Harvey, Jr. The state administration is sprouting plenty of stray hairs over the Portland newspaper strike. One administration leader, who declined to permit the use of his name, said pub lic opinion might bring a bill during' the next legislature to force incor poration of labor unions. There never has been a strike In Oregon that affects so many peo pie," he said, "There probably will be more than 10,000 persons thrown out of work by the time the strike Is over, when one considers the effect it will have on the retail trade and Industries allied with the newspaper business, such aa newsprint. More than 4000 persons can thrown out of work by a Portland sawmill strike and the public doesnt seem to care very much because they don't realize its effect 'But when farmers can't find the produce markets In their papers, when Investors can't find the slock Unusual Talent On Stage Fare Unusual talent and artistic soil ity are very much In evidence this week-end at the State theatre where the current acta of eastern vaudeville are getting the most welcome greeting from theatre go ers. Special mention must be made of the work of Pat Hemmlntr and Betty, as entertainers of the first class. Their act Is pscked with laughs from start to finish. Unusual ability la that of Pat with the bow and arrow In breaking balloons held In Betty's mouth. The Three Castles, two blonde charm girls with their brother. Vernon, do some of the fanciest dancing, to the strains or St. Lou la Blues, ever seen on any stage. The act la high class from Beginning to end. Jackie Dolan Is tops at harmonica crooning and won the audience's hearty applause for his rendition of "Solitude." and "Cherry Blossom Lane." Frank Mann, colored en tertalner, gives a very fine imlta tlon of "Amos "n1 Andy" and also sings popular songs. The screen fare with this fine stage show In eludes Guy Klbbee In "The Big Shot," a comedy feature that Is tops In entertainment.

The republicans might have found their white hope for the United States senate when J. E. Bennett, Portland city commission er, who has led his city's anti gambling fight, indicated he would attempt to keep for the OO P. the seat to be vacated by Senator Fred erick Btelwer. Bennett'a surprise announcement gave the republicans their first can didate, although Secretary of State Earl Sneu and State Treasurer Ru- fus C. Holman have Indicated they might run either for senator or gov, emor. Holman candidacy plans, what ever they are, might be affected by his decision to take his wife to Ari zona or California to regain her falling health. Holman did not say how long he would be gone, but in dieated he might be away for some tune. The republicans began their cam paign for party revival last week at Rose burg by outlining a "program which will assure a sane, construc tive administration which will con' vine the destitute masses that their hunger will be appeased." Governor Martin and Senator McNary still refuse to take no for an answer regarding the U. 8. de pertinent of agriculture's decision against continuation of $7.50 per ton subsidies to Willamette valley flax growers. The department four times has announced Its withdrawal of the subsidy, but the fight for it still goes on. The latest blast against the de partment's decision came from L. L. Laws, msnsger of the state flax in, dustry, who said the department's "silly figures" showing the subsidy was not needed, were false. The department estimated that farmers would loe $18 an acre growing flax, while Laws, In a mass of statistical Information, said they coma maxe $22.35 an acre.
