2 Men Jailed In
Delinquency Case
Kenneth Lewis McFarland, 20,
Melrose route, charRed with con
tributing to the delinquency of a
minor female child, was bound
over to the grand Jury upon
arraignment Monday In Justice
court, reported Justice of Peace
A. 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 . Baird, McFarland and
Frances Joe Evans, 23, of Ten
mile are accused In the case
Involving 13 and 15-year-old girls.
They allegedly picked up the girls
one in Roseburg and one near
Winchester, and after attending
a dance at Tenmile drove on to
Crescent City, Calif., before re
turning here. -Evans

ing Friday on the delinquency

providing better service to local
shippers. 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.

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

ing used to throw at cars, until

play.

orderly in town, aside from the
usual minor pranks. Mo damage

Neewollah parade occupied the
attention of the youngsters in the

unusual, but. the postofflce re
ported many rural mail boxes

Convention Of CIO

state department president of
Gold Star Mothers, will be a
speaker at the Roseburg chap
ter, American Gold Star Moth

day, Nov. 4, at 2 o'clock at the

holding the per capita tax to the
CIO.
' 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

That would help make up fi

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.

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
