BECOMES A LAW
CREATES NEW BOARD
FOR ARBITRATION

ened S'rike Of 10000 Men Will be
strtled Under the New Bill Just
Passed.
WASHINGTON, July l6.-The New
lands, bills, revising the Erdman law
TO provide arbitration of wage dis
putes in a manner satisfactory to-
railroads and their employees passed
the House yesterday without a roll
call and was hurried to the Senate
which was waiting to pass it for Pres.
ident Wilson'S signature.
The Senate passed the Newlands
bill without roll call and it was
hurriedly prepared for transmission
to the White House, where President
Wilson was ready to sign it.
Establishes National Board.
In its perfected form the new law
would furnish machinery expected to
open up the possibilities of arbitra-
ton and federal mediation. The new
law would establish the United
States board of mediation and con
citation" to consist of a federal com
missioner of mediation and concilia,
ton" and two other officials of the
Government to be designated by the
President. This board could be APP
pealed to to intervene in a railroad
labor dispute by either party and
would first use its best efforts. by
mediation and condition, TO bring
the dsputants to an agreement. Fail
ure would be followed by an attempt
on the part of the board to induce
the parties to submit their eontrover-
sy to arbitration; and in case arbi-
tration was argued to special boards
of either three or six mediators would
be chosen by the railroads and the
employees.
Arbitration under the new law
would be undertaken only after a
definite agreement had been made by
both parties to abide by the decision
of the arbitration board for a stated
period.
Woman Started Movement.
Just how Mondays White House
coference was brought about became
known yesterday, when officials stat
ed that Mrs. J. Borden Hartman of
the new industrial commission. had in
formed them that a strike was i'm
minent unless an agreement on a
board of mediation could be secured.
As a result of her message, both
President Wilson and Secretary Will
son were communicated with by Sec
rotary Tumulty and the conference
subsequently was arranged with the
hep of Seth Low, president of the
National Civic Federation.
The argument made by the train
men and conductors representatives
for an independent tribunal to settle
labor disputes also became known
yesterday. A. B. Garretson of the
Order of Railway Conductors declar-
ed that the demand for an independ-
ent commission had been begun be
fore the department of labor was
created and therefore his association
meant no reflection on the secretary
of labor in opposing the proposal to
have the mediation board under the
jurisdiction of any Government de-
partment. The railroad presidents, 1t
was said had little to say at the
White House conference, but acquies-
ced in the desire for an independent
board

LITTLE VISITS TO
OUR MERCHANTS
U. G. shipley Z CO.

This firm was established March Is,
1911, and has enjoyed prosperous
trade.
By means of good goods, courteous at
tention and strict adherence to sound
business principles, each year since has
shown an increased business.
There is a general air of confidence
to be found throughout this stOre-that
Salem and its surrounding territory are
on the eve of experiencing an unusual
volume of business-that the outlook
for their base of supplies never looked
better-this base of supplies, "the ag-
ricultural products" is the one from
which they get their business.
Since this stores adoption of strict
" eight.hour day, they have found that
their customers thoroughly appreciate
their efforts to better the condition of
those employed-their hopes and their
efforts are eentered on the establish
ment of a minimum wage scale-One
that will be just to all concerned.
Everything in "ready-tO-wear" ar
ticles can be found there-the assOrt-
ment of each separate line being such
that no one can say, "I could not find
what wanted" "
The establishment of the parcel post
with the recent addition of the c.
o. D. feature-has made and will con-
tinue to make large increase in their
daily sales-their shipping department
is so well organized that all out of town
orders can be filled the same day that
the order is received-and that is some
thing that we-the American purchas-
er-are just beginning to realize to our
great advantage.

