the reports relate to railroads and other interstate establishments. Of these 212 reports 131 show the number o: establishments affected to be 163, and 77 reports shok 187.207 employes af fected. Of :he 212 reports of wage increases 57 are stated to be the re sult of mutual agreement between employer and employes, 66 as the result of strikes, 72 by voluntary ac tion on the part of the employer, and for the remaining 17 no reason wa sstated. The second table shows the same information arranged by industry or occupation. This tabu lation shows 77 reports which gave the number of employes affected, the largest number affected being in foundry and machine shops, 32,436; mining. 27.500; iron and steel. 24. 500. boots and shoes, 18J0O; textile workers, 17.950; tanning, 15.000. The publications examined for th month of December show 304 re ports of wage increases. These were for establishments in 38 states, 21 of which were for railroads and other interstate establishments. Of these 304 reports, 209 showed a total oi 359 establishments involved. One hundred and 40 reports showed the total number of employes benefited by the increase of wages to be 931, 763. Of these 304 reports of wage increases 45 were reported to be ob tained by a mutual agreement be tween employer and employes, 33 as the result of strikes, 172 by volun tary action of the employer, and fo the remaining 54, no reason was giv en. The second table shows the same information tabulated by indus try or occupation. This table shows that the largest number of employes benefited were in iron and steel, 341, 600; textile workers. 208 JS0; gai ment workers, 1 12.300: workers ir electrical supplies, 60.000: munit;on. 35,000; boo:s and shoes. 33.730; tele phone and telegraph service. 23.000, paper manufacturing. 23.115. "In the reports from which our figures were compiled there was no uniformity in statin; the amount increase, and in a large proportion of the cases it was not possible to determine a percentage. In the cases where the increase was stated in the form of a percentage or where percentage could be computed, the prevailing increases were from five per cent to ten per cent. Some people can read a novel in a May; but it has taken the Misfit man 33 years to read 555 pages in Taine's English Literature, and he is now down to Lord Byron. Thv&n uh., !. ,.- read Taine will appreciate what a struggle it must Have neen, and jet nc is one oi me most delightful writers in the world. Reading newspapers daily is not ery conducive to reading heavy lit erature. Getting in the habit of skimming things makes it difficult to settle .lowu to solid reading. The writer tackled Mills Logic, Spencer and some of the other bottom of the sea fellows before be.-oming an exchange editor. Getting down to Byron, though. took one thru a wonderful field o rich things, from Chaucer down thru Ben Johnson and Shakespeare, past Dryden, Addison. Swift. Pope and Burns, among the great fellows alone the way. While Oregon has only one ci s large as 20 thousand. Washington as Seattle, Tacouia, Spokane, Ever ett. Bcllinhatii and Walla Walla, perhaps North Yakima, and Aber deen, having nearly that many. Three of them have over one hundred thousand. U h, thoulH not Oregon have five to ten cities with over 20,000 people. and wnat city nas a octicr cnance roe t than Albany? It is coming, and the people of this city should never let up for a mo ral in their boosting lor a Diner city, always seeking to make it a better one. TTie legislative eomtivtftee Stirred thintr nn hv rharrrinir that Corvallis is not treating the students of the O. A. l. fairly, it being said tnat too high prices are charged for board and ents, with something to found it on. Most students of the 0. A. C. are from families in moderate means, i not poor, and it takes scheming to get thera thru college; hence they are entitled to low rates. Several east crn colleges are built up along this At th. The population mark at the Oregon state penitentiary has declined to 433, a record for the past two years. Whik two years ago the number was -trifle lower, by March, 1915. the num ber ascended the scale to 566 anrl kept appreciably high nntil the prohi bition law went into effect, when ? steady decline became noticeable. Tr number includes only those confined to the prison itself, and not men out oa parol. SHIS line. Convicts should be kept busy all the time, and it is a disgrace if tli are allowed to be idle, the devil's workshop resulting if they arc. Now some sassiety chumps in one of the big cities declare an engage ment is not an engagement unlex. announced. Thank goodness there are people in the world who believe in the good old fashioned way , proposing and getting married with out brass bands.

Albany Be Sure the Milk You Use Is Clean THERE is no question about the superior food value of milk and the greater economy of using more of it in place of other less nour ishing and more costly foods. Five cents worth of bread and milk has more food value than any other kind of a lunch that can be prepared at three times the cost. You should look carefully into the manner in which the milk you use is produced. Cleanliness is a most important factor. We have never hesitated to adopt any means that would make our milk cleaner and more wholesome. The latest improvement added to our rairy is the De Laval Milk Clarifier. On learning that there could be no certainty of milk being per fectly clean unless centrifugally clarified, we installed this machine It removes impurities that are present to some extent in all milk, re gardless of how carefully it is produced. The use of this machine is a positive assurance to you that our milk will be uniformly clean at all times. By means of tremendous centrifugal force it expels from milk im purities that cannot be kept out and cannot be removed by straining or filtering. De Laval Clarified Milk is the only milk you can be sure is per fectly clean. Insist upon getting it. ell 134-R Home 1204 or at the Dairy, Bell 17F21 Byron Peebler's Dairy Every nkkle or dims soent for Hand Made or an Albany Special Cl ear means a bigger industry for Albany, Smoke McCourt'a Hand Made c gars, S cents.
