News 1 STRIKE FACTS By CHARLES V. STANTON Thit column hat been used for news material during recant days, partly because we have been too busy at other jobs to prepare It and partly because by its omission we had more space available to serve our readers with newt. However, people have raised some questions concerning the labor dispute which has resulted in a strike and picketing of tht Newt-Review plant. We believe questioners are entitled to answers and ve are attempting today to furnish some of the Information specifically requested by readert. We ute the question and answer method as the easiest way to respond to queries: O. How long will the strike last? A. We have no way of knowing. Indications are it will last for a long time. P. How many men are Involved? A. Twelve printers are on ttrike, out of a total of 48 em ployes, not including motor route, contract and Little Merchant carrieri and dealers. p. Are other unions involved? A. No. The Newt-Review hat teparata contracts with press men and engravers. Three unions were represented in our opera tion. Only one It on strike. Men affiliated with the other unions are under Instructions from their head offices to remain on the fob. They are handling work in their own departments only. They are. giving no aid or assistance In the department involved In the dispute. P. Are wages or hours in dispute? A. No. Request for wage increase wat granted. The Newt Review hat at all timet paid a scale at high at any newspaper In its area and, for the most part, has paid more than the normal icale outside the metropolitan aree. The wage scale in The News Review shop hat increated from $1.05 per hour, paid prior to the lata war, to $2.15 par hour. An offer of $2.25 per hour wat acceptable to the local union. No higher tcale it paid by any daily newtpaper in Oregon, outtide the Portland district. p. What it the union demanding? A. The union is demanding Jurisdiction over all new pro cesses, particularly the teletypesetter process not only ma chines and operators' but control of the process itself. P. Why doot the union teek jurisdiction? A. Principally to circumvent the Taft-Hartley law. The Taft Hartley law provides that workert shall have a right by . free election to choose their bargaining agent. If the International Typographical Union can gain jurisdiction over PROCESSES it gains representation fights for the operators. The union would thereby be authorized to represent employes without the em ployes themselves having detignated the union to represent them. Management would be in technical violation of law by denying employes the free choice provided by law, p. Does the union now have the right to organiie teletype tetter ooarators? A. Yes. The union could follow lawful procedure and en deavor to recruit "punchers," thus placing operating personnel under their jurisdiction. Employes, however, have the right of free choice of bargaining representative guaranteed them by law Including the right to refuse representation. Management is forbidden, by the Taft-Hartley law from interference with the union's organisation efforts. P. Hes The News-Review been hurt by the ttrike? A. Yet, seriously! not only in actual dollars and centt but also In appearance, content and limitation of ability to give normal service to reedert and advertisers.

Hartial Rural School Budget Loses Again In Marion SALEM, July t (Pi Voters apparently rejected the Marion county rural school budget for a second time last week end, a par tial tabulation of results showed today. With 45 of the 74 school pre cincts reported, the budget was lagging 2074 to 2124. Virtually all of the remaining districts opposed the budget at a previous election May 15. The $1,004,797 measure lost at that time by six votes. The new election was called after voting ir regularities were discoverd. As a result of the famous brass key kite incident in 1752. Benja min Franklin is credited with being the founder of the study of static or atmospheric electricity. It was Estrellita's fault we miss ed the big parade and the Rodeo afterwards last Saturday. Or may be it was our fault for ever lett ing Estrellita catch on to the fact that we were planning to get . new car. Anyway, ever since we almost turned in Estrellita on a newer model, she has been balky. . To be sure she carried us hither and yon, faithfully until then. And even now when sne oaixs sne chooses a place most convenient to us, so she isn't altogether heart less, you see. Maybe it was so much talk about horses and the Sheriff's posse which I was set upon seeing Anyhow Saturday morning Estrel lita Blew a gasket, Dlew it lust enough so we headed her for the servire department' instead of "he Sheriff's posse and the parade. And was I disappointed Between Estrellita and E.J., my comings and goings are slightly erratic. The two of them always deposit me at a newspaper office at deadline time when even the best-managed newspaper is slightly occupied with things more import ant at the moment than visiting with folks who aren't helping things along.- Down in California it didn't mat ter. If I chanced in when every body was busy. 1 was likely to find myself reading copy aluud while someone cnecnea prooi. ur maybe I found a slip of paper in my hand with names: "You can be calling them . . . thus and so . . . and then we'll go get a soda and visit." I miss all that hustle and bustle where I knew every body and either 'helped' or sat in a corner as inconspicuously as possible and browsed through a heap of exchanges. I miss the exchanges, too. It was rather fun to see what pro blems other towns and cities were working on; and how they were going about it. I'd like to live handy to a newspaper again, ore ferablv now to the News-Review, and Roseburg . . . Maybe the rea son I'm a bit 'homesick' today for sound and ink-smell of a news paper is that the one who used to say: "Oh,' do sit down and read this to me: I'm so glad you came In" will nwn iiv that atfain here. The news of her passing has tir 4red up so many memories We Decame sucn guuu menus.

Open - Letter To Our Advertisers These are, indeed, trying times. Our normal operations are hampered somewhat by strike conditions -- and we cannot offer you normal advertising service. We're sorry we have always been proud of the service and assistance we gave to those who use News-Review advertising. At this writing we cannot always see you personally in your store or office, we cannot help conduct your store promotions and campaigns nor be on the spot to offer advertising counsel and merchandising ideas. However, let this thought be impressed in your mind: Do Not Neglect Your Advertising Your customers (and those who aren't) need - and deserve to know what you offer and why you can serve them better. Do not neglect your advertising -- it is the en gine that pulls the train of profits. Take away the engine and you will coast -- for a while. THIS IS WHAT WE CAN DO FOR YOU : 1. Accept and Insert your ads In the paper, with some limitations respecting volume and style. 2. Take orders for advertising by telephone. Just call 100. 3. Accept any amount of ad mats to be used in your advertising. 4. Accept ads containing copy, providing the copy (normally type-set) is not too lengthy nor calls for a large variety of type size. 5. Do our level best for you. THIS !S WHAT WE CANNOT DO . 1. Come to your place of business .... we're working overtime and just can't keep appointments as we normally do. Most advertisers are having their ad our office. 2. Accept late ads. No ads may be accepted later than 1 Vj days prior to desired date of publication. 3. Accept ads containing large amounts of copy calling for exceptional varieties of type faces and sizes. 4. Run proofs. As a matter of fact your advertising dollar buys more now than ever before - the war in Korea, inter national, national and local news all focus attention on the News-Review. Your local newspaper retains its value as a top medium of advertising as always. To our many advertisers who are being so helpful and cooperative- THANKS Thanks from all of us to all of you.
