The Wagner Bill
- The Wagner bill, passed by both houses of congress and
jiow in conference has for its object the guarantee of the
right of collective bargaining by labor and the prohibiting of
"unfair practices." The bill is based on the power of congress
to regulate.matters which effect interstate commerce and un.
der the supreme court's ruling is limited and does not apply
to practices of purely local significance, and its constitution
ality is yet to be determined.
': ' The' bill prohibits employers from making employment
conditional, on membership or non-memoersnip m any or
ganization or discriminating against union members; from
interfering with organization of workers; from dominating
or giving financial aid to any labor organization ; from dis
charging or discriminating against an employe for filing
charges ; from refusing to bargain collectively with employes.
It applies to all workers except agricultural and domestic
help.
A national labor relations board, quasi-judicial is cre
ated, empowered to hold hearings, determine lacts and hold
elections among employes in case of dispute as to choice of
representatives for collective bargaining. It would issue or
ders similar to those of the federal trade commission for en
forcement by the federal courts. Similarly the employers
have the right of appeal to the

resentative chosen by a majority of the employes bargains
for all the workers and the employer is forbidden to bargain
with others. Thus minorities lose representation. It does not
necessarily make for the closed shop. While it legalizes it,
the employer still has the right to hire whom he pleases. In
dustralists contend that it would work for the closed shop
and hence oppose it. .
Mediation and conciliation would continue to be handled
by the labor department. The labor relations board would
confine itself to prevention of the, unfair practices defined
and the supervision of elections.
The defect in' the bill is that it does not provide, as the
British labor act does, for the responsibility of labor organi
zations by licensing,, regulations and publicity. The employ
er is -responsible, the Union not, and is as free to violate
agreements as in the past. , Until labor as well as capital is
held responsible, labor turmoil will continue.
First Aid for First Aid
Salem is being asked to give first aid to the First Aid
emergency equipment proposed for this community.
First aid in this instance calls for collection through
public subscription of $2300
chase of a duplicate of the emergency vehicle exhibited here
yesterday through the courtesy of the city of Portland.
The specially, equipped automobile is not an ambulance,
although it can be ured as
and other facilities are not available. It is just what the
name implies an automobile fully equipped with supplies
and equipment for n'ving first aid to victims of highway ac
cidents, drownings, poisonings, explosions and other mishaps
involving human lives.
Portland's car, in service less than two years, is credited
with supplying aid instrumental in saving more than 100
lives.
Its resuscitation appliances have been used effectively
in cases of pneumonia, carbon monoxide poisoning, still birth
and infantile paralysis; its other equipment utilized hun
dreds of times to deal with injuries.
The car and all its appurtances are provided at cost ; the
machine is lo be operated by a crew of city firemen trained
by the Red Cross in the administration of first aid ; supplies
are to be furnished by the hospitals and sterilization of in
struments provided for by the physicians and surgeons as
sociation. Employes of Ihc Oregon Puly & Paper company have
pledged $200. A' week should be sufficient time in which to
raise the other $2100 needed.
Salem Lethargy
The lethargy of citizens in matters of community pro
gresn and improvement was never better emphasized than
in yesterday's bond election when but 6 percent of the regis
tered voters had interest enough in the city's welfare to go
to the polls a new record for indifference. How can Salem
hope to go forward when 94 percent of her citizens refuse
lo exercise the franchise on important issues?
Another amazing feature was the fact that the sixth
ward, which comprises the north central and east sections
principally benefitted by the drainage bonds with a badly
needed storm sewer, and which has been most vociforous in
its demands for the same, especially in flood season, voted
against the project 72 to 52. It is due entirely to the broader
view taken by people not directly benefitted, that the im
provement is assured.
AH the wards voted overwhelmingly for the refunding
bonds and yrjt there were 195 who registered their disapprov
al of the city's making a material saving in interest charges,
and thereby reducing taxation. Just why they did is not
easily explainable.
The $22,000 drainage bonds, carried by the slim margin
of 13 votes, will be supplemented by $78,000 work relief
funds for labor, the project having been approved by the
Marion county relief committee. The storm sewer will ex
tend from 25th and State street through the low area to
wards dinger field thence along D street to Mill creek.

