narrow and somewhat steep In

Votes Two
AS Unfair
Van Patten and New
Hospital Placed on
Unfair List by Labor
Council.

Concurring in the action OF tn
carpenters union, the Salem Gen.
trail Labor council placed the Sa
lem hospital association and Clar
ence Van Patten & Son, contrac
tors for the new building, on th'
unfair list last night at its meet
ing la the labor temple.
Van PatteD was placed first or
the list, a communication from
the carpenters having been read
BY Charles Barber, stating that
the union wished the approval OF
the council OF its action taken last
week In placing the contractor un-
fair. There was little argument
concerning the matter, and there
were no dissenting votes.
Action Explained
In taking the action members Oh
the council stated that they be-
lieved Van Patten, from the first,
had shifted the responsibility OF
the wage scale OF So day for
carpenters on the new hospital, in
order to obtain carpenters at low
rr rates on other Jobs for which he
holds contracts, and pointed to the
fact that Van Pattcn had the con-
tract changed to read, in sub
stance, that the hospital board
would be responsible for their an
nounced wage scale.
evan Patten has been wanting
reduction OF wages since last fall,
stated J. N. Ganiard, head OF the
painters union. "Never before
has Van Patten allowed anyone To-
dictate to him what he should pay
his men.
"He figured on the contract for
erection building for state instf-
tutions at the wage scale Of 1920
day and wants the carpenters
wages cut to So day so that he
can stick the $1.20 In his pocket.
Vote Unanimous
In placing the hospital associa-
tion on the unfair list with Van
patten, an action delayed for three
weeks, there was dissension voiced
but the motion carried by a unani-
NOUS vote.
The secretary was instructed to
inform the state federation OF la
Dor with headquarters in Portland
as to the action. and also to inform
the different labor presses
the state.
Tom Kay. OF the building COM
mittee OF the hospital, was ac-
cused OF wanting reduction in
wages on all skilled labor. while
Henry w. Meyers, hospital mana
ger, and directing the building OPP
erations, was said to have ap-
preached carpenters asking them
10 use their influence in the union
o accept a cut on the building.

was taken last night.
