"With or without of feme to friends or foe 1 tketch your world exactly at it goes." Labor Legislation Labor legislation pending before the Oregon legislature having for its purpose the protection of the public against costly strikes is based upon labor laws enacted in .Great Bri tain, so a review of the latter is tirhely. They grew out of the general strike of 1926, which followed the coal strike, lasted for 9 days, had as its of government and the social munity and ended in complete thority. In consequence the Trades Disputes act of 1927 was pawed, which declared that general strikes and lockouts and intimidation were illegal, that no man should be compelled through a labor organization to subscribe to funds for a po litical party, unless he gave consent, that civil servants must give individed allegiance to the ties must not make membership or non-membership of a trade union a condition of employment. Under the Trades Dispute made responsible to the state compelled to file membership ments with the government a protection for members against racketeering labor leaders who give no accounting of their receipts or expenditures and frequently amass private fortunes for use in terroristic and coercive tactics. The British act illegalizes any strike for any purpose other than the furtherance of the strikers' immediate con cern, thus banning a general strike and most "sympathetic" ones. It forbids direct or indirect coercion of the govern ment and forces unions to live up to their agreements with employers or be liable for strike damages and for breach of contracts. The underlying philosophy is that the public wel fare is predominant. The practical effect of the British act is to limit irre sponsible and ruthless radical labor leadership. It has work ed well for both the unions, who retain their bargaining pow er, the employers and the general public. An agreement once entered into must be observed by both employers and em ployes. . The New Deal has taken a large part of its national pro gram, including social security, relief of unemployed, hous ing program, corporation control, crop control, financial pro gram, etc., from Britain and could profit by adapting its labor disputes act. But the czars of the labor movement will fight It to a finish until an aroused public opinion' forces it. Eskimos' Teeth Of interest, at least to Sip's FT and BA is a report from the Bureau of Indian Affairs of the federal pub 'ic health service concerning the Alaska Eskimo, his teeth, food and health, completed last year. Among the most prim itive Eskimos not even one decayed tooth was found, although the environment might appear unfavorable to good teeth. The report states : They have no dentlsu. and few or no physicians or nurses to care for them. They live in Igloos or houses made of sod and covered with snow many months of the year, and In the short summer season they roam In nomadic bands In search of food and live In tenu made mostly of skins. They have little or no wood, their heat being obulned mostly by burning fatty oils from the blubber of whsle. walrus and seal. Their clothing Is made from the untanned skins of the animals they kill for food. The temperature Is below aero, sometimes as low aa 70 degrees and for two or three months It does not rise above 30 degrees below. It Is dark from about the middle of November to the 20th of January. They ao not once see the sun during this therefore have no grains, trulls, vegetables or sweeu. The examination of hundreds of these primitive peonle. subsisting on the native diet of protein varying from 35 to 65 percent and fats 35 to 65 percent, with very little carbohy drate iood ana no sweets, proves them to have the largest jaws and best tevth, with least decay of any living race." But as white men's food and way of living is adopted, there is a marked deterioration of teeth and jaws. The Eskimo is very fond of refined sweets, especially sugar and candy and the children eat it in quantity when available, as he does store food. The lack of rugged chewing combined with sweets results in rapid tooth decay in chil dren's mouths and narrowing of the jaws. The substitution of soft foods for tough, grity. uncooked and frozen foods is causing tooth worries among these simple, fun-loving, and happy primitives. Waste of Time Devised for the purpose of providing legislators with in formation which could not otherwise be secured on intricate matters of major importance, public hearings before senate and house committees have come to be a plague and a nui sance, serving no other purpose than to waste time of the members and delay the session. Just as in the case of the hearing on the proposed liquor advertising bill, held before the house alcoholic control com-i mittee yesterday, there is seldom any new or pertinent ar guments developed for or against a measure at such hear ings. Usually as was the case at yesterday's hearing on a measure the committee had already voted to report adverse ly iicn sessions are merely a gesture of courtesy to some group or organization sponsoring certain measures. They are usually demanded and arranged for bv some paid propagandist as an occasion for gathering his followers together for a performance in which he occupies the center of the stage. The speakers recruit their own audiences and invariably spend more time endeavoring to impress them than the committee which is presumed to be weighing the merits of the bill under discussion. It is an easy matter to assemble a crowd of advocates or opponents of any proposal and it is seldom that those in attendance represent a cross section of public opinion. It would be far better for committees to require the submission in writing of all arguments and confine oral hearings to the author and one opponent of the bill to be heard without a hand-picked audience. Applause from such groups means no more than that which js mechanically manufactured and broadcast to please vanity of radio performers and fool th lUUasrs.- I Editor and Publisher cenu a month: t5 00 a year In advance. months 12.75; 15.00 a year In advance entitled to the use for publication of not otherwise credited In this paper. objective the complete paralysis and economic life of the com victory for constituted au state, and that local authori act, labor organizations are as private corporations are. lists and financial state period.

