NO
eVTOU would . deny the non-union
-" men representation on th
committee." says R. Littler, reply-i
ing on this page to a" Journal edi
torial headed "Settle the Strike."
- No. The Journal would do exactly
what the state 'conciliation board,
after hearing the evidence on both
sides, advised. ' " " 'I'
i The proposal by the board was a
committee of four, called a neutral
bureau, for the hiring of cargo gangs,
two employerav"and two union long
shoremen. The state board thought
that would give non-union, men rep
resentation and The Journal thinks
so too. .. Wouldn't the two. unionized
employers represent the j non-union
men in the right to work? Wouldn't
the two longshoremen represent the
non-union men on issues .of 'wages
and working conditions 7 i- '
. Any fear that nob-union .men would
not be fully represented by the two
employers is dispelled by the reading
of any recent public statement by the
Employers union. All of these state
ments voice the sentiment that the
"non-union man shall have the right
to work and that "every man who
wants to, - shall be . protected in h is
right to work." For the time the
most gallant champion that non
union workers ever had in i their, right
to" work is : the., Waterfront , Em
ployers' union. 1 - -
'The whole effort by the unionised
employers' strike committee has been
to divert attention, from the main is
sue to extraneous Issues. I The. real
issue is the strike committee's drive
to destroy the longshoremen's union
in order to strengthen their own al
ready,; powerful employers union.
The main issue is' the Insistence of
the employers committee that there
be a closed shop for employers .and
an open shop for longshoremen.
Theirs is an astounding doctrine.'
Bound : together - themselves by a
hard-boiled and aggressive unionized
organisation, they are -before the
great bar of public opinion refusing
arbitration, refusing the conciliation,
board's proposals for a neutral hall,
refusing everything proposed for set
tlement of the strike, all' because' of
their announced determination to
put the unionized longshoremen out
of business. . ' -
Their solicitude for non-union men
is sham and humbug.
. If once the longshoremen's organ
ization is broken down, the last de
fense of workers, union or non-union,
on the Portland waterfront will be
gone. With that defense! gone, the
present very .vocal Interest.;, of the
employers strike committee in the
welfare of non-union workers .will,
vanish like the mists of the morn
ing, and everybody knows It
The whole purpose Of this uncom
promising committee in seeking to
destroy the longshoremen's organ
ization Is to get waterfront workers,
union and non-unicjn alike.-at - their
mercy. . -v?" '.j
.That is why all this talk about the
welfare , ot the non-union , man is a
false Issue, raised to befuddle the
public It is a course with which the
reasonable and' many high-minded
employers In this town, j including
many in the Waterfront Employers
union, are probably dissatisfied,

Kr ONE: of the burial plots that
.Will be dedicated incident to Port
land's . observance of - Memorial day
tomorrow there have been laid the
bodies 'of 73 soldiers brought back
from France, a . , '..'
; - -Not far- from -. them- are sleeping
thev dead of . the Civil .war " and of
the Spanish-American- war.. ' Those
who wore the blue, and the gray,
those who' wore', the vollve ', drab; .and
khaki are 'gathered "back into the
enfolding arms of a common Toother.
When the first Memorial, day was
observed On May "SO, 1868, -John" A.
Logan, then ' commander in chief .of
the Grand. Army of the Republic,
Issued general instructions which
readt' - : ? - '1 r " rf "-S
If ether eyes grow . dull . aad other
hands slack and other hearts ; cold ia
the solemn trust, ours shall keep it well
as.lonr as the light aad warmth ef life
remain to us - :. j- - v,; "
Let us - then at the . time : appointed
gather around their sacred Temains and
garland the passionless mounds above
them with the choicest flowers of spring
tune. Let us raise above them the dear
old flag they saved from dishonor.-Let
us In the solemn presence renew our
pledges to aid and assist those whom
they have left among us a sacred charge
upon the 4 Nation's gratitude - the
soldier's and sailor's widow aad orphan.
.The words were written without
foreknowledge or ' thought -' of the
later wars that would. lay their hon
ored dead beside the last, remains
of the heroes of civil strife. They
were written, doubtless, without ex
pectation of that softening and weld
ing, of hearts that haf e come with
time through common - emergency
and have rejoined North and South.
But Commander - Logan's c thought
applies with broadened meaning and
force.. . ? :
.Honor,, tears and flowers must be
carried to the mounds" where sleep
the dead of. America's - wars. But
care, dictated by gratitude and love,
and. n.n handicapped by greed or nar
row vision, must follow those whom
war has left helpless. . Those who
stand, but feebly would be the first
objects, of the solicitude of those
who have fallen.' . - ..." - v.:
A New Jersey boy fell", head first
Into a post bole and died from suffo

