NLRB CHECKED AGAIN
The United States circuit court decision setting aside an
NLRB order which voided a closed shop contract between the
A. F. of L. and a Portland woodworking company should be
as pleasing to labor as to the employer. Without binding con
tracts union labor would be in a sorry plight indeed. If a
union contract could be cancelled at the whim of an adminis
trative agency it would hardly be worth while for either side
to enter into it.
V- NLRB, in its order, took into consideration neither good
liiw nor good faith. What it did was to endeavor to set up as
a principle that part of the membership of a union may cancel
a contract which the union has authorized and extended and
may force a new contract substituting the name of a new union
Which they had joined.
Collective bargaining, in which a labor organization ne
gotiates with the employer as to conditions of employment
and terms of pay, has come to be accepted as one of labor's
most precious rights. Such bargaining is customarily done
through an oflicial or committee to whom representative
power has been delegated. But. while it is a precious right, it
carries with it definite obligations. When an agreement is
reached it is understood that it will be kept by both parties to
it. The parties are the union, the organization (not its indi
vidual members), and the employer.
The woodworking company, reaching such an agreement,
had every reason to believe that it would be observed until its
terminal date. The union had equal right to expect full ob
servance for the same period of time. Had the company ac
cepted cancellation because part of the union membership had
seceded, even though that part constituted a large majority,
it would have broken faith with the contracting union, which
Continued to function as a legal organization.
" The NLRB ordered such a breach and, in the ordering,
nhowed a sublime indifference to the established code of
honorable dealing on which the law has its foundation.
THE PARDONING POWER
Senator Ashby Dickson's joint resolution to withdraw the
governor's power to pardon first degree murderers and second
offenders was introduced in the wrong year. At the beginning
of the present legislative session Oregon's new governor,
Charles A. Sprague, had given convincing demonstration that
in his hands the pardoning power, which includes the power
of reprieve, was in safe hands. Despite tremendous pressure
which was brought to bear upon him he permitted a convicted
murderer to go to the gas chamber. The legislature, with this
episode fresh in mind, could hardly have been expected to pass
Senator Dickson's resolution.
And yet that resolution was deserving of passage. Execu
tive pardoning power is frequently abused, and we need look
no farther to have evidence of it than in the records of Oregon
governors of not many years ago. The opportunity for such
abuse should be eliminated and, in fairness to the executive,
the system should be revised so that one man should not be
made to shoulder the heavy responsibility of deciding between
life and death.
Delegation of this responsibility to a pardoning board
would be preferable.
In its recently issued annual report the Pacific Telephone
and Telegraph Company states that in five years its payrolls
have increased $20,212,765 or 59.2 per cent. The company's
taxes in 1938 were up $1,402,443 or nine per cent over 1937.
In five years taxes increased 68.9 per cent. Had no such in
crease in taxation occurred it is reasonable to assume that the
public might have benefitted by lower rates and increased
employment. That, it seems to us, would have been better
than the payment of high taxes.

ADVENTUKOUS FOOD
(Pcnrllclon East Orcsonian)
Eating should be an exciting ad
venture, not a tedious chore, asserts
William Allen While, distinguished
editor of the Emporia Gazette and
author of A Puritan in Babylon, in
the current Hotarian Magazine. De
spite a career chnekful of journalistic
and political activities, he has noted
the gastronomic interests of his con
temporaries, even serving as the
chairman of the menu committee of
the Rotary club in Emporia, Kansas.
"The average man off the street
sits down before his food and cats it
like a dog, generally not knowing
what he is eating, which is my idea
of o culinary mistake. For food al
ways should be an adventure, and a
wide dietary range is a sign of wide
culture," declares America's number
1 country editor. Any man who eats
luncheons ranging from rice and
curry lo rare bccfslcak and fresh
mushrooms, he believes, will be iust
u Mile more civilized for having
varied nis diet.
Vet the average American buiine
til- professional man kicks like a bay

ments the sage of Emporiu. "TliLi
comes, of course, from fool women
trying to doll up food like land
scaping! I mean the kind of women
who put punly ruffles on inultun
uhups and lay silly red stripes of
pimento across salad and make thei:
ice cream match their iwipcry. Real
ly good food doesn't need bcauly
piirlor treatment."
"I never knew u woman-elia.sing
mail whose wife was a good and
ittlvcuturous cook," says While, re
marking that there i something in
the proverb that says that (he way to
a man's heart is Uiioiigh Ills stomach.

