DECISION OF COURT
IN WEIGHT CASE HAS
STATE WIDE BEARING
IGNORANCE IN USING SHORT
WEIGHT SCALES NO EN-
CUSE UNDER LAW

Ignorance OF the fact that he T.
using short-weight scales or weights
does not excuse a dealer under the
new state law. This, in substance is
the ruling in the case of the State vs.,
{. f. Colesworthy. The law was
drawn for the protection Of the pub
JIG and il is impossible for the pu0-
lie to know whether or not the scales
or weights are correct whereas it Il,
possible for the dealer to know. the
judge holds.
While the individual case at issue
is not considered an important one,
the principle involved is one that the
official sealers regard as vital and the
decision of Judge Phelps has been
awaited all over the state. The su-
preme court has not yet passed upon
the matter and, until it does Judge
Phelps decision will establish the law
in this jurisdiction and will have
more or less bearing all over The
state.
Mr. Colesworthv was indicted by
the last grand jury on a charge OF
using short weights Il was jus.
shortly after he had taken over has
present business and. in pleading not
| guilty. he stated that the weiglts

The defendant admitted he had used
! short weights and the district attor-
ney accepted his statement that h.
was innocent OF any intent to sell
short measure. Under this stlpula-
tion the case was submitted to Judge
Phelps for an opinion.
The judge held that the offense
was complete without any intent 90

The very act of using short weights,

The most frequent complaint which
we heard from the employers con-
corning their difficulties in comply
ing with the law came from the mer-
chants, who protested against the
lack of cooperation from the shop
ping public, especially the women.
The latest hour at which a merchant
in the towns of the state, other than
Portland, may employ women in his
establishment is $3.50 O'Clock p. m,
(in Portland this is s p. M. Many
merchants say that they approve this
provision of the commissions rulings
because it shortens their own AMI
their men employees working day. Iu
number Of towns however, the mov-
ing picture houses run one show
from Z p. m. to $50 p. m. and a see.
ond show from $40 p. m. until 10 p
m. The country shoppers and lae
working people for whom the stores
are expressly kept open on Saturdav
nights come 1T is claimed to the
first show, that is from seven to
eight-thirty and then just when the
women clerks must go home, these
late customers flood the stores de
manding service. There Is no rea
son why this shopping could not be
accomplished from m. to $50 p
m and the show enjoyed from $3.50
p. m. until 10 y. m.
Knowing what force for educa-
ton the newspapers are and having
received offers If cooperation from
many OF them, the Industrial Wei
fare commission is writing to you
now asking you to use your influence