in between the walls of a garage and
the adjoining building while playing
with .other, children, and became

had to cut a hole In the garage wall
to release- him. - A ' 1 J-year-old Ore

' FROM A RACE TRACK ;
' : '." ' .' "' .. i 'iifi: S VL;'
PHARLES CASH was . formerly1 a
v. familiar figure at the big race
tracks . of the country; t ? He was
known as one of; the, plungers J of
his time. He made his living: gam
bling on races. t -i
For years fortune smiled on him.
He : made, at times, huge- sums on
horses." Sometimes he"rl.. He was
a good "spender of the money he
won. ; When he lost there was little
left to spend." ' -
There was always excitement over
the presence of Charles Cash at the
races.' Hut presence meant big bets,
big money. He was among the most
prominent at the tracks.
Later, there was less flurry when
he; was about.. 5 His bets were not so
large. He had 'not been bo for
tunate. Still later, .he was lost in
the crowds- his big betting days
over. He was merely a , hanger-on.
A few days- ago he walked . Into
an Eastern barber shop; for-a shave.
He questioned his .barber as to
whether . or -'not he "played the
ponies. f The barber answered . that
sometimes he did. j .: 1 1
As Cash left the shop he turned
to the barber and offered this ad
vice: ."Take my tip and leave the
horses alone. I lost my" wife, : my
home, and ..a, fortune trying to beat
them."" " v
A,, few minutesj, later women
shrieked as a body hurled itself be
neath a subway . train across the
street. '; It was carried out and identi
fied by a barber as that of Charles
Cash.
He lived by chance, and he lost
his wife, his home, his fortune, and
his life. , f
.THE HULLABALOO
TFTHT. all, this hullabaloo about the
' " recall? .
- The recall is denounced as a sys
tem. The recall of (he public service
commissioners is cited as proof that
the state is going to smash. Errors
in some counties in which a commissioner-
.was recalled and . then
given - a plurality are, made merry
over and pointed to as a fault of the
retail system. . I . - ' '
- Nothing -serious has 1 happened.
The moonbeams still shine on Ore
gon at. bight when 'the" summer
clouds permit, and the earth still re
volves on its axis. ... '
It is recited that two inexperi
enced men are elected to the com
mission. . That has been done before
in Oregon". . Every official ever elect
ed In America . was' originally inex
perienced. Every commissioner : ever
elected in Oregon was Originally In
experienced and. had to learn, : There
is still .an experienced member on
the commission. The commissioners
elect will ...be sobered l and steadied
when .they --face their responsibili
ties, as are all newly-elects.
' . It was The Journal's view that, in
stead cf the recall, the courts should
have '-been applied to' in the tele
phone controversy. But the people
demanded, the recall. And they, re
called the commissioner's-by an over
whelming vote. And why shouldn't
they ? Whose right is it to j order
them not to? .Isn't this country still
a democracy? ; v -l
. It is natural for the public utilities
to raise a fuss over this first state
wide ' use of the recalL An eight

phone rates, with everybody else de
flated, were a nice thing for them.
Life was a long, sweet dream of divi

