Page Two THE REGISTER-GUARD, EUGENE, OREGON LEAD TO DISPUTE (CONTINUED FROM PAGE I) in the district all paid up, of whom only three were not lumber workers. Both sides litve out Moure& Hutei snid tbeir records showed 65 union members out of 60 employed in the Chambers woods and 17 out of 72 employed in the Chambers mill 141 out of the total of 1H1 men em ployed In the Woodard operation; 23 out of 25 in the Bohemia woods and 4 out of 45 fn the Bohemia mill. The rest of the 3u9 paid up members, he sars, come mainly from four other wills in the district, which are not Involved In the strike, their policies being: considered satisfactory for the present. ' On the other side William Garoutte for the Bohemia mill said only 22 out of 26 woods employes were affected and only 4 out of 55 in the mill; for the Chambers comnnrjy, J H. Cham bers said his records showed only 35 out of 09 in the woods affected anl only feven out of 84 in the mill. For the Woodard concern, F. W. Blickle made this statement: "Inasmuch as we are not operating we have no accurate check as to how many are on strike. The morning the strike started we blew the starting whistle. Many employes were on hand to go to work, while many were not. Because there were not enough to op crate the plant completely, we closed .down." Union Makes 'Statement For the union, Fred I lot is gave out Thursday this prepared statement: The dispute between mill operators nd the union is not such as to pe clude early settlement of the strike, according to union officials of the Rawmill and Timber Workers Union, No. 2627, A. F. L Cottage Grove. Wsge demands submitted to em ployers average approximately 30 per cent under the Portland and pa cific coast schedules, this differen tial made necessary by reason of additional freight which inland mills must assume. In addition to wage demands which begin with a 50 cents the hour mini mum, and which represents a small increase from 2 cents to 5 cents over that now being paid by employ era, they are demanding recognition of the union, a forty hour maximum working week with time ane one half for overtime.' This does not mean that the employer Is compelled to furnish a full 'Working week of 40 hours. It means that the em ployers agree not to work their men for more than 40 hours In any one I week, unless they are willing to pay I time and one-half for overtime be yond the maximuxm 40 hour week. I The reason for this demand Is that will have a tendenry to fnrnish employment to a greater number of men, aince employers are not apt to ' pay for overtime and will put additional men to take care of any business where additional work necessary. , Another much disputed point which la not perfectly clear to the average reader is the demand for union rec ognition. Recognition of the union doea not mean a closed shop. It merely indicates that the employer agrees to bargain collectively with tht union ao long a It represents the majority of the employes. It does not exclude non-union men from ob talnlng employment. - Latest word from Portland Is that Mr. Marsh, federal mediator, will be sent hero aome time during the week. Mr. Marh was largely respon sible for the settlement of the strike at Tacoma, where employers signed an agreement with the union effect ing a complete settlement of all diffi culties Involved. 8o elated were both employers and employes of the Tacoma area with settlement of their difficulties that a big picnic waa staged at Pt. Defiance park where both employers and em ployes participated. jyo JTl I Housewives- fl LUMBEBMEH HERE BACK PROMOTIOII I (Continued From Pag a 1) casserole and put It tn oven till It browns lightly on top.

Mr. Palmer's resignation was entirely unexpected by the board and that no one at all was being considered to fill post A meeting of the church will be held soon to look for a new pastor. "It Is with deepest regret that we received Rev. Mr. Palmer's resig nation," said Mr. Tbeda. "and his departure will not only be felt keenly by the church members but by the whole community." Ho came from Pullman, Wash., here be was pastor for five years. receding that ho was pastor of a community church at Spntgue, Wash,, for three years. Rev. Mr. Palmer took his college. work at tionzngu college, Spokane, being the first Protestaut to graduate from that institution. Ho took his post j the university of Chicago and the Chicago Theological seminary. N bile In Eugene, Itev.

