Prices Slump In Deadest
Market of the Season
New York, Aug. 21. Hie New York
Evening Sun financial review today
said:
There was a little more animation
in today's stock market, but what
initative there was, was on the selling
side. Because of prevailing uncertain
ties some timid holders were anxious
enough to reduce their holdings to of
fer them at a sacrifice, but for the
same reason very few buyers even at
bargain prices, were to be found.
Recessions of one to five points were
recorded in the industrial list and of a
fraction to three points or more in the
railroad department. New Haven and
Delaware and Hudson touched new low
record prices, the one for all time and
the other for something like twenty
years.
The fact that the bear element was
moved to exert pressure wherever there
was a sign of weakness was attributed
to talk of Bethlehem Steel financing.
The B. stock sold down to a new level
on this movement, below 10S, a loss
of over five pionts and the A stock re
acted two points. This, however, had
a depressing effect on theo ther steel
shares which lost a point or more.

New York, Aug. 21. Stationed pre

ascent was greased and the westerners

White Sox Fans not Happy
Chicago, Aug. 21. Fans hopefully
awaited the third game of the itca
Sox-Whito Sox series this morning, al
though weather conditions were any
thing but reassuring. Rain threatened
throughout the morning. '
Manager Barrv was expected to pitch
Ruth, who finished the second gamo
yesterday. Leonard also was a possibil

liams or Scott in for the White Sox.
White Sox fans today were not alto
gether happy over the division of the
spoils in yesterday's doubleheadcr. The
second game, which was lost after be
ing called in the eighth on account of
darkness, was started on wet grounds
following an interruption by rain in the
first game of more than an hour. The
umpires decided the grounds were all
right and are getting the blame tor

RESIGN POSITIONS
School Board Forced to Make
Changes Male Teachers
Are Scarce
The Salem Board of Education is
feeling the effects of the war as men
teachers are scarce. Five men who had
been elected to positions presented
their resignations last evening at the
board meeting and as the state law pro
vides that resignations may be made
before the beginning of the school
term, they were all accepted.
Harold Turner who was to teach in
the manual training department sent
in his resignation as he is now with an
aviation' corps. Ed Robinsoa, a Salem
man, was recommended by Superin
tendent Todd as his successor, at a
salary' of (75 a month.
Leland J. Know will enter the Uni
versity of California instead of teach
ing in Salem. His resignation was ac
cepted. No recommendation was made
for the position.
Charles Williamson of the Com
mercial department of the High school
secured a better position in Roseburg
and resigned. No successor was elected
or recommended. .
H. F. Cook who was recently elected
also presented his resignation. It was
accepted. '
', E. Edwin Piatt of the manual train
ing department resigned but did not
say why he wished to be released from
his contract. -His successor has not
as yet been elected.
Better Jobs Catch Them.
' Miss Jennie O. Hood of Laramie,
Wyoming, was elected substitute teach
er for Miss Ethel Jones who will study
at Berkeley this winter. She will re
ceive $95 a. month.
Miss Helena Willett of Bellingham,
Wash., was elected principal and pri
mary teacher at the' McKinley school.
Her salary is $85 a month.
, Miss Ruby C. Ramsdall, teacher of
German, got a better job in Montana
and wanted to resign. The resignation
was accepted. As there isn't likely
to.be a big rush to study the German
language this winter, no successor was
recommended or elected.
Mrs. W. T. Porter, who has so ac
ceptably filled the position of truant
officer for the past two years, was re
elected at salary of $50 a month.
Miss Grace Taylor as school nurse

TO GET WAGE INCREASE
Increase Will Be Granted In
Each Yard As Its Present
Agreement Expires
Washington, Aug. 21. A nation-wide
strike in steel shipyards working on
government contracts will be prevented
by wage increases paid by the govern
ment. In his first clash with organized labor
or war work, Uncle Sam will recognize
the claim that increased cost of living
warrants a higher wage scale.
This developed today from the diffi
culties into which the requisition of
snip construction enmeshed the ship
ping board. Shipyard owners whose con
tracts have been taken over by the gov
ernment refused to make new wage
agreements with the International
Metal Trades union until the shipping
board approves the incrased wage scales
The final decision is to be- left to
a special commission of three members,
one appointed by President Wilson, one
by President Gompers of the American
Fderation of Labor and the third mem
ber to be appointed by the shipping
board.
Officials of the government and the

union which controls boilermakers, dril
lrs, shipsmiths, molders and practically
every mploye on steel ship hulls, indi
cated there is no doubt that the de
mands of th men will be granted. The
new scale is an advance of more than
fifty cents a day in some cases. The
daily wage of these men will be six dol
lars and upwards. Over eight hours
work will be at time and one half rate.
The increase ' will be granted in in
dividual yards when present union
agreement is now in effect at a ship
building center, the case will be sub
mitted to the proposed commission.
The New York shipyards strike may
be settled before the special commission
plan is put into effect.
The union is cleaning up the situa
tion on the Pacific coast before turning;
its full attention to the Atlantic sea
board. The agreement with San Fran
cisco yards expires September 15. An
agreement is being sought in Portland.
The Seattle yards may furnish the first
example of a government wage in
crsase, as shipbuilders there whose con
tracts were taken over by the shipboard
put the new wage scale squarely up 'to
the board. " .
