STANTON Isn't it utrange that a business management which has a long and unbroken record of harmonious relationship with its employes can turn over night into a hideous ogre, con taminating the community and operating an establishment so disgraceful that it should be shunned? Isn't it strange that workmen who have been employed in such a place of business, which denies them "protection," and refuses them their "rights," should be striving so ag gressively to get back K their jobs after having been so abused? Isn't it strange that management is ALWAYS WRONG and the union is ALWAYS RIGHT? We are speaking, of course, of the strike of News-Review composing room workmen, but the same observation could be made for any labor It is strantfe. to us at least, that union spokesmen can expect intelligent people to believe their claims of unjust and unfair treatment when the record of long continuing har mony is given consideration, coupjed with the fact that the workmen disprove their own statements of mistreatment by the very methods they use to their own terms, of course. Statements Are Misleading The Roseburg radio audience has heard several broad casts, reportedly emanating from our striking employes ana showing exceptional skill in the art of sophism. We have no intention of engaging in a public debate concerning our differences with the International Typo graphical union. But some of the misleading statements given the radio audience should be clarified ; such statements as those pertaining to "lockout," "jurisdiction" and "protec tion." Use of the word "lockout" can by no stretch of the imag ination be made to apply to the local situation. The word implies AFFIRMATIVE action on the part of the manage ment, as Webster defines it, "to withhold employment." The News-Review management HAS NOT withheld employment. After local negotiations apparently had been satisfac torily completed, members of the local union notified their higher-ups. Later they received a telephone call and then, after 8 p.m., notified the management they would not report for work the following day. Can this, in any sense, be con strued as withholding employment? What Is Jurisdiction? Then take the word "jurisdiction." Jurisdiction is a matter between unions. A union declares jurisdiction over certain jobs. It organizes workers performing those iobs. It thereby gains the right to represent those workers as their bargaining representative. Jurisdiction is over jobs, not over machines, processes or people. What the union is de manding is CONTROL over machines, processes and people, not jurisdiction over jobs. And then, how about "protection." ' Protection from what? Have the men been threatened with physical or men tal violence? Have they been threatened with loss of jobs or of job security? The News-Review management guaranteed that no workman would be displaced by machines or pro cesses involved in the current dispute. What the union actually means is that it proposes to invade the province of management to direct and control 1 processes and policies pertaining to processes. What else can it mean by the word "protection? Management cannot legally surrender control of a pro cess to a union when the object thereof, so far as the union is concerned, is to deprive employes of the right of free choice of a bargaining representative as guaranteed them by law. Individual Savings Decrease As Buying Hits Faster Pace, Home Mortgage Debt Rises BY SAM DAWSON NEW YORK, .) Businessmen are going back to work with plenty of cheerful news about the economic state of the nation. Mid-year reports streaming in mostly stress fiscal well being and the prospects of its continuance through the rest of the year. Even when the figures aren't good, they a,r al least a little less bad than had been e.pccld. For example, the federal deficit. In the fiscal, year just ended the government spent $3.1 billion more than it took in. Washington con soles itself with the reminder that the deficit is $2.3 billion less than had been forecasted only two months ago. Private business is doing much belter than public. Industry in gen eral had a good first half year. Many companies did much better than they had expected to. Earn ings were up, and corporate fin ances were in an even healthier condition than at the start of the year. Working capital or American in dustry reached a new high at Slid billion on March 31, the Securities and Exchange commission announ ced. Current assets Increased during . the first quarter and current li i abilities declined, the SEC reports, and "corporate liquidity as mea sured by the ratio of cash and government securities to current liabilities continued t o Improve over the quarter." Lata Coat Into Saving. ine ti.c can t say as much for individual liquidity. As far as in dividuals are concerned, SEC nays incy are putting a smaller percent age of their earnings into liquid savings and more of it into homes, . automobiles and other durable goods. By liquid savings SEC means cash and bank deposits, in surance, securities and amounts used to pay off mortgages and other debts. r.r y-r ii.m up m"'i . . Oraia.

But it helps lo explain why this year has looked so prosperous in the trade and production fields. People have been buying lather than saving. Mortgage Dabt Mounts One reason savings slowed down, the SEC implies, is the $1 billion rise in the first three months of this year in mortgage debts. In the same period of 1949 individual mortgage debt increased only $600 million. The jump in niorlcage debt was due, of course, to the boom in home building. The Commerce drnartment and the Labor department's bureau of labor think construction in general will approach a record total of $L'(i billion this year And for a final over-the-hnlidav item, business men hsd the re port of the census bureau that employment in June was up to a 17-month peak of 61.482.000. Most government experts think employ ment will stay high for the next two years. Of course, if the war In nun the Korean border the nreseni mhle total of 3,384,000 would disappear quickly, and war Industries would be aearching for labor. Sometimes a little child in Tilla mook comes in through the doors of the Pioneer museum former ly the old county courthouse and says to Mrs. Lillie Kumm, custo dian: "I've come to look at my grandmother's picture, and my grandfather's" and then, if not her first trip for the purpose, she finds her 'greats' in the rows of jld- fashioned portraits, crayons and photographs, high on the walls around the rooms. Each ancestor it plainly marked. Although 1 bad all to short a time to spare, I found myself look ing up at the rows of faces wrth keenest 'interest. Grouped together, in such a place, it was a fascinat ing picture of days past: dress, hairdos, portraiture . . . what lovely thing to do with those old fashioned pictures. Each day many visitors enter the museum between 10:30 and 5:30. But not until I heard Mrs. Kumm's regretful remark "every state except Delaware and Ver mont ' did I realize how import ant it is to sign one's home-place in visitors' registries! From now on I write my name in every book that Is opened for that purpose.

The Dawn Comes Up Like By KmW S. Martini tries (including Canada which, to save me, I can't think of aa a 'foreign country' England either!' "Last August seventh there were 431 visitors," said Mrs. Kumm proudly. - How much it means to a library and to a museum when the one in charge is animated, and friend ly and very well informed! never could have seen so much that I wanted to see of the "more than 8,000 exhibits" had it not been for the friendly, helpful guid ance of Mr. and Mrs. Kumm. Such interesting little stories, too, as we almost rushed around, regretting each minute was not an hour. We meant it when we promised to 'come back soon' for a look less hurried. Mrs. Kumm has been cus todian for five years - it's plain that her work there is of vital in terest, and adding to the collec tion her great joy. , When I saw what the County of Tillamook had done for the schools, and for all the other visi tors in preserving glimpses of the past in so orderly and delighful fashion, I did wish so very much that other counties might find sim ilar projects within their means.
