So per day for carpenters. He said
"The church owns seven houses and
we can scatter out in these, if need
be, but if | have any influence with
our people we shall not ask farmers
who are selling wheat that cost them
from $1.50 per bushel up, for 81. 1.25
per bushel, or less, and people whose
salaries and wages are reduced to
pay So per day for carpenters. We
will pay union wages if union wages
are right, but will not pay So per day
when every class of labor is lower" +"
Rev Mr.. Perry got the only applause
given during the discussion, which
was led by Frank Stevens and Dean
Hamilton, for the So scale and by
Rev. Mr.. Perry and Ralston Butter
field for the same scale in Moscow
as in other towns.
Mr.. Butterfield asked Mr.. Stevens
eff SO per day was right in 1920
should not wages be lower this year
when the cost of living and the price
of everything else is lower? Stevens
refused to answer the question but
stated that carpenters only work
about five months in the year and
they have to have big wages to make
$1,000 or even $1100 per year and we
are not going to lower our scale of
living by reducing wages" Mr.. Over
smith asked Stevens if the carpenters
worked longer than five months a
year if wages would be reduced and
Stevens replied that the carpenters
union will reduce wages to Sc per day
if any one will guarantee them nine
months work a year. No one offered
to make the guarantee and the scale
was not reduced
For Upham Inauguration
Professor Angel called the atten-
ton of the chamber to the inaugural
ceremonies for President Upham, of
the University of Idaho, March 29
and 80 and asked the cooperation of
the chamber in providing homes for
the visitors, of whom he said there
may be from $50 to $50 and the
hotels cannot accommodate them.
They will need places to sleep and
homes must be thrown open to them.
G. P. Mix called attention to the
basket ball tournament and asked
he members of the chamber and the
people of Moscow generally to patron
re it and help to make the visiting
basket ball players feel at home in
Moscow and want to return here as
students of the University of Idaho.

EDUCATIONAL BILL
WILL BECOME LAW
NEXT SESSION OF CONGRESS
EXPECTED TO PASS THIS
NEEDED LEGISLATION.

Westinghouse Capital News Ser
vice)-The Department of Education
measure now pending in Congress
will, like numerous other vastly i'm
portant measures, go over for action
to the new Congress. According to
Uniformed members of the two
Houses the only thing which prevent
ed this measure becoming law at the
session of Congress expiring with
March 3 was the jam which almost
stopped the legislative machinery,
and the recognized need for the car
rying out of an economy program.
That it will become law at the hands
of the incoming Congress seems to be
assured.
Suggesting the favorable attention
which the bill is attracting in all sec
tions of the country, strong editor
ial appearing recently in the Mem
phis News-Scimitar is here repro
duced in part. Following a statement
to the effect the paper desires to be
placed on record as favoring the
Smith -Towner bill, the editorial con-
tinues:
I'VE favor the creation of cabinet
position and the appointment of a
IcuSIdl ocCIOCdIy VI SuuCAClOIl.
"We are in favor of education as a
principle of Americanism. We are in
favor of education, paid for and spon-
sored by state and nation, for what it
means to the youth of the present
day and for what it will mean to the
mature manhood and womanhood of
the future.
eve favor a more liberal appro-
priation by state and nation for edu-
cation, because we have witnessed too
often the high cost Of illiteracy.
Education is cheap at any price,
and ignorance is too expensive at any
cost.
sFor some unaccountable reason
there has sprung up powerful lobby
in opposition to the Smith -Towner
bill We do not know where it ori-
mated or what it means.
eff you feel as we do about this
matter write a letter to your con-
gresham today and tell him you
favor government aid of education; |
that the Smith Towner bill meets |
your views, and that you favor the
creation of cabinet official to be |
known as the secretary of education,
equal in all respects to every other
cabinet position, and that you want /
to know what his views are on the
subject"

CHAMBER ENDORSED
ARMENIAN RELIEF
CARPENTERS HOLD UP DISCUS
SED BUT NO ACTION TAKEN
LARGE ATTENDANCE.

There was lare attendance and
much interest shown in Wednesdays
luncheon of the chamber of COM
merce. E. R. Headley asked the
chamber to endorse the drive for
funds for Near East Relief, he hav-
ing been asked to act as chairman
for the drive in Latah county which
is asked to give $4,000. This brought
on heated discussion. A. H. Over
smith charged that a large per cent
of the funds thus raised are used for
overhead" expense and that very
little of the money reaches the peo-
pie for whom it is given. He called
attention to the Associated Press re-
port that money raised for this fund
had been used to buy a banquet at
1925 per plate in Constantinople, for
some of the relief workers.
Ralston Butterfield stated that the
Near East Relief organization had
refused to join with Hoover and the
Literary Digest movement, in which
there was no overhead expense, but
every dollar went to. the suffering,
because it would throw a large num-
ber of secretaries and clerks and
others who were living off of this
fund, out of employment. After
much discussion, some of it heated, as
when w. E. Lee stated that the Ar
menians would starve to death while
waiting for Oversmith to ascertain
what he wanted to know, and Judge
Morgareidge suggesting that we wait
nine months and spend that time try
ing to ascertain where all of the
money would go and that by that
time there would be no need for it,
the motion was put to a vote and
carried there being a number of
noes" but the "ayes" had a safe
majority. Mr.. Headly will begin an
active campaign to raise Latah coun-
ty's quota at once.
Discuss Carpenters Wages.
When President Hagan called for
discussion of the carpenters wage
controversy no one seemed anxious
to speak. The chairman called on
Frank Stevens, business agent" for
the carpenters union, who declared
the jurisdiction had been extended to |
take in Colfax, Pullman, Lewiston
and Moscow and wages had been fix |
ed at So per day and would be main /
tanned at that figure unless some
good reason could be shown why they
should be reduced. He contended the |
