Three judges of the federal court in Minneapolis have
tapheld the legality of Governor Floyd B. Olson's military
rule in the truck drivers strike in refusing protesting groups
of employers an injunction against continuance of the decree.
The petitions protested that martial law was unwarranted
and was paralyzing business,
sary for preserving law and
the strike area.

the strike, which comes near to
promise proposed by federal mediators was accepted by the
striking truckmen, and the employers accepted it all except
the provision for re-employing 300 strike leaders. The gov

truck can operate without such a permit, the governor is in

Governor Olson was elected by the Farmer-Labor party
and attained prominence as a labor attorney. When the
troops were called he announced that he would not permit
their use for strike breaking purposes but he apparently has
but not in the orthodox manner of coercing strikers but of
coercing employers. So the court's decision is. held as a
victory by union leaders while

Glass
Senator Carter Glass in a recent speech in his home city
of Lynchburg, Va., before a convention of democratic clubs,
sharply criticized the New Deal and dwelt on federal expen
ditures and the taxes they
herence to sound money and
for accepting federal relief money when its credit was high
These remarks were a repetition of those he has fre
quently uttered in the senate, for he is an old line gold demo
crat and one of the severest critics of the Roosevelt policies.
So his remarks about the president were the interesting fea
ture of his address. He paid
tribute:
The president Is not simple enough to object when we disagree. He
1b man enough and has sense enough to respect people who cUffor
with him, rather thnn supine politicians who say yes, yes, yea and nothing
but yes. When I differ with the president I go to him first and tell him
so. The public docs not know what
Is more Important than what has been done.
Here we have testimony from one of his chief critics
that the president respects critics and criticism and is broad
minded enough to be open to arguments and change his
course when convinced of its error. In this the president
differs from some of his subordinates like General Johnson,
who seem to resent criticism of any kind. The Glass tribute
is far better than those of the yes-yes-men. Yet it is doubt
ful whether the persuasiveness of the president has not mod
ified the Glass opinions more than the latter's have those of
Roosevelt.
A Spawning Spot
Governor Mcrriam of California is staging a state-wide
campaign against communism and radicalism. He sees a
red behind every tree and post and declares that the golden
state was selected for a test of communism as the most vul
nerable because of her large perishable fruit crops. He de
clares the leaders of strike violence were imported radicals
financed by foreign money. And in speeches daily reported
throughout the state he warns of the red menace.
The congressional hearing on communism, nazism, fasc
ism, etc., being held at Los Angeles was closed to the public
because the evidence was "so poisonous that international
complications might result." Police intelligence officers tes
tified that there are 4,500 dues paying members of the com
munist party in California, with 20,000 sympathizers, that
the Moscow Internationale disbursed $652,000 in the United
Slates in 1930 to finance red propaganda. And other Cali
fornia officials quote communists as declaring the "next at
tempt will be more serious and violent than ever before."
It is questionable however, whether the communists
constitute any greater menace than the nazi and fascist
movements, also financed from abroad. Testimony disclosed
that the Silver Shirts drill with guns and actually plotted to
seize San Diego's city hall.
Southern California with its mixed population seems a
spawning spot for every kind of ism, shirt and cult from re
ligion to economics and politics. Not only does communism
and nazism flourish, but freak movements of all kinds have
mushroom growths. There are the "Utopians," the $200 a
month pensioners, the technocrats and a dozen other flour
ishing economic cults of the half-balted with a much greater
variety of religions in our Moronia,