The. Eugene experiment follows in general outline the one now under way at Chelan. Wash., but differs in some respects. The original $400 that will be needed to finance the first months' expenditures will be subscribed by merchants . of .the city. - The Idea was started by Charles Paine, district Townsend organ izer. The merchants who agree to contribute from $5 to $25 each also agree to pay the two per cent trans action tax each time one of the paper dollars is spent at one of their stores. The pensioners in turn agree to make purchases at those stores with the dollars, which will carry a space for transaction re cords on the back. The lucky two will be selected Thursday January 28. The next morning they will Mart their splurge. The one selected will have to qualify in all Town5end particulars. SEEK NEW FENCE RIVERSIDE DRIVE County Engineer Hubbs yesterday conferred with Engineer Davis for the city In regard to a new fence on Riverside drive south to replace the pre.sent antiquated fence which is broken down in places and in many places has entire sections gone The fence separates the county high way from the Oregon Electric tracks and many cars have gone through the fence onto the track, some fa taJlties resulting. A long petition was filed some time ago asking re placement of the fence, or rather its substitution with the standard kind of highway fence now la use, using heavy posts and cables. Hubbs stated that Darts seemed to agree a fence is needed and both engineers agreed that if a fence is put In the Oregon Electric should aaMst. It Is understood a new fran chise for the railroad company is pending settlement of this and other requests being asked of the rail-1 road company by the city.

The ideas advanced were that he comes from a big pivotal eastern state. that he could be counted on to carry on the liberal Roosevelt tra dition, that he is in the favor of National Chairman Farley. Two others mentioned were Ag riculture Secretary Wallace and Senator Bennett Clark of Missouri. The politico do not care parti cularly for Wallace, but some fear ed he might be Mr. Roosevelt's choice. Clark has some active back ing already started in the midwest, but his standing with "the organ ization" is short of altltudinous. ! No one made any beta against the possibility of a third term draft I of Mr. Roosevelt. I Not many republicans came to the inauguration, except the Con gressional republicans who could not avoid it. No gathering of the republicans was needed, however, to disclose the fact tnat Senator Vandenberg is the only choice the leaders can visualize from this dis tance. There is some talk of Alf Land on coming to the senate from Kansas next year to take hold, but it is rather indefinite. Very quiet-j ly and naturally. Vandenberg is be ing pushed forward as the policy leader of the party In Congress. While the nominal leaders In and out of Congress are being more or less passive. It Is Vandenberg who is beginning to determine the par ty's position by his stand on the issues of the day. His republican colleagues seem to feel the party should start earlier this time to build up a man or men.

Jan. 21 UK Search for the kidnap-slayer of Charles Mattson extended to the slums of Pacific coast cities today as police worked on the theory that the kidnaper, failing to collect the the ransom, and fearful of attempt ing to obtain employment or relief. would seek a hideout in an inexpen sive locality. More than a score of suspects were detained in five northwest cities and almost as many more were held in other sections of the nation as a result of orders by J. Edgar Homer, head of the federal bureau of investigation, to round up ail suspicious characters. In Portland. Ore., one suspect, who, according to police, gave the name of George Wilson. 38. was still booked as "held for federal govern ment." He had shouted impreca tions against Dr. Mattson, father of the kidnap victim, when arrested. and was sentenced to 30 days In jail on a technical charge of va grancy. Twenty-eight persona were de tained for questioning in Seattle and 11 of these, when found to be armed, were held on definite charg es but there was no Indication that any evidence had been found that any of them were connected witn the kidnaping case. Another arrest was made in Oak land, Calif., where an itinerant, who, according to police, had been sleeping in box cars, was arrested. It was reported he resembled des criptions of the kidnaper and hla fingerprints were sent to the bu reau of investigation In Washing ton. Bankhead "s own private idea.

You may depend on Agri culture Secretary Wallace to tear down the capiat, stone by stone, un less the sugar processing tax is re passed by Congress. Those warm words he spoke the other day in fa vor of re-un position of the tax were the result of weeks of inner troubles. What led up to the outburst was the refusal of the processors to allow the farmers a large share in spite of the pressure put on Ultra by AAA (in a purely advisory capacity, of course). I Wallace intimated he would scrap the whole quota idea unless Congress authorizes the tax. This is strong talk, aa the Cuban agreement pro vides an automatic tariff of 3 cenu At the expiration of the quotas. it would mean one of two things: (1) The situation would revert to its 1933 status, with the protected domestic Industry in a position to expand and kill the Cuban trade, or else (2) the administration would change the Cuban treaty so the tariff would not go all the way back to 3 cenu. Even the phrase. "Tariff Protection," gives low tariff Wallace the creeps, and the second alterna tive would threaten the domestic industry with extinction. In other words, Mr. Wallace is up to his ears in the sugar, and It not dry sugar either. He must get the processing tax authority to aave himself, and he probably will.

The remainder, the association's committee on home sewing promo tion said, "do little or no sewing because they have never been taught, and are consequently un able to use fabrics, patterns and other home sewing supplies." The report pointed forlornly to the maids and young matrons of the land, saying: The retail piece goods business would be much better today if the 16.200.000 women between the ages of 14 and 29 had been given ade quate and proper sewing instruc tion" I The committee proposed revival of the Sewing Institute, Inc., form ed In 1931 and suspended later for lack of funds.' in order to get the feminine population back to the! sewing machine.

Ramsey and Conner Immediately served no tice of appeal and stays of execution were granted until Saturday. The court was thrown Into an up roar shortly before sentence waa passed when Ogden ruled that only new evidence would be admissable at the session. "You are as craven as those three men. You are afraid to hear what I have to say." King shouted, pointing to prosecuting attorneys. The four were convicted largely as the result of a confession by Wallace, who Implicated the other three and Mid that they had con spired to "get" Alberta because they opposed his "conservative" labor policies. All defendants except Wallace contended throughout the trial that they were victims of a "frameup to discredit union labor." and charg ed that Wallace's purported confes sion was untrue.
