THE Col.O.
.EDITORIAL.
' By Charles
UB were privileged for three
" of the Oregon State Indutruil council in Roseburg. We
were greatly impressed by this convention, despite the fact
we were able to spend only a little time in the convention hall,
; ;Accu.stomed to meetings at which delegates and visitors
.spend a, good deal of time ijt entertainment, recreation, and
horseplayi : wi$lt; , an occasional showing of rowdyism, we
could not, help but be impressed with the conduct of the
delegates to the state C. I. O. gathering.
Except for the fact one saw on the streets a number of
strange men and women wearing badges, and that hotels
and restaurants were crowded, there was little to indicate
a convention was in progress.
No hotel lobby groups were harmonizing "Sweet Adeline."'
No mirrors were tossed out of hotel windows, no bags of
water dropped on the heads of passersby, no noisy night
parties. It was not the kind of a convention we have been
laminar witn m the past.
Most interesting was the conduct of the business sessions.
The convention hall demonstrated the old town, meeting ijt
its best tradition. Any person was privileged,, to 'stand on.
his own two. feet and speak his piece. Direct-action was
manifest from beginning to end. .There',;tyas :lttle; use of,
formal, diplomatic language. When a delegate had some?.
thing to say, he said it without flourishes and without any
chance for his words to contain double meanings JJis state;
ments were unequivocal and to the point. If he had a criti
cism to make, there was no mistaking the: subject of his
criticism nor the reason for it. There wer'e'clifferences.o
opinion, and arguments waged hot and virulent. But little
bitterness or rancour was in evidence, and diiteAhJiJieuUsd;
words which might fly any
mignt be seen a lew minutes later-collaborating on. another
issue on which they were in perfect harmonyJ,- , j
Ernest Baker, president and presiding officer-;1 made it a
point to see that any delegate or visitor who desired to speak
before the convention had an opportunity to be heard on any
subject. Yet, in conducting the business affairs, he could
be blunt and forthright in keeping the discussion confined
to tho issues before .the meeting. It was one of the most
democratic sessions of its kind we have ever had the pleasure
of attending. Although we, personally, could not agree with
some of the viewpoints expressed by individuals and, at
times, by the convention as a whole, yet the demonstration of
a group of men and women attacking important problems in
a vigorous, forthright and democratic spirit was an encour
aging sight.. I, '-'
We observed also the apparent sincerity with, which the
convention approached niajor problems. - Some of the speak
ers were intemperate in statements and at times bordered
,tho radjical,, yet they were given polite hoarinn ajnd corn
pleto' freedom of expression. But those speakers who dis
cussed major issues of politics, economics, production, and
other problems, and who presented an authoritative view.
were given the closest attention and appreciative applause.
We may not at all t.-mes agree with the attitude of organiz
ed labor. We are certain to find, when groups are organized
for their own particular welfare, au intolerance of other
groups and classes. Nevertheless as long as men and women
imbued with the patriotism demonstrated in the C. I. O.
convention here get together and, with full exercise of
democratic privileges, freely discuss the varied opinions they
hold, there is ample assurance that this country cannot go
too far wrong for any great period of time.

points with pride to the great
achievements of our history,
and to crises through which we
have passed triumphantly be
cause our country 'has produc

hood. Our people hope for the
future lies in this fact. Today
we do not point to our mate

terms o our nation we do not
point to our material might.
We are thinking in terms, ol
something more worthy than
wealth. We point to those men
who have loved liberty and Jus
lice, and who have been willing
to lay down their lives for
those things. It is fitting that
we should thank God that He
has given us the opportunity to
hold aloft the light of truth,
liberty and justice that all peo

'life, liberty and the pursuit of
happiness," and may under

Railway Wage Dispute
Conference Postponed
WASHINGTON, Jan. 10 (AP)
A special presidential board ap
pointed to recommend a solution
ot the railroad wage dispute in
volving the fifteen non-operating
unions postponed Its hearing to
day until Thursday because of
the absence from the city of the
unions' chief counsel, Donald
Richberg.
The unions have contended
they are entitled to a review of
their overtime demands exclusive
ot any other consideration, but
they have not been able to learn
from the administration whether
the board is empowered also to
consider tha graduated increases
of. 4 to 10 cents- which it recom
mended last November. They
contend that they, have accepted
the 4 to 10 cents and those in
creases are no longer at issue.
