6 Czechs Slain
By Germans
Prague, Oct. 30 UP) The general
staff reported today six persons were
killed during disorders provoked yes
terday by Sudeten Germans in two
separate districts.
It said four persons died during
rifle attacks by Sudeten German
free corps members on a Csech
military patrol at Zelechovlce In

when he was killed after the battle

The sixth person reported killed
was a farmer in the commune of
Vazacka. The general staff announc
ed ha was working In his fields
when a German soldier fired on him.
It was said the trouble at Zelech
ovlce began when the Czech patrol.
protesting against occupation of the
village, visited the German com
mander and urged him to withdraw
his troops. The Czechs declared the
Germans had overstepped the new
frontier line In taking the place.
During military conference, res!
dents of the village began talcing
down swastika banners which had
been hung In windows prior to the
entrance of the German troops.
Members of the free corps, the
general staff asserted, hurried to the
neighboring village of Cum vice and
returned with a detachment of Su
deten customs guards and opened
fire on the Czechs.

Scott Urges
Valley Project
Concentrated efforts to speed up
the Willamette valley project, to
prevent dissensions between factions
and communities and to promote
development of the pulp Industry
were urged upon members of the Sa
lem Lions club Thursday noon by
Leslie M. Scott, president of the
Portland Chamber of Commerce.
Scott, taking as his text, "What's
Ahead for Oregon?" predicted the
Willamette valley project and en
largement of the wood pulp Indus
try would enhanoe Salem's position
in the business world to a large ex
tent. He told of the vast amount
of wood pulp and pulp products
which are being Imported and point
ed out the possibilities for this In
dustry In the northwest where 400.
000,000 cords of wood are available
for this purpose. He said that 3,-
000.000 are being consumed annual
ly while 4,000,000 are being added
each year through natural growth.
In touching upon the Willamette
valley project. Scott declared that
rain Is one of Oregon's greatest as
sets. The matter of controlling this
rainfall as It courses down the
streams Is a question which the
project will go a long way toward
solving. Irrigation, navigation,
power and control of erosion are all
tied up with the project, which has
the backing of the federal govern
ment. Advance on Hankow

Continuation of
Sprague Stock Up
from paga I
inspired radical element last
spring in a semi-successful effort
to beat Martin with Hess and quash
the prosecution of labor racketeera.
to endorse Hess for election over
Sprague.
Nor does the endorsement of
Hess by the communtstlcally dom
inated Commonwealth league cause
any loss of sleep In the Sprague
camp, which sees in that action
furtherance of its own efforts to
define the Issue of the gubernator
ial campaign as one between good
and bad government, of progres
sive conservatism vs. destructive
and demoralizing radicalism.
There are, Sprague strategists
assert, enough straight thinking
patriotic citizens in Oregon to In
sure the election of their candi
date if they will go to the polls and
vote.
Likewise, it Is their belief that
there are enough now thoroughly
aroused law abiding people In Ore
gon to defeat any candidate chos
en and backed by such racketeering
Interests as have been revealed in
the background of the Hess set-up
by the Moody goon report this
week.
Delegates See
Puget Sound
Tacoma, Oct 30 (fP) Two hundred
delegates of the 29th annual Pacific
Northwest Logging Congress saw
Puget Sound from the decks of a
ferry today as business sessions were
suspended during an excursion trip.
A banquet was to be held tonight
The convention theme. "Logging
for Continuous Production," received
its first airing Wednesday In a sym
posium led by representatives of
Redwood, Douglas fir and White
pine districts.
A series of papers from the various
districts stressed necessity of sus
tained production in all lumber ar
ras, but differed widely on methods
of reforestation. Proponents of se
lective logging, such as practiced
near Mineral, Wash., claimed that
system was more economical, gave
better fire protection, better re-
growth and resulted In Improved
public relations; while George Drake
of Shelton attacked the system as
uneconomical and impractical In
many parts of the country, he fav
ored sectional logging with occasion-
al re-seeding plots left between log
ged areas.
Nearly every paper presented sug
gested the real hope for logging lies
in development of new processes
utilizing cellulose, alcohol and other
lumber products which can be made
from young timber, cull trees and
varieties; not profitable.,,

Officials Work
On Details of
Wage-Hour Ad
Washington. Oct. 20 WV
Officials of the wage-hour ad
ministration studied today
the possibility an important
distinction in computing over
time payments may exist be
tween workers employed on a
weekly basis and those paid
by hourly rates.
As a result, it appeared pos
sible some wage earners might
legally continue to work more
than 44 hours a week after
the wage-hour law becomes effec
tive Monday without actually In
creasing their aggregate Incomes.
The Interpretation of the law
which creates this possibility haa
been given unofficially by wage
hour authorities In response to In
quiries by business men and indus
trialists preparing to comply with
the act.
Like other interpretations, how
ever, it is subject to court review.
If it should be held eventually to
constitute a violation, the employ
er acting on it would be subject
to penalties.
On this, as on other problems
arising under the law, each em
ployer must decide for himself the
nature and extent of his compliance
always aware any step he takes
may be challenged In court.
When the wage-hour law becomes
effective, the nation's standard work
week will be 44 hours. When em
ployes In Inter-state commerce work
more hours, they must be compen
sated the rate of time and one
half. These provisions have poeed
for officials the question of how
overtime Is to be figured for an
Individual employe.
This Is the unofficial advice which
some wage-hour authorities have
given In response to inquiries:
1. Any employe who worked on
an established hourly wage rate
must be paid overtime compensation
at one and one-half times that rata.
Such a rate may have been estab
lished by agreement between the
employer and employe, by contract
or by collective bargaining.
3. A worker now employed on a
flat weekly salary might be worked
overtime without Increased total pay
by regarding his hourly rate aa
being at a lower figure. (It would
have to be at least the legal mini
mum of 35 cents.)
Oame preserves are not modern;
they were established by the early
Norman kings of England.
