ISN'T IT
By CHARLES V. 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.

dispute resulting in a walkout.
try to get back on the jobon
In the first quarter Americans
increased their liquid savings by
about $600 million, but this doesn't
look so impressive when stacked
up against the $1,90(1 million which
thev averaged each quarter i n
1947.
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.

meant it when we promised to
