People Determined To
See Rod & Gun Club’s
Theatre Party, May 13
People who were disappointed
recently at the first showing of
Chetco Rod & Gun Club’s Thea
tre Party will not be denied this
time—if early purchase of tickets
may be taken as an indication.
Some 200-odd tickets for the
Crescent City showing, w'ere re
served for sale in Brookings, and
last Saturday these were selling
like hot dogs at a carnival, the
Pilot was told.
The Mecca Theatre, seating
about 625, will be full and many
will be turned away, if they take
Brookings’ word for it. Almost
as many were turned away here
as the Pine Cone could seat. It
is expected that many will be
too late if they w’ait for tickets
until the last minute.
Many acts have been aded, it
wras revealed here, to the Cres
cent City showing. These num
bers, like the management w'ants
it, will remain a mystery, for all
local people will want to have
।
a surprise.

LABOR LEGISLATION ACTION MAKES
TEMPERS SHORT IN WASHINGTON
SAYS OREGON'S CONG. ELLSWORTH
Brief History of Taft-Hartley Bill Reviewed
By Ellsworth To Explain Present Legislative
Debates Delaying Repeal Of “The Law”
By Harris Ellsworth, M. C.
WASHINGTON — As this is
written, the house has already
devoted a week to the discussion
of modification or repeal of the
Taft-Hartley law'. It has been a
heated discussion. Only one im
portant thing seems reasonably
clear—what the house does is in
no sense final. This legislation
w’ill be discussed and acted upon
by the senate and, following that,
a conference will actually write
the final version.
/
The house debate and the pres
sure put on by the labor lobby,
and I do mean pressure, has gen
erated a gerat deal of heat about
Capitol hill, but not so very much
light. Countless angry and often
reckless statements have been
made many of them without
even a shade of accuracy. Par
ticularly has the history of the
bill and the attitude of Repub
lican members of the house been
misrepresented and distorted.
I shall endeavor to give brief
history of the legislation to date.
W!hen the session opened, we were
forced with an overwhelming op
position majority in the house.
It was obviously impossible to
put forth any Republican pro
gram for some amendments to
the Taft-Hartley law. If was nev
er claimed the law' was perfect,
and after nearly two years ex
perience with it, it was recog
nized that some changes should
be made. The chairman of the
house committee, however, intro
duced a bill for the complete re
peal of the law which had the
backing of the administration.
The only other bill hearing the
name of a Democrat was intro
duced by Rep. Wood. In a gen
eral way, this bill represented
the views of most Republicans,
but required certain broadening
amendments. Accordingly. Mr.
McConnell, ranking Republican
member, requested the commit
tee to consider thn Wood bill
with certain amendments which
he offered. The committee per
mitted an explanation of the bill
and amendments and then laid it
aside whereupon the administra
tion bill was immediately report
ed out.
Then, the Republicans of the
house called a meeting of the
policy committee (this meeting
has been heralded as a secret
meeting but there certainly was
nothing secretive about it except
that Democrats and the public
were invited we hold similar
policy committee meetings on all
important bills). As a member of
the policy committee T was pres
ent. Wo discussed the Wood hill
line by line. The judgment of th^
nolicy committee was that cer
tain amendments should be of
fered to make it a better bill.
Those amendments w’ere discuss
ed w’ith other members of the
house.
When consideration of the ad
ministration bill began on thrt
door, the Wood bill, incorporat
ing many of the Republican-ap
proved amendments, was offered
as a substitute. Tn addition, a
number of improving amendments
were offered on the floor. Under i
house procedure, the Wood bill
was completed and acted upon
first.
There has been nothing secre
tive or indefinite regarding the
attitude of Republican members
of the house, nor has the general
attitude of house Republicans
regarding labor legislation under
gone any material change since
the Taft-Hartley law was en
acted. We said at that time we
were trying to enact legislation
completely fair to both labor and
management.
It was not claimed to be a per
fect law. We said then and later,
and particularly during tht* 1948
election campaign, that we fig
ured the basic principles of the
law were sound and that we’d
endeavor to pass such amend
ments as experience proved to
been necessary. The position and
policy of the Republican side of
the house has been clear, straight
forward and consistent.
Every
Republican member has had full
and free opportunity to make
suggesstions for improving the
law. and all such suggestions
have had conisderation. As Con
gressman Chas. Hallock of In
diana said in debatí* Friday, “Af
ter all, \ve are here as men and
w'omen representing constituen
cies of upwards of a quarter mil
lion people each. Every one of
us has a responsibility to those
people and to our conscience to
try to w’rite good legislation."
That is the spirit which has mo
tivated our side of the aisle.
Mr. and Mrs. Funk
First Prize Winners
Mr. and Mrs. Qeorge Funk,
for the third time in succession,
came away from the Oakland
Flower Show' with first prize and
money, they report upon their
return the first of the week.
The Funk display, different at
this year’s show, was built to de
pict a lily farm, on the banks of
a creek, any creek that would
be representative of Curry coun
ty, Oregon. About this display of
490 square feet, Mr. Funk took
some moss-covered pickets from
a fence on the White place, and
plenty of moss to show the scen
ery as it actually exists.
In telling of their display, Mr.
Funk told the Pilot that he had
a much better spot this year, and
that his display, by its uniqueness
attracted more people, he be
lieved. “There were 21,000 more
people present at the 1949 show
than the highest record of any
previous attendance.”
The Funks have a number of
pictures of their display, which
they are proudly exhibiting to all
interested people.
Mrs. Dorothy Lockland, who
visited the show in order to gain
ideas for the forthcoming Azalea
Festival Hower show', told the Pi
lot that Bro,,kings was given a
boost that money could not buy.
“The show was actually out of
this w’orld,” seemed to be her
best descriptive words.