The result of the recent primary elec

interest tO the country at large. .The

statea . : It will . not need many more
overturns of this , sort to - convince the
country and congress that being 'organi
sation, and In ia no safeguard against
defeat for nomination. The fact that
uw , strongest organization candidates
lost : their own districts was -most Sig
nificant, the Philadelphia Public Ledger
(lnd Rep.) . believes, , indicaUng that
"the Plnchot. nomination sounds a new
and brighter era in Pennsylvania and in
national Republicanism. It is due large
ly to- the women that the control of the
party organization has ' been wrested
from, the hands that have fouled It."
While there was "a great deal of -the
personal element and triumph In the
Pinchot victory, the Washington Star
(Ind.) suggests that the primary result
waa not an anti-Republican perform
anace.T and that while "a Plnchot ma
chine, may .not rise on, the ruins of the
will ihave to be . asserted in some vigorv
oua aim pricuci way. . ,- ;
Because the "stay - at" home .vote In
Philadelphia was Urge. the Philadel
phia! 1: Inquirer (Rep.) r declares that
"while the bosses have lost out In their
main; right they were yet able to prove
that they still controlled a majority of
the Republicans of the city." This fact,
it asserts, is discouraging to all earnest
friends of" good government The
Plnchot victory ; also shows, that rthe
rank: and iw.of the Republican party
is . not pleased with the Conduct of af
fairs, the New. York Evening Post (Ind)
Is convinced, sunrestinev that "from, the
triumph, of 'Beverldge and Pinchot the
leaders may. learn the wisdom .o looking
forward -rather than backward.'' In ad
dition the Pennsylvania result, theKnox
villei; Sentinel - (Ind. Dem.) points t out.
"will shake the G. O. P. structure in the
nation from -turret to foundation stone,
and set up such a rattling of .the dry
bones, of the. party as never before .was
known in an off-year campaign. And
the - New .Tork Evening World- (Dem.)
contends that "if it is possible to break
the machine in Indiana and In -Pennsylvania,;
it: is possible to do so any
Where." Which indicates ' to the. Balti
more Sun (Ind. Dem.) that "there must
be something strange and far reaching'
going on when Pennsylvania 'grows
puritanical and turns her back on the
orthodox .church."
' The fact that there was no opposition
to the Harding administration indicated
in arty way by Pinchot and his follow
ers' ta the - pre-primary campaign . con
vlaeed the Springfield Republican (Ind.)
that "what focused this discontent in
Pennsylvania was the rare opportunity
to smash. the -old machine and begin a
new - era In 'Pennsylvania, politics. -, Mr.
Plnchot. aar governor of -Pennsylvania;
assuming that such will be his destiny,
will sharply challenge the attention of
the country .and easily be one of the
most salient public figures of the day."
The result also shewed that "the day
of hand-picked candidates is past, the
Pittsburg 1 Leader (Prog. Rep.) points
out, adding that "the result is purifica
tion and revivification of the Republican
Party. The rebuke administered means
that there will be little or no contest at
the general election." The nomination
of Pinchot, "is a -matter of great grati
fication to the friends of good govern
ment everywhere, the Savannah Press
(Dera.) believes, r "This is without re
gard 7 to political alignment G if ford
Plnchot : represents the best element of
his party and of his people. This is the
next thing to a Democratic -victory. The
whole ; nation -bas occasion to rejoice in
his triumph.
Wbde6 many lessons can be drawn"
from .the result, - the Cincinnati Times
StartRep.) : characterises as "far
fetched and absurd" suggestions that It
in any way is a rebuke to the adminis
tration and a crushing blow to-regular
Republicanism, bat the -Syracuse Herald
(Ind. ) is convinced that the voters of
Pennsylvania -supported plnchot as "an
other warning to the men in control at
Washington that they " 'must1 apply the
brakes' ouiekly' .-and resolutely If they
would avert party disaster next fan."
There also 1 Is significance. the Adrian
(Mich.)-Daily-Telegram (Ind.) suggests,
in the fact that Senator Pepper has
been oufepoken in opposition to the sol
diers' 'bonus, and - his opponents taking
advantage of that fact, made a vigorous
appeal to the soldier vota It is plain
that the bonus issue as a political issue
has been overestimated.' -
l.-'i-fif-j m e a - ".-'.''.
) Taking sharp exception , to the general
apparent belief that the nomination of
Pinchot means : election, the Buffalo
Times (Dem.) recalls that the "situation
as it stands today brings graphically to
mind the fact that within the memory
of millions now living, and by no means
old men at ' that. 1 Pennsylvania went
Dernocratia. electing Robert E. Pattison
for governor. The Democratic - oppor
tunity now la - unquestionable, and re
markably like the Democratic opportun
ity then. . 1 . , ' - . .
. 1 i - i
The silent vote must be taken into con
sideration by the politicians this year, the
Tj rising State Journal (Ind.) feels cer
tain, pointing out that "people are doing
a whole lot 1 of quiet, conservative, pro
gressive thinking, and voting their eon- :
elusions. It is a mighty wholesome situa
tion and we ' believe, th tendency is
bound to Show acceleration as this com
monly called off-year election goes on."
Characterizing the result as "almost a
miracle In politics,' the Nashville Ban
ner (Ind.) ia . convinced that Plnchot
"now is the foremost maa politically in
his state." while the Lincoln Stat Jour
nal (Ind. Rep.) declares that "the news
from Indiana and Pennsylvania, two of
the most notoriously boss-ridden of all
the statea cannot be ignored on Capitol
hilL It must be heeded at the. White
House. ' It means as much a repudiation
of the conduct of affairs at Washington
as tie election meant In the fail of 1320."
It a'.so is noteworthy, the Colsmbus DU
ratch (Ini) recalls, "that both the Pin
chot asi t:.-. jutjr -naoag-rs are g:vtng
the women of Pennsylvania a large part
of the credit for he result," ..
'"Leadership of the Rooseveltian sort is

Boston : Transcript (Ind.) -. sums - up.
"Where the organization refuses to offer
that kind - of . leadership the rank ana

do. find it for themselves." .

