I 1UIU U1C jtF J to the motor Industries of Michigan and thence to otber parts of the country. The rubber unions are viu ana iney nave worked to unionize all workers in Akron. I , p.r a Wnn'c licfroac ! its Kiaraliis labor., The rubber factories have decentralized parts of the country. This diminishes trie volume nere. uioor 53tving machinery has displaced other workmen, i Iuring the depression wage cuts were severe, and much unemployment persists. But in the intoxication f new-found power and with the friendly nod of public authorities the new onions usurped authority in their surge to power. Prolonged strikes were ac companied by terrorism. Settlements were broken by frequent stoppages of work for trivial causes or no cause at all. Hood lums operated without restraint much as they did in Oregon. There has been a definite reaction. A year ago a CIO candidate for mayor, running on a platform of "no interfer ence by police or courts with union activities" was defeated. This spring the assurance of local and state authorities that workers would receive protection brought on early capitula tion by workers in an irresponsible strike. i Last night I attended an address by Gerald L. K. Snuth in the city armory. Smith was a Huey Long lieutenant and is described now as a "rabble-rouser of the night." He is arous ing his hearers with eulogies of the "flag, the Bible and the constitution." He went on to attack and condemn Russia, communism, the 10, John L. Lewis, etc, I was particularly interested in the crowd some 5000 which packed the armory and overflowed outside. It was middle class, many women, a good many young people, though mostly mature folk, few for eign types. It was responsive and friendly but not riotous. The significance was that that many people turned out iivthis city which CIO has dominated to applaud the attacks on Lew is and the "false friends of labor" as a local speaker said. There is a tension in Akron which is instantly felt. Bus iness men fear further loss of industry to Akron and blame it on labor troubles largely. The general recession and the local fears have badly injured retail business. Workers protest that the rubber factories brought them here, and if the factor ies move, the workers should be taken along. So Akron is as one man said : the "guinea pig" for industrial America. A CIO executive replying by radio to Smith made a plea for respon sibility rather than agitation. That is the only hope I can see and the unions must stop the quickie strikes land the sit downs and the usurpation of civil authority. j Relief is an acute problem In factory centers.- Cleveland's situation is worst, with some 30 percent on government aid of one kind or another. No cash has been available for food or ders for some time only federal-supplied commodities. The "legislature is meeting to hunt for funds with one house pro posing borrowing on pledge of certain receipts lip to 1944 which Js -certainly gambling on the future. Business people blame everything on the man in the White House, but many workers, still think they do not need to worry about jobs or old age-that FDR will take care of them. The, whole situa tion is unstable and no wonder the recession deepens into de pression my host calls it "repression." ' I . - f - C. A. S. i ' ; Power on Aiming at the November election, a concentrated public power campaign is going on in the Puget Sound district, with proposals to create public utility districts in all the counties rs&erved hy the Puget Sound Power & Light company. Ten I such districts already exist, but King county, in which Seattle is situated, and Pierce county, of which Tacoma is the county seat, are unorganised. ! J. D. Ross, who is superintendent of Seattle's Depart ment of Light as well as administrator of Bonneville power, is one of the leaders in this movement. One of his objectives is the pooling of existing power systems in that district and eventually of Bonneville and Grand Coulee, but his primary purpose Is to eliminate the big power company as a competitor of his publicly owned Seattle system. It is generally agreed that this competition, whereby his department has not man- aged to obtain all of the power business in Seattle, is the principal reason public power has meant little aving in rates ! to users there. The publicly owned system has forced down the- rates of the power company to meet the competition, but neither offers rates at all comparable to j those of the Tacoma publicly owned system. 1 In order to get the power company out of the picture, Ross needs the power -districts to take over the company's . rural service, as Seattle cannot buy the entire far-flung sys tern. Washington is much more public-power ! minded than Oregon, but it will be interesting to note whether the Puget Sound people will take to this Father's For many years it has been customary to observe Moth er's day on the second Sunday in May. Father's day, which is today, was something of an afterthought. In some quarters there are suspicions that Father himself is more or less of an afterthought in the family group, but let: us not dwell upon that prospect on this happy occasion. j! Numerous gifts have been purchased for Father in the last few days and he will be duly .grateful today, registering just as much surprise as though he didn't realize that son or daughter made a special "touch" recently and that this must be the result There we go, sounding cynical about it again. - - Ivl ; T - We don't mean to be cynical. After all, "man wants but little here below." Some poet said itj but it's a fact. When Father was a boy he wanted candy, but didn't have the neces sary small change in his pocket. Now he has the small change, but candy doesn't agree with him. About, the biggest favor that Father could ask would be the companionship and con fidence of his children. That he doesn't always have them is rather more than a minor tragedy, a loss on both sides, and apparently nobody s fault in Commissioner J. E. Bennett ot Portland says the housing act Is "unadulterated communism the very essence of communism." Com ing from some other person more subject to suspicion ot economic royalism, tbe statement would draw immediate fire as Inspired by un wi 11 in guess to help the unfortunate. One advantage in haying people like Bennett around is that their word carries weight when they do balk at the excesses of liberalism." - I - - - - i It's reported that the salmon run in the Columbia has finally started, cereral weeks late. And are the fishermen duly grateful? Of course not. They consider it an imposition of fate that they have been Wld up all this time.

