Extension Till Unions

Workers Reiterate! Their
Willingness to wait
15 Days or Mo:ith
. SAN FRANCISCO, Spt. 29.-(P)-Coast
maritime employers to
night expressed themselves as
'loath to extend rapidly expir
ing -working agreements unless
marine unions williagree to sub-
mit unsettled issues; td arbitratfiVi
' and discontinue alleged
of present contract., j
violation
The employers' announcement,
telegraphed to the jnewly created
United States maritime: commis
sion, followed shortly after unions
reiterated willingness to extend
present agreement 15 to 30 days
beyond the expiration date of mid
night tomorrow. j j! ,
i The maritime cbmmisslon
sought a 60-day extension for
time to investigate renewal con
troversies threatening r another
major coast shipping tieup ami
strike or lockout of 37,000 marine
workers. '.' j
"Is it not possible ' for your
commission," the employers
asked, "to secure agreements to
arbitrate and assurances that ser
vice will not be interrupted by
violations of agreements?"
--Slow Strangulation of T
4 Commerce Charged
r Accusing marine unions of re
peated violations, tieups and; de-
. lays under awards "following the
1934 strike, the employers de
clared "slow strangulation" of
marina commerce is in progress.
"The situation is so critical
that employers cannot with due
consideration to their obligations
consent to a continuance of these
intolerable . conditions for an
period beyond .absolute necessity,
nor to any period whatever witu
out assurances that a permanent
and definite settlement will re
sult," their message declared.
"A temporary truce would not
permit restoration of services on
satisfactory basis.
"We feel that any. extension
should be accompanied by agree
ment of all to submit all dis
putes not settled by agreement to
arbitration, and by assurance that
job action and other violations of
the awards will be discontinued."
Unions so far have refused to
- arbitrate what they described as
fundamental issues involving re
cognition and the right to bar
gain collectively. '
The union 'proposal was simi-
lar to one they had made four
days previously only to be reject
ed by the organized waterfront
employers.
Five-Honr Parley
Precedes Decision
Union representatives" reached
their decision in a five-hour clos
ed meeting which produced loud
noises Indicating internal differ
ences of opinion.
Assistant Secretary of Labor
V Edward F. McGrady. government
spokesman in the negotiations,
had called upon the union con
ferees to "cooperate with the
president and the government to
avert a serious maritime crisis."
Union representatives tele
graphed the martlme commission
in Washington that they were
making the extension offer to
demonstrate their willingness, to
prevent a lockout by employ
ers." At C o'clock tonight, with the
v deadline only 30 hours away, San

the apprehension over the out
look. -

Roosevelt Denies
Support of Reds
Communism Is False Issue
Says President ; Points
To His Past Record
SYRACUSE,! X. Y., Sept. 29.-(jp-
Contending that his record
showed "consistent adherence" to
the letter and spirit ol "the
American form of government,"
President lloosevelt tonight open
ed the campaign for his reelec
tion with a repudiation of "the
support of any advocate of com
munism." j
Calling communism a "false
issue" in the campaign, the pres
ident told the New York state
democratic convention assembled
here in a state armory that "the
previous national administration"
had "encouraged" conditions that
fostered communism. :
The democratic party, he add
ed, was "realistic enough" to face
"this menace." j
The president remarked at an
other point that there was no dif
ference between the major par
ties as to what they think about
communism, but there was a
"very great difference" in what
they do about it.
Assorts Confidence : j
In Demo Victory J
Scarcely had he sent his voice
ringing through the packed hall
and out over; national radio net
works than Mr. Roosevelt assert
ed a confidence in the outcome
of the election.
"Tonight,") he said, "you and
I join forces for the 193 6 cam
paign. We enter it; with confi
dence." j ;
Swinging over then to the
question of communism, the pres
ident exclaimed:
"Here jand now, once and for
all, let us bury that red ! herring,
and destroy the false issue.
"You are j familiar with my
background, you know my heri
tage, and you are familiar, espe
cially in thei state of New York,
with, my public service extending
back over a quarter of a century.
"In that record, both in this
state and in the national capital,
you will find a simple, clear and
consistent adherence 'not only to
the letter but to the spirit of the
Americaojform of government.'
"To that record, my future and
the future of my administration
will conform. I have not sought,
I do not seek, I repudiate the
support of any advocate of com
munism or of any other alienism
which would by fair means or
foul change our American demo

Suitable Material
Marble Difficult to Get
I But Federal Agency
4 to Heed Request
. Concerted efforts of Senator
Charles L. McNary, Governor
Charles H. Martin, Mayor V. E.
Kuhn and the Salem chamber of
commerce and others yesterday
brought to the chamber of com
merce a telegram from Washing
ton, D. C, stating that white
marble, Wilkestone sandstone or
Bedford limestone will be used
In v construction of the new Salem
postoff ice.
This puts to an end fears that
Tenino stone or Boise stone would
be used in the new building. Un
til state and civic leaders became
interested in this matter, the
specifications for the postoff ice
here called tor either of these
stones. The objection to Tenino
stone here is that it is not adapt
ed o this climate and doesn't
hold its color, the latter objection
also holding for the dark Boise
stone.
Senator McNary s
Request is Heeded
"At Senator McNary's request.
conveyed to procurement division
treasury department desired
choice of stone for use on Salem
postoff ice and advised it Intends
to ask for bids on white marble,
Wilkestone sandstone or Bedford
limestone," the chamber is in
formed in the telegram from J. C.
Allen, assistant secretary to Sena
tor McNary in Washington.
He added that white marble
is exceedingly difficult to obtain.
Leaders here are most anxious
to see the postoffice construction
of white marble, as this material
will be used for the new state
capitol. '
Neither of the other stones at
first inserted in the specifications
would harmonize with the capitol
building.
The three stones, white marble,
light colored Wilkestone sand
stone and Bedford limestone of
light color were suggested in that
order to the procurement depart
ment following a meeting here
last week when the directors of
the chamber of commerce, the
Salem state capitol committee, the
chamber of commerce postoffice
committee and the building com
mittee of the city council met to
organize for action on the matter.
; Tenino and Boise stones were
proposed as building material for
the postoffice because of Western
origination, according to word
received here after the movement
tor the change was started.
'Bids for construction of the
postoffice will be opened in Wash

The excavation, work at the
site under the contract to Roy
L. Houck company has been wear
ly completed. Work now Is to level
off the bottom and shape the
sides to conform to specifications.
A mountain of dirt has been piled
at the east side of the old ex
cavation to be available for back
fill. The surplus dirt was sold
back to the state for.lllinr on
penitentiary land. An Interesting
fact Is that the land bow being
filled was once the site of a brick
yard, and the top soil was used
for brick making, thus lowering
the level. Bricks were made for
the penitentiary and for the old
state capitol,' perhaps from this
land. .; . ... - .
Erection of the fence around
the tract has been resumed and

said after a survey of conditions
late this afternoon.
He stated that relief measures
were progressing orderly and
there was no actual suffering. He
said rumors of lawlessness and
looting in Bandon, resort city
were false.
At Bandon sightseers were turn
ed back at Ballard's Ferry and of
ficers, continued to block unauth

stricken area at all points.
farly estimates of property
damage remained unchanged. .
Bandon alone counted damage at
