Bonus Land Sales Breaking Records Million and naif Will Be Put Back on Tax Roll . by Close of 1937 " The world war veterans stats aid commission will return to the tax roll by the close of this year not less than $1,500,000 in resi dences and farm properties now stats-owned, Jerrold Owen, sec retary of the commission, reported Wednesday to Governor Charles H. Martin. 5 - During the first three months of 1937 tbers -were 11 sales for 9274.839 at a profit to the state of 121,197. "Inquiries from every section of the state Indicate keen Inter est in real estate both as sn In flation hedge and as a protection against soaring rents," Owen said. "With 111 city residences and 495 farms still on hand, this department Is now one of the largest property owners In the stste." Owen said the commission was not in competition with private real estate operators, as all sales were made through licensed real tors. 1983 Already Exceeded Thus far in 1937, sales have been greater than in all of 1933 when they totalled $212,980 and of 1934 when they reached $259, 541.

Today rents and leases sre bring ing in 6.1 per cent.

The OREGON STATESMAN, Salem, Economic System Change Held Need Webber Tells of Sit-Down ; Strikes as Observer; Defends Practice Prediction that members of the democratic and republican parties who have reached the belief that the present economic system will not function to provide sn ade quate purchasing power for the masses will Join within the next three years with now active groups of this view to form some federated basis committed to es tablishment of that snd,: was made hers yesterday by ' Charles C. Webber, field secretary of the Methodist Federation of Social Service, an unofficial organiza tion. , Webber addressed three gath erlngs yesterday, an all-day sem inar at Jason Leo M. E. church, a luncheon meeting at the Argo and a mass meeting at First M. X ehurch basement last night. The new movement for wise economic planning for the coun try will be felt In the next presi dential election, he Indicated. Webber pointed to the supreme court decision In the Wagner la bor act as a step in ths right di rection for those who are concern ed in getting for ths country an adequate purchasing power for agricultural as well as industrial workers. Webber has been In close touch with labor movements of ths last years, including ths situation In a Richmond, Va., clothing mill on which was baaed one of ths five cases before ths supreme court In the Wagner act. His personal In terest In outcome of the court case cams through addressing the workers st this mill for ths Amal gamated Clothing Workers Union, and he stated the mill workers were fired the day after his ad dress, though they had not Joined the union. The situation In the Ford Indus try Is significant, Webber said, and predicted a determined effort within the year to organize Ford workers. Defends Sit-Down The visitor defended the sit down strike in the light of condi tions of the workers, the speed-up and low wage scale prevailing, and cruelties of the stay-out strike method. He recounted ths incep tion of the sit-down strike In the Berkshire Knitting mills of Red ding. Pa., and also told of being In the Fisher plants at height of the sit-down strike. Workers at the General Motors plant could have been paid $2000 yearly- In 1935 Instead of $1160 and still the corporation could have paid 72 million dollars in dividends, and for this reason the sit-down strikers clatmsd that "ethically they were sitting down on property that belonged to them as well as the stockholders." Webber said that Inasmuch as the Wagner act does not spply to such intra-stats Industries as ho tels, restaurants and cleaning es tablishments, It Is probable that these Industries will see utiliza tion of the sit-down technique If worker and employer cannot get together.

Says Mayor (By the Associated Press) 'A demand for sympathy strikes In the United States came yester day from Canada's labor trouble center. Mayor Alex Hall of Oshawa, Ontario, asked the United Auto mobile Workers of America to call their men out of General Mo tors corporation factories in the TJ. S. as a demonstration ot loyal ty to the $700 members of ths nnlon who walked out ot the Gen eral Motors of Canada plant at Oshawa a week ago. Unless the workers south of the border quit by Monday, ths mayor asserted, ths Oshawa unionists will be advised to return to their Jobs. U. A. W. A. officials In De troit declined to Indicate their course of action. A threatened walkout of 3500 Southern Pacific railroad em ployes was forestalled for at least 0 days by President Roosevelt's action In appointing a tnree-man board to Investigate ths contro versy. . A force of mors than 300 police and sheriff's officers, using tear gas freely, evicted 160 sit-down strikers, most of them women, from ths Yals it Towns Manufac turing Co. plant in Detroit. A number of the demonstrators were cut on ths hands snd face In the hand-to-hand struggle. Another sit-down strike, in volving 75 members of the deck, and engine room crews who ob jected to ths hiring ot nine men who had not supported ths recent maritime strike, delayed the sail ing ot the United States liner President Roosevelt at New York. John L. Lewis, whose com mittee for industrial organiza tion Is engaged in a widespread recruiting campaign in competi tion with the American Federa tion of Labor, commented on developments on both sides of the International boundary. He told israshlngton reporters Pre mler Hepburn of Ontario was "unduly exercised" over the Osh- awa strike, sponsored by a Lewis union, and denied the premier's contention that the CXO. is communistics. Referring to Henry Ford's statement that his employes are free to join any labor organiza tion. Lewis said the U.A.W.A. would continue organizing among them and "I assume they will aak for recognition." Meanwhile. Ontario's labor minister, David Croll, and Its attorney general. Arthur Roe buck, who defended the Oshawa union, resigned at Hepburn ssug gestlon.

Such tactics, he added, ex plained lack ot Interest In the organization on the part ot down town young democrats; Then the election proceeded, with a secret ballot, insisted upon by the downtown group. McLeod and Miss Schroeder were elected. Mrs. Brabee losing out by a mar gin of six votes, it was reported.

LABISH CENTER, April 14. The heavy rains of the last few days have flooded all of the river land and practically all of the lake land east of the Labish-Brooka road, with the water steadily ris ing. The situation Is causing the onion growers much . uneasiness, as much of the crop is usually planted by this time. While this year, plowing has not been com pleted yet In many cases' because the ground has been so wet. SUVER, April 14. Copious rain for the past two days has raised the streams and the river to flood stage and stopped all farming operations. The ground Is so full of water that even though ths rain should cease fall ing at once it would be a week or ten days before" the ground could be worked. Clover and alfalfa Is making a rapid growth and fall grain is coming out in fine shape. Early gardens are being held back by the cold wet weather.