News Behind
The News
By Paul Mallon
Washington, Aug. 11 The best
monetary critics always laugh
when Mr. Morgenthau sits down to
play the silver
lute. After hear
ing his technical
ly perfect rendi
tion of "nation
alization" they
are still laughing
For many rea
sons, they stub
bornly decline to
take the admin
istration very
seriously on the
silver question,
fAUij MALLON
The reasons
are not hard to find, no Insider or
outsider In Washington believes
that Mr. Morgenthau (or, indeed,
president Koosevcit, wnom he ac
curately represents) is either a sll-
verlte or an inflationist. Their
moves on silver are usually timed
to meet some inflationary uprising
in congress, and these moves have
so far been wisely cautious. The
latest one Is also in that category,
Explanation Three very natural
reasons for the move are generally
accepted in the Washington inner
circle.
One is the financial situation.
There is nearl a billion and a half
dollars In hoarding. The people who
are noarding it win rush to put it
back into circulation if they think
monetary inflation Is coming. The
administration's silver move may
encourage them to think so.
Another reason Is Senator Tho
mas. He Is the most persistent and
annoying Inflationist extant. A few
days ago he conducted a poll of
congress and annouced that a ma
Jorlty of his colleagues have been
disappointed with the administra
tion silver policy. Nationalization of
silver la supposed to make him and
his weeping colleagues dry their
eyes and keep quiet for at least a
lew more weeks.
Also, don t forget that a warm
congressional election contest is
w.rting in western silver states,
Thus, three very big problem
birds are supposed to lie down and
roll over at the one big silver blow.
Inflation These are rather shal
low reasons, but you will find no
deeper ones in the nationalization
policy.
All It means now Is that the gov-
eminent Is going to buy about
$100,000,000 worth of silver In this
country. (There are roughly be
tween 150,000,000 and 200,000,000
ounces subject to seizure at 50.01
cents an ounce.)
A hundred million will only be a
ripple In the five billion dollar
monetary bucket. If that much new
currency is issued, it will not be in
ftntion or anything very near in
nation.
Ifs The nationalization program
becomes important from a national
monetary standpoint only when yon
get down to soliloquizing about
what Mr. Morgenthau will do next.
If he goes out and tries to buy
all the silver- in the world at in
creasingly higher prices, he will
reach inflation. Everyona here Is
certain he will not do that.
There is another way. His pur
chases are being made at 50 cents.
an ounce, but silver is carried on
the treasury books at $1.29 an
ounce. (That book value has been
kept since 1837 or thereabouts).
Thus he Is accumulating a theo
retical profit from his silver buying
policy.
For Instance, he buys three ounc
es of silver for $1.50. They have a
potential treasury book value of
$3.87, but Morgenthau has issued
only $1.50 in currency against them
so far. He stores the surplus silver
and carries tt on his balance sheet
as of no value. That Is good com
mon business sense.
Any day he could take this silver
profit out and Issue currency
against it for $1.30 an ounce. That
would be Inflation. However, the
amount Involved Is so small, it re
ally would not make much differ
ence. Conclusion Add all this up and
you find the nationalization song is
not a song at all, but only a stop
gap, a prelude, a "vamp 'till ready."
The administration can string It
out for years and even centuries
beforo it accumulates enough silver
to stabilize on a 25 per cent ratio
with gold.
Everything depends on how much
world silver Mr. Morgenthau buys
and how fast he buys It.
The good guesscrs are betting he
will nob buy enough to keep Sena
tor Thomas quiet very long.
Cotton It looks as If the AAA
could take about 86 per cent of the
credit for the low cotton crop. Tho
drought accums for about 14 per

The yield per acre dropped 0
pounds below the average for the
last ten years. Normally, yon would

