Opposes Inviting Laborers to Oregon
University, o f Oregon, Eugene— L e t
ters that invite laboring men to come
and settle in Oregon should not be sent
by Oregonians to Eastern friends or
Eastern newspapers. This admonition
was given by O. P. Hoff, state labor
commissioner, to students in the Uni
versity school o f commerce. “ Oregon
offers less opportunity for the laboring
man than any state in the Union.
A
city the size o f Portand has five times
as hard work taking care o f a surplus
o f 10,000 men as a city o f the same
size in Massachusetts has, because
Portland does not have the great man
ufacturing establishments
of
the
East,” said Mr. Hoff.
The state labor commissioner thinks
that as a partial remedy for winter un-
employment the state should arrange
to get needy men onto small tracts of
stump land.
" N o man can make a
profitable investment by buying such
land and putting all his tim e on it , ”
said Mr. Hoff, “ but by using his idle
tim e any man could build up a good
home in a few years.”
Mr. H off said compulsory safeguards
would put an end toj>0 per cent o f all
accidents in industrial plants in Ore