A. board. The Palmers have three children, Marian, Sherwood and Bruce. Itev. Mr. Palmer will take over his work at Walla Walla as early in Sep timber as possible. which is eipected to get in full swing this fall. "We may not win that battle,'' sa: Col. Greeley, "but even if we do not win we can feel that we have mad great headway with our case. The major railroads both east an dwest of Chicago have, been sold on the propo sition and that is a great step for ward: Col. Greely also outlined the prompt steps being taken to meet the efforts of Canadian importers to break down the $5 excise tax on heavy timbers, citing this situation as ilustrating th need of constant co-operation It was a hopeful picture Col. CrMey painted for the lumbermen, "We are not a dead or dying indus try," be said, "It is true we shall have to meet the aggressive sales tactics of the makers of lumber substitutes by oppressive action to sell lumber. W shall have to meet the competition of fabricated bousing, but we have a ma terial second to none, and the out look is for the best trade in years If we work together." Col. Greely explained bow the use of new "ring couplings" has brought almost' overnight a tremendous new demand for structural timbers. He showed pictures of a new radio tower in Virginia, the highest structure of its kind in the world, made of tim bers, considered superior to any other structure of the kind because of its natural Insulating finalities. "We have already had Inquiries from 35 big radio stations for such struc tures, he said. The promotion campaign will be supported by a voluntary levy of 4 cents a thousand on all logs and 4 cents a thousand on all lumber cut by members. Efforts are being made to bring all separate Jogging concerns and also all lumber wholesalers Into co-operation. The assessment is some what lower than originally planned due to industry losses during the strike, but Col. Greeley snid he believ ed it would be ample to get the cam paign well under way. In a round-robin discussion of the program many of those present ex pressed the opinion that the promotion assessment was too ow. All agreed that aggressive action was needed. Reports of members shows present orders on the decline generally, but most mills of operation confidently expecting a big fol pickup. Col. Greeley said that although the government program had been slow in starting the cost encouraging factor was the big natural increase In pri vately financed Homebuilding through out the country.

Traveling at high speed (many miles per second) they become luminous at heights of about 70 miles when heat ed by friction in our atmosphere and are consumed before reaching the earth. Karly In the evening Peraens will bo low In the sky a little east of north; by dawn It will be nearly over head. It will not be necessary to look toward Perseus to set the meteors. Fine ones may be seen in all parts of the, sky. They all more, however, in such directions ss to "seem" to have come from Perseus. The best displays will be seen after midnight yet evening observations are often quite Interesting. The term "meteor shower" leads many to expect too much. At the time ox maximum display about 7U per honr fa the average to be expected. Some express disappointment be cause very few are seen. One may walk around and glance at the sky a great deal and yet not 'seem to have very good results. As each meteor laats only a fraction of a second, It can easily be missed if one is not giv ing constant attention to the sky. In order to see the most, certain rules must be observed: Watch after midnight. Seat yourself in a reclinine chair so that' you can easily watch a section of the sky from the zenith to the horizon. Get away from city lights, f Bright moonlight also inter feres). Keep your eyes constantly on the sky. All who have systematically watch ed the Perseids are familiar with their tendency to come in bunches, Often none will be seen for five min utes or more than several during the next minute or two. Last year 15 minutes elapsed at one time without the sight of one. Then suddenly very brilliant one gave the signal for re newed activity. Several times four or five were seen in one minute. Once three came in less than 10 seconds. It will be noticed that the meteors which are seen the farthest from Per seus sweep over longer arcs of sky than those nenrer. Last year one was seen right in Perseus. It seemed to have practically no motion but just a sudden brightening. It was coming di rectly toward the observer. ine most meteors will be seen on the nights starting August 10, 11 and 12. Some may be seen several nights before and after these dates. Last year the best came on the morning of August 12. The writer counted those seen in the southeast quarter of the sky for two hours each on the mornings of August 12 and 13. The first morning 114 meteors were seen; the next, only 72 a decided falling off. It is likely that this year the best evening counts may be made August 11: the best morning. August 12. Bright moonlight will interfere dur ing the evening and blot out nil but the brighter ones. On the morning of August 11 the moon will set shortly fter 1 a. m.: the next morning, about an hour later. The aky will thus be dark both mornings for some time be fore dawn. The American ' Meteor Society (headquarters at the University of Pennsylvania) is always glad to get hourly counta of these pieteors. Pos tal enrd reports sent to the writer at the University of Oregon in Eugene will be appreciated. Texaa baa the largest number of municipal airports 55.