And this morning a lady, processing inter est in the schools, urged me to vote lor Percy Capper .because 2m was antagonistic t the health clanic! Why do people wilfully mis lead! .3 years ago Percy Cupper was elected to the school directo rate, and at that time,- made ft very plain that he would give un stinted support to the health clinic. . With this thought In mind, when a vacancy occurred on the directorate of the clinic, what did Percy Cupper, as chairman of of the school board recommend Percy Cupper recommended our respected citizen. Dr. Leon Bar Tick to fill tbe yacancy. It is very apparent that had Percy Cupper .held the views that this lady is spreading from door-ts-door, the appointment would not have gone to a member of the medical profession. The truth is, Percy Cupper Is doing a big work lor the Salem schools. When one endeavors to place the schools on a business like basis, there Is a natural dis comfiture Among the -highly-paid officialdom, whose first consider ation Is the security ot their ap pointments. t It would hi. a fatal' mistake not to reelect Percy Cupper.

The US is issuing four this rarjxfh Canada a new series very soon. and In Europe German stamps are being used lu Austria. Now that the Austrian stamp plates have been destroyed ;the? value of Austrian stamps is going up, especially In tho newest issues.

Do you suppose in all the world there is a man like that? - There are many people in these days who stop aad read the bul letins on the front of Salem, real estate offices. . Now and thn a family a young man. his wife and two or three children. A majority of I'ese readers of real estate bulletins are, so the real tors tell me, without appreciable capital. Good citizens tor the most part, broken away for better or for worse from regions where they have not been doing well and where conditions were in many respects unpleasant. Fear shows in the eyes of none of them. Chances must fee taken. Venture nothing, have nothing. There is, I think, net much ques tion that they will eventually rejoice In the , decision that brought them . here. Some ot us possess the ele ments which go to the making of what the world terms success. Others have net. I find, looking back along the trail I have fol lowed Urrongh the years, few evidences of my possession of these elements. I have made the mistake if it be a mistake of making no protest when my com panions, "toiling upwards through the- night," did their grabbing. I am not saying this boastfully. There is nothing In It to war rant even one small boast. But one day during tbe week I saw in Commercial street a man, a woman and three small children, plainly venturers in a new land. They were well clad. Tire chil dren were dancing happily along, with no thoughts in their : small minds to question the infallibil ty ef their parents. I saw in a glance at the faces . of the, man and woman, hope and determin ation. But I saw also uncertain ty, the shadow of doubt. And Lb ere came to my mind another family, much like this, who walked on Oommorcial ' street ong summer day 28 years ago; and who, I am sure, never seri ously regretted their coming. And this thought brings up the sub ject of fraternity. For, although I made no men tion ot it, not quite knowing what to say. X distinctly felt a spirit of fraternity; a heart in terest, when I set eyes upon this family of newcomers. There were they as once ws had been. I was sitting one sunny afternoon on the end of a small and somewhat shaky wharf that jutted Into the water of Karragansett bay. I was engaged la the pleasant occupa tion of wasting time, which the angling for small flat fish of a bony nature amounted to, when an aged sailor landed from a small boat nearby and bore down en the wharf where I was fish ins. Across the stern of his boat was painted the nsme "Fratern- LJ u uuu uuu u uu u uu .British Royal Naval Air Forw Explorer Traveler V ! if ' ; ; ' .-; . ' irii'nt-- - mi ' W. Scott, Greyhound's Radio Him Today at 10:15 MUTUAL BROADCASTING SYSTEM K S L M "Voice of the Capital City" em ates - - - ity. We had a long talk of a re miniscent nature, or perhaps it would be more nearly correct to say that he had a long talk and I had a long listen. But I did manage to edge in a question suggested by the name of his boat. "What' 1 Inquired, "is the meaning of fraternity?' "Well." he replied. "It's like this. . There's friendship that ain't exactly . friendship and there's affection that ain't ex actly affection. It comes from havin' been engaged in strugg lin for a "Common cause. It's just a feelln', that's all. ItUi a common interest in the affairs" of life, a common experience that sometimes brings you closer to a man than you ever get to your own fle&h and blood." i "W ell, this meeting with the family of newcomers was not so serious as that, but it had in It, I think, something of the same sentiment. . There is a story of a Salem girl who went to live with an aunt In Boston. One day a young man whom she' had never seen before was putting coal into tbe basement. During his stay on the premises he accidentally drop ped a letter from his pocket. The girl picked up the letter and re ismed it to him. "This letter it postmarked Salem, Oregon," she said. "Are you from Salem?" "Yes'm," he replied. The girl kissed him. ""Gosh! he gasped "I've sure got a way with the women!" "Don't flatter your self," she snapped. -"I'd kiss a dog from Salem. , Weather report 'Sunbeam Soup." for the week: perhaps we do not worry so much ' " as perhaps we really ehould. But there ain't much good in anything in which - there ain't much good. After a comfortable night's rest, some folks report that they slept like a baby." Others re port thai they "slept like a log." The log report Is, of the two,- the more positive in its nature. A log Invariably sleeps soundly. A baby does not. I have known babies, apparently normal in all other resptcs, that were natural night birda.- Possibly a trait in herited from some ancestor whose way ft was to devote bis nights to pursuits of a yippish charac ter and his days to .slumber.
