Carolitte Howard, Jane Buskett Are Longshore Demands Justified? \ BOUT throe interesting; observations can be made on the impending; longshore strike on the Pacific coast. That it is impending no one any longer doubts. October 15 is expected to open the bloodiest strike in coast history, one in which both sides will be staging a finish fight. A first interesting observation is that the dock workers will be struggling for exactly the same thing that provoked the 1934 strike. A second interesting observation is that the waterfront employers are set for the strike with millions of dollars which will be posted into the bitterest anti-union fight we of the west coast have ever seen. The employers began building their war chest the very day the 1934 strike was settled, with the avowed intention of placing the maritime unions back into subjection at the con clusion of the agreement reached at that time. Today tear gas, riot guns, trained thugs, and expert labor spies are in readiness for the coming war. 'T'HR third observation, crux of the crisis, is an analysis of just what Is behind the whole situ ation. That in turn reminds one that labor in this case wants two things. First, it wants 100% unionization, or the closed shop. Only this can make organized labor truly effective, it is argued. The one practical way to assure closed shop in the dock workers’ ranks is through union-con trolled hiring halls, where only union men can be hired to lay a hand on cargo. So, secondly, it wants union hiring halls. This was what the last strike mainly sought, and today it is what the maritime unions insist upon in the proposed new agreement, and, of course, is what the employers refuse. It would be well to remember, as reports of bloody rioting, employer terrorism, and tear gas barrages come to us from day to day, that labor socks this one thing. We may judge whether we are “for or agin’ " by asking ourselves if this one demand of labor is justified. Aims of Oregon Liberty League Listed To the students of the University of Oregon: In order to acquaint the members of the student body with the real issue at stake in the initiative to abolish required military training in state-owned institutions there has been formed on this campus an organization which will be known as the Oregon Liberty league. o The Oregon Liberty league is primarily devoted to the fostering and perpetuation of peace. The league is not concerned with national political ' issues in this campaign. The league will support actively the campaign against optional military training on the grounds that military training is the surest education for peace. It will be the purpose of the league to demon-1 strate to th/e three thousand students of the Uni versity of Oregon and to the voters throughout the state that knowledge, not ignorance and blind I faith, is the surest road to peace. It is the earnest hope of the league to demon strate once and for all that a well-organized ma jority can, regardless of its characteristic inertia, meet and defeat a compact minority. This in the past has rarely been done. Yet the league is opti mistic. The league will not solicit any particular group. The league is not interested in contemporary jar gon: middle class, proletariat, aristocracy, etc. The league humbly begs the opposition to take note. The league will welcome all classes. The league appeals only to humanity and to those interested in achieving peace, not a peace achieved tem porarily by sentimental and emotional tactics but a peace firmly entrenched in the American mind, not heart. By clear, cold reasoning peace can be achieved. And it can only be achieved by a united front of all classes. Peace can never be achieved as long as the struggle for it is signified by a glorification, a near deification, of one class and its ideals. Peace must be achieved by the majority. Peace must be achieved by sane, rational logic. Temporary committee of the Oregon Liberty league, Robert Prescott Ed Elfving Don Thomas The Emerald Just Can’t Wait 'T'HE political machines that have been idling ■*- along since early last summer are now being thrust into high gear. In whirring crescendo they grind out the promises and denials, the. charges and counter-charges that political tradition de mands. As for the candidates, they are caught in their own Frankenstein's creation; they are shackled to their roaring machines. And the conscientious voter, consumer of their tumbling grist, who once probed distractedly among its mounting piles, has long since despaired and returned to the convictions he formed in the early days of the campaign, when cool, unhurried evaluations were possible. In the minds of 120 million people the outcome of the campaign is already decided, but the candi dates must talk wearily on. Like Malcolm Camp bell, they cannot stop dead after finishing their “measured mile.” people ? Like hundreds of other newspapers the country over the Emerald can’t wait. Im paiietln we want to know what determination our readers have reached, so tomorrow we are going to conduct a straw vote—yes, one of those in famous straw votes that have been damned so heartily.

