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.

Just Can’t Wait
'T'HE political machines that have been idling

thrust into high gear. In whirring crescendo they
grind out the promises and denials, the. charges

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

Because the respective press
igents of NBC, CBS, and the Ern
Brald’s golden-voiced radio ed.,
Paul Plank, failed to function, I
im stuck. 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

But let's talk about what I do
know or what I'm reasonably cer
tain of, anyway. First, Frederick

forth as a budding Paderiski this

out "I’m Euilding Up to an Awful

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

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,

One time in the barber’s chair I

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

offering any remedy, It’s okay

they all, when you come right
down to brass filberts. If they
want to do anything worth
while, (unless they’re newspaper
women) they have to bounce off
to some business college and

To feel good after smoking -
It’s not just the pleasure a fellow gets out of
smoking Lucky Strikes... it’s feeling good after
smoking! Fresh as a daisy. A clean taste in
your mouth. And when you start singing in
your bath—your voice clear as a bell! That’s
the great thing about a light smoke. Lucky
Strikes—being made from the finest center
leaf tobaccos—taste good. And because they’re
a light smoke, you feel good smoking them.
And after smoking them, too!
A LIGHT SMOKE
LEAVES A
CLEAN TASTE
A clean taste—a clear
throat—what a joy
when you wake up in
the morning! You'll be
thankful that last eve
ning you chose a light
smoke—Luckies.

From a veterans’ home in Legion, Texas,
a number of entries all in the same hand
writing come in each week. Of course
we checked up to make sure that the
entries conformed to the rules, and one
of the men explained: "Most of the boys
can't get around—but I do and so 1 fill
out their cards for them.”
We re glad to say that the boys have
been pretty good pickers, too.
Have you entered yet? Have you won
your delicious Lucky Strikes? Tune in
"Your Hit Parade” —Wednesday and
Saturday evenings. Listen, judge, and
compare the tunes —then try Your
Lucky Strike "Sweepstakes.” And if
you're not already smoking Luckies, buy
a pack today and try them, too. Maybe
you’ve been missing something. You’ll
appreciate the advantages of Luckies—a
