OREGON RETAILERS
ATTACK ITS WE|CH1Y
BUSINESS PROBLEMS
Subject OF Child Labor ABLY
Discussed By Mrs. Trurl-
bull on Portland.

uring the past "a hours the Oregon
Retailers, in session in this city, have
been confronted with and tackled some
Of the greatest business problems tina!
come before the trade, and if they have
not settled them they have at least ex-
pressed their views. Oae of the biggest
of these was Dthe matter Of child and
woman labor in stores and factories.
This was presented to the dealers in an
exhaustive manner BY Mrs Mile R.
Trumbull, secretary of the child labor
and industrial welfare commission, of
Portland. Mrs. Trumbull speaks not
only from the cures that come into her
office, but from personal observations
Of conditions in business establishments
where women and children are compell-
ed to do work that is beyond their
strength. She emphasized strongly both
the physical and psychological dangers
Of this condition, and appealed to the
association to give its moral support
to any legislation looking toward bet
tering industrian conditions.
President Custer, in his remarks,
touched upon the duty of the retailers
in taking greater interest in legislation,
and especially legislation that had to
In nj aI snt -,
touched upon the invasion of local ter
ritory by the mail order octopus-some-
thing that has been emphasized this
week by the dumping Of As tons of
Sears Roebuck catalogues into the city
of Salem this week. Along with this
he mentioned the extent to which coop
erative buying is being done by con
SumerS.
Makes Recommendations
The president s recommendations,
which were presented at this session,
included the following:
Changing the name Of this organiza
tion to "Oregon State Retsilers' Asso- ,
citation" on the ground that the pres
ent name was too long and also because
it placed too much emphasis upon the
grocers, Leading to some confusion as
to the status Of the organization.
He recommended that the per capita
dues be made $100 instead Of e5 centi
and $500 for members not affiliated
with local, holding that present dues
we're not sufficient to care for the needs
If the association.
He recommended that the directors !
De hereafter elected in groups as fol-
ows: Two from Portland, two from
he Willamette Valley, two from the /
over Columbia district, three out of :
Southern Oregon, and three out, OF east. !
IN Oregon. B
No recommended that arrangements i
&c made whereby the organ Of the asso
iation--the Oregon Merchants Maya j
ine-should be made Of real benefit |
Trough advertising on the part of Or I
gon merchants. President Custer al I
0 called attention to the need of field 4
york in behalf of the association, and !
uggested that the secretary should
make regular tour Of the state during t
he year. I

Employees Appeared

Calculated by strike leaders to be as
dramatic display as they had regarded
the general sympathetic walkout in sup
support Of shipyard workers wage TO-
msnds, thousands of laborers and clerks
appeared at their employment stimuli
taneously.
Thus ended the most portentous nn-
dertaking Of Americas industrial life,
begun at 10 clock Thursday morning,
February 0, characterized by Mayor
Hanson and civic organizations as IAN
tbortive ATTEMPT to start a revolution
and by the strike monitors as "eon-
vincing demonstration of labor's soii-
dsrity.'

Strike Was Ended.

Seattle, WASH, Feb. l1.--At noon to-

switched its civic gear into "high"

strike Of workmen came to an official
close.
The majority of labor that had re-
mained out until then, went back to
its job.
Business did its best to make up for
lost time.
Street crowds hastened to deferred
shopping, thronging the avenue and
stores.
There was an almost audible sigh Of
relief as wanted activities were re-
sumcd.
Markets, shops, groceries, theatorics,
all places Of commerce and amusement,
combined to restore the interrupted So

Our Fighters Coming Home.

Salem, Ore. Feb. 17.-The 91st
= Wild West division Unit
ed States expeditionary forces
has been designated for return
with the latest date for embark
alton set for March l, according
to. word conveyed in a letter to
Governor Withycombe just re-
iceiyed from Major General Will
liam Johnston, in command of
the division
General Johnston s letter also
tells Of an inspection of the div
ision by General Pershing, in
which he personally presented
the congressional medal of honor
to two sergeants and nearly so
distinguished service crosses to
officers and men for extraordi-
nary heroism.
The above message is further
borne out by recent letter from
John NJ Booth, one of the Nez-
perez boys in the 91st. wherein
he states all is in readiness for
the division s embarkation for
home. A portion of his letter APP

Henry Schlautmann Dies Sud
denly.

