IN Essen (center of the German
I coal-steel industry) 4,000 Ger
man coal miners strike In pro
test against short food rations.
The strike is accomnied by
much angry demonstrating.
This strike of German coal min
ers shows us plainly what hungry
people will do. The strikers know
they could all be shot down. They
aren't free workers in a free de
mocracy. They are CONQUERED
ENEMIES. Their lives are in
pawn.
But they are so desperate with
hunger that they don't care.
rHAT has happened over and
over In the world. When peo
ple get just so hungry and hope
less, they don't care much what
happens to them. They feel that
. their situation Is so bad that it
couldn't get much worse.
Hunger is the result of LACK
OK PRODUCTION of food. Cold
(meaning cold peoplel results
from lack of production of luel
and shelter and clothing.
In this modern world, lack of
prodtictlun of things upsets near
ly everything. Until we get back
to something like full production,
there will be nothing but grief
and trouble on every side.
,
ENGLAND'S cold and hungry
people (cold and hungry be
cause of lack of sufficient produc
tion of things) get a great thrill.

English spring in recent memory.
Caughoo, a long-shot Irish horse,

it was an especial thrill for the
few who held tickets on the win
ner. Each two-shilling (10 cent)
ticket on Caughoo paid 88901

PROOF BY EXPERIENCE
By CHARLES V. STANTON
i The Umpqua Kiver fish bill apparently has hurdled the
last difficult obstacle and i.s on its way to the. Governor for
his official approval.
We believe this measure will prove one of the most im
portant acts of the current session of the state legislature,
insofar as legislative action affecte the Umpqua valley ex
clusively.
It is our opinion that development of the Umqua River
as a recreational resource will bring millions of dollars an
nually into the area to benefit everyone. We cannot expect
immediate realization of this condition, as it will be neces
sary to Rpend from 10 to 20 years rehabilitating the stream,
overcoming destruction resulting from over-intensity of
fishing, as well as numerous other causes of the decline in
fish life. Hut if we are successful in conservation efforts,
the Umpqua River can become one of our most important
sources of revenue.
In the last stage of the legislative battle the Reedsport
Chamber of Commerce telegraphed its opposition to every
state representative. We recall how in 19:i5 the communities
of Gold Beach and Wedderburn fought bitterly against
closure of the Rogue Kiver to commercial fishing. But only
two years ago, when a move to reopen the Rogue to net
fishing was rumored, the Chamber of Commerce represent
ing those two communities, both of which grew and pros
pered immediately as a result of the river closure, printed
and distributed pamphlets, letters and varied literature and
organized a vigorous lobby to prevent reopening the river
to nets.
We believe our good friends at Reedsport will benefit as
did residents of Gold Beach and Wedderburn and that when
the Umpqua closure ends January 1, 19?,, the Reedsport
community will be the strongest opponent to any effort to
restore commercial fishing.
We are not at all worried by the six-year limitation on
the Umpqua bill, for we believe that during the coming .six
years the State of Oregon will become sufficiently aware
of the value of its recreational fishery resource to prevent
reactionary legislation with regard to the Umpqua.
Passage of the Umpqua River bill was not accomplished
easily. Members of the Douglas County delegation in the
state legislature deserve the greatest credit for an outstand
ing example of teamwork and brilliant, aggressive labor.
Senator Thomas Parkinson achieved a legislative rarity
when, by dint of his personal "missionary" work among
members of the upper house, he secured a UNANIMOUS
vote. It is seldom that ANY measure parses with a unani
mous vote and it is especially unusual to secure such record
support for a bill with the controversial potentials of the
Umpqua River closure.
Representative Carl Hill led the battle In the House w here
desperate efforts were made by the opiisition to beat the
measure. Officers of fishermen's Ialor unions maintained a
hard-working lobby. Commercial fishing interest and repre
sentatives of the State Fish Commission opposed the bill
in committee hearings. Lacking from the opposition forces,
however, was the cannery organization, which heretofore
has taken an active part against any fish conservation
program.
Every trick and deceit of legislative procedure was used
to delay and beat tl)e bill, but all were met and overcome by

lase, at Alntree, run in the rain I colleagues, and Representative Robert Gilo, w ho, while bear
ing one of the most exhausting Jobs in the legislature as chair
man of the committee on Assessment and Taxation, never
theless took much time to help push the Umpqua River bill
through the House.
Wo arc assuming that the Senate will approve minor
amendments passed in the House and that the Governor
will sign the bill. If these remaining hurdles arc negotiated,
we predict that experience of the next -0 years, providing
we succeed in keeping the river closed to net fi.shing for
salmon and steelhead, will prove, through millions of dollars
of revenue, the value of the prolonged legislative battle and
the wisdom of legislative decision.

basketball will be played
tonight at H o'clock at Koseburg

day's erroneous announcement
that Ihe high school faculty
would square off with Douglas
County's Posse last night.
According to Mel Ingrain,
spokesman for the teachers' quin
tet, a capacity crowd is antici
pated for tonight's basketball fun
fest. due to Ihe great turnout last
night on the misinformation ol a
sportwritcr. With slanderous ac
cusations. Ingram rejiorts the
faculty is more teeed up for to
night's fray than ever and are
out to "really ride herd on the
Sheriff's cowhands."
Actually the Sheriff's Posse, led
by Si Diilard. have much more
to lose in the game's outcome.
Sheriff O. T. Carter stated last
week that a loss for the posse
means they lead their horse and
walk In their big annual rodeo
parade June 21.
Coach Homer Grow, busily
mentoring the teachers in the art
of balancing their equilibrium on
a makeshift home-made donkey,
yesterday simply stated "We're
ready lor those mule-skinners."
