NEWS-REVIEW, ROSEBURG, OREGON FRIDAY, OCTOBER 8, 1948 THREE Eugene Stirred By Highway Threat To Lumbering EUGENE, Ore.. Oct. 8 (.TV To the threat of curtailed log hauling and lumbering In the winter months, the Forestrv Com mittee of the Eugene Chamber of Commerce came up with a threat to a major highway recon struction program. Concerted action toward the goal will be urged by member! of the committee when they attend a mass meeting Oct. 14 at the Mc Kenzie High School at Blue River. The interim report of the State Legislature's Highway Commit tee shows that Oregon has fallen far behind its growth needs in highway construction, the group said, and would require at least $47,000,000 a year lor the state system alone for ten years to rebuild to modern heavy duty standards. Against this need, the state has only $14,000,000 avail able a year for construction, in cluding federal aid and forest funds. "Most serious result of this de ficiency of funds is that our main tenance costs have Jumped from $6,000,000 a year to $8,000,000 in the last two years," said H. R. Baldock, chief hig' way engineer for Oregon. "In other words" he said, "we are getting poorer every minute because the old roadbeds can't be rebuilt and meanwhile cost so much to keep in essential repair." Baldock pointed out as an ex ample the Siuslaw Highway be tween Cheshire and Swisshome. Forty miles of the road broke up last June. "It cost us more than $75,000 lust to patch up the Siu slaw and we can't even promise the patches will hold," the en gineer reported. The closing down threat In cludes the McKenzie Highway, the Siuslaw, the AlseaDeadwood secondary, the Coast Tlighwav, and the West 11th secondary in the Eugene area. H. J. Cox, chairman of the chamber groups, said that on the McKenzie Highway alone there are now 34 logging ouerations, with 504 men in the woods, and more than 10,000 In the dependent mills. These operations annually produce 239,000,000 board feet of jnmher. LOCAL NEWS Reported III Bert Corkrum of Corkrum Motors is reported to be ill at his home in Laurel wood. Her On Business J. E.

CIO Picket Lines At Issue in AFL Working Policy (By The Aaaoctatfrd PrMl Whether Tacoma's AKL long shoremen will continue to re spect picket lines of striking CO Maritime Unions may be decided today at a Seattle meet ing of the AFL Marine Trades Council. The group was to restudy the Tacoma policy which has been to work only normal cargo dur ing the strike. Tacoma longshoremen halted unloading of the Norwegian freighter Falkanger yesterday when pickets appeared. About 10 per cent of the ship's coffee cargo still was aboard. In other developments, the striking Marine Firemen's Union refused to move two former Alas ka ships to a Columbia River layup, and Seattle waterfront employers charged that the Un ions' recent offer to man Alaska vessels contained a "Joker" clause. James Greathouse, business agent for the Marine Firemen, said the union' would not move the two vessels because it had been "doublecrossed" by the Mar itime Commission in the recent transfer of the refrigerator ship Grommet Reefer. Greathouse said the vessel was supposed to have gone from the Alaska Steamship Company to the layup, but that the Commission had turned it over instead to the Army. The two vessels involved In the latest dispute are the Jumper Hitch and the Reef Knot, both turned back to the Commission by the Alaska Steamship Line. What he called the "Joker" clause was disclosed by Alaska Steamship President Gilbert Skin ner in making public an ex change of letters with Alaska's Uovernor fcrnest omening. Skinner said the governor had proposed that the companies ac cept the Union offer "instead of using Alaskans as hostages." Skinner replied that the Union proposal to sail ships on the same basis as the Nome relief ship meant that "no southbound cargo would be permitted the union to name ports ot call to be serviced each sailing. "Furthermore." he said, "we are unable to use our own ves sels for Alaska service because our fleet is strikebound fully loaded with no provisions for unloading the cargo." "We feel certain that the Alas kans would not want you to turn the governorship of Alaska over to the striking unions. Neither do they want us to turn over to them the operation of our ships." The exchange was disclosed on the same day that a group of Fairbanks businessmen had urg ed that the companies have "no conciliatory negotiations with Communist-dominated unions." The Unions offered Monday, through WllJam Gettings, re gional director, to man the ves sels on the same basis as the relief ships. That agreement pro vided for retroactivity of any age increases or other benefits obtained by the strike. ' Uncle Siir.'; first five cent pieces (minted hi 17341 mc sil ver and contained no nickel.
