Legislation Panel
Debates Picketing
Thursday afternoon’s panel on labor-management legislation
broke at one point into a battle over the pros and cons of the

James Marr, secretary of the Oregon state federation of la
bor, quoted Democratic state senator Phil Brady (also present
at the discussion) to the effect that if management wishes to see

The'Idols' Winner
Of Poetry Contest
The Julia Burgess poetry prize
of $25 has been won by Dick Bro
naugh, freshman in liberal arts,
for his poem "The Idols,” P. W.
Souers, head of the English de
partment, has announced.
Judges for the contest were T.
F. Mundle, assistant professor of
English, John Sherwood, assistant
professor of English, and S. N.
Karchmer, instructor in English.
| socialistic control of industry -
| in England, all it has to do is con
tinue the kind of attacks now being1
made against organized labor.
Marr opposed the bill partly ojv
the grounds that legislation won’t
cure the basic cases of conflict.
William Lubersky, attorney, dis
agreed with Marr, expressing tho
view also that present labor leg
islation in the country is not un
duly restrictive. His panel col
league, C. E. Miller, personnel
manager for Birdsye Snyder divi
sion of General Foods, had pre
viously said labor would make
more gains in its program if it
would refrain from abusive attacks
against management.
George Brown, secretary of tho
Oregon state industrial union coun
cil, asserted that the recent law
was really passed to hinder labor
organization, but that its propo
nents repeatedly said their only
purpose was to prohibit organi
zational picketing.
This discussion arose froth a
floor question by Brady.
Brown contended that the state
of Oregon has the best labor-man
agement relations in the country,
and that this law has served to
destroy much of the gains.
In the panel talks, Miller said
that the best attitude management
can take toward labor unions is to
treat them as another business,
treating them with businesslike re
spect.
But, as said, this is difficult
to do when unions call manage
ment “plutocrats” and “profit
pigs” during an election, then ex
pect immediate good feeling
around the bargaining table.
“I haven’t yet met an employer
who didn’t think he was being
fair,” Miller said, “nor have I met
a labor representative who didn’t
feel that his demands were reason
able.
No Paper Monday
There will be no Emerald pub
