J. Gcddes. McFarland, arrested hy city police, waived a preliminary ' hearing and his ball was set at $2,500. He was Jailed In default. According to Chief of Police Calvin .

He pointed out local residents are paying twice as much for power rates as users in Eugene. "Until you can get power rates comparable to other cities in Or egon, no new industries will set tle here," Flegel warned. He cited the Columbia Valley administration as the r.nswer to Douglas county's power short age. He pointed to both the Bonneville and Grand Coulee dams as concrete proof that cheap power would be available. According to Flegel, public power builds large enough facili ties to attract business, while private- power . doesn't expand lis facilities until a demand is cre ated. Under CVA, Flegel said, when land Is taken off the tax rolls, the administrators are required to appropriate funds to make up the loss. However, Flegel added, low Bonneville power has attract ed "In the neighborhood of $300, 000,000 in taxable values due to the influx of new business at tracted by the low rates." Flegel declared the sr.me peo ple who fought the Bonneville and Coulee dams are now fight ing CVA. He declared CVA would pass In the next session of congress. -INSURANCE-AUTO LIFE AUTO .

Retrieved Eggs Pose Problem For Police What to do with 40 dozen eggs was bothering the police dep rt ment today. The eggs were "ammunition" taken from a car of Halloween pranksters last nieht, said Chief Calvin Baird. The eggs were be ing used to throw at cars, until the officers put an end to the play. In general, things were very orderly in town, aside from the usual minor pranks. Mo damage to any extent was reported. The Neewollah parade occupied the attention of the youngsters in the early part of the evening, and "trick or treating" was much in evidence throughout town. Extra police patrolled tne city. One drunken driver and one "drunk" were cited into court. State police reported nothing unusual, but. the postofflce re ported many rural mail boxes knocked over. Pro-Red Rebellion Hits ? Convention Of CIO (Continued from Page One) To Visit Chapter Mrs. Mag dalena BullerNorth Bend, new state department president of Gold Star Mothers, will be a speaker at the Roseburg chap ter, American Gold Star Moth ers Inc., meeting to be held Fri day, Nov. 4, at 2 o'clock at the armory.

' Fitzgerald said that at a meet ing with Murray and other CIO leaders on Sunday, the U. E. was given "plainly to understand that the main business of the CIO con vention would be a Red baiting spree for the gratification of the anti-labor commercial press and the politicians to whom the CIO now subordinates itself." 'This can benefit no one but the employers," Fitzgerald said. "It is CIO policy to fritter away the organized strength of the working people and to whip them Into a political lineup," Fitzgerald said in a statement distributed at a news conference. "It is CIO policy to trade off tne power ot tne wonting people to fight for their demands in ex change for dubious and meager favors from the politicians. "A perfect case in point is the action of the administration board of inquiry for the steel In dustry, wnicn saDotagea tne wage negotiations of every union in 1949 and left the workers of the steel Industry with the job of striking to obtain even the mea ger award accorded them. "The U. E. repudiates the policy of begging for favors from poli ticians as a substitute for organ Hng the people to fight for their own Interests." "Since the CIO was organized, the U. E. has paid two and three Quarters million dollars into the CIO" Fitzgerald continued. "Dues money by tne worKers oi our Industry has been handed over by CIO leadership to finance the am bitions oi repudiated men wnom those very workers have re jected for national office, for dis trict office and In many cases for office within their own locals. "Dues money paid by the mem bership of U. E. has been used by CIO leadership to help raid U. E., to disrupt U. E. and to defeat the expressed will of the U. E. membership." Fitzgerald said that the dues would be withheld "until such time as the CIO returns to the principals of free, democratic, in dustrial unionism." The action came as the CIO set up machinery for firing pro- communist onicers ana unions as nart of its purge program. The CIO convention also paved the way for boosting the per capita tax on tne 4,000,000 to 000,000 members of the CIO from The Weather U. S. Weather Bureau Office .'

That would help make up fi nancial loss if the three to a dozen left-wing unions facing re moval aciuany are tossed out at this week's convention. CIO president PhiliD Murray left little doubt that was his intention at the convention's opening session yesterday. He said the CIO would "cleanse" Itself at this convention of left wing elements adheritg to com munist policy. The big fight over ouster couid erupt today or tomorrow on the convention floor. The constitu tional changes recommended by a committee headed by Frank Rosenblum of the Amalgamated Workers would be enough to stir the left-wing leaders. hem's terms was a minimum $100 monthly pension for all employe! with 25 years service reaching the age of 65 or over. Those with 20 years will receive $85. After 15 years, $65. Some, said Murray, will receive as much as $250 a monthr With the exception of employee payments fo federal social secu rity, the company will pay all about nine cents per worker hourly--of the pension costs. Un like the other steel firms, Bethle hem has been financing a pension system for 20 years but at a lowe rate providing for artfund $50 ay month. ' .On social insurance death, sickness, accidents, hospitalization employes put 21 cents an hour into a fund and the company matches it. Employes had been paying all social insurance costs in the past but the exact figure was not announced. Differs From Board's Plan This type or agreement made comparison with the President's steel fact finding board's recom mendations for a settlement diffi cult. The board's cost estimate was three cents lower on pensions. It had figured about six cents an hour. But the benefits were the same: $100 minimum. Bethelhem's five cenls an hour on Insurance cost contrasted with the board's recommendatidh of four cents. One difference is that the take home pay will be slightly less because, of the contributory fea ture of Bethlehem's new insur ance program. Under the board's program, the company would pay for every thing, leaving pay checks intact. Pensions paid under the Dlan are reduced by amounts payable under the federal social security act. The agreement, subject to ap proval by the firm's stockholders, is extended to Dec. 31, with a re onenlng on waee rates on Dec. 31, 1950. Other Accords Expected The government officials said that now that a break has come in the steel strike, definite peace moves may be expected in coal because of the close relations of the two basic industries. "We broke the line, Murray exulted. "From here on we move with firmness of purpose and a determination that victory will attend our efforts." The reaction was swift Govern ment Mediation Chief Cyrus S. Ching said he trusted "this sefc tlement will lead to Industrial peace in the steel industry gen e -ally, at n very early date." U. S. Steel Corp., the biggest steel producer, which has been holding out for workers paying part of pension costs, invited talks wftli Murray's union U. S. Steel's president, Eenjamln F. Falrless, said "of course we will study tne Bethlehem settlement." Officials expected Jones & Laughlin Steel Corp. and the Alu minum Company of America may be among the first strike-bound firms to seek settlement terms after Bethlehem. A new steel strike started shortly after Murray sent out or ders for Bethlehem's 80,000 work ers to return to their Jobs. The new walkout was at the Alle- gheny-Ludlum Steel Corp., where 12,500 of Murray's men quit as negotiations collapsed. Government mediators' were considering issuing an invitation to bring coal peace talks to Wash- i n g t o n. Negotiations between John L. Lewis' striking miners union and southern coal operators were to resume today at Bluefield, W. Va. Senator Taft (R.-Ohio) said at Cincinnati that it is now Presi dent Truman's duty to use the Taft-Hartley act court Injunction powers to end the coal strike.
