Petition Filed
In Intervention
The expected petition for a com
plaint In Intervention In the teach
ers' retirement law injunction pro
ceedings was filed In circuit court
here yesterday afternoon by the Af
filiated Teachers' Council of Port
land alleging that should the re
tirement law be set aside the tenure
of teachers both In the Salem and
Portland districts would be Jeopar
dized.
The petition charges that In event
this suit prevails It will be but
step toward the repeal of the tenure
law, dung certain attacks which
have been made on that law from
time to time.
Declaring If the tenure law were
repealed the petition says the eftl
clency of tha teachers and employes
ox tne districts under the teachers'
tenure law would likewise be mater
ially decreased through freedom of
school districts to discharge efficient
teachers for no good pedagogical rea
sons, but for purely personal or po
litical reasone not relevant to the
efficiency and skill of the teacher
or employe ... to the Irreparable
damage not only of the Interests of
such teachers and employes, but of
the school children and of the public
generally.
The Associated Teachers Council.
which would Intervene, the petition
states, is made up of a series of un
incorporated associations with one
exception, and that each association
Is organized for the purpose of pro
tecting the Interests of teachers and
employes aa well as of the public.
Attorneys for Edward A. MlUer,
plaintiff In the retirement fund In
junction proceedings. Intimated at
a recent session here that they would
have no objection to filing of the

Printer Strike May
Bring Legislation
By Paul W. 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

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

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.
