GIVE MEN WOMEN's WORK!
st. Louis I.aundries Find That Male
Ironers Can Do More Than Fe-
male.

st. Louis-Woman, who has always
reigned supreme in the different in
dustries of the home, is to be sup
planted by man in one branch of
which she had been proudest of her
ability.
The fact has been disclosed through
the hand laundries of St Louis, in
which men are taking the places of
the women in the hand ironing de-
partment. The change began about
eight months ago and since that time
the laundries have been gradually hir-
ing men to take the place of the wo-
men ironers.
Laundrymen declare that hand
ironers on high grade materials is
much more satisfactory than machin-
cry. Women are said to be unable
to stand the heavy strain. Work done
by men costs more, but it is asserted
they can work longer and produce
more work than women.

uated, would have done.
The language l am charged with
having used would indicate a deep
seated hostility on my part to the
company. but l have no i'll feeling or
animosity toward the company or any
of its officers. 1 personally esteem
DR.. Vincent, its manager, very highly.
He is an energetic and progressive cit
izen. and l certainly have no desire
he should be injured, either in a
personal or financial way 1 desire to
see the company's rights, its prop
erty and its franchises protected, and
| want to see capital and all legiti-
mate enterprises encouraged to come
here.
What I endeavored to make plain
in that interview was that public
service corporations investing here are
not entitled to exclusive franchises;
that they are not entitled to charge
exorbitant rates for service nor is
this company entitled to dictate
whether its wires shall remain above
or be placed under ground. Under its
police powers the municipality has
a right to regulate that matter and
there is nothing in the contention
that because the city granted a fran
chise to this corporation to do business
in Pendleton, that it gave it such a
franchise as to place the corporation
above or beyond the law.
The protection of life and the pres
ervation Of property lie at the foun-
dation of all civilized government and
no city in this day and age could
grant to any corporation such fran
chise as would deprive the municipal
ity of the right to afford all necessary
protection to both Therefore, II
these wires are a menace to life and
property they should be placed under
ground to the expense, and if the

But Feels No Animosity Towards

Pendleton, Ore, July 2S.

PenGleton, Ore, July 2S.
Editor East Oregonian:
In the interview you solicited and
obtained regarding the placing of
electric wires in the business sections
of Pendleton underground, you rep
resented me as having said, IF the
company is not able to stand the eX-
pense it has my permission to leave
town" l consider that statement an
injustice both to myself and the Pa
cific Power & Light company. l used
no language that 1 recall during that
interview suceptible of any such con-
struction. The truth is, 1 should re-
gret seeing the company cease doing
business in Pendleton. It is not my
purpose. nor do 1 believe it should
be the purpose of any citizen of Pen
dleton to drive away any legitimate
neither a stockholder or an officer
of this corporation and my consent is
not necessary in the management and
conduct of its business Affairs. I rec
ognize the fact that it has a large
amount of money invested, and that
this capital is entitled to all the pro-
lection the law will afford it. The
company. in my judgment, has treat
ed the people of Pendleton as fairly
as any other company, similarly sit

errors
Personally l favor the placing of
the wires under ground, the expense
of doing that work will never be less
than it is today: Yet 1 have express
ed a doubt that il would be done by
the council on account of the esti-
mated cost of the work. | am satis-
fed that it should not be done until
a thorough and impartial investiga-
tion, OF the costs of equipment and
expense of the service has been made.
I understand the company derives
an annual revenue of about $4,000
from its service in Pendleton IL that
be true then out of such an income
in my Judgment if it intends to re-
main here and do business it ought to
meet the public demand and make
this permanent Improvement In this
connection il would be interesting to
the people to know just what part of
this S50.0O0 remains here and finds
its way back into the channels of
business and what part of il goes to
the foreign treasure house of the COM
pany. In order to determine tha;
question it would be necessary to
J know what the actual cost to the
/ company was in providing Pendletor
with the service she has, and what hel
! annual expense for such service is. If
! upon such an investigation, conduct
ed on behalf of the municipality, it IL
found that Pendleton is being drained
for the purpose of running an electric
road between Walla Walla and Mil
ton and paying the expenses of tn
| Walla Walla service, then our peopl
should not hesitate to order tn
change. They have the power an,
there is no danger of the company be
ing injured or of capital being driver
away if the peoples action is base,
upon intelligent investigation.

10. the City Jail Is Empty.

That the efforts Of the city police
are beginning to have effect upon
that class of citizens who have a
penchant for breaking into Jail is
proved without doubt by the mani
fest decrease in the activities of the
police judge. For two days now
there has been no offender brought
before that tribunal Of justice and
today for the first time in many
moons the municipal bastile is unin-
habited by human beings. The door
stands open wide, the free air circu-
lates through the gloomy cells and
the horde Of suctorial, parasitic deni-
zens of the bed covers search vainly
for their prey.
