Thoy nerv ed notice on the city's business ' leaders that 'unlrss something was done 'to make conditions ' tolerable they (the 'farmers) ' would take their business else where. It was dbvlous that they meant business. WHAT was done is Interesting. The employers of San Fran . cisco-took a'leaf from their em ployees' hook nnd ORGANIZED. They 'did a 'thorough Job of It. ' 'When 'they got through with the Job, their association was as Air tight hs'tlrat bflhcUniorfs. Most ; 'imnortant ot rill, they chose lead cm with vision and Intelligence ' Op -to Ibat time, every employ-' er who faced a strike meea it ALONE against the massed might of the' unions. Thereafter, every strike, big or little, was 'handled for the employer by his association. Organization met organization, on EQUAL terms. WHAT happened is IMMENSE LY significant. 'Civil war didn't sweep the city. 'Blood didn't flow. 'Instead (sur prisingly soon) employers and rmployees, evenly matched In power and' therefore RESPECT FUL of each other's rlgllts, be ran to sit down around a table to figure out what could be done to keep the wheels moving. It worked. The 'beginning of San Fran cisco's rebirth -dates from that time. By Charles V. Stanton , RAYMOND CLAPPER, reporter, news analyst and com mentator, rated as one of the nation's best and most re spected journalists, has closed ranks with other sdldiers of the press who have sacrificed their lives that the people at home might have the benefit of first-hand information, gathered by trained and experienced observers at the battle fronts. Clapper died in a collision of airplanes while shar ing with service men 'the .dangers of a combat mission in the Marshall islands invasion. ' Fifteen correspondents have lost their lives while engag ed in actively reporting the news from the various areas of warfare. Scores have been wounded. Several have Von decorations for their devotion to duty the duty of fighting a war with pencil, typewriter and copy paper. They are truly soldiers. Their contributions to the war effort have served to speed production, to stimulate home front morale and to, liiik firesides with the battlefields. The supreme sacrifice made by our war correspondents should serve to arouse the American people to demand re lease from the foolish and Unnecessary-restrictions which inr competent censors have placed about the news from our fighting fronts. ! While men like Clapper men whose sound judgment-ana reporting accuracy are needed in this troubled world of to-day--are giving their lives to pick up the crumbs, inexperij enced, authority-conscious censors are rationing the meat or the news, a la' OPA. r A reader of the dispatches from the war fronts cannot help but contrast the detailed reports, emanating from the theater controlled by Admiral Nimilz, with the hazy, con flicting, -obviously restricted communiques from the Italian froiit, where our forces apparently are bogged down by more than Italian mud. Censors have used the mud to obscure the real picture of the campaign. 1 ! Admiral Nimitz has given the American people a bril liant play-by-play report of the fighting in his zone. We thrilled with pride, despite our tears over losses, as we learned of the costly but gallant victory lit Tarawa. We can almost hear the thunder of guns and the crash of bombs as our forces crack the Marshall Islands in their first Invasion of Japanese mandated territory. Day-by-day we can follow the, gains and know our losses. But from the Italian campaign we learn little, except that our troops are inching forward, three miles a week, through snow, rain and mud. We are given only a. general commu nique carefully obscuring either the presence or lack of general strategy. "There is a joke going the rounds among Washington newspapermen about the attitude of Admiral King, com mander of the U. S. Fleet, toward navy publicity," says Palmer Hbyt, editor of The Oreuonwn, who recently resigned Urter six months as director of the domestic branch of :(He Office of War Information, writing in the current issue of The American magazine. "They say, with all respect to the greatness of the Admiral, that if he had his way he would issue only one communique to the people, and that at the end of the war : 'We won !' " Wo hope everyone will rend "Kp" Hoyt's article "What the Public Must He Told," in The American. We are sure those Who read will join him in his belief that: This war has not yet become personal with us at home. It can never be personal without the searing flame of battle and the cry of the wounded In our ears. But if we hear the truth, day by day, by radio, read it in our newspapers and magazines, hear it from the rostrum and the housetops, we'll silence the babble, sober the feather-minded, and fight like hell. And when we make a peace, we'll never, never let it happen no-ain." The soldiers of the press carry on at home and abroad, demanding the news all the news yet sacrificing their lives for the crumbs. It's only a job, but in that job the job of accurately reporting ALL the news lies the future safety of freedom and democracy.

C, Jan. 29. - No ilvers and harbors bill was passed during the 77lh congress (elected In 1I10. session In 19-11 and 1912.1 A hill was reported In November, 19-11, but was not considered on the floor of the house. National defense work on rivers and harbors has been done, but regular Improvements were delayed ror the duration. Iist week, however, the rivers and harbors committee of the house reported out a bill. Ore gon Is represented on this com fy existing project to the-extent of providing a channel 13 feet deep at mean low water from sea to one mile above Coqtillle river lighthouse, and for snag ging to the stale highway bridge at Coqullle.

Several large contro versial projects (Including the Florida ship canal, tor example) were originally Included in the lilll, hut these have been elimi nated. It seems likely, therefore, that the bill Just reported will have favorable action by both hoitM' and senate.

Add one Item to the discussion of the soldier vote bill contained In niv letter last week: The presi dent sent a special message to congress on the subject. He DE MANDS the passage of the Green Lucas ' (or Worley) federal stream lined ballot plan, calls the committee bill a fraud, and prac tically calls those w ho oppose the streamlined, bob-tatted plan tral tors. it seems to me the president is a bit .over-anxious for the passage ot the federal control plan. We all want the soldier to vote, but 1 think II will be far better to provide a full and complete bal lot with names on it than a bal lot for only three offices presi dent, senator and representative -with no names on 1L 1 think it will lie far better to provide the ballot in an orderly and con stitutional way than to attempt to provide any kind of ballot in a legally doubt fill manner. The committee bill which the a fraud would pave the way lor a complete oat lot for soldiers to be provided by (he States on a constitutionally sound basis. The Issue will probably oe de cided this coming week although action has hern delayed by the administration until as much tiii'am- n tMtsaihlc nnilil ho hiv plied-and the pressure for the federal ballot plan has been FLLN I V- and coffee will follow the busi ness meeting.