tary Ickes said today he looked for
ward to tne time wnen a nign aam
would be built at Grand Coulee to
irrigate 1,200,000 acres- In eastern
Washington.
Commenting upon the possibilities
of constructing a high dam, the sec
retary of interior said it could not
be undertaken in the immediate fu
ture. The low dam, on which work
has Just been begun, he said, could
be used without waste in construc
tion of the high dam later. The pres
ent plans call for construction of a
power dam only.
"We can all look forward to the
time when land as rich as that at
Grand Coulee and as capable of
producing such a wide diversity of
crops will be a valuable asset," Ickes
said.
There Is no money to undertake
construction of a high dam at this
time, he said, even if it were not the
policy of the public works adminis
tration to bring no new land Into
cultivation.
GAMES: WAIT'S
"Tumble night" was observed by
player participating In the two
Softball league games at Swectland
field Thursday evening when Wait's
beat Hogg Brothers 8 to 7 and
Pade's retained their hold on first
place by handing Master Bread a
red hot 16 to 2 roasting. All told
thero were 20 misplays which were
observed by the scorekeeper. A few
others might have gone undetected
while that gent was trying to keep a
pulse on the two affairs. Through
their efforts Walt's hoisted them'
selves Into undisputed possessloi
of third place, a full game behind
Parkers.
Although a lot of car springs were
concealed In the gloves during the
Wvait-Hogg Brothers game, It was
close enough to make It Interesting,
The winners more than batted
around in the first Inning to take
a 6 to 0 lead. However Hogg Broth
er tied It up by three run splurges
In the second and fifth. Each side
collected 9 hits, the seven errors
the appliance men made being re
sponsible for their defeat.
Stcinbock was particularly effec
tive for Pade's, Just one lilt being
chalked up against him during the
first five innings. After that nc
limited the doughboys to one hit an
inning. The grocers pasted Joe
Darby hard, although the latter's
wlldncss and the inability of his
mates to hang on to the ball aided
materially In the run gathering.
Pade's tallied three in the first
and then Indulged in a track meet
in the third to add eight more.

Our president, In hi speech at
Glacier park,mtold of those who had
"stolen" the public domain and
publlo resources. Much of this
"stealing" was done legally. In fact,
great lawyers have been retained to
show their clients how they could
steal within the law.
The essence of stealing 1 the de

Prune Board
--From Page One
gate contracts entered Into by can
no rs. And third the disparity in
price between the green and dried
prune. John P. white, designated
as spokesman for the board, said
the first contention was wiped out
by the fact of the hearing today,
that the second contention was one
not within the province of the
board, but if decided must be de
cided by other means. This left
the third point at Issue and around
it revolved much of the day's dis
cussions.
Bert Mallng, one of tho north
west's biggest operators, injected a
new point In the discussion when
he asserted green prunes could be
bought In Yakima and Walla Walla
district for $8 a ton and adding
55 for shipping and handling could
be Imported under the code price.
L. M. Jones, Vancouver, Wash., de
clared that Washington state is
under a marketing agreement and
that Yakima and Walla Walla can
not legally sell prunes at a lower
price than that fixed In Orogon.
Mallng countered by the assertion
that any such shipment Into Ore
gon would be Interstate shipment
not cc.ulng under state control.
Difficulty of grading out each
grower' deliveries were also dis
cussed Bt length by the canners.
Mallng declared that In his Hllls-
boro plant thl wo extremely Im
practical and O rover Hlllman ot
the west Stucm cannery said It
$

