By Charles V. Stanton So the International Typographical union is preparing to declare war on the entire community ! The people of Rose burg, who refuse to bow the knee to union dictates, are to be made to suffer for their independence! We don't know, of course, the reaction of the general public to Monday evening's statement, broadcast by a local representative of the ITU, but, for our own part, we're boil ing mad. If the ITU wants a fight with The News-Review, that's O.K. We'll fight! But when the union openly and arrogantly declares its intention to impose its tyranny on a whole com munity, involving every man, woman and child, it's time to find out whether we're mice or men. Perhaps you didn't hear Monday evening's broadcast. In case you didn't, the announcer, wiping away crocodile tears with a velvet glove, hiding brass knuckles, after relating that The News-Review had been placed on the "Do Not Patronize" list by the Central Labor council, and that such action brought all affiliated unions into a common fight against The News-Review said, in part : Wo tro umiwhil taddonod bocauto It wit nocottary to tako tuch drattic action. Being branded unfair li an awful namo for an offender to boar, at wall at hit organization. THIS COULD SNOWBALL INTO A GRAVE SITUATION, one which our town cannot afford to experience at this timo. Fair and athlcal conduct on the part of both labor and management can prevent tuch conditioni. Yet, wa union membert did everything wa could to avoid thit action. Our every effort to negotiate a FAIR contract wat abtoluttly refuted. So now organiiod labor In the Roteburg area bagint Itt fight for III right! and itt VERY EXISTENCE. Thit action meant thai it it the duty of all member! of uniont affiliated with tha Central Labor council, A.F. of L and the membert of the I.W.A., C.I.O., of Roteburg not to patronise Tha News-Review. It it up to tha individual mombert, however, whether or not they with to patroniio butinett concarnt or Individual! who con tinue to advertite In Tha Newt-Review or tupport It. AND THERIN LIES THE DANGER. Wo 12 union prlntert, for whom thii action wai taken, will exerclie rettralnt and be fair, TRUTHFUL, and impartial In all our dealing! In con nection with tha iltuation, in tha hopai It. will not jeopardize OTHER labor-management ralationi In tha Roteburg area. Let's Have The Truth 1 Capitalization in the above-quoted statement is our own. ' We capitalized the word "truthful." We Indeed hope the ITU spokesman will be truthful in the future . So far the ITU has not been truthful. It has lied deliberately lied to the people of the Roseburg area. We could use milder language but we are not in the mood for mild language. Tho TTIT Una whan it mvi If. offerprl The News-Review ; a "fair" contract. The-ITU has offered The News-Review NO contract other than its dictatorial form, in which it proposes to take over management functions as a means of circum- " venting federal law, and imposing uneconomic restrictions upon management and impeding progress by control over ALL new processes. . The ITU lies when it says, as it has repeatedly, that the striking composing room workers had a contract with The Ncws-Revieui until LAST NOVEMBER. The Ncws-R'&view and the ITU have had no written, signed contract since NOVEMBER 1947. . When the Taft-Hartley act made a closed shop illegal, the ITU refused to enter into a contract without the closed shop provision. The contract with The News-Review ex pired in November 1947. Since that time, AT THE RE QUEST OF THE UNION, no NEW contract has been writ ten. The wage scale has been adjusted from time to time. It was verbally agreed that provisions of the old contract, not in conflict with federal law, would be continued as a guide to the relationship between The News-Review and the union. The ITU lies when it says it is fighting for its "very existence." The existence of the ITU has never been threat ened in any action by The News-Review, nor is it threatened now. The Neivs-Review offered to renew the provisions of the old contract, amended to avoid conflict with federal law, fully recognizing the union's right to represent all our composing room employes. It also offered to discontinue the teletype setter process, now in use, but it refused to sign a contract granting CONTROL over that process. The ITU lies when it says the publisher is "playing around with these rich and selfish outside influences who are subsidizing him." The reference is to the publishers' as sociation which is far from being a "rich" organization. 1 The News-Review stands on its own feet and is NOT being subsidized. The ITU, on the other hand, boasts of a $ 16,000,000 "war chest." We could go on and on with the list of lies, misinfor mation, and sophistry of the ITU, but our purpose is not that of entering into an argument. We do not believe it necessary to defend The News-Review. This newspaper's acts, policies and service are well known. The public can judge from the long record of service to the community, our past relations with organized labor, and our participation in civic affairs whether this news paper is an unfair corporation. Tyranny Not To Be Tolerated The purpose of this lengthy and heated column today is to challenge the threat of hullvratrtrinir and tvrannv nosed by the ITU, which in its broadcast Mondav evening, an nounced that the mud, sticks and stones, so far hurled ex clusively at 7 he-News-Revirw are now to be thrown violently in the direction of innocent bystanders. Will the fair-minded people of Rosebure accent without resistance the insinuation that this dispute "rould snowball inio a grave situation : Or the less veiled threat contained in the following statement from Monday's broadcast?: We reallie there are a tmall minority who want to tee labor ground into the dutt, and they will continue to tupport The Newt-Review. All you need to do It look In that paper their ad will be there for all to tee. On the other hand, there will be thote who are tymptthtic to our