DICK TRE MAINE He liked
Susie's waffles but he couldn't sec
Susie.
JEFF BOWMAN His chief con
cern was to make Susie as beautiful
as she wanted to be.
Yesterday: Jeff discovers Sumc
drinking a malted milk in violation
of her training rules. He seizes it,
there is a struggle.
CHAPTER XV
Susie's eyes blazed, fire wiping
away the guilt. "Give me that malt
ed milk," she commanded through
set teeth.
"No."
"You're not my keeper." she flar
ed. "Try minding your own affairs
and see how it seems."
Jeff was white with anger. "So
this is the way you double-cross the
Chief," he accused scornfully. "You
let him spend time and money on
you."
"I make money for him and you
know it." Her eyes, frantic with de
sire, clung to the glass of malted
milk. Jeff carried it to the fountain
and paid the check. When he re
turned to Susie she was trembling.
"Please let me have just a little of
it," she begged, "Just a swallow ."
Jeff's anger subsided in a rush of
pity. "I can't let you have it, Susie,"
he said gently, putting hLs big lean
hand over hers. "Be a soldier, fight it
out, can't you?" At the numb shake
of her head he asked beseechingly,
"Have you done this before?" lib
hand ligheening on hers.
Her mouth worked. "No." Sud
denly then she burst into tears. "I'm
so h-hungry, Jeff.
Susie's tears frightened Jeff. There
was something so despairing about
them. Not versed in feminine nature
he had no past experience by which
to be reassured. To him tears meant
disaster. He did not realize that, to
girls, a good cry was of no more im
portance than a good laugh, that it
almost always paved the way for an
uplift of spirit.
He said, "Don't cry, Susie, there's
a good girl." And, frantically, when
she only cried harder, "I'll have the
man make you another malted milk
and we'll call the whole thing off. I
didn't know we'd made you suffer so
I didn't realize
While he talked Susie got up and
started for the door. Jeff followed.
The fountain boy snickered and Jeff
shot him a reproachful look. Outside,
he found that Susie was still weeping
and cast about for a means of comfort.
"Let s go to Edna " he KUtiaested.
"Wouldn't you like lo sec Edna?"
-yes.

Having every intention of willing

she mumbled something as if vastly I

she encouraged Jeff in hLs role of j

safest port in any old storm, his
mother. '
"Edna," he said worriedly when 1
delightedly. "And have you missed u
chin?"
While they were talking the boll
rang and John Marker was admitted.
It seemed he was taking Jeffs
mother lo the theater. The way Edna
fluttered and the way Mr, llarker
lnoked at her did not go unnoticed
by Susie. They talked 11 little of
Siuio's program, Mr. Murker appear
ed to be much pleased with whut had
beo ti accomplished, nothing was Raid
of her near downfall. They all left
the upaitmeut together, Jeff to take
Susie to the hotel, Ednu und Mr.
Marker to be ushered into a long,
lnw ear by a livened chauffeur.
"Come to see me often, Susie,"
Kduu said as they put ted.
Susie looked after the ear. "Isn't
.she lovely. Jeff? Mr, Marker thinks
m, doeMi t he?"
"Yep." said Jeff. "I wish he didn't
like her quite so well."
"1 used to hale leautiftil women,"
Susie observed plaintively, "but I
don't any more."
"Why don't you?" Susie's views
never failed to amuse Jeff.
"Heeause I'm already tteautiful In
side." she said seriously. It wan true.
As the pounds dropped away they
took sluggishness and the old infer
iority with them. She wils lighter on
her feet, lighter in mind and spirit.
With the lessening of her shadow
confidence grew.
"Jeff," she faltered ns they neared
the hotel, "I'm sorry about tonight.
I ll never do it again. I promise. "
"Aw. that's all unlit," Jeff replied
lavishly. "Guess anyUidy'.s got a
right to kick over the traces once
in a while."
"You were an angel."
"Me an angel that's good."
They parted, on the Uvst of terms,
Susie passed the drug store without
a glance.
By the middle "f December Mark
er's was elated with Sumo'h progress.
The beautifying canuiaiun had con
tinued to hold the interest of the
public. Jeff's ideas concerning tlie
radio program ami the question and
answer column hail been tried and
found effective. The Stusie fans grew
by leaps and bounds, her name was
a by-word. Curiosity was at a high
pitch.
Often Susie laughed at her follow

broke their diet. Their results would
