Labor-Industry Committee
Gets It After Measure.
'r: ,-. Is Greatly Changed
Labor forces In the house won a
major victory y.terUy mornlnB
when they engineered a new onion
registration measure thro ash first
and second reading under suspen
sion of the rule, and sent the bill
to the committee on labor and In
dustries. The bill, bya 34 to 2 5
Tote, was introduced by tbe-com-mtttee
on reorganisation as a sub
stitute tor house bill .
Yesterday's action reversed the
tote t 10 days ago when the
companion labor measures 55 and
67. came from the labor committee
Mnnrti. At that time
the-bills were re-referred to the
administration committee.
Representative Hannah Martin,
Marion, took the lead In sending
the bills to the, committee. She
tnoTed suspension of the rules and
n..Miiti(ln TTrdn mOTed that
they be sent to the labor commit-
tee.- .- . , ' -

ber ot the administration commit-?
tee objected to sending the bill to
tti. IW enmmittee.
"This bill was drawn by the
- J
committee on administration anu
reorganization and should be sent
back to them. There's no sense In
choking It to death in committee.
Let-It. come on the floor and be
decided. No one who Is interested
will be de ilel a bearing on the
bill." .
Representative nsnw,
Multnomah, took Issue with Fat
land. rro hear Representative Fat
land talk, yon would think the
committee was going to kill the
bill." Wagner said, "It will not be
choked to death. For your infor
mation there are more members
on the labor and industries com
mittee not connected with labor
. than there are men who- are inter
ested in unions.
The- Tote on the motion to re
fer the bill to the labor and in

Senate Sayes
Kerr Position
U. of O. 'Crowd' Defends
Him Now; Abolishment
. of Job Voted Down t V
The senate saved the position of
Dr. W. J. Kerr, former chancellor
ot the state system of higher ed
ucation, -when, it Indefinitely post
poned, li to 11. H-B. to abolish
the office of director of market
research. Oddly enough the rescue
was led by the "university crowd,"
which in former years had fought
Dr. Kerr when he was president
of the state college, Angell, and
Walker, both TJ. of O. graduates,
and Wheeler, senator from Lane
county, speaking against the bill.
Johnson and Lessard also spoke
against the bill. Favoring the bill
on the floor were Stringer, Burke,
Kiddle, Balentine, Graham. ;
Angell Toiced high praise for
Dr. Kerr, saying: "I admire him
for his ability. He took the state
college when it was a weak ln
stltutlon and built it up until It
is one of the outstanding institu
tions in the United Sates in agri
culture. His services in the pres
ent work are very desirable. Dr.
Kerr is giving dollar for dollar
and we should not Interfere with
the state board. ; u
Wheeler made a warm defense
of the ex-chancellor's position, de
claring: "I guarantee he will do
more in help of agriculture than
all the agricultural agents ot the
state. He is now working on mar
keting of prunes and apples but
has not gone far enough to make
a report. The prejudice was
against the pension; but now he
is hired as a worker and part I
paid by the federal government."
Says Farmers Oppose
Senator Burke In support of the
bill said there were many resolu
tions of agricultural organisations
against the Kerr office but none
for. it. Kiddle said the position
had no business with the system
of- higher education bat belonged
with the department of agricul
ture. Graham said his conclusion
was based on the fact that the ad
vocates of the position did not
persuade him that anything "had
been accomplished. '
In closing Sen. Walker pleaded
for support ot the board of high
er education which had brought
the schools from turmoil, operat
ed them at reduced cost, taken
care of more students. He asserted
it was not the province of the leg'
islature to Interfere with the ad-

The attack failed after Repre

"The taxes to be raised for