Two University of Iowa collegians announce their invention of a device to snare the morning paper without getting out of bed, They are now perfecting a "window-closer-upper” and a “steam turner-onner" for lazy stay-abeds. We wish they’d now turn their ingenuity to the invention of a robot to attend eight o'clock classes. An Illinois pastor last Sunday told his congre gation that the “world’s worst sin" is the “abuse ot high privilege.’’ Then perhaps the man caught setting forest fires down on the coast the other day is only the world's second worst sinner.

I am stuck because I don’t know any more about tomor row’s radio programs than do the brush apes who read this thing— and possibly less. I don’t even have figures to amuse you. And when t say figures, I don't mean the kind that climb into bathing suits and stuff. But let's talk about what I do know or what I'm reasonably cer tain of, anyway. First, Frederick "Twinkle Toes” Astaire will burst forth as a budding Paderiski this p.m. over KGW at 6:30 by banging out "I’m Euilding Up to an Awful Let-Down” on the studio Steinway. Second, Mattingly—the managing editor has a cat with ten tails. He explains it thusly: "My cat has anyway one tail. No cat has nine tails. But my cat has one more tail than no cat. Therefore,” tri umphantly, “my cat has ten tails!” And then this so-awful squib from Jack Benny’s ballyhooer: Kenny Baker, it would seem, was so glad to be back on the air that his enthusiasm almost destroyed his valuable timidity. Says Come dian Benny, “You’re fired!” Kenny turns pale, and Benny laughs, ha, ha. "That’s better,” says he. "I like you scared.” Buh, Buh, Bing Crosby comes in from Hawaii next Thursday night to take over the cheese company's music hail ... oh, dairy me! . . . the Emerald of the Air is being dry cleaned ... it goes on for a half hour program on Monday and Wed nesday nights from 8 to 8:30 in stead of five fifteen-minute pro grams a week. Today we’re all apologetic about this thing. Tomorrow it probably won’t even be in. And if it is, “Brain" Colvig will label it "What the Little Waves Are Say ing”—his midnight inspiration. Comes now Mattingly: "I have no cat. I repudiate everything. Any way, nobody could keep food on the hoof where I live long enough for it to grow even one tail.” Send the Emerald to your friends.

Fall Enrollment Figures Given For Entire State A total of 7,995 students, repre senting an increase of eight per cent over a corresponding date last year, is enrolled in the state sys tem of higher education, according to figures released October 10. Although fall term registration is yet incomplete, the total up to last Friday exceeded the peak en rollment of 7967 reached in 1928. The figures this year represent an increase of 45 per cent over those of 1933. The enrollments at the several institutions up to October 9 are as follows: University, 2870; state col lege, 3716; Oregon normal, 474; Southern Oregon normal, 273; Eastern Oregon normal, 213; and medical school, 449. The enrollment of 4896 students in the two lower classes at the University and State College ex ceeds by 800 the entire four classes for the two institutions in 1933. There are 965 freshmen at the Uni versity and 1444 enrolled at the State College. In the various divisions at the University, physical education showed the greatest increase with journalism and business adminis tration tying for second place. Visser ’T Hooft (Continued from page one) night, emphasized the difficulties of international relationships and their connections in regard to the peace of the world. Students will find Dr. ’T Hooft an interesting speaker because of his own interest in this question of vital importance. His views are re ported to be scholarly, conclusive, and enlightening. Hop’s SKIPS & JUMPS Yesterday I walked up to that window and whipped off a check 'or fifty-six fifty without batting in eye. I’ve always been one to be i savings account person till I got into the clutches of that bank man down town. He persuaded me that it was really the goods to dash off a quick check now and then. “Gives that feeling of self-suffi ciency,” he told me. So I fell for it that’s how it all began. All I can say is, this check writing isn’t what it’s cracked up to be. Greatly overrated, like Joe Louis, I say. * * One time in the barber’s chair I had to listen to the man go into a song about the modern girl. There’s not much a guy can do in a barber’s chair—after all, he has the razor. Anyhoo, he was talk ing about some witch he had visit ing with him. “And all she wanted to do was sit around on her over stuffed chair and smoke cigarettes all day,” he harangued. Now the question is, how close was he. There are, I’m forced to admit, a lot of girls shown the door from colleges all over the coun try who really aren’t worth a hoot, in an undertone. I’m not offering any remedy, It’s okay with me. But what good are they all, when you come right down to brass filberts.
