This nation was late in entering the European conflict
but after entering it, bore its fun share OF the task o

If they were really anxious to be
busy. Several New York newspapers
who have made an investigation Of
the subject confirm this view. +,
In so far as there is any real un-
employment or shortage of work for
those who are willing to work at a
far wage. it is due, in my opinion,
to the dislocation caused by the un-
necessarily abrupt denation which
was brough about by high interest

mism Of which the United States
was the victim until recently.

Something is almost sure to be

slowed down gradually without in

economic machinery tried to stop il
too suddenly and more or less dis

leased, the train is moving again,

readings on and after April 10th,
the price of gas to approximately
81 per cent of the patrons of the
Portland Gas G. Coke company is
reduced by five cents per thousand

mately 100000 annually.
Patrons of the case company at
Oregon City, Hillsboro, Forest
Grove. Gresham and intermediate
poipts. as well as those living in
and adjacent to Portland, will also
benefit by the reduction, which
NAV also be applied to Vancouver
IL the company so desires, al
though the Oregon commission has
no authority to regulate rates in
Washington.
Today's order was based on a
reduction in the price Of oil TO the
gas company to fifteen cents per
barrel under the price on whicn
the order Of January Is increasing
