Shorter Hours For
Women Cooks In
Harvest Field

State Labor Commissioner E. w
Olson stated last week that he hao
determined to make an effort t.
have the legislature at the next SEES
sion adopt an amendment such as
would include women cooks in the
harvest field under the eight hour
labor law. While this thought il
not new to Commissioner Olson, the
statement is brought fourth by the
receipt of a large number of letters
from persons throughout the wheat
growing sections of the Eastern
Washington. protecting against the
custom of employers working wom-
en- cooks from 16 to 18 hours day.
A ruling by the attorney general
of two years ago holds that such
laborers are not entitled t, protec-
tion under the labor law as it now
stands.
If there is any industry that can
afford to pay its laborers good
wage for reasonable length of day
it is the wheat raising industry" !"
said Commissioner Olson. Il feel
that it is not just that women should
be compelled to work hard from 16
to 18 hours in the not cook house of
the harvest field.
Additional help sh,uld be provid-
ed so that excessive hours would not
be necessary. 1t would cost farm
er only one or two sacks of wheat a
day to provide an extra woman in
the cook house.
II have received many letters
within the past few days protesting
against the existing conditions.
Most Of them are from women inter-
ested directly Or Indirectly in the
welfare of the women workers of
the harvest fields, and l am convinc-
ed that the protest is justified.
There is nothing in the present
law that may be interpreted to in.
lcude such employees in the eight
hour provision; but / am going to
make an attempt to have an amend
ment adopted by the next legisla-
ture. We have law that protects
the women w,rking in a hotel. fac
tory, store or laundry, but have
done nothing for the woman who
usually through absolute necessity,
must cook in the harvest field. It
is not just that we should protect
women in one industry and leave
them unprotected in another.

Steel Firm Plans to
Open Branch In
Bellingha N

A deal is about to be completed
by which the Pacific Hardware &
Steel Company. one If the largest
concerns of the kind in the United
States. will acquire longtime
lease OF the entire Sehome Wha.f
property and prepare to engage in
business on huge scale in Belling-
ham in the immediate future. Ne
gotiations towards this end have
been under way for some years past
and have now reached stage where
final and formal announcement may
be expected at almost any time.
The Pacific Hardware & Steel
Company maintains extensive ware
houses in Los Angeles. San Francis
co, Portland. Seattle and New York
and some idea of the size of the
firm may be CLEANED from the fact
that in San Francisco the business
occupies building consisting of
three floors and basement measur-
iLg 264 by 275 feet and ware
house measuring It's by 264 feet the
total area in San Francisco being
336.600 square feet. In Portland
the area occupied by that branch
of the business is $4,000 square
feet and in Los Angeles $4,000
square feet.
This huge company does a full
line Of business in tools, general and
heavy hardware, builders hardware,
house furnishings, cutlery, plated
ware. sporting goods. pumps and
windmlls. brass ware of all sorts,
iron and steel work.
While no definite arrangements
have yet been made with regard to
the details of the business to be es-
tablished in Bellingham, it is never
theless the intention of the Pacific
Hardware & Steel Company to se-
cure huge warehouse in the neigh
borhood of the wharf for the accom-
modation of its business and. in the
event of this proving impossible a
big building will be specially de-
signed and constructed to meet the
demands of the business. It is pos
sible also that arrangements may be
made to carry on a retail business,
although these are all matters yet
to be definitely settled.

-Four Fish Trap Owners
Charged With Violation
OF Closing Law

On information furnished by
State Fish Commissioner L. H. Oar
win complaints were filed in the su
perior court last week against -four
owners of fishtraps in the straits o1
Rosario charging them with violat.
ing the state law providing for the
closing of the traps from 4 O'clock
Friday afternoon to a o'clock Sun.
day morning. The traps which il
is alleged were r7n overtime on Fri.
day or renewed the run premature.
ly Sunday morning are owned by
the following: Lyon Fishing com.
pany, j. A. Largand. George & Bar
ker company and Point Roberts
Fishing company. Largand is an
individual owner while the other
traps are owned by corporations.
Tie state law provides for rigid
thirty-six hour closed period to per-
nit a portion of the big run of sal,
mon to reach the spawning grounds
unmolested. The penalty provided
in case a trap owner is convicted o1
the offense is very severe. the min
imum being $3.50 fine while the law
provides for a maximum penalty OF
$1,000 fine and one year in Jail.
According to Fish Commissioner
Darwin it is probable that misunuer-
standing Of the state law has caused
more or less difficulty in compelling
a strict observance of the law. Ac-
cording to that official several own
ers are under the impression that
the closed period begins en- Thurs
day at 4 o'clock instead Of Friday
and in these cases leniency will pro-
badly be extended.
Prosecuting Attorney Bixby filed
the complaints against the fishtrap
owners Monday afternoon.
Patrolman Frank Wyman, Lind
strom, Sam Strange and Cade furn-
ished the information to the state
that resulted in the issuing Of the
warrants which will be served upon
the companies.
All Of the traps that were operat-
ed unlawfully are located near Point
Roberts.

British Columbia Single
Mills Shutdown

Rather than food the market t.
the detri nent of prices the shing Il
mills Of British Columbia have an
nounced that they will shut d,wr
Tor a thirty to sixty day period
commencing last Saturday night
The manufacturers Of Washingto I
red cedar shingles have been urgec
to join the shut down. but as the
American shingle men have been un.
able to get together upon the sub
ject it is not anticipated that the
period of idleness will exist on this
side of the line. Stocks in the East
are said to be very light at the pre-.
sent time. and although the demand
is poor at present, shingle men in
sist that the call will streng then by
September l. 1t is argued that the
lack of demand and consistent out
put OF the shingle bills will swamp
the market before the fall buying
sets in and ruin the standing prices
at that time.
A thirly-day close-down. dealers
say would cause the small supply of
shingles now on hand in the East
ern yards to be exhausted and the
eagerness of the buyers to stock up
their yards for the fall business
would cause a brisk advance in
prices.
Clears are now quoted at $2.10
and stars at $1.60. One year ago
at this time clears were quoted at
the same figure. while stars brought
$1.75. If a repetition of last sea-
son occurs business will pick up
fast within the next sixty days.
The Canadian manufacturers,
who have a strong association, have
succeeded in holding prices little
above the quotations now given on
this side of the line. Building is
now at standstill in Saskatchewan
and Alberta it is reported. and the
bottom has fallen out of the Cana
dian market. The Britishers are un-
able to place tteir shingles on the
American market because of duty of
so cents thousand to send them a.
cross the international boundary
line. Rather thaG food the market
the manufacturers have therefore
declared a shutdown until the mark
ct becomes stonger.
