SETTLEMENT AT FRUIT GROWERS
This entire community will be well
pleased with the friendly settlement of mat
ters which have been In dispute between the
Eugene Fruit Growers Association and Can
nery Workers Union No. 23,031 because it
means that farmers, canners and all of us
can turn all our energies to this summer's
job of food pack.
There is no "victor" in this contest-except
the community, although both the union
and the canners are definitely gainers from
having found a mode of living and working
together:
1. The union is established In Its right to
function in this typs of cooperative Industry.
2. The union has the right to enroll any
worker who wants to Join the union, but no
worker (and this is very important to many
who are purely seasonal) may be required to
be a union member.
3. Common sense is followed in laying down
rules under which union organization work
may be carried on.
Past grievances are adjusted and cleaned
from the slate.
Perhaps the most important thing for
both sides is the discovery that such difficult
human matters can be settled around a table,
in the pattern of "give and take." We feel
that much credit is due to Lewis S. Penfield
and William H. Bartley, the representatives
of the National Labor Relations Board, be
cause their attitude has been constructive
and reasonable, and directed toward find
ing some basis of permanent understanding
in a rather special case.
Not at all like a labor dispute involving
a steel mill or an ordinary "hard boiled"
corporate enterprise is one which concerns a
community cooperative where the farmer
guides on the cannery in the planting and
harvesting of crops, and where hundreds of
people "pick up pin money" helping out with
the mid-season rush.
In this industry, the labor' union has its
function and its rights, but the boundaries
are difficult to determine, and this settle
ment says in effect that the union and the
management have decided to work together
and let experience fix those boundaries
jvhere they belong.
. . , There is reason to believe that the can
nery and the union will be able to work out
a relationship which will be constructive
and mutually profitable. At least we feel
sure that is the aim of Mrs. Bissell and Mrs.
Zllkoskl who have led the union through the
formative period.
All labor relationships become much eas
ier when the two sides discover that "the
other fellow doesn't wear horns." We think
everybody in Eugene and Lane county will
feel a certain satisfaction in this agreement
as evidence that "good will" lives here.
READER EDITORIAL
SPRINGFIELD ON DOG TROUBLES
SPRINGFIELD (To the Editor) My letter may
find a place in the waste paper basket, but I will
have the satisfaction of writing it, nevertheless.
Where is our dog catcher? Or do we have one? We
are sorely in need of one.
There will have to be something done about City
Folk, taking their unwanted flogs in the country,
and dumping them off, to the mercy of "us old
Hick Farmers." The country will be so populated
with stray dogs, people won't be able to raise sheep.
Shame on you, who will take little pups out in
the country, dump them by the highway to starve;
if you don't want them, why shove them on some
one else, who does not want them either?
If there was a license of say $25.00 put on fe
male dogs, our country wouldn't be so run over with
stray dogs.
I like a dog; I am not a dog hater, but I like a dog
in Its place. I have seen some people keep one or
two dogs, when they couldn't buy milk for their
little children.
There have been three dogs dumped at our place,
all within twenty-four hours. Thanks Pal, but wa
didn't, and still don't want them. We were lucky
enough to find a good home for one of the little
"orphans" but we are still walUng for the dog catch
er to come and relieve us of the other two. The peo
ple who so kindly dumped the two little black cock
er spaniels out, first threw out a sack ot scraps, then
shoved the dogs out. I wasn't close enough to get
their license number or else I might look them up
and Invite them to come and get them.
The next day I called by phone, Who J thought
might have some authority on what I should do
about them. This party told me to call some one else
and I was sent from one to another, till I had call
ed six different numbers and then didn't find out
anything.
Let's have some action on this dog situation, as
it's getting to be a serious matter. Let's stop this
dog "dumping." There should be a penalty on it,
and lay it on. and DON'T suspend the sentence;
there are too many sentences suspended already.
My opinion differs very much from Mr. Tunnel
of Madison St. Now that everyone is doing his, or
her bit by raising as much of their living as they can,
on what space of ground they have, they can't have
I bunch of dogs running through their garden.
Mr. Tunnel also mentioned that a dog doesn't
destroy gardens; you are mistaken, they do not
wallow It down, but do you want to eat lettuce,
cabbage and such, after a dog has been running
through It? You can house break a dog, but you can
never garden break him, no matter how smart your
dog Is.
I think there should be a thinning of dogs in
Eugene, but I don't think they should be dumped
out for the farmer! to be pestered with.
We farmer buy licenses for our dogs, but If they
get to killing sheep, or destroying things, they gen
erally get shot And no questions asked. I say If
people in town can't afford to buy a dog chain, or
fencing for their dog. along with the license, they
are in no financial circumstances to keep a dog.
I think any on who aver saw a dog die torn
poisoning would be very heartless to poison one, as
it is a terrible death.
Yes, I have also heard of dogs saving human
lives. I bave also heard of dogs killing humans;
which we are glad to mention doesn't happen often;
they are noted as being a "man's friend."
Let's do ail we can to combat this "DUMPING"
of dogs.

