Dean Morse Named Labor Board Head Dispute Settlement Brings Permanent Chairmanship of Arbitration Board Following his successful settle ment of the labor dispute between the Ferrymen’s union of the Pa cific Columbia river division and their employers last Saturday, both parties to the controversy agreed to make Dean Wayne L. Morse permanent chairman of their arbitration board. The law school dean’s final award which he read to the board at Portland and on which their agreement will be based provided: 1. A 12 per cent increase in wages retroactive June 6, 1935. 2. An 8-hour day for shore re lief crews. 3. Refusal of an 8-hour day for boat crews. 4. A total reduction of the number of labor hours a month from 260 to 240 hours. Favors Arbitration “I am happy to know that both the employers and the union have agreed to accept my award,” Dean Morse said yesterday. “I think they are to be complimented in agreeing to settle their controver sies by way of collective bargain ing and arbitration. In my opin ion arbitration is one of the es sentials to the solution of the American labor problem. "Throughout the hearings I made clear to both sides that my award would not be based upon any principle of compromise but would be decided according to the merits of the evidence as I saw it. Too frequently arbitration Honored Again Dean Wayne I.. Morse, of the law school, was honored again dur ing ihe past week when he was appointed permanent chairman of a Portland labor aribtration board following successful settling of a strike there. I_ hearings are not judicial proceed ings and I think it is important that both labor and capital coma to recognize that arbitration will fail if it is conducted upon tne basis of trading rather than con trol by judicial processes.” Workers Reject Award The Puget Sound district is tied up at present because the Seattle workers and employers rejected the award of the chairman of their administration board, Wil liam A. Gaines, county commis sioner of Kings county, Washing ton. In his award he directly op posed Dean Morse’s view regard ing the relation of the revenues of the company to the wage scale. He also differed markedly con cerning the 8-liour day issue. Professor Zone Enjoys Vacation at Lake Aneroid “A veritable hunting ground for photographers and painters," said Professor N. B. Zane in reference to Lake Aneroid where he spent a month vacationing during the summer. Professor Zane, who is an in structor in the art school, des cribed the six and a half mile trip by rail from Wallowa lake to Lake Aneroid as rather arduous but well worth the trouble. Pack mides and horses are used in making the trip to Camp See ber on Lake Aneroid. "Charles Seeber, the proprietor of the camp and an old miner, took the trail up to Lake Aneroid 30 or 40 years ago, a sick man. He was a consumptive, and the doctors had given him but little hope of recov ery. The life Mr. Seeber has led in the mountainous country around Aneroid lake has given him health and strength. "Mr. Seeber himself made the seven log cabins which constitute the camp. The cabins are well equipped with bedding, cooking utensils, and household furnish ings. Mr. Seeber has a store of his own where food and supplies ran be obtained. There is no need of taking anything. "Of course, people usually take the special foods they prefer,” con tinued Professor Zane. “Books, fishing equipment, and camp cloth ing are the things the camper must take along to make himself comfortable.” Professor Zane described Lake Aneroid as being surrounded by high mountain ridges, tall peaks, and beautiful, many-colored flow ers. There are numerous smaller lakes near Lake Aneroid, which is a mile and a half long and 7500 feet above sea level. “The ridges around the lake are 2000 feet or more higher than the lake itself.” said Professor Zane. "It is interesting to sit quietly beside the lake on a moonlit night and watch the deer and other ani mals come down to the water’s edge to drink. There are mountain goats in the hills around the lake, although deer are seen more often than the goats. A whole side of a mountain has been set aside as a reserve for the mountain goats. "Very few people make the trip. Only explorers, campers, and fish ermen who really care for outdoor life are found at Camp Seeber.” Professor Zane. who is a real fisherman, said, "There's is excel lent fishing, and there are all the eastern brook trout you would want to eat. “Trails either for hiking or rid ing are limitless, and the scenery is beautiful.” When Professor Zane was asked how he felt after spending a month away from all the noise and bustle For you—A Greater Oregana. of civilization, he replied, “I felt like having a dish of ice cream and seeing a good movie which I did as soon as I reached Enterprise.” physical education.

Miss Walton, Indexer9 Lists League Functions By MARION FULLER While to many carelessly in formed persons, the League of Nations is a hazy hody function ing somewhere across land and sea, bringing sanctions against nations and occupying the impor tant spot in newspapers, to Miss Pauline Walton, indexer in charge of the League of Nations collec tion of the library, it is a dynam ic body, doing great work in the world, a source of much material to be catalogued. Surrounded by shelves lined with official reports of the work i of the League of Nations, Miss | Walton talked quickly, with as surance about the departments of the league. Committees of the league inves tigate vital questions in the fields of politics, penal administration, legal relations, education, and so cial welfare. Much work has been given to the economic situation, working the economic section out more completely than any other. “Through the work of the so cial welfare division much has been done to stamp out the opium trade between nations,” she said. Slavery, to the casual American long since abolished, is a serious problem to a league committee. The documents presented by Italy and Ethiopia to the league have been received at the library, and present the case of both nations in a clear manner. Slaves are held in Ethiopia. Mussolini cites that as a reason for his invasion. “By reading these documents one is able to get a more unbiased attitude on world issues, than in reading either side alone,” Miss Walton said. Reports of the finance commit tee showed that the League of Na tions, too, is confronted with the problem of financing its activities. “Some of the nations are not paying their dues, in other words,” Miss Walton laughed. Most of the official publications of the league which are issued to the public are to be found in the For you A Greater Oregana.
