Tie-up May Follow Qder by
Labor to Defy
Ruling; Picket
Issue Is Faced
Two Carriers Ordered to
: Complete Delivery to
i Restaurant Here
Absence of Strike Held
Deciding Factor;. May
... ; Affect all Oregon
A lonely, rain-soaked picket
trudging back and forth in front
of a State street restaurant in Sa
lem yesterday became the central
figure in a labor crisis which held
the notentlalitiy of a widespread
truck transportation tie-up in Ore
gon.
Hints as to what might transpire
came close upon the heels of a
ruling by N. G. Wallace, state
utility commissioner, that truck
operators, operating under stale
permit calling for door-to-door de
livery, are required to complete
such delivery regardless of wheth
er there is a picket line, provided
no strike exists.
In Portland, Ralph J. Staehlt ot
the Allied Truck Owners declared
there would be no licensed operators-
"if permits are with
drawn."
"If we have a picket line, we
aren't going through there regard
less ot what they? say," an Am
erican Federation of Labor
spokesman was quoted. -
Companies Ordered
To Make delivery I
Wallace in ruling upon the
complaints of F. H. Chatas and
It. J. Nicol against two carriers,
the Willamette Valley Transfer
company-and Silver Wheel Motor
Freight, Inc. ordered the defend
ant companies to "forthwith com
plete all deliveries of freight con
signed to the complainants . . . to
the place of business ot the plaint
tiffs at 440 State street, within
the city limits of Salem, Oregon."
Plaintiffs, charged that : the
truck concerns ; had refused sto
make deliveries of merchandise
consigned to them from outside
of Salem because j of fear of re
prisals from the culinary alliance,
AFL affiliate which has picketed
the restaurant Intermittently for
several months although no strike
exists. . i-. .
Wallace held that refusal of a
common carrier to carry out its
contract "cannot ,.be excused for
the reason that a strike would ex
tend to its operations."
"It was f oundT the orders read,
"that no strike or riot existed at
complainant's place of business
and that no threats of violence nor
Immediate intimidation had been
offered by the picket to or about
" the - drivers and helps" of the de
fendants." . ;
Reasonable Effort"
Not Exercised, Held
Wallace held that the 'defen
dants ' had not used reasonable
effort or that diligence required
to forward the consignments of
. freight to its ultimate destination.
"The plaintiffs were and are re
Quired to remove and transport
commodities consigned to them
from. Portland, from - defendant's
Salem terminal, to their place of

Power Plant Operation Will
HalU Council Decide Policy
The Salem -water commission
last night ordered operation ( ot
the department's hydroelectric
plant discontinued and referred
to the city council the problem
of its future use or sale. The or
der carried - with it abolishment
of the two remaining ditch pa
trolmen jobs and substitution of
a weekly patrol of the millrace
to preserve the city's water right.
The water department would
lose approximately $210 a month
if if kept the power plant la op
eration only to supply electricity
for the offices and shops build
ings. Manager Cuyler VanPtten
estimated. .Most of the expense
of operation has been in patroll
ing the mill race to keep the
stream high enough to run the
generator and yet at a level at
which it would not overflow and
damage private property.
The decision to reduce the
ditch patrol to a weekly -one was
made as a. result of a report that
the Oregon Pulp & Paper com
pany, part owner of the race,
had recently halted its part of
the patrol for a 10-day period.

Prospects of a Salem-Oregon
City high football game Thanks
giving day which might be billed
as for the mythical championship
of Oregon but would ' definitely
settle the western Oregon suprem
acy, loomed Friday after the Sa
lem Vikings squeezed safely past
the Silverton obstacle and Oregon
City demonstrated It was "big
league" as well as undefeated by
vanquishing Eugene 13 to 0.
In a, game in which even the
powder- of the blanks in the tim
er's gun got so wet that the last
straggler had cleared Sweetland
'lake" .before the gat finally re
sounded, the Vikings took a des
nltory win from the Silver Foxes
by a 13 to 6 count.
Coach Hauk's men must have
been saving up for a rainy day all
season, for they fumbled no less
than six times and recovered not
once.
It was only by dint of two long.
squishy runs by Salem's backfield
stars, Chapman and Nelson, that
the Vikings were able to splash
their way through the steady driz
zle into six-point port twice.
Chapman Runs 40
Yard, First Score
The first tally came on the
eighth play after, the opening
kickof f that Silverton received
Chapman used an effective, piston-like
crawd stroke to boom
through the Silver Fox line from
the Foxes' 40, and then 'swung in
to the rhythm of a smooth racing
stroke to cut down the south side
lines to land in Silverton harbor,
D. Christenson almost, cut him
down on the 20, but Crasher Carl
oozed on by. ,
While the Foxes proved poor
swimmers when it came to chalk
ing up first downs getting nary
a one they proved to be expert
retrievers, a la water spaniels In
stead: oi Foxes, ot the seven turn
bles of the ball, Silverton recov
ered exactly seven, six of Salem's"
and their own one and only.
Longer Scoring Run
Is Made by Nelson
Viking Nelson, in emulation of
co-partner Crasher Carl, took hold
of the. slippery pigskin on his
own 49 early In the second frame,
whipped through left tackle, re
versed his field and "waded" down
the north boundary line 51 yards
for Salem's second six-points.
Quarterback Myers didn't get the
opportunity of booting' the ball
from placement, as he did so ac
curately after touchdown number
one, because Chapman couldn
get it "placed,"
The Foxes, cunning gridders
that they turned out to be, kept
booting the pellet and recovering
fumbles until they finally got the
opportunity for which they were
louaing. j , .
Successive Fumbles
Help Foxes Score
' D. Christenson opened the final
period by hoisting a high kick
from his own 36 (as near as any
one could tell), which plummeted'
down on a Viking chest slightly
beyond mid-field and caromed off
to be recovered by a Fox as
usual. . v