WASHINGTON LETTER
By JOHN W. KELLY
WASHINGTON, D. C, April 21IN a series of
carefully tabulated statistics office of price admin
istration has itemized how much deeper raUoning
can go if the war continues sufficienUy long to re
strict consumption. For the time being this docu
ment is on ice but ready to be brought out and put
into effect without more than an overnight warn
ing, as is now being done with ration book No. 2.
Some hints have leaked 'out concerning certain
items, but in the main the minimum amount pro
posed for the civilian population is very much
hush-hush.
For instance, the program calls for no more
passenger boats or cars; no paper handkerchiefs, no
film for the camera, no jewelry, no tombstones,
98. 1 per cent of the clocks and watches cut out, and
88.6 per cent of the electrical apliances, together
with 87.5 per ent of radios and 86 per cent ot cart
ridges for sportsmen and 80 per cent of fishing
gear. Of sewing machines, refrigerators and wash
ing machines 96.3 per cent will be eliminated and
75 per cent of batteries and flashlights.
Only Christmas cards will be manufactured, and
not many of these. Paper for wrapping will be re
duced 90 per cent, and paper towels for the house
hold are to be cut 75 per cent. .The "professors"
place small importance on newspapers and recom
mend that 60 per cent of newsprint (based on
needs of 1930) can be eliminated and the pulp
magazines stripped of 80 per cent of their supply.
Playing cards can be reduced 30 per cent and
matches 80 per cent.
Repeatedly it has been asserted that clothing
will not be rationed, but a general chop of 36 per
cent is on the charts. As everyone knows, OPA has
already stepped into this field and given explicit
directions on what frills must be eliminated by the
dressmakers from zippers to length of hem, and
notwithstanding inferior quality of goods the prices
are soaring. Shoes are listed for a reduction of 31.6
per cent and personal furnishings down 72.7 per
cent. Household furniture can be cut 72.7 per cent,
report the economists, and floor covering 87.2 per
cent.
IN the fuel line briquets are slated for a reduc
tion of 59 per cent and wood for 18 per cent. It is
calculated that 57,000,000 cords of wood will be suf
ficient to cook with and warm a house to 60 de
grees. And it is figured that the people can survive
if their food Is reduced 30 per cent, with tea cut 50
per cent, coffee 35 per cent and beer 35 per cent.
One per cent of distilled liquor, and this for medi
cal purposes, will suffice, according to one chart.
Soap can be subject to a reduction of 33 per cent
To save on electric light globes it is proposed
that the bulbs be rationed so many to a dwelling.
Through limitation of globes OPA indirectly con
trols the total of electric power that can be used
in the northwest, where power is as abundant as
water.
Such is the picture of what the rationing boys
have in mind. They are now "inching" toward
some of these goals.
JAPANESE have in the files of their military
intelligence complete accounts of the imposing
dams in Columbia river at Bonneville and Grand
Coulee. Prior to Pearl Harbor all manner of en
gineering reports and Bonneville press releases
were available to the embassy attaches housed at
3700 Massachusetts avenue, N. W. These docu
ments gave complete coverage of .the size of the
dams, generating capacity of the turbines, direction
taken by the transmission systems, the substations
and the cost of these government enterprises. Plus
these documents, Japanese aliens In the northwest
were free to circulate and gain first-hand knowledge
of the plants.
Notwithstanding all of this readily accessible
data, an official of the federal power commission
proposed to exclude the press from a hearing re
quested by Washington Water Power Co., on the
excuse that the evidence might reveal information
of a military nature. The hearing grew out of the
controversy between the private power company on
the one hand and the Bonneville administration
and the federal power commission on the other. A
military establishment and a hospital Invited bids
for power and the private company made a lower
bid than Bonneville. Next, federal power commis
sion directed that the private company "wheel"
Bonneville energy over the company's lines, nl
through the private company claimed that its own
bid would save the government thousands of dol
lars a year. Incidentally, the officer holding the
hearing, an employe of federal power commission,
refused to consider that the revenues of the private
utility would be subject to taxation while Bonne
ville would not contribute a red nickel in taxes.

A girl writes: "My friend, Mary, and I are sten
ographers. We applied for positions with the
Bovernment; preferably, something a long way from
home. We were successful, and
were first sent to Edmonton, Al

fill out a bale of forms. The shots

"Almost undone by this attention, Mary and I
finally fell aboard a train bound for points North
west. We got to Edmonton on Christmas eve, and
as an intial adventure, friends took us to see the
famous "Short Snorters." I lost $7, which my
mother would have said served me right.
"Later, we were taken for a sleigh ride. I got
tossed in a snow bank in my one-half-pald-for fur
coat. While in Edmonton, we also ice-skated, and
ate the most wonderful steaks at the King Edward
hotel.
"From Edmonton, we were sent on to Sksgway.
As there was no dock space when we arrived, we
turned circles In the bay for 24 hours until there
was room for our boat at the wharf.
"Hotels were crowded, with guests constantly
arriving and departing. Which may account for

my head. I looked up, and there stood a strange
soldier Just looking at me! I soon talked him out
ot the room; then braced chair under the door

it was 3 degrees below rero. We refused to type
until it was 34 degrees. That was 2 in the after

hearing from me is like getting a message from the
"Great Beyond." She shouldn't worry, for we have
a lot of fun. With a reverse population like this
lot of men, few women a girl can have an hilari
ous time. And the men are all grand fellows, really."
Every letter I get from either men or women in
service, is a gay and happy one. In the face of such
consistent cheerfulness on the part ot those who
are actually facing the hardships of war, we, who
remain at home, can do no less than maintain an
equally lighthearted front. K they can take it,

Mayonnaise is not rationed. Use
it frequently to give extra appeal

Combine mayonnaise, onion

Although salad oils are rationed.
they are important foods. A lem-
