WOMEN IN WAR INDUSTRIES.

Editor Journal:
The Oregonian contains statement
today that a conference has been held
at the department of labor and Chief
Deputy Gram announces that 'semploy-
ment of women in hazardous oecupa-
tions such as saw and planineg mills is
not necessary at this time as thousands
of men are still employed in clerical
and other light Positions" Hundreds

'coveralls are employed in saw and

eight hours They are rendering val
liable and Necessary sevice in such EN-
ployment at Salem, Silvereton and all
over the state where there are any Of
these branches Of the lumber industsy.
If they like this kind Of work and pre-
fer it and are making good on the job
what right has the state labor depart
ment to bar them from such employ
ment, or try to force them to do eler-
ical work for which many of them
have not the necessary preparation? At
Salem young women are working in
the lumber industry who were stenog-
raphers and clerks for the simple rea-
son that they can make twice the wages
as patriotic war industry workers that
they ever could get in the eight po-
sitions' referred to. As to such EN-
ployment being hazardous, it is no
more so for women than for men. and
many woman has had her finger cut
off or her hand mangled splitting wood
or working clothes wringer Have we
no longer a free country and is our
boasted equal rights for women and
men myth 1t would seem so, if our
labor officials have their way.

WEAK STATE EXECUTIVE.

(Medford Mail Service.)
' We are reminded that this is election
year and that general election is ap-
preaching by the presence in the city
| of Walter N. Pierce of La Grande, dem
ocratic candidate for governor, and by
the czar-like attempt of that petty par
tisian habitual tax-eater, County Clerk
Gardner, to keep the democratic nom-
inee for sheriff off the ticket.
Generally speaking politics is ad-
Journed. The war is absorbing our in
terests and our efforts to finance the
Liberty loans. and various war funds.
and make both ends meet, leaves but
little time or inclination to discuss poll
ties. Nationally, We believe in support
ing those who will best support the adj
ministration in making the war sue
cess
In state and local affairs, tho condi-
tions are different National issues do
not govern and it becomes merely q
question of personality and efficiency
in administration.
Mr. Pierce has the advantage over
Governor Whitycombe in that he is Of
admittedly gubernatorial size. For
many years he has been prominent in
state affairs. He is known as careful
and conservative, man Of poise and
Judgment "a plain commonsense man of
the people.
Governor Whitycombe, personally a
most affable old gentleman, is badly
handicapped by his record. His con-
duct OF the state prison, for which he
is personally responsible, has been a
continuous record of scandal. Abolish.
ing the excellent system his predeces.
sor installed, he instituted regime of
oppression and cruelty resulting in
mutiny and murder. Then he went to
the other extreme in leniency, with re.
sultlng decentralization. His flax ex-
pertinent proved costly failure to ths
taxpayers
NO appointments ever made by an
executive of Oregon have aroused
greater protest than those by Governor
Whltycombe. He has constantly play
,ea politics = even with the supreme
court-his latest being to appoint a
police court judge to the supreme
bench because the latter conducted his
personal press bureau in his campaign
Tor reelection. In other words. he has
used the supreme court to pay off poll
tlcal debts regardless of the fitness Of
appointees - and the same pernicious
principles have governed all of HE dis