Word was received here the
first of the week that Henry
Schlautmann, who moved from
the Russell section last Septem-
Der to the Savageton, Wyo.,
country, had passed away after
an illness Of less than two days.
He had been troubled with a
rheumatic condition about the
heart for some time, but seemed
in usual health just prior to his
fatal illness.
The deceased would have at
tanned his 72nd birthday next
March. He came to this prairie
from Nebraska some 20 years
ago and bought the farm near
Russell on which his family Of
four sons and five daughters was
raised. These children and his
wife survive him. and all Of them
now reside in Wyoming, but still
retain their old home place here.
One Of the daghters, Mrs. N. M.
Lauby, was highly esteemed
resident Of Nezperce for a num-
ber Of years, prior to their de-
parture last fall for Wyoming.
Mr.. Schlautmann was held in
high respect as pioneer citizen
of this county, and his passing
calls forth sincere sympathy
from the many old friends of the
bereaved family.

Masquerade Ball Grand Success.

This community was given a
real treat last Friday evening at
the Fraternal hall in the mas
querade ball engineered by the
local camp of the Woodmen of
the World. 1t was by far the
most successful event Of the sort
attempted here in recent, times,
and not only the participants but
the spectators took occasion to
compliment the management for
the good time afforded all.
{ The costumes were strikingly
fine in many cases and one was
generally given the impression Of
gazing over a fancy dress ball in
the city as he viewed the good
lnatured throng upon the floor,
gliding gracefully to the very ex-
cellent music furnished by A. r..
Larson, violinist, and Miss
Blanche Rowe, pianist-and each
of the twain a real artist.
Financially the dance measur-
ed well up to the success attain
ed as a social function long to be
pleasantly remembered, the pro-
moters having a fair margin of
profit over the considerable ex-
pense incurred.
Quite a pleasing and very salts
flying detail Of the evenings en-
ioyment, too, was the cafeteria
luncheon served by the Women
Of Woodcraft in the F'raternal
banquet room. The many good
things found here to eat added
wonderfully to the spirit that
kept the jewellers going until the
early morning hours Of a new
day.
Several tempting prizes had
been offered. and they were car
ried off by the following mask
ers:
Best costumed man, j. r. Dun
ham. as Uncle Sam.
Best costumed lady, Mrs.
Louis Primus, as the Goddess of
Liberty.
Best costumed group (The

tween the following two Of three
characters each)-Norbert Med

Six Counties To Join In Institute

County Superintendent ol
Schools Miss Norma Wilson
went to Lewiston Tuesday to be
present at a conference of county
superintendent which convened
to consider arrangements for a
joint teachers institute.
AS result of the conference
which was also attended by the
school superintendents Of Nez-
Perce, Idaho, Latah and Clear
water counties, a joint institute
will be held in Lewiston next fall
with a program measuring up to,
if not surprising, the institute
planned for last fall, but which
was postponed on account of the
influenza epidemic, said the Tri-
bune. Asotin county will be the
sixth to participate in the big ed
ucational event.
Tuesday s conference was held
upon invitation issued by Mrs.
Minnie Faust, superintendent of
Nez Perce county. This confer
ence showed a most enthusiastic
interest in the plan adopted and
decision was unanimous that the
institute should be held the first
week in October, while a third
conclusion reached was to invite
F. w. Simmonds, superintendent
of the Lewiston public schools.
to assume the responsibility of
director.
With the decision reached this
early to arrange the institute il
will be possible to Immediately
take up the matter Of securing
for the program, leading educat-
ors of the country, before their
plans have been made, and
it is felt that through this fact
the presence here Of an excep-
tionally strong list Of speakers
and lecturers can be secured
The superintendents also took
up consideration Of the matter of
the annual inter-county spelling
match, and decided to waive the
match this year, due to condi-
tions arising from the influenza
epidemic which closed for long
