OREGON, TOO, HAS ITS
UNEMPLOYED PROBLEM
Labor Commissioner Warns
Fasteners That All Available
Positions Are Filled

PORTLAND, Ore, March 81
Oregon as we'll as California. is being
flooded with labor, for which there is
no employment.
Evidence is pouring into the state
department OF labor that the program
Of the business interests in flooding
foreign labor, penniless and unsettled,
sioner O. p Hon has been called upon
repeatedly within the past few months
to overcome the effects OF this pro-
gram.
One OF the best illustrations OF how
the system has worked Is a COM
munication from ~ Behar. director OF
the National Liberal immigration
league. New York City, written TO ask
Mr.. Hoff's Endorsement OF an appeal
for free transportation of laborers TO
the Pacific coast
In other words, Mr.. Behar wanted
to raise money from charitable peo-
pie with which to send penniless Ia
borers out here.
Hoff wrote Behar that he could not
indorse the plan, as Ito do so would
be holding out inducements TO penni-
less laborers to come out to this
state. while know there are now
more than enough to fill the demands
for laboring men out here. No state
offers better opportunities for men
with capital than Oregon. but to the
working man without means, Oregon
is no better than any other state"
Louis n Hammerling, president OF
the American Association of Foreign
Language newspapers, New York
City, asked Mr.. Hoff to write letter
of encouragement and advice to
foreign residents, urging them to
come to Oregon. This letter was to
be published in a large number or
foreign newspapers.
In reply, Mr. Hoff said:
ut Is only fair to state that in all
the learning departments the
places are filled. No false allurements
should be held out TO induce the
workers In other lands 10 leave
friends and situations TO come to
country of strangers where no en-
ployment awaits them. The pernicious
practice OF inducing the credulous
poor to migrate to the strange lands
by false portrayal of ease and plenty
is a most serious wrong. and one
which the foreigner, more than any
other, often learns to his deep sor-
row.
Let me earnestly discourage the
coming west of all those whose intent
is TO seek work In towns and cities

SOFT COAL OPERATORS
BLAME WEST VIRGINIA
Continued from page one).

heavy percentage of this market, too.
Unless these conditions are corrected
the market SO secured will soon be
filled by the tonnage from the non
union mines OF West Virginia AID
Kentucky.
Through the very heart OF the coal
consuming territory. on account OF
the wide difference between the price
of labor in the organized fields and
that OF the unorganiZed fields OF West
Virginia, the operators OF Ohio and
Pennsylvania are rapidly losing the
markets at their very own doris.
II is evident that such unfair con-
ditions should not be imposed upon
the operators and miners OF the Dr.
ganized territory.
The officials OF the United Mine
Workers are aware Of the prices at
which Chic and Pennsylvania coal
has been sold during the past few
years in order to meet the West Vir-
ginia competition. During this depres-
sion no reduction In wages has been
made to the miners.
AS consequence OF all this there
has been a material decrease In the
tonnage of the Ohio and Pennsylvania
fields, and this has meant that min
ers in this territory have been paid
OF frequently.
In 1908 the miners Of West Vir-
ginia worked rs per cent Of the work
ing days, while union Ohio miners
worked but "a per cent OF the work
ing period.
The mining price of coal has stead
lily increased in the contracting states
from 56 cents in 1897 to the present
scale of % cents.
The wages paid In the unorganized
fields range from 20 to 40 cents per
ton below this price, with mining con-
ditions that still further reduce the
cost, the work day being nine and III
hours.
The operators OF the organized dis
trict are willing and ready TO pay as
high price to their labor as is paid by
the operators OF the districts entering
into competition with them. They
cannot pay more and still continue 20
operate mines that are becoming a
losing proposition.
Either the unorganized districts VIII

prices inSthe union fields will have

the Liberal papers throughout the

most of the editorials that If the Lib

and is forced to appeal TO the coun-

This was shown in the recent by
elections where enormous Liberal
pluralities were turned into Conserva-

leader of the conservatives moved in
the house of commons today the re-
lection of the governments minimum
wage scale bill. He reviewed the
measure which he characterized as
extreme and unwise and in no way
remedial and demanded that ii be
killed by the house OF commons.
Balfour declared that the bill as
introduced failed to meet the views
o feither the operators or the miners.
and he said that the government erred
greatly in attempting TO rush an ex-
perimental law through without coli
sidering the effect it would have on
the country's prosperity.
Answering the charge that he was
trying TO force the dissolution of par
lament because he and his followers
believed they would be material gain
ers through a new general election,
Balfour said he did not desire dis
solution at this time.
Balfour insisted that the dissolu-
ton OF parliament now could serve
no good purpose, and would simply
add 10 the general confusion OF an al
ready critical situation.
Let us discuss this bill calmly and
fairly" he said. and find out just
what It means TO the people. To
push 1t to second reading by force OF
might, Is unfair TO the public, and viii
mean that the government fears ts>t
the real meaning OF the measure
might become known TO the people
of the country
Asquith, however, moved the bill
to second reading It was expected
that this motion would carry, as the
labor members said they would not
offer their amendments until this
stage of the legislation has passed.
