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.

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

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,

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

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.