SUSPICION
Before she could draw back, All
son found herself enveloped In an
embrace which included kisses on
both cheeks and an overpowering
scent of gardenia. Always shy, re
served and slow to make friends,
she ound herself standing stiffly
while she suffered Daphne's kisses
without returning them.
But If Mrs. Sumers noticed the
girl's coldness, she did not. show It.
She drew back, held her off at arm's
length and looked at her, then
turning to her fiance said, "Bob!
Why didn't you tell me she was a
beautyl"
He laughed, happily and caught
the widow s hand, put, his iree arm
round the girl's shoulders.
"Lovely, Isn't she?"
"Walt!" Mrs. Sumers gave a high,
thin, laugh. "I've great plans brew
ing." She turned to Alison. "I'm so
glad, Alison darling, that you have

that Bob told me he had a daugh

And now I" She flung her hands
up in a little artificial gesture which
grated on the girl. Bent over and
patted her arm. "We're going to be
great friends! I can feel it I And I'm
always right, Bren't 17"
"Always." Robert released Alison
and stooped to kiss Daphne. "Al
ways and always."
Alison turned sharply away. She
pretended to tidy her ruffled hair In
the glass over the chimney-shelf, so
as to hide her mouth which would
tremble.
She had been eight when her
adored mother had died, but even
now she could remember seeing her
father lean over Just like that, his
hand in his wlfes while he stooped
to kiss her. The memory hurt like
a knife thrust, so fiercely that she
felt almost sick and needed the sec
ond to recover her poise.
She felt, with the Instinct which
the honest possess, that every word
and gesture of the woman sitting
behind her was false, Insincere.
That her father, simple, warm
hearted and trusting, should be
caught by it was not so surprising;
he had a reverent respect for all
women which would make him easy
prey. He was laughing happily now.
unconscious that there was any
strain: between these two women
whom he loved.
"It's too late to do anything. He's
going to marry her. I just mustn't
let him see!" thought Alison, con
trolling her face into a polite smile.
And turned back to meet two dark
eyes filled with malice.
It was gone in a flash, replaced
by a wide smile on the magenta
lips, but the girl knew, ir Robert
Rede had seen nothing, Mrs. Sum
ers had I
She thought despairingly, "Now
she wUl hate me!"
"Tea, Alison?" Even the gesture
with which Mrs. Sumers held the
big silver tea-pot up was graceful
and studied; the picture or an af
fectionate woman welcoming a
step-child.
"Please." Try as she would. All-
son could not He, even In her voice.
She felt lost and strange as she sat
dawn. From the time site was eight,
she had always sat there, In that
chair by the fire, whenever they
were at home; since the days when
she had needed both hands to lift
up the heavy tea-pot.
But this time Robert Rede was
not allowed to misa the child note
In the girl's voice, could not, since
Daphne Sumers underlined It with
an appealing glance at him.
"I'm doing my best," that swift
glance said. "She won't respond."
Aloud she murmured In a soft and
whining tone "Cream?"
"Allsonl"
The girl had never heard her
father speak In that annoyed voice
to her before. She started.
"Yes?"
"Daphne's asking you If you want
cream." His tone reproved her
sharply.
"I'm sorry. I thought you were
asking father." Alison took her cup
qtucKiy. "yes, cream, please.
"Lucky baby," Daphne Sumers was
acidly sweet. "I wish I dared drink
all that creaml But at your agel
What are you? Seventeen?"
"Eighteen and a halt."
"You don't look It I Does she?"
"I suppose she doesn't," he agreed
doubtfully as If this new view of his
daughter surprised him "I suppose
she Is rather young."
"A mere baby!" Again there was
no more than a flasn of malice In
the dark eyes. "Never mind! Now
that you're old enough to think of

thing about it. I've the most mar

Alison glanced at hei fBther. He
was beaming, his eyes adoring the
woman by the fire. She thought bit
terly, "He doesn't aee. He's eating
every word of It, thinking how kind
she Is!"
Mrs. Sumers finished triumphant
ly. "Bob, when I'm done with her,

"If she's half as marvelous as
you are, she'll do!" He leaned over
as he spoke and patted the long

