ruary Z, to Investigate the project from
all angles, and probably determine
whether the farmers Of this section
care to adopt the plan already being
advanced in Washington and Idaho.
Antagonism is shown
Evidence OF antagonism between tho

are interested. was shown by heated
debates between w. W Harrah ct
Pendlcton. formerly director Of the
defunct Farmers Union Grain agency
and Saplro. Harrah champions the
terminal company.
The afternoon session was devoted
largely to debate regarding the rel9,
tive merits of the cooperative system
as offered by Sapiro aud the other
marke ting concerns, OF a semi-coope-
ratve nature.
Following the arguments Sa"irc
asked that farmers in Oregon consider
the plan advanced from all angles,
making haste neither to accept nor re-
ject the idea He said that booklets
setting forth the entire plan will short
ly bo mailed to all farmers of wheat
In the Northwest.

WOMEN'S LEAGUE WANTS
CIVIL SERVICE EQUALITY
Trade Union Demands Representa-
ton on Commission-Endorses
Fcss and Mclean Bills.

The National women's Trade Union
League. with headquarters at, 1923
New York avenue, has instituted a
campaign for representation OF wom-
en- on the Federal Civil Service Com
mission and for equal rights in civil
service examinations and appoint
ments.
The league indorses a bill by Con-
gressman Fess OF Ohio to enlarge the
Civil Service Commission to five
members, of whom not less than two
shall be women, and a bill. previous
ly introduced by Senator Mclean OF
Connecticut, providing that appoint
ing officials shall not discriminate as
to sex unless it is a barrier to eff
cheney.
Fess is quoted as saying that since
the entry of America into the Euro
pean war the proportion of women in
civil service jobs has increased to
two-thirds of the total. According to
a recent report of the Women's Bu-
reau of the Department of Labor,
however, women were excluded from
1856 out OF 26O examinations held by
the Civil Service Commission in 1910.
Eighty-six per cent OF the women re-
ceive salaries from 5000 to 1920.
while only 36 per cent OF the men
are paid SO little. In the class from
81 800 to 81 500, only 8 per cent of
the women employees were included
and 27 per cent of the men.
The Civil Service Commission has
since changed its rules to admit wom-
en- to all examinations, but the Wom-
ems League maintains that the power
of discrimination is still exercised in
favor of men.

before there will be nationwide pro-

"is that they are not economically in
