Southbound Flier Held up
Nearly 50 Minutes Jy :
Track's Blockade v
Number 23, Southern Pacific's
fast southbound flyer, was held
up between Church and Chemek
elta streets for nearly 50 minutes
last night, waiting for a black
walnut tree that had fallen acnm
the 12th street tracks to be clear
ed away. The flyer was due Into
the station at 7:19, and arrived
there at 8:17.
The roots of the tree had been
loosened, evidently, by the ditch
that is being dug by the Salem
water commission along 12th
street in which to lay water mains
for the state capitoi. building. Sat
urday's storm was ;a contributing
factor. Watchmen, jrovidd by the
commission to patrol the ditches
being dug, found the tree and flag
ged down the train.
A switch engine was run out
from the SP yards to pull the tree
out of the way after It had been
sawed in two, and Cnyler Van
Patten, Salem water commission
manager, took charge of hauling
it away.
According to watchmen patrol
Ing the ditches, and to a Southern
Pacific operator, other trees are
on the verge of falling but City
Mayor V. E. Kuhn has hesitated
to sign an order for their removal
without a recommendation of the

tion are along the parking strip ou
the west side of 12th street, and
are therefore under the Jurisdic
tion of the city, through the park
board.
Freighter in Distress
HAKODATE, Japan, Dec. 12-(Sunday)-(iip)-The

Maru broadcast a distress call to
day, reporting she was disabled in
a storm off the east cdast of Hok
kaido. cently seen their rations cut by
20 per cent.
In the United States, Dr. Kerr
said, 20 per cent of the nation's
wealth is rural and'" 18 per cent
of persons gainfully employed' are
farmers, yet during the past ten
years the farmers' average share
of the national income was below
10 per cent, although 75 per cent
of the raw materials entering into
the nation's commerce come from
the soil.
Ability of the farmer to mar
ket his products is quite as im
portant as his ability to pro
duce them, and it Is imperative
that the avenues of distribution
remain open and clear. Another
necessity to marketing is organ
ization and care to produce qual
ity crops.

Replacing West
Friesen Plans
To Start Soon
On Rebuilding
Cost Is Around $50,000
With Daily Capacity
of 30,000 Feet
Steel Construction may
Be Selected; Study
Made of Design
Preliminary arrangements for
construction of a new, modern
box factory in West Salem to re
place the plant- which burned
down November 20 were complet
ed yesterday, John S. Friesen,
proprietor of the Salem Box &
Manufacturing company an
nounced late! in the afternoon.
Based on a rough estimate
enly, the new plant's cost is set
at 850,000. Friesen said he ex
pected the ntew mill to be ready
for operation by March 1, to
time to go into heavy production
of berry crates and other ma
terlals for packing early fruit
crops.
The new mill will have the
same capacity as the one destroy
ed, 30,000 feet a day, but will
be more modern In construction
and better equipped, Friesen said
A two-etory structure covering at
least as much ground as the ola
one-story mill is contemplated.
Will Study Design
Of Other Plant : ,
Before it " is decided whether
the building will be of steel or
wood frame construction, Friesen
will make a tour of other north
west box plants to decide exact
ly what kind of structure and
equipment he will set up.
The Copeland lumber yard,
partly destroyed .by the same fire,
will be rebuilt on a smaller scale,
R. A. Meyer, manager, said yes
terday, but no definite plans will
be available until soon after the
first of the year. The Copeland,
firm recently purchased the
Cobbs-Mitchell retail yard at 349
South 12th street and Is now op
erating both that and the West
Salem business.
The Friesen mill In West Sa
lem was started in 1928 and oper
ated without a shutdown until
the fire occurred last month. Its
crew ranged from 50 to 75 men
and will be the same in the new
plant. ' Large quantities of boxes
and crates were shipped to Cali
fornia and eastern seaboard
plants as well as to packers in
the Pacific Northwest.
' The Friesen Millwork company
plant, which escaped the recent
tire, has been running as usual.

is 100 feet long, 80 feet deep,
and extends down the moun

SHANGHAI, Dec. 12-(Sunday)
- (JP) Three Japanese columns,

other Japanese forces threat enea
complete encirclement of China's
abandoned capital.
A Japanese thrust downstream
along the Yangtze imperiled the
last avenue of escape from Nan

mained Inside the walls.
Chinese early today said the
Japanese onslaught was being in

into battered Nanking.
One invading column was re

Tuesday, It was announced Sat

This reopening will terminate
a two "ks shutdown which of

cessary by the fact that purchas

per already- ordered, because of
business uncertainty. The cutting
off of the oriental trade was also
a factor. -
This was the second shutdown
this autumn. While company offi
cials have made no announcement
as to probable steadiness of op

shutdowns will be brief and that
steady production is probable af

ROME, Dec. ll-i)-Italy with
drew from the League of Nations
but announced her determination
to continue to collaborate tor

' The action, decided upon at a
seven-minute meeting of the fas
cist grand council, was proclaim
ed by Premier Benito Mussolini
frvm the balcony of the Palaxzo
Venezia.
One of the greatest crowds ev
er assembled In the vast square
in front of the palace, despite . a
heavy rain, roared its approval.
"Now we are on our own," he
shouted, "and depart without re
grets from the reeling ship where
they do not work for peace but
are preparing for war." -
Italy thus followed in the foot
Bteps of Germany, and Japan,
with whom she is joined in an
anti-communist pact, among the
leading nations to depart from
the league.
Membership in the league will
not end until two years after
formal notice of withdrawal but
Italy for more than a year has
pursued a ' policy of non-cooperation"
with Geneva. ' ,
This estrangement dated to
May, 1936, when the Italian del
egation walked out of a meeting
of the league council after It had
voted to continue sanctions
against Italy because of the Ethi
opian war.
Mussolini .was In a fighting
mood as he appeared upon the
balcony ot his , palace.
Arraigning the league In a vig

' "It is necessary to choose
whether to be in the league or
out of it."
Then he cried the question:
"1 it?"
"No!" answerel the multitude.
"Out of it?"
"Yes!" responded the throng.

Pharmacy Picketed With
Intent to Unionize
Registered Men ;
PORTLAND. Ore., Dec. 11-(jT)-Detective
Capt. John J. 'Keegan
ordered out shotgun-armed de
tectives today to combat what ho
said were union goon squads in
labor warfare.
His action followed announce
ment of the General Motors Sals
Corporations that it would; close
its distributing plant, which sells
$15,000,000 worth of automobile
and parts annually, rather than
risk injury to employes. Two men
were beaten yesterday.
Detective Capt. John J. Keegan
instructed his men to "pay par
ticular attention to beat-up cars,"
"and ordered them to use the guns
in effecting captures to ''stop tMs
lawlessness." t
A. A. Turner, zone manager for
the Chevrolet division of the Gen
eral Motors company, said 10
men would be thrown out of work
if the plant closed. He charged
the teamsters union put pickets
around the place when he refused
to deduct union dues from em
ployes' salaries.
The Doernbeeher Manufactur
ing company closed its furniture
plant, laying off 1500 workers
"until we get enough orders to
reopen." i
Frank Nau's big pharmacy was
picketed today in what was seen
as an opening wedge to unionise
druggists. Nau declared there was
no dispute with employes, who had
resisted unionization because "we
are recognized as professional
men." The union demanded $13 S
monthly for registered pharma
cists, with a 54-hour week; 967.50
to $112.50 for non-registered
clerks, and $67.50 to $90 for wo
men. Meantime, the Inman-Poulsen
Lumber company, where ClO mi

its previous crew of 600, laid off
