NETHOD|STS PROTEST
AGAINST CARNIVAL
IN SALEM STREETS
viii Take No Legal Action,
However, to Force Closing
Of Amusements

We, the undersigned committee ap-
pointed by the official board of the
First Methodist Episcopal church of Sa-
lem, Oregon, to investigate and take
such action as we might deem proper
in reference to the present carnival
conditions upon Church and Ferry
streets now operating under the aus
pices of the Moose and Maceabee lodges
of the City of Salem, desire to make a
public statement in reference to the
matter
First, much of the so-calLed amuse-
ment furnished by the carnival compan-
les is of deplorable character, which
ought not, in our opinion to be permit
ted to operate or exist in any decent
city.
Second, that the atrenlpt 10 pace
such carnival, or any carnival in the
residence and church district of the city
is obnoxious to resident individuals in
that vicinity and the congregations of
the churches effected, aud most detri.
mental to civic pride.
Third, that in this time Of eonserva-
tion and sacrifice upon the part Of
everyone to promote Americas deter
mined effort to win the world war,
there is no legitimate excuse for the
existence or operation of such business
or the use of the railway facilities for
transporting the same.
Fourth, we consider much of the car.
nival of such character as to consti.
tute it a public nuisance and the only
reason that our committee has not ia.

is in Difference to the lodges which have
promoted it, and only then because it

METAL TRADES UNION
WILLING TO WORK
LIKE OTHER PEOPLE
Portland Members Consent to
Give Up Saturday Half
Holiday Each Week

Portland, Or, May 24.-Aetion of
the Portland Metal Trades Union ex-
ecutive council in voluntarily suggest
ing the surrender Of Saturday half hol,
idays during June, July and August,
that shipbuilding may be speeded up
was one Of the most important steps
ever made by labor in the United
States, said Arthur W. Jones today.
Jones is examiner for the wage adj
justment board of the federal govern
ment.
:" This action represents a tremend-
Gus sacrifice which Nill net be gener-
ally recognized, Jones told the Unit
ed Press. "It will mean a great deal to
the government S ShipDuilding pro-
gram and great thing for organized
labor. "
Jones explained that these half hol-
idays, provided in the Macy award,
had been won after a FIGHT of more
than fifty years-that they were a fe-
tish to the Unionists and that the vol
untary surrender represented patiotic
action of the highest order.
Jones issued an appeal to the news
papers of the coast to conduct an in
telligent campaign, explaining to ship
builders everywhere the significance
of the half holiday surrender, aud how,
if applied everywhere it would mean
35 additional ships for the govern
ment during the three months.
The Metal Trade Union in Portland
represents 1900 shipyard workers,
said Jones. There are 10000 shipbuild
ers in Portland, and the 900 not di-
rectly affected would without doubt
be forced to follow the lead set by the
metal trades, if the idea goes through.
Only the first big step has been
taken, Jones explained. The executive
council will begin today working with
Portland S seventeen loNals. They will
adopt the half holiday surrender with
out doubt if the newspapers give it
publicity, he said. After they adopt it,
the plan must be sanctioned in all the
coast cities, for the provision is add
ed that it must be general along the
coast
The resolution unanimously adopted
by the executive council shows that
the nations 100000 shipbuilders will
produce two and a half ships in half
day, and that if every shipyard con
tinues to work during the half holi.
days involved the nation S ships will
be increased by 35. The workers, the
statement says, would be donating $40,
100000 directly to the government.