caute. You won't tee their adt in a nonunion paper. They are the onet who deter-, oi-r anfro arH exr.lmive patronege. "Help thote who help ut" thould be the motto and battle cry of all organiied ' labor in thtt tight for our rightt, and until tha ittua It tettled, Is this a free America, or have we so far deteriorated in our independence that we are to kneel meekly before tyranny and dictatorship? Are fair-minded, honest, intelll- School Discipline Topic At Meet Of Administrators The need for discipline in our schools wa stressed and agreed upon at an administrators' confer ence held in Eugene Thursday, July 12. Senator Thomas Parkinson of Winston, chairman of the state in terim committee on education and chairman of the education com mittee in the senate during the last legislature, attended. Others in attendance were: Dr. Hugh Wood, professor of education at the University of Oregon; Dean Lobaugh, assistant superintendent of Eugene schools; William Tug man, managing editor of the Eu gene Register - Guard; Elizabeth Ducey, Portland, member of the advisory committee on the study of elementary and secondary schools: H, L. Shirvin, president of the Oregon School Board association and chairman of the Harrisburg school board. While it was generally agreed by those present that the need for greater discipline was imperative Ihe educators differed on types. Lack of proper discipline is caus ing many "fine talents to die on the vine," according to Tugman. Schools are a reflection of our community," Lobaugh pointed out. He went on to say that the com munity begins with the home the same point where proper discipline should germinate. Senator Parkinson contended that the first step of discipline was in the hands of parents who should start the youngsters to school at the age of six. "Self-discipline at the age of six is all wrong," he de clared. "There is great need for direction while he is under our control." Locals CASE DISMISSED Judge Carl E.

Blake- By Viakmttt S. Martin Dear me, I'm used to shooing a dozen perfectly friendly cows out of the front yard, so when I saw several head of stock heading for our yawningly welcoming gateway and our roses, I started to shoo them But one of them stopped, stared belligerently at me, and made a queer kind of "you-and-who-else" bellow, pawed a bit and just stared. Just then E. J. came around the house, invited me to go indoors and stay there, and he yelled cor dially at the belligerent one . . . the young bull bellowed right back, and stood his ground, in fact ad vanced hopefully in E J.'s dir ection. E. J. lost his enthusiasm fon whatever plan he had, anrl tossed a handful of gravel across Ihe fence. The gravel didn't please the caller; he talked right back and headed in the gateway, intent upon bringing things to closer quar ters. Along came a jeep then with a young man in . . . the jeep kept right on by. The bull looked after it and snorted and pawed. Back came the jeep weaving a zig-zag, noisy course, making as much noise as a jeep could a not in considerable amount. . The three heifers turned tail and retreated the way they had come. The young bull eyed the jeep, and for a min ute I thought he was going to tackle it. But the jeep roared noisiy and headed at him. The bull stood not upon the order of his going-he just scooted, bellow ing and snorting. And I, who had just rolled a sheet of paper into the typewriter and was wondering what on earth I'd write about this morning . . was glad we had visitors from the south this glorious summer day. I remember one time on a four lane highway near the airport in Long Beach, a woman was peace fully driving her shiny new car south when all of a sudden a ram shot away from a herd of sheep I mean, flock of sheep grazing on open land across the highway, and believe it or not, he rammed Ihe side of that car! I suppose he was ramming the other ram he saw in the shiny surface. Anyhow, what he did to that car was a pityl OUR REPAIR DEPARTMENT In The Day's News .By FRANK JENKINS. is organized to giva you prompt service.

'Meanwhile, other deviltry is a- fool. The Communist Sixth division (which we hopefully thought our planes had chewed up the other day) is apparently preparing to OUTFLANK AND ENCIRCLE us on our left the Commies' Fifth and Fifteenth divisions are engag ed in an operation designed to out flank and encircle us on our right. The purpose is to surround and rapture our entire ground force in South Korea. We don't need to be told what that would mean. You will want to know, of cours'e, if all this means that our men and their officers aren't standing up to their job. The answer is that they ARE standing up to the job heroically. There arc just loo few of them. We were too little and too lale again in Korea just as we have been at the beginning of every war since the Revolution. What's wrong with South Korea? I don't know. I haven't been there. Rut Id like to quote here a man whom I know and for whom I have a lot of rospect. I always seem to value the opinions of men I know above those of men I dont know. I'm referring to Stanley Earl who used to be CIO secretary here in Oregon. Stanley is just back from a year in. Korea, where he served as Marshall plan labor ad viser to the South Korean govern ment. He says in Portland: "The United States never gave South Korea Democratic govern ment, and that proved a fatal mis take . . . The South Koreans had no faith and little interest in their government . , . The invasion by North Koreans was made easy by all this. PLUS GRAFT AND COR RUPTION IN THE- SOUTH KO REAN ARMY." Earl goes on: "The South Koreans were near starvation. They were hit hard by inflation. But, with all this going on, American diplomals continued to talk unrealities with Korean bankers and brass hats. He then adds: "Some of our diplomats are too much above the people. You can't INSTILL DEMOCRACY WITH COCKTAIL PARTIES FOR THE BIG SHOTS and conference with the bankers. Somebody's got to get out and talked to the people of South Korea.
