Oregon State Federation Peti-
tons Union Leaders to
Adopt Savings Policy.

Portland, Ore-The Oregon State
ference of the heads Of international
labor unions affiliated with the Ameri-
can Federation of Labor, which opens
its session in Washington, D. c., De
cenber Is, to include in any program
that they may promulgate as result
of the failure of the industrial con
ference a plank memorializing the
Federal Government 10 continue and
elaborate, if necessary, its Thrift and
War Savings Stamps movement as a
permanent national policy. The Ore
son Federation also has asked all other
State Federations of Labor in the
United States to make a similar re
quest Of the conference. President O..
r. Hartwig of the Oregon Federation
signed the letter, which follows:
"Inasmuch as the United States Gov
eminent is engaged in advancing the
War Savings Stamps campaign in q
vigorous manner, and inasmuch as the
War Savings Stamps are the best pos
sible forms Of investment for working
men and women, particularly organ
lied workers, and also because the pos
session of War Savings Stamps by
workers while defending their rights
either while out on strike or otherwise,
gives them a degree of security that
ordinarily they do not possess, there
fore, the State Federation of Labor OF
Oregon makes the following sugges
tioa: That your Federation join with US
in urging upon the national con
ference that has been called in Wash
ington, D. c., by the American Fedora
ton Of Labor, the adFisability of in
Guiding in any program that they may
promulgate, a War Savings Stamps
plank or provision.
we feel that this will materially
strengthen the position of organized
labor and will also give US the sinews
of war when most needed. Trusting,
therefore, that you will find it possible
to join us in urging upon the national
conference this provision, and thank
ing you In advance for concurring in
this suggestion, we beg to remain"

in abundance. Given over to the
butcher, the animal becomes q source
Of manifold products, each part Of its
body having value Of its own. The
flesh is highly nutritious: the skin is
made into leather for harness and
shoes; the hair furnishes stufing for
saddles; the taIl5w serves for making
candles and soap: the bones. half cal

COATING lren Mith Lead.

Lead as a substitute for tin as a
coating for sheet iron, iron wire and
wire gauze was strongly advocated at
the Buffalo meeting of the American
Chemical society by Charles Basker-
Vile. who exhibited some specimens
of a process worked out by him.
Iron shingles, so treated. have been
exposed to the weather in roof test
for two years and eleven months aAd
show no signs OF rust. They may be
bent without cracking the coating and
exposing the iron. Chicken wire so
treated is quite as good as the galvan-
ICED and cheaper to produce.

The Virgin Islands

The people Of the Virgin islands
having enjoyed the experience of see
ing their territory sold "over their
heads" by Denmark to the United
States of America. are reported 70 be
settling down without ado 70 their as
Sociations with the new landlord. They
have. ii would seem. reasonable e<pec-
tations of increasin prosperity. owing
TO the constant visits of American
warships TO the harhor Of St Thomas
and to the presence of American rcri-
ments in their midst. both OF which
circumstances serve TO stimulate trade
and TO make the Islands appear busy
and announcements" Meanwhile
small appropriation from the United
States covers the discrepancy between
the expenditure and revenue Of the
islands. which are governed locally. as
under Denmark. BY the Colonial
Council" II remains for the United
States congress to decide what shah
ne the permanent form Of government.
And the Virgin islands are doubtless
living in hopes.