Opponent of Daylight Saving Also Asks
. .. Other Questions About It
Portland, May ' 25. To , the Editor of
The Journal I think a comprehensive
objection to .the so-called daylight sav
ing, plan Is. "What's the use?" During
the war the reason . for the system was
to enable the war-gardener to have an
extra hour in the evening for bis garden.
Then be had to go to bed an hour ear
lier because he had .to get up an hour
earlier. A perfectly good hour, of nice,
cool daylight could have been obtained
just as well by the use of an alarm
clock. It isn't $ o'clock in the evening
until the sun bas passed the meridian
six hours. . Our conscious mind : knows
it every time we think of the time, and
our sub-conscious - mind ' knows it ' when
we are not thinking of it Not only all
our lives has ' this - been so, but ever
since , time began, and will be until the
earth ceases its revolutions around the
sun.- ; Let us get up an hour earlier if
we want to, or go to bed an hour ear
lier If we want to, but we can never. kid
ourselves- into thinking it is 7 o'clock in
the morning when we know it is only s.
And . then, in - the fan, do -,we have to
change our calculations all ever again?
- I am told that since New York has
moved the docks ahead or back, which
ever it is the Portland 'banks don't get
the clearing house reports until nearly
tune : to start out to the - golf links.
Never having had much dealings with
banks.. I oon t realise just how import
ant that : ia but -1 euspect there - would
be no : concerted objection on the part
Lof the populace if the 1 banks were to
stay open as late as 4 o'clock In the
afternoon. If such a thing Is found to
be necessary. " . .- j
The one question of train schedules 'in
New. -'Tork has caused more confusion
than. any. ' benefits - from thet "daylight
saving."- : If you wanted : to take a train
from New Tork to Podunk you first bad

l NON-UNION MEN "NOT
' 1 . REPRESENTED
Portland. May 2.-ToMthe Editor of
The Journal The writer lis a constant
reader of your paper and sees much to
admire, about it as an up-to-the-minute
newspaper. However, I cannot resist the
temptation to. take, issue: with you la
your rcnt, editorials regarding v the
wrafArfAnttfrrllrn ? C ' li - ' .'
i In. your, issue of May 25 you took 'the
stand (if I can read English correctly)
that the non-union men were not. enti
tled to a place on the hall committee
because of the fact that the advantage
would be all with the employers," By
this reasoning, then, you would deny the
non-union r men representation on tie
committee,, although .the 1 percentage is
abtfufiu pefcest non-union una aoout
10 vper cent organized, and these figures
prevail .throughout 'the United' Statea
Why would you deny the non-union men
a right, to have a voice ; in the same
proportion as the union men? Do-you
not thina they are as good citlaena as
the union men. that they, are as anx
ious to make an honest living for
their families? Would you make mem
bership in a union the test of citizenship,
uprightness and loyalty,, when all rec
ords point to the contrary? Possibly,
like l the average . newspaper - of 'today.
your real belief are quite, the contrary.
but you have not the- moral courage to
say so -ta print : ! - 1-r s, -s
i The mayor of this city 1 is taking the
only stand he. can take in this matter,
that : of ' giving police protection to men
who want to work at a wage that they
consider satisfactory. The fact that this
protection - is costing, as r you state, a
thousand dollars a day, is beside the
question and is not even open for argu
ment: 'If the mayor ef this-city failed
to give' - these men protection, be should
be publicly condemned. a
Tou as a newspaper should be giving
the mayor 'your undivided support when
you know he is doing what is right and
just.' regardless of cost. :' Amerjcaff citi
zenship has never been designated 'by
a dollar, sign.. Thousands - of dollars
have been spent by , the government at
times to protect a single American cttt
sen in a foreign land. Can we do less
for working men who are citizens trying
to earn an honest living in this country?

Random Observations About Town
When Colonel Frank P. 1 Light - left
Lakeview for Willamette valley points
he carried with him three large posters
advertising tbe Lakeview Roundupnext
to the Pendleton show, he asserts. He
calculated on placing one of the posters
at Bend, . one at Eugene and one at
Portland. He succeeded in leaving one
at Bend and one at Portland, but when
he reached Eugene he discovered be had,
through an oversight, forgotten to bring
bis. poster, having left It behind at Port
land. Aa a result. Eugene; is to have
no poster, but Portland is to get two.
Every man, woman and child in Lake
view, says Colonel Light belongs to tbe
Roundup association,- which is . not a
profit-making association. It only-expects
to make expenses.' '" j

Bishop Scott of Portland had issued a
call for missionaries to come to Oregon,
Uncle John, and my father noticed that
the mes of the South' were drilling and
that there was a' very -bitter feeling
asrainst the North. 1 As they were North

John wrote to Bishop Scott asking blra
if he could use him and my ' father In

their - loyalty than v the "fact that - they