was virtually Impossible in bis plant.
Ray Yocum, manager of the ReM,
Murdoch plant here, said that while
his plant, with a large receiving
platform, was equipped to make
such gradlngs, he confirmed state
ment of other canners and said
he was familiar with their plant
and In other plant such grading
was highly Impractical.
Incidentally, Yocum during the
course of the meeting, made a state
ment of Interest to Salem. He de
clared after he had submitted to
his Chicago house estimates on
possible casts of prunes for canning
here this year, he received advices
from his canned goods man that
prunes could be bought cheaper
through Chicago brokers than can
ned under the prices named. Fur
thermore, the letter said that the
company maintained a plant In
Salem and has paid taxes on It
since 1920, and that In virtually all
lines the concern could have pur
chased canned fruits In Chicago
cheaper than It could can them
here.
Denial that there was collusion
among canneries In arriving at their
posted prices which were put up
at canuery doors after code prices
became effective, was made by Bert
Mallng. He told of a meeting
Thursday night at the Elks club at
which the canners discussed all
phases of the situation, and he was
hore In attendance. The night be
fore, he said, he had worked out
a schedule showing the cost ot green
prunes and If put on a basis com
parable with the code price for
dried prunes, and he showed can
ners here what he had done. He
said the next day canners here had
virtually all accepted that basis but
there was no concerted action, he
said, and he denied that there was
collusion at the meeting. This
statement was confirmed by other
canners.
W. G. Allen, in opening the ses
sion for the canners, asserted that
the canners came to the meeting in
a spirit of harmony and compro
mise and hoped the meeting would
continue that way. He said the
code was worked out with everyone
at a high pressure and that under
such circumstances irritations are
apt to arise. He outlined the var
ious points as given above.
-T deplore statements made that
canners were fighting the code," he
said. "That was not the case. Prices
were posted to definitely tajte care
of obligations entered into by can
ners on many tons of prunes that
wo had contracted to sell."
Bert Mallng also declared he was
not fighting the marketing agree
ment, but he said prunes could be
bought In Yakima and Walla Walla
for (g a ton, all the prunes he
wanted, and he declared "I think
you make a mistake in making an
arbitrary discrimination between
dried and green prunes and fixing
the price out of line with the price
on prunes In competitive districts."
He asserted that $18.50 a ton left
canners without a profit "and I
consider your marketing agreement
Is causing us a direct loss and I
consider It forces us to go Into
other districts to buy prunes and
ship them in. I think this all start
ed over competition and that I am
the Innocent cause of It."
W. G. Allen said that his Infor
mation was that there were 1200
cars of green prunes in the Walla
Walla district, and 600 car were
shipped and shipments were shown
to bring prices that left the ship
pers In the red, and with the big
balance on hand growers have be
come panicky and are offering out
prunes Just to get something out of
them.
The question was raised as to
the suitability of Yakima and
Walla Walla prunes for canning.
George Paulus, who said his plant
had canned prunes from Yakima,
had found them as good as the val
ley prune, with possibly .a little
tougher skin. Mallng said that
Yakima growers had been taught
to pick prunes for fresh shipment
and they picked them too green for
canning, possibly, but his laboratory
tests showed ripe Yakima prunes
were as good to can as the valley
prune.
Mating also raised the point that
the control board did not fix a price
at all on green prunes sold by
growers to dryermen and wanted to
know tho reason why. White re
plied by saying that the board had
considered that point and it was
the opinion of board members that
prunes for canning were selected
and the cream of the crop, while
growers did not need to be nearly
so particular In selling green prunes

RENEW GRASPS
ON MOUND JOBS
(Br the Associated Press
Of the many surprises In the
Coast league's spotty 1934 season,
none Is more startling than the sud
den comeback of the San Francisco
pitching staff.
Just five days ago after the Seals
had dropped 12 of their last 14
games, there was talk of an entire
ly new mound corps next year. Now,
after Jimmy Zinn, Wyn Baliou, Le
Roy Herrmann and Sam Gibson
have set the Los Angeles Angels
down four .times in a row with a
total of four earned runs, the Seals
hurlers seem to have a firm hold
on their jobs.
Gibson followed up shutout per
formances by Baliou and Hcrrman
by stopping the Angels 7-2 with 7
hits. The victory cinched the series
for San Francisco, the first tho
Seals have taken from the Angels
all season and the first this year in
which they have taken more than
one game from the Lellvelt men.
The defeat dropped the Angels into
a tie for the lead with the Missions
who upset Hollywood, 10-2.
The Seals did all their scoring in
the third inning when they chased
Fay Thomas, the league's top hurl
er, from the box. The San Francis
cans tallied their seven runs with
five hits, three walks by Thomas
and an error by Jimm Reese. Tho
mas tossed in a wild pitch for good
measure.
Hollis Thurston hardly needed
the help of four Hollywood errors
in boosting the Missions into the
first place tie. In addition to limit
ing the Stars to six hits, he wallop
ed a homer and double.
Seattle halted Sacramento's win
ning streak at seven games with ft
12-0 trouncing. Herman Pillette
gave only four singles as the Trlba
pounded Hartwig and Tost for 18.
Including four baggers by Pillette.
Fred Berger and Joe Coscaret.
Despite a four run Oakland rally
that tied the count in the seventh
inning, Portland went on to win 7-5.
with Moose Clabaugh cracking a
homer for the sixth Beaver run.
