Question of Picket Prohibition
To Be Argued Before Court
"Whether or not Oregon courts have the power to prohibit
picketing in jurisdictional disputes is to be argued before the
state supreme court on January 6 at a hearing of the case of
Markham & Callow, a Washington logging corporation operating
in Clatsop county, against several
CIO International Woodworkers
of America locals.
The ! company signed a union
shop contract with the AFL Lum
ber and Sawmill Workers union
on March 26, 1941, the contract
requiring that the company's few
CIO employes either join the AFL
or be discharged. When 33 CIO
members refused to sign up with
the AFL, they were discharged.
and the CIO union picketed the
company's Clatsop county logging
operation.
When AFL workers refused to
pass the .picket line and 'forced
the company , to cease operations,
the company obtained an, injunc
tion from Circuit Judge R. Frank
Peters in Clatsop county, the In
unction, prohibiting the picket
ing, being issued last January IS.
The CIO unions appealed.
The ' CIO unions contend that
Judge Peters had no authority to
issue the injunction, the law -prohibiting
the - issuance of injunc
tions in bona fide 'labor disputes.
But the company charges that the
affair was not a labor dispute,
being merely a quarrel between
two unions. It could not be a la
bor dispute, the company claims.
because the company was living
up to Its con tract, with the AFL
union, which had been certified
as the bargaining agency by the
national labor relations board.
The CIO unions further con
tend that the injunction deprives
them of the right of free speech.
picketing being an exercise of this
right -The company answered that
the right of free speech is sub
ject to limitations. .
The -unions also deny that the
union shop contract compelled the
discharge of the CIO workers.

of college courses .in science, and
related subjects would be in ef
fect at Willamette He said that
questionnaires concerning the un
iversity's facilities ifor wartime
training programs have been re
turned to Washington, DC, and

ette's fullest cooperation.

to the university the current prob
lems of each successive period,
and with the problems, the cour

successively."

"We had to call out an extra

thought, to the mail being piled

being forwarded to local points.
"We've been caught up with it
every night, though," he con
tinued. Up. to the day after Christmas,
a total of 84,000 more letters had
cleared the Salem postoffice for
December, 1942, than during that
month in 1941. Final figures for
the month have not yet been com
