Seeking to secure the support of the lawyers for labor. Green recounted the history of labor legislation from its inception to the present time.

Viking Eleven Downs Camas In Final Half Walt Erickson's Boys in Lead at Rest Period ; Final Score 12-7 Each Team. Able to -Gain When it Has Ball but . Weight Decides It By PAUL HAUSER5 By sheer weight ot pounds and numbers and the yardage gaining abilities of Phil Salstrom the Sa lem high Vikings defeated the Camas Papermakers 12 to 7 on Sweetland field last night after the two teams had battled through the first half on fairly even terms. In the first half there was lit tle to choose between the two elev ens but superior poundage in the Salem line told In the third quar ter as the Vikings punched across the winning touchdown. Salstrom scored the winning counter from the 2-yard line on a reverse from Quesseth after a 70-yard drive to pay dirt. Both teams were strong offen sively but weak on defense and In the Initial half it was the team that had the ball that west pla ces. Lack of reserves and loss of key men by Injuries In the sec ond half were costly to Walt Er ickson, who saw his Papermakers put up a game tight against the heavier Vikings. Camas Takes Lead With Extra Point Each team rammed through a score in the first half but Camas, on a pass from Shafer to Git tings, gained the extra point and led ! to 8 at the end of the first canto. f jColaoidentally-botlt touchdowns were scored after a touchdown had been disallowed on a penalty. Salem took the ball on the Initial kickoff and drove in four downs to the Camas 13 where Salstrom took the ball on a reverse and raced around the Camas right end into pay dirt but a 15-yard pen alty for clipping voided the tally. With 2 5 yards to go for a first down Salstrom attempted a pass to Traglio but it fell Incomplete. Quesseth faded back on the next play, tossed the ball 20 yards into the waiting arms of Salstrom who twisted past two tacklers as he plunged the remaining 15 yards to scoring territory. Salstrom at tempted an end sweep for the extra point but was stopped by Do linski, Camas fullback. Camas Can Gallop Too, Discovered Salem had had the ball every minute up to then and the way the Viking backs tore through the light Camas line it looked as if the game would be one of those 75 to 0 affairs but Walt Erickson had a surprise in store. Salem kicked off and found out that the surprise consisted of a Camas backfield that could weave and twist through the entire Sa lem team. Shafer, Camas quarter, took the kick, and returned it through a packed field, weaving, twisting and spinning all the way 36 yards to the Salem 46 stripe. Displaying a razzle-dazzle of fensive that had the Salem team stumped, Camas took only four plays to push over what would have been a touchdown if Camas hadn't been offside on the play. The ball was taken back to the Salem 23 and Camas started its scoring drive again only to have a fumble cut it short. SeTeral Threats Are : Made Before Score A poor kick by Serdots start ed the Camas Papermakers off on their trail of double and triple re verses, criss-crosses and laterals again and they were knocking at the door when Shafer fumbled and Salstrom recovered.

The storm, moving about 12 miles an hour, was veer- ' lag slightly eastward.

The lease is at 1250 per month. , In connection with the move and a news story which mention ed a possible move of the bonus offices to Portland, State Treas urer Holman emphatically assert ed that a further concentration of state departments and offices in Salem should be the rule. "You have an office In Port land, haven't you?". Governor Martin queried the treasurer at this point. Holman's face flushed.
