More Youngsters
Needed This Year
To Harvest Crops
More boys and girls will be
needed to help harvest Oregon's
crops tms year than ever before,
reports Russel M. Adams, assist
ant state farm labor supervisor in
the Oregon State college exten-i
sion service.
In organizing this year's victory
farm volunteers, the state farm
labor office is" emphasizing the
need for boys and girls to stay
on the job for longer periods as
well as for an increase in number
of workers.
Greater interest has been shown
this year in use of groups or pla
toons of youngsters, . under the
supervision of adult leaders,
Adams says. In a number of com
munities, these groups of around
25 to 40 youngsters 'are being
organized for the first time, es
pecially where increased acreage
of strawberries will demand more
pickers beginning about the sec-

ond week In June. About a tenth
of the 50,000 Oregon boys and
girls who helped with the harvest
last season were in these organ
ized platoons, Adams estimates. .
Schools Cooperate!
Public school officials are co
operating with county farm labor
offices in recruiting youth for
these farm jobs and are giving
their pupils every encouragement
to join platoons, go out indepen
dently in smaller groups orabtain
their own jobs, according to
Adams. In some cases school
principals are cooperating with
farm labor assistants in placing
youngsters directly.
In general, growers are plan
ning to provide, better transpor
tation for their ' young workers
and more satisfactory working
conditions on the farms than in
past years. Adams also points
out a tendency toward a few
mothers or other adults joining in
many of the youth platoons. These
are in addition to the adult pla
toon leaders, who are considered
as the key to the success of a good
platoon. ,
Boys or girls interested in har
vest work or adults who can serve
as paid platoon leaders may en
roll or get additional information
from county farm labor offices.

Othman Receives Inside Dope
On Cartels -and Secret Trade
By Frederick C. Othman
Washington, May 18 tU'i If
you'll hold my hand (in case I
start to go under) we'll wade
into the swirling International
waters bounded by that mysteri
ous word, "cartels."
A lot of people agree they're
bad, including Attorney General
j Francis Biddle, who wore a rose
in his buttonhole and who reeled
off some horrible examples. The
occasion was a hearing called by
Sen. Joseph C. O'Mahoney (pro
nounced Oh-may-a-knee) of Wy
oming. He wrote a bill which would
force any American company
which joined in a cartel to say
so, in public. The hearing was to
see what assorted federal big-wigs
thought about it. The principal
ones on tap were Biddle, Secre
tary of Interior Harold L. Ickes
and Under-Secretary of State Will
Clayton.
Ickes eliminated himself
promptly by saying he was out
of his depth. Pretty soon- he
walked out. Asked to define a car
tel, the attorney general scratched
his almost bald head and said that
was a hard thing to do. Clayfbn,
the big-time cotton broker turned
diplomat, had what seemed like a
first-class definition. "A cartel,"
he said, "is a kind of a treaty, of
alliance between economic rivals."
There have been, lt develops,
some dillies in the cartel line.
Give you the creeps.
Biddle said there was one
American outfit so tied up in an
Oriental cartel that it had to give
i the Japanese the secrets of sub
marine propellers even while they
were being tested by the navy.
When the tests were finished, he
said, the results were mailed to
Tokyo.
Airmailed, probably.
The world's best storage bat
teries propelled German subma
rines, Biddle said, because the
nazis got their know-how from
American battery makers. He
said he was taking this one to
court.
He charged that one of our bie
oil companies had a deal with the
Nips which Included showing
them how to manufacture avia
tion gasoline. He had some other
examples, but you get the Idea. A
half dozen business men around
the world sign up to slice the
globe in six pieces, say, for the
sale of earmuffs. Then comes a
war and the poor Eskimos, who
didn't sign, freeze their eaVs.
The head men all agreed, any
how, that Sen. O'Mahoney had a
good idea. It would work like
this.
The American earmuff maker,
who wanted to sign a deal with
his European competitors to raise
prices at the first snow and keep
'em up until the first robin, could
do so. But he'd have to make his
contract a matter of public record
so it could be printed in the
papers.
This, everybody hopes, would
make earmuff wearers so sore
they'd eltheV make, their own or
move to Florida.
All right then, lawyers. If
you're so smart explain it better.
Coal Mine Strike
Finally Settled
Washington, May 18 (IK The
hard coal crisis apparently had
blown over today as swiftly as it
came the night of April 30.
Seventy two thousand Penn
sylvania anthracite miners, on
strike since midnight of the day
before May day, were expected to
be back digging coal on Monday.
Fuel Administrator Harold L.
Ickes moved swiftly yesterday to
end the deadlocked' wage negotia
tions between John L. Lewis'
United Mine workers, represent
ing the hard coal mind's, and
coal producers.
The hard coal miners, follow
ing their custom of "nn ronti-nrt.
I no work," went on strike April 30
because their old contract was up
and it had not been extended,
li ke Warns Both
Late yesterday, Ickes called
both parties into his office and
repeated his warning that an
thracite coal must continue to be
mined. . i
Both miners and operators
agreed to Ickes' proposal, which
would give the miners $1.37 a
day more than they're getting
now. The producers had offered
S103 and the miners asked $1.79.
The UMW and hard coal pro
ducers are meeting -again today
In Ickes' conference room to
agree on final details of their
new contract.
Both have agreed that it will
Include premiums of four and six
cents an hour for second and third
shift work and an increase In va
cation pay from $50 to $75. These
boosts account for approximately
26 cents of the total daily raise.
The remaining $1.UV4 will be
divided between J ravel and lunch
time in some manner still to be
agreed upcui.
Increasing quantities of toys
made of wood are produced in
Newfoundland, largely as a home
industry, to give employment dur