But to get back to our subject. Prop
erty Owner admits we have some poor
concrete streets which, he says, is "due
to weak mix and poor workmanship"
It is "mix" all the time; no one
agrees abobt it, and all are eternally
suggesting change. Whyl Why the

This gentleman, who as we said, is
presumably paving contractor, abuses
other concrete PAYERS and their work,
and makes the unsupported statement
that concrete is the best paving in the
world. He points to Detroit, Ohio, and
Indiana cities, other places far off, to
prove it. As Salemites cannot take a
looK at these remarkably good pieces of
work done so far away, we point to
something they can see, South CONNER
cial and East State streets. AS for the

THE MINIMUM WAGE
AND THE sALESwoBiAN

While this subject is now securing
the attention of practically every news
paper, and surely every saleswoman in
this country, it is to be regretted that
in this discussion there have been ad-
vanced arguments tending to reflect up
on the good character of saleswomen-
A writer in a prominent New York
daily has recently taken strong excep-
ton to this reflection as a whole. He
states "that while he had known of
certain girls in a store going wrong
(from women buyers making $4,000
year down to girls making quite small
wages) he had never known any girl
going wrong because of small wages"
Il is the saleswoman who can command
respect-not alone from her co-work-
ers, but also from her employer, and
the customers she serves, who will
eventually make the most lasting and
greatest success. Personal character is
one of the fundamentals of successful
salesmanship. Unimpeachable character
is on a par with honesty.
From the standpoint of the employer
he must look after the interests of his
business first, irrespective Of how much
he would like to pay-expense and
profits must be carefully and conscien-
tiously compared. In some cities a min
inmm wage of sl2 per week would be
very small--in others it would mean
the ruination of that man s business
living expenses must determine the
maximum wage Suppose minimum
wage of $l2 week is established and
the employer can only stand salary
expense of $75 a week. He employs say
eight salespeople at a weekly wage
varying from Sc or 81 to 500. With this
minimum of S12, what confronts himf
Either the discharge of the inefficient,
thereby doubling the work of those re.
tained-or bankruptcy A merchant
cannot spend 500 a week in salaries if
his business only iustifies $75-mini-
mum wages or not. 1t therefore behoves
every sales person to bring their eff
cheney up to that standard by means Of
which their position will be safeguard
ed.
The sales people represent their en-
ployer. Your character affects You and
your firm-create a favorable impress
sion for your own sake and for the
sale Of the firm. Their success means
your successs--command trade, and YOU
can command the salary. Set your peg
Of advancement high enough so that
when this minimum wage matter is fl
nally settled, you will have become
so valuable to your employer that your
position and your salary is not a ques-
tion to be determined by the working
of the law, You can do it by your own
integrity, your attitude, your manner Of
speech TO your eustomers-your ap-
parel-all this will at once stamp your
character.

good citizen should get out his gun and
quietly put the subject of his eOgita-
tions out of the way. Would this be
murder or would it be excused on ae-
count of it being called for by the ex-
cuse of wise business methodist
OF course, this is the matter argued
to an absurdity, but that is sometimes
the best manner in which to illustrate
the point. And certainly it is no more
of an absurdity than the idea that per
sonal opinion, whether backed by good
business methods or not, is sufficient to
justify the violation Of the law.
The jury in the Portland case had no

CONCRETE ELSEWHERE - AND
HERE.


IN A COMMUNICATIONS appearing
in The Capital Journal Saturday,
signed Property Owner, the con-
crete paving is held up to be the
greatest and best paving known.
He no doubt believes what he says,
but his arguments are far from con.
yinoing. He says some of the best en-.
gineers in our Oldest communities ia
vor concrete on account of its desira-
bility low maintenance, cheapness and
availability Of material, simplicity of
construction and low initial cost. The
first, second and fifth of these "rea-
sons" are alone worth considering, for
the others are included in them, and
only inserted by the author to comph.
cate and befuddle the mix.
Now, just notice that the author of
the communication, just so soon as he
made this statement (see Capital Jour
nal Saturday, gives us statement
from Edward U. Hines, of Detroit,
Michigan. We have not the pleasure of
a personal acquaintance with Mr..
Hines. He may be an engineer, he may
be cement manufacturer, but he pre-
sumably is paving contractor using
cement, for he writes as one conerete
man would to another which indicates
that property Owner" is also a paw
ing contractor, and a concrete paving
, contractor at that, for Mr.. Hines tells
him, after making unbacked assertions
about concrete roads in Ohio and In.

the Stolz formula, the latest one, is

sand and gravel, while that suggested
by Mr.. Hines, whoever he is, would be

Refreshments consisting of ice cream sherbet and cake were daintily served. Misses Marriott, Rogers. SDiers and Hunsaker acted the past of hostesses very charmingly A feature was the presence of many very dainty evening gowEs. It was the first of various receptions and entertainments which win be siven by the young folks dur ing the school year and suitable to the occasion arising therein.
