Taber Likens
Hitler to Nero
Portland. Ore., Nor. 31 W
Adolf Hitler was likened to the
"Neroa of Rome" by Louis J. Taber,
master of the National Orange, In
a memorial service speech last
night before several hundred dele
gates to the 72nd annual conven
tion. Taber said Hitler was "placing
himself and his philosophy without
the pale of civilization . . not since
the Neros of Rome has the world
witnessed such pagan disregard for
the spiritual ideals of Christianity."
The Orange, he continued, was
"proud . . . that 70 years ago our
order forever banned communists
from membership" and continued
"just as the Orange had the cour
age to ban communists . . , may
we today have the courage to dedi
cate our lives not only against
communism but against nazllsm
and fascism that are threat to
freedom and liberty.'
He calledupon the million Oran
ge rs to lead a new "crusade to
make democracy function and to
erect barriers against the triple
evils of communism, fascism and
nazllsm."
The delegates, back In Portland

Chicago Stock
Yards Tied Up
By CIO Strike
Chicago, Nov. 21 0P Livestock
trading at the stockyards was halted
today by a strike called by the CIO
packing house workers union against
the Union Stock Yards and Transit
company.
Police Capt. John Prendergast,
who assigned 100 policemen to spe
cial duty at the yards, reported about
175 stock handlers had refused to go
to work.
He said the strike was for higher
wages and vacations. A spokesman
for the company said no grievances
had been submitted by the workmen.
The livestock handlers union, an
AFL affiliate, was not participating.
In previous years there have been
similar strikes called shortly before
the International Livestock Exposi
tion, which opens at the yards Sat
urday.
Commission house employes pen
ned livestock and major packers
operated hog and sheep slaughter
ing departments on direct ship
ments only. Cattle killing virtually
was at a standstill and no quota
tlons were available.
A statement Issued by the packing
workers' organization committee ov
er the signatures of Hank Johnson
assistant national director, and Herb
March, organizer, charged the Stock
Yards and Transit company with
"an increasingly vicious campaign
of terror.
"The present tie-up is the out
growth of the company's refusal to
bargain in good faith," the state
ment said In part "The direct pro
vocation leading to the stoppage was:
"First, the slugging of Ben Brown,
the local's president, on company
property when he was going about
his duties as feedman.
The statement charged the local's
office was riddled with bullets and
bombed since bargaining negotia
tions were begun with the company.
O. T. Henkle, vice