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

EUGENE TO TRY
OARP SCHEME
Eugene-, Ore., Jan. 21 (U.P Two
members of the Eugene Town send
club. a. man and a woman, will be
selected to start January 29 for a
$200 a month spending spree desig
ned to test practicability of the re
volvtug fund plan.
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

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. Both
engineers win recommend installa

iors. It U understood. If proper ar
rangement can be made all around.

KIDNAP HUNT
GOES TO SLUMS
Tacoma. Wash.. 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

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

it would mean one of two things:
(1) The situation would revert to
its 1933 status, with the protected

expand and kill the Cuban trade,

change the Cuban treaty so the tariff
would not go all the way back to 3

Protection," gives low tariff Wallace
the creeps, and the second alterna

New York, Jan. 31 More
than 27,000,000 American women

The merchants, who wsnt to sell
their piece goods In something like
the quantities they did in Grand

port that 92 per cent of Americas
homes have sewing machines, but
only 15,000.000 out of 43.000.000 wo
men know how to take their own
sutchea.
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

tion" I
The committee proposed revival
of the Sewing Institute, Inc., form

FACING PRISON
Oakland. Cat., Jan. 21 U.R Four
maritime workers, convicted of
second-degree murder In the slay
ing of George Albert, chief engineer
of the freighter Point Lobos. in an
unusual night court session, were
sentenced Just before midnight last
night by Superior Judge Frank M.
Ogden to from five years to life
imprisonment.
They ere Earl King. E- O. Ramsey,
Frank J. Conner and Ocorge Wal
lace. Attorneys for King. 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.
Alberts was found knifed to death
in his cabin on the freighter while it
was tied up in the Oakland harbor
and the prosecution charged that