News Behind
The News
By Patl Halloa
Washington, June 31 The new
dealers have been doing consider
able talking out loud lately about
enforcing anti-trust laws. The jus
tice Cpartment has announced it
Is golnc to enforce them strongly,
now that the NRA Is done. You
may have been induoed to suspect
that the wrath of the federal prose
cutor Is aroused.
There is no need for any business
man or trust-busting senator to wait
around for this particular wrath to
descend.
The Inside on that situation was
aptly described by a certain sub-
cabinet officer, who recently said
of f -the-record ;
"If the government were to en
force the anti-trust Jaws in the
rigid way they have been interpret
ed by the courts, it would cost (100,
000.000 a year and play havoc with
about half of American business.'
You may bet your-last dollar that
a mild and moderate policy will be
pursued.
Changes The only anti-trust
changes-to be expected lri the-next
few months are those directly in
volving court decrees and codes.
An example Is the old 1920 court
decree against the American Col
umn and Lumber Co., restraining It
from any action to. maintain or
raise prices. That decree was modi
fied officially when the NRA lum
ber codes permitted price fixing.
Now that the NRA is gone, the de
cree will sgaln be operative.
There are not many companies in
this situation.
Shew The government also may
be expected to proceed against some
large trust law violators, as It has
in the past. Such prosecutions show
the heart of the prosecutor is in
the right place. In fact, the new
dealers even now can. point to a
record showing 25 anti-trust law
prosecutions in the first two years
and two months of its administra
tion (under NRA) as compared with
36 in the four years of the Hoover
administration.
But as for the now general su
spicion that the new dealers will
embark on a trust-busting cam
paign, It Is out of the picture, and
neither Attorney General Cum
mings nor the new deal Is the trust
busting type (the utility bill to the
contrary notwithstanding). The
time Is not ripe for such things.
' Cycles Most business men you
talk to these days seem to have an
Indescribable inner feeling that
things are better, that continued
Improvement is Inevitable, there are
no statistics to prove It. In fact,
the standard business barometers
(steel, autos) are continuing to fall
under the seasonal summer heat.
But It has become suddenly popu
lar for the first time in years to
take an optimistic view of recovery.
It is no longer popular to be a pes
simist. You will get the best example
from the stock market. It has
shown continuous strength in re
cent weeks in the face of unencour-

bad news. It has lost its fear.

DREADFUL PLANS

Of course Rip, living with Willy
Nllly,. could understand all that they
said, but be could not make them
understand him though he whim
pered, cried and begged and talked.
All they made of it was that they
thought he didn't like riding at such
speed in an automobile.
"You'll love It when we get home,"
the children ssld, patting him.
But Rip understood everything now.
The man in the front seat with the
children's father' was driving the car.
They had au been visiting him and

uncle. In the back seat sat the chil
dren's mother and Peter and Cora,
and Rip on the floor.
The uncle was driving them from

town from which they would take a
train !tnd go back home. Their home
was at the ether end of the world.
He had never seen the ocean, to he
knew It must be so far away that
be wondered now he could ever get
back to Puddle Muddle from such
a distance.
He would have to escape when
the automobile stopped. He watched
as best he could from bis place on
the floor, the turns that they made.
"Please, please let me out," Rip
cried.

tlvlties, but such activities have not
Increased lately. The other excuses
are no better.
What appears to have happened
is thst confidence and self-assur
ance are being re-established by a
fatalistic anticipation that the end
of the depression cycle has been
reached.
Caution Navy Secretary Bwanson
has written a personal letter to
Rear Admiral Stirling, commandant
of the Brooklyn navy yard suggest
ing that the admiral be a little more
careful about the articles he writes
for magazines. The letter was not
a reprimand, only a suggestion.'
What caused it was the fuss stir
red up largely by friends of the So
viet here about Stirling's last piece
suggesting that . European nations
should stop quarreling among them
selves and recognise the danger of
a . spread of communism. It was
somewhat gratuitous advice.
Pull There Is a rumor . around
that President Roosevelt will put
out a statement when congress ad
journs, assuring business that the
major reform program has not
been enacted, that there will be no
more. ,
The rumor is premature but the
situation it describes is not. It is
a fact that he is keeping congress
here to get his entire reform pro

Q. How much has world trade de
clined since 1929? E.T.
A. Calculated on a gold par basis
the trade of the world at the end
of 1934 according to the League, of
Nations was only 33.8 per cent of
what it had been in 1929. The great
est decline came prior to 1934. In
1934 the rate of decline had slowed
up so that the year showed only
3,9 per cent loss.
Q. Why do some silver certifi
cates say "there has been depositee
in the Treasury of the United
States one silver dollar" while oth
ers say "there Is on deposit, etc"?
H.N.R.
A. Before the new legal tender act
of 1933 there actually had been de
posited one standard silver dollar
for each $1 silver certificate issued,
Since the act there is on deposit
not necessarily one coined silver
dollar but equivalent value in either
sliver coin or silver bullion.
Q. How long does it take to build
a battleship? R.L.F.
A. Approximately three years is
required In the building of a mod
