INCREASED COST OF
GASOLINE IN OREGON
TO BE INVESTIGATED
SALEM, Ore., Aug. 26.—'O! P. Hoff,
state treasurer and state sealer of
weights and measures, let it be known
that he will investigate the recent in
crease in. the price of gasoline.
Several months ago when the short
age of gasoline became apparent, pros
ecutions under the 6 per cent specific
gravity law were suspended so that
gasoline might be available for the
essential industries of Oregon, the un
derstanding being that the distribu
tors would reduce the price 1 y2 cents
a gallon if they were permitted to sell
the same grade of fuel as sold in
Washington.
The quality has been reduced, it is
said, but the price has continued to
advance.
“The increased price demanded is
apparently so much greater than the
increased cost of production, trans
portation, etc.,” said Mr. Hoff, “that
it appears an attempt is being made
to take advantage of a critical situa
tion. This, in my opinion, is unwar
ranted, and a violation of the under
standing of the oil companies, and is
reacting unfavorably to the state of
Oregon industrially and commercially.
The original understanding as to qual
ity to be furnished and price to be
charged was made only after the
shortage seriously threatened the
moving of crops and the continuance
of operation of industries depending
on the output of the oil companies.”
BIG SEAL HARVEST
ON PRIBILOFF ISLANDS
SEATTLE, Aug. 26 (by Associated
Press).—Reports to the bureau of fish
eries indicate a $2,000,000 seal harvest
on the Pribiloff island this season.
The number of skins taken is expected
to reach 30,000, the first shipment of
which will arrive here early next
month.

RATE OF WAGES
FOR WOMEN IS
FIXED BY LAW
SEATTLE, Aug. 26.—Judge John M.
Wilson of the county superior court
has rendered a decision sustaining the
constitutionality of the state indus
trial welfare law and the legality of
the action of the industrial welfare
commission in fixing wages for women
and girls employed in hotels at $18
a week, with one day’s rest in seven.
Associated hotel men of the state,
in an appeal taken from the commis
sion’s finding, attacked the procedure
as insufficient and invalid.
Judge Wilson overruled this con
tention, sustaining the commission
throughout. It is expected the hotel
men will appeal to the supreme court.
Restaurants and lodging houses are
included in the $18 minimum scale.
Virtually the same issues have been
raised against the industrial welfare
commission’s action in fixing an $18
minimum for women and girls in fac
tory employment. This scale was
voted by a factory employment con
ference called after the hotel employ
ment conference had been held, but
the industrial welfare commission,
following a chance in its personnel,
by a tie vote ratified the finding and
gave it the legal status of a state
order. Chairman C. . Younger, who
voted against adopting an $18 scale
for factory women, holds that the tie
vote can be reconsidered at option of
i the commission.
