WOMEN ID FIGHT
 MINIMUM WAGE Portland Worker Starts Suit to De- feat the Law-Claims She Win
 Lose Her Job.

PORTLAND, Ore. April l7.-One of the woman workers of this city started suit here today to test the legality of the minimum wage law re gently passed by the legislature of the state providing for a minimum O. not less than $S.64 per week for ali women workers in Oregon
 The complaint recites that the plaintiff will lose her position if the law is enforced. because the un- skilled labor will be dropped and on ly fast workers will be retained by the employers.
 It is believed here that the woman is appearing for the big cannery op~ orators. who wish to defeat the law, and that the expensive counsel ap- bearing for her have been retained by the big packing industries to break the law.

swered to the rollcall at the regular

learned that the former action of tine
board in raising the saloon licenses by
resolution was illegal, whereupon Al

former action of the board in passing
said resolution be rescinded. This mo-
ton when properly seconded was car
ried unanimously, thus putting an end
to the $1,000 license and also the IL
cense on wholesalers. 1t was an
nounced that the liquor license for the
next period of six months would be at
the rate of 5000 a year, that being the

like that which swept the country in
1907. But advancements can only be
made to member banks on notes arising
out of actual commercial transactions III
agricultural, industrial or commercial
purposes. They cannot make advances
on notes issued for Investments or trad
ing in stocks or bonds, other than Unit
ed States government securities.
The law also provides that a portion
of all bank reserves, varying in amount
according to the classification of the
bank, shall be kept in the regional bank
where the member bank is situated.
Under present conditions the tendency
of all bank reserves is to travel east
ward and finally reach New York where
the big Wall street banks are situated.
Under the new Law the reserves will be
kept, in part at least, in the country
where they originate, and be available
for local needs instead of being used
for speculation on the New York ex-
change. The diffusion of money
throughout the country, instead of its
concentration in the great cities will oe
of benefit to the whole country, AMI
particularly to the west. I presume that
everyone knows that federal reserve
banks receive deposits from the govern
ment and member banks only, and not
from individuals or corporations, and
nAks leans likewise to the government
and basks only. The new law is the
|openisg Of = new era in the financial
histsry Of the country, and is the great
ct obstructive act Of the present Ad-
ninistrat;on.

bank of Glenwood As the new law il
but little understood the Post is pleased
to reprint Mr.. Parks article in. full
which is as follows:
The federal reserve act provides
there shall be not less than eight, nor
more than twelve regional banks. As
speedily as possible the act will be pu.
into operation, and the banking system
which has been in force for about one
half a century will undergo \ radical
change. How that change will affect
the people generally is = matter of IN
terest to all. The United States has
grown SO rich and powerful under the
present laws that there is = natural re-
luctance to change. That reluctance is
especially noticeable among bankers
now operating under the national bank
ing laws. But careful study Of the new
act is rapidly convincing bankers that
the new law will be Of benefit both t.
the people and the banks.

THE MAN FROM MEXICO"

''The Man From Mexico,'' which
will be presented by the members of
the Glenwood Dramatic club under the
auspices of the local order Of Eagles,
Feb. 9, will be the most difficult pro-
duction ever attempted by any amateur
organization. This is the play that
made William Collier famous and has
never before been produced outside Ct
professional ranks. 1t is only due to
the fact that the members of the Glen
wood Dramatic club have really gradu-
ated from the amateur class that they
were allowed to produce this play. The
Eagles have had to pay large royalty
to the publishers and as special seem
cry and costumes were required the ex-
pense of production will he very heavy.

for money and have given the Dram
attic club orders to s,are NO expense

A change of point of diversion occurs

lected as the location OF the regional
bank for the entire Rocky Mountain re-
gion. The regional bank must have
capital Of not less than four million
dollars. The national banks, if they are
to continue the system, must subscribe
for stock of the regional bank in al
amount equal to 6 per cent of their
capital and surplus. Provided this does
not make the required capital any indi
vidual copartnership or corporation can
subscribe in an amount not exceeding
$4,000, and if this still leaves the cap
ital deficient the United States take )
the remainder. The dividend rate is
limited to 6 per cent per annum, but
the dividends are made up in succeed
ing years. The law provides that "eac
federal reserve bank shall establish
branch banks within the federal reserve
district in which it is located.' 1t is
worthy of note the law says "shall -
and not "may, so that any city hav-
ing large financial interests may reas-
onably hope to have branch esta D.
lished in their midst. Pueblo serving a
large territory, should have such a
branch.
The principal object of the federal re
cy, and to distribute reserves over the
entire country, instead of concentrating
them in New York City, as is the ten
dency under the present conditions.
Under present laws, in times of stress
or panic, the tendency of all banks is
to call loans, instead Of expanding them
according to the needs of their custom
ers, with the result that when money is
most needed it is hardest to get. Money
goes into hiding, reducing the available
supply.
Our currency system, being rigid.
affords no relief, and every bank looks
out for itself. Under the federal re
serve law federal reserve notes, or cur
rency, can De issued AT tHe 0lScfetlOn OF
the federal reserve board for the pur-
pose of making advances to banks with
in the system. A bank, under certain
limitations and having approved coIlat
eral, can always get currency. The law
provides that "each federal reserve
bank shall extend to each member bank
such discounts, advancements and ac-
commodations as may be safely and
reasonably made with due regard to :he
claims and demands of other member
banks" Under these conditions the
supply of currency should always DO
sufficient for the needs Of the country.
But the law is hedsed about with re
strictions % that the danger Of infla
tien il mininised. This i tie most
important feature Of the Aw, and should
render impossible for all tine panic.
