BIG I0GG|NG CAMPS
| ON 8.H0UR BASIS
THE BORDEAUX AND MUD BAY
WORKS JOIN MASON COUNTY
OPERATORS IN CHANGE.

In response to the urgent requests
which have come from government;
officials since the reality of the war
became apparent the largest lumber
ing operatives in Mason county have
agreed to the adoption of the basic
eight-hour day in their logging
camps, the Mason County Journal
says, thus leaving aside every other
consideration in their efforts to meet
the government demands for more
and yet more, logs and timber, and
leaving no loop-hole for complaint
on the part of even the worst agitator
or trouble-maker.
While the working hours will re-
main as in the past, around nine
hours a day. because of the govern
ment need, the time over the enght
hours will be paid for as overtime.
A meeting was held in Shelton
Sunday, February 10, at the request
of NJ. E. Reed Of the Simpson Log.
ging company, in which Thomas Dor.
deaux of the Mason County Log
ging company, Mark Draham of the
Mud Bay Logging company, George
Simpson, superintendent of the Phoe-
nix Logging company, A. G. Cush-
man of Fredson Bros. company, and
Superintendent Slack of the Stimson
Logging company, all took part and
agreed to the action outlined above,
and the various camps under their
control adopted the new order last
week.
The wages in the logging camps
now range from 1915 for eigh,
hours. the lowest paid, up as high as
IS day, and the new rule means an
increase of from SO cents to one dol
lar in the wages of each man. 1t is
probable that the eight-hour basic
day is now fixture in the lumber as
we'll as all other industries, although
wages will doubtless continue to be
subject to the law of supply and de-
mand, and while the war continues
to draft able men for service. demand
will far exceed the supply and high
wages rule everywhere.

SOUTH BAY FARM
FIGURES IN SUIT
LEO DEHART CHARGED WITH
HAVING CNDCLY INFLUENCED
LATE MRS. FARRELL.

Suits to recover South Bay real es-
tate valued at $4,000, personal prop
erty worth $500 and an alleged in
debtedness of $4,000, have been filed
in the local superior court against
Leo DeHart of South Bay, by Mrs.
Catherine c. Brucker, Administrative
of the estate Of her mother, Mrs. Mar
garet Farrell, charging that DeHart
unlawfully obtained the property
through undue influence he is alleged
to have exerted over Mrs. Farrell.
1t is set forth in the suits that De-
Hart came to the home of Mr.. and
Mrs. Farrell in 1887 to work for them
and that he Influenced Mrs. Farrell to
such an extent that a few weeks be-
fore her death last December he pre-
vailed upon her to come to Olympia
and deed all the real estate to him,
without knowledge of any other men,
Der Of the family.
Mrs. Brucker asserts that her
mother was incompetent to execute
the deed, because of bodily and men,
tai infirmity. She asserts that the
property was earned by her father
and mother, that it was community
property and that her father did not
sign the deed. The father, Charles
Farrell, survives, and there is another
daughter, Agnes Furness.
The suits further charge that De-
Hart logged timber from the estate
valued at $500, that he converted to
his own use logging outfit valued at
$500, and that he became indebted to
Mrs. Farrell to the extent of at least
$4,000 for services, such as cooking,
she performed for him.
