Oregon needs all of its own water. I
and that the bill would keep Or.,,

Rep. P.ul Geddes, Roseburg, the
house's chief expert on things le
gal, questioned Aether Oregon
had any riht to stop diversion of
water from interstate streams.
He asked Semon if any lawyer,
had checked the bill over.
Semon answered that the law
yers hadn't looked at It, but that
when the bill gets to the Senate,
the legal minds of the upper house
rnuld make it legal.
Some lawyers wonder what
would happen if Congress voted to
divert some Oregon water to Cali
fornia, after the Oregon legislature
banned It.
With only three dissenting votes,
the House supported repeal of the
im law prohibiting white persons
from marrying negroes, jnaians,
Hswaiians or Chinese persona.
The bill was reauested by Ore

The Senate already has voted for

Slankard spoke briefly of the city
hall bond issue. He said there was
some criticism of the $300,000

amount, with the rising cost of
construction. But that was all the
council considered the voters would
go for.
He stressed the need for a new
building to replace the outdated

ago and inadequate,to house the
city's equipment aha offices.

Picketed Because
Crew Unorganized'
Construction work at the Mar
Linn Plywood Co. plant a)t) Win
chester is being picketed by repre
srntatives of the Carpenter, and
Joiners union.
The labor union charges that the
construction work is being done
by unorganized workers; that con
struction labor is imported with
trk denied local laborers.
The protest, say. a repressjjti.
tive of the Carpenters and Joiner.
Local 1961, A.F.L., is aimed strictly
at the Mar-Linn company and not
at the sub-contractor excavating
the pond.
The company, the union charges,
has brought in men who are to be
employed in the mill and has given
them the task of erecting the build
ings, denying work to local labor.
Ivan Vrooman, local superintend-
ent for the plywood company, say.
that future mill employes are work
ing on the construction job, but
that considerable local labor- also
is being used.
"There is no dispute between
the company and its employes,"
said Vrooman. "Representative,
of the labor union have been ad
vised they may contact the labor
ers for purpose of organization
during lunch hour or after work
ing hours. We are not interfering
with the workers, if they desire
to organize and elect a bargaining
agent. We are discouraging organ-
ization attempts during working
hours."
