July combustibles, according to

ago by the' fire marshal and which caused a furore among
dealers in combustibles. Complaints began to come in when
the order was made known and Mr. Barber asked the attor
ney general for an opinion.
As a precaution against fires, the order of Fire Marshal
A. C. Barber went so far as to prohibit the sale of fire
crackers, but granted that programs of fireworks could be
staged under supervision of constituted authority. The at
torney general's opinion holds that the order was in exce3s
of legal authority.

no authority to prevent the
an opinion of Attorney Gen-
The attorney general's opinion
reads in part:
"Section 2 of the act in ques
tion contains the measure of pow
ers of the state fire marshal with
reference to the matters covered
by the said order.
Marshal's Duties Defined
"Under the provisions of said
section it is made the duty of
the state fire marshal to enforce
all laws and lawful ordinances
and make rules and regulations
relating to the matters enumer
ated in the said section, the in
tent being that the power to
make rules and regulations shall
be confined to matters covered by
laws enacted by the ' legislature
and lawful ordinances. The leg
islature has not prohibited the
use of combustibles' and explo
sives, and subdivision 2 of said
section 2 indicates that the use
of same was not Intended to be
prohibited. Such being the case
(he power of the state fire mar
shal in making rules and regula
tions relating to the use of such
combustibles and explosives is
limited to such matters necessary
for the prevention of fires and the
safety of the publlic as may come
within the scope of the statute.
Order Not Authorized
"it is my opinion that the gen
eral prohibition of. the discharge
etc. of firecrackers, fireworks and
other combustibles contained in
section 1 of your order No. 4 is
not authorized by the provisions
of the statute referred to, and
that said statute does not confer
upon the state fire marshal the
Uuthority to prohibit generally
the sale of fireworks at retail.
"In this connection it will beieSon
noted that tne statute nas not pro
vided (penalties for refusal to
obey rules and regulations of the
state fire marshal."
Strawberry Market at
Silverton is Flooded
SILVERTON, Or., June 9
(Special to The Statesman)
The Silverton strawberry market
was flooded yesterday. It was
reported that three growers
brought in large quantities ot
berries early In the morning and
had difficulty m disposing of
them. " It is also reported that
the surplus quantity will be dis
posed ot next week as the can
nery open 8 Monday morning.
It is thought that the strawber
ry season In and about Silverton
will be exceedingly short this
year due to the warm weather
which made the ' berries ripen
much more quickly than expect
ed. The dry weather is now dry
ing up the plants so that unless
a heavy shower comes in the very
near future the later berries will
not develop properly.

of The Oaks park by the city of

the purchase of the park were ex
plained by R. A. Harris, and the
meeting gave unanimous support
to the vote, asking the city to
act. O. O. Watson is president
and Mark Elliott secretary-treasurer

AUTOMOBILES WILL
Salem Cherrians expect to
go to the Portland Rose festi
val Friday, June 23, the day of
the great national parade.
They have about 90 members.
They expect to make it a 100
per cent delegation. .
The Cherrians plan to enter
one or two decorated cars. It
might even be that- they will
decide later to enter for the
big prize, though that is not
now probable. A show of dec
orated cars, with nothing for
the big float prize contest, is
the present probability.
The Cherrians are to begin
drilling, Monday night, and
will meet also on Wednesday
and Friday nights, until the
Portland show. Capt. W. C.
Dyer will command, with
Lieutenants Carl Gabrielson
and Carle Abrams as his as
sistants. Every Cherrian is
needed.

HIGH COURT
IS FLAYED
BY GOMPERS
Congress and State Legisla
tures Also Criticised by
Federation President
CINCINNATI, Ohio, June 9.
Protests of organized labor, as
voiced here today at preliminaries
for the annual convention next
week of the American Federa
tion of Labor, centered ; against
the supreme court, the congress
and state legislatures in general.
Samuel Gompers, president of
the federation, in addressing a
club, of businessmen, Interpreted
the supreme court decision in the
celebrated Coronado coal -case as
a negation of the light to strike
and declared that organised labor
would appeal to congress for new
legislation setting aside the de
cision. . v . - ; ;
In criticising the supreme court
Mr. Gompers said that he expect
ed to be "taken strictly to ac
count" for his utterances, adding
that "I do not run away from a
fight." . . a -
"But, it . has come to-a pretty
pass," he continued, "when an
American citizen can no longer
discuss and criticise the decision
of the courts." ,
"Any one, if be feels so dis
posed, can criticise even the presi
dent of the United Statesor the
the United States senate or the
congress. Pray of what flesh are
the members of the supreme court
that they are above crltcism be-
yound that of the president ot the
United States."
Delegates to the meeting of the
metal trades department of the
federation, by unanimous action,
assailed congress and state legis
latures as. enemies of labor and
declared for labor's active partici
pation in the fall campaign in an
effort to elect its friends regard
less of their politics. t
In his speech. Mr. Gompers
said the Coronado decision made
international unions indorsing
strikes liable for damages and he
asserted this meant the unions
must withstand "constant, litiga
tion or go out of business."
