Free. MURDER TRIAL RELIEF WORK COOPERATION HIGHLY PRAISED Sfflcienoy and cooperation by the Marlon and Salem relief commit tee in presenting projects for con sideration were highly compliment ed Monday noon by Burton Palmer. Portland, chief engineer for the state &ERA, who spoke before the chamber of commerce in place of Ivan White, of Salem, who was called to Washington, D. O. The projects offered were ones which required little material and most of the cost going to labor. While Oregon stood 14th In the United States on the percentage of direct federal relief funds, it stood first In the northern group of states, those above It being all in the south. Direct relief funds provided by the government were 865 per cent with 60.6 per cent the average for the nation. Connecticut was at the bottom of the list with 11.6 per cent. Why the CWA was discontinued and the SERA launched in its place was related by Palmer. It became necessary to make a dollar do dou ble duty, going lor actual relief and making the subject work for it. When the CWA went into U'ect there were 117,000 registered un employed with Oregon's quota, upon which funds were based, set at 28, 000. It became necessary to give work only for cases of actual ne cessity and even then to resort to lottery to allot the work. Under the system at Its best Injustices arose, palmer said. To take care of the situation, with the govern ment spending $2,000,000 in Janu ary, a peak month, it would have been necessary to increase this to $8,000,000 if all were given work, a program tliat would have cost the government over two billions A month throughout the nation. Administrative costs have been cut to the limit, palmer said, with Oregon standing fifth from the hntrnm on h list in this connec tion. Continuation of Labor Unrest rrom Page One reached a crucial stage today with violence followed by wholesale ar rests reported in at least three in dustrial centers. Center of the labor difficulties was at Minneapolis where striking truck drivers engaged in a hand to hand battle with police for control of the city's markets. More than 25 partic ipants were injured before the street fighting subsided. Eleven striking longshoremen at New Orleans were arrested on charges of carrying concealed wea pons as police began a systematic search for weapons among the pl- cxeting oock w or iters. Approximately 6O0 striking Ions shoremen employed by the Clyde Mallory line in New York returned to work today. At San Francisco, shipping was paralyzed by refusal of ship owners and 15,000 striking dockworkers to concede ground in the matter of un ion recognition. Street sales of newspapers in Cleveland was tied up by the strike of newsboys demanduig an increase in the pennies received for papers sold. Flying squads of the youthful strikers sped through the downtown area confiscating all papers on the news stands. Overshadowing active strike diffi culties was the threat of a tleup in the vast steel industry over the mat ter of union recognition. The Am algamated Association of Iron, Steel and Tin Workers at Pittsburgh sent their demands to employers country-wide, with the acceptance dead line set at June 10. San Francisco, May 21 (IP) Two determined gro-jps the 15,000 Pa cific coast longshoremen and their ship-owning employers kept coast shipping in almost complete paraly sis today by their refusals to con cede ground on recognition of the International Longshoremen's as sociation. Federal mediators, led by Assist ant secretary of Labor Edward F McGrady, admitted prorjcts of an early settlement are poor, but planned further conferences with the disputants today. The threat of a month's shut down on all coast shipping activity was heard after shipowners met here. The employers refused to confirm the report but they said an "important announcement'' can be expected soon. Workers count ered with discussions of a general strike, affecting every orptani7rd craft associated with the shipping industry. Either move would affect all ships except those holding mail contracts It would mean stagnation of many industries. It would produce food shortages in communities dependent on water transportation. And it would cau.se a severe setback to President Roosevelt's recovery movement. While efforts to effect arbitra tion of the bitter dispute were in progress, the waterfronts in the principal ports remained quiet. No moves were made in Portland or Seattle to load or unload cargoes Some shi)s were cleared from Sun rancisro and Los Angeles by strike breakeis.