By Eric W. Allen, Jr.
(United Pre. Staff Correspondent)
Salem, Ore., May 18 IIP) The
official "cleaning up" ftfter the
1945 Oregon legislature is virtual
ly completed, otflcials of the state
department reported today.
After the members and the staff
of the legislature go home, the
state department staff still has a
job to do. Principal chores are
completing the official version pf
the house and senate Journals and
the session laws.
The house and senate Journal
will run to about 350 puges this
year. It contains the uay-by-day
happenings during the session, a
complete calendar of the bills and
other measures passed, defeated
and postponed, and an exhaustive
cross-index of all the extensive
material concerning the session.
This publication will be ready
sometime In the latter part of
June, if was believed. Two clerks
have been working full time on
the job, and lt is" completed except
for printing, proofreading and
binding.
The session laws, which are the
official results of the work of the
legislature, are a compendium of
the new laws passed by the legis
lature assembly. They are the I
new laws of the state, and are
added to the large body of exist
ing law, and the constitution.
The preparation of this book Is
virtually complete, secretary of
state Robert S. Farrell. Jr.. said
Ordinarily the new laws are ready
ior aisirirjuiion on the date on
which most of them become ef
fective, this year June 16.
However, the issuing of the new
laws will probably be delayed for
ariout two weeks or more, Farrell
said, because of a suit challenging
(he validity of one of the laws
passed and included In the volume.
It is the "local budget law"
amendments (HB403) which is in
question and the Oregon Business
and Tax Research inc., of Portland
Is bringing the suit to enjoin the
inclusion of the bill in the book
of laws, claiming that it is Invalid
as it whs signed by the governor.
The group says that a conference
committee report was left out of
tne bin, and It Is thus Invalid.
Until the outcome of the suit
Is made known, Farrell says he
win nold up the publication of the
oook. lr it is declared invalid,
the bill should not be Included,
he said.
Farrell thinks that the book
should be ready for distribution
on or about July 1, if all goes well.

THE OLD JUDGE SAYS...
GEORGE: "Yes. I certainly would like to
hear why you call that an old fashioned
idea. Judge."
OLD JUDGE: "Glad to tell you, George.
Until recently, a person known aa an al
coholic was generally treated as a social
outcast. Little if anything was done to
understand him or help him. But, during the
past few years, medical research and study
has developed that alcoholics arc really sick
people that there is usually a deep
rooted physical, social or emotional reason
behind their behavior. Thai's why today so
much is being done to help them by finding
out and correcting Die condition that leads
them to excess."
GEORGE: "How many folks are there like
that, Judge?"
OLD JUDGE:" Well, according to scientific
research, 95 of the people who drink,
drink sensibly. 5 do so unwisely, at times.
Included in that 5 is the small percentage
of the sick people I'm talking about."
GEORGE: "That certainly gives me a
clearer picture. It's the most sensible ap
proach I've ever heard on the subject."
