'Phone Strike a Loss Telephone workers can mark their telephone strike down as a loss. The NFTW has capitulated on its prime demand lor nationwide negotiations and told individual unions to make the best deal they cant with the telephone companies. -They are proceeding to do just that, in fact some had begun to do so before the heads of NFTW announced the retreat. : It was a mistake m strategy for the young federation, composed of a wide variety of immature unions to demand a single negotiation and a single settlement. The- Bell system was too strong to be overthrown in its insistence on negotiation by regional companies. It proved able through the loyalty of many non-union employes and a few others who went through the picket lines to maintain a fair -service both for local and long distance. Union members couldn't , hold out forever. The settlements that are being made are on the basis of a small increase; email in comparison with Increases in manu facturing industries. They -surely could have been realized earlier by direct negotiation; and arbitration on the ' basis offered, by the company might have yielded more. I- Perhaps the worst result of the strike is the breakdown in good relations with the company. The defeated strikers will be unhappy as they figure up their lost wages. They may be resentful of their supervisors who kept the service going or of the leaders who called the workers out. It will take a long time for the company to heal the wounds caused by this breach in employment. That is' unfortunate all around, j If the experience teaches the lesson of the virtue of col lective bargaining with a will . to achieve a bargain it may justify the huge losses incurred by workers and the company and the inconvenience to the public in an essential service. Raniariier Wins Support Following up the comment in this column Tuesday about the ousting of the communists from the cabinet of Premier Ramadier, of France: The national council of the socialist party has ratified the action of the party heads, which means a sharp break with the extreme left Ramadier and Leon Blum carried the day with their appeals for support. The latter, once sharply criticized for his ineptness while head of the "popular front" government of pre-war France, is emerging as something of a sa vkrr of parliamentary government for his country, and of its independence from communist absorption. j Threatened is a communist-supported strike throughout France, but with this -vote of -confidence the Ramadier govern ment will stand up to that threat. It may well be that In this passing of a political crisis by the Ramadier government, France also has passed a crisis, one which threatened to plunge that country into full subservience to Moscow, or even into civil strife. Communist defeat in France should strengthen the anti communist front in Italy, and thus weld the nations of western Europe together on a general political program. From the Amer ican standpoint that is highly important as we carry out the Truman doctrine" of facing Russia down with money and (if necessary J atom bombs. A Pioneer Passes - Edward Croisan, who passed away Tuesday at (he age of 82, was one of the few surviving first-generation descendants of Oregon pioneers. His father came to Oregon in 1848. His life spanned the whole period of Oregon statehood, and in Oregon's growth and development, he played a by no means inconspicuous part. He alternated the holding of public office with farming, but is best remembered as county - sheriff of Marios county, state senator and as collector of customs for two terms. :- t . .;':.- Until infirmities of age overtook him he kept abreast of the times, especially in politics, and his mind was well stored with interesting facts of characters and events in the state's political history. His leadership was felt in civic affairs, and; buildings like the old high school and the Masonic temple represent part of his effort in community guidance. Length of years was given to him, and recognition in a variety of ways; and to his city, county and state he gave a full measure of loyalty. j . - -. ; v If the coming Salem Cherry festival is to have a queen we propose the contest be decided on. which girl can bake the best cherry pie. Can she bake a cherry pie, Billy boy?" But prob ably the judges will pick the one with the cherry lips. A California convict who" eluded capture at Klamath :Falls has been arrested in Arkansas. A local policeman shot him in the leg. That's a quick way to bring a man down, equal to winging a bird. . Bank clearings at Eugene went through the roof in March and for the first quarter of the year. That isn't surprising, con sidering the prices they have been charging for lumber trp there. ?

A further, step Jn progress would be some form -of recipro city, Sa which foreign Journalists would get to spend a year study ing the American scene and its press. That ought to have value too. Perhaps the new Pulitzer ex periment may be foUowed by this other. - Spokesmen for American news papers and press associations harp much on the need of a tree press. This is important but by no means a lubricant for all the world's frictions. Our journalists should do more talking and much more acting toward a better press fairer, more accurate, less sen sational. The Interchange of serious-minded students of journal ism should bear fruit in a better press, with resulting good to ciety.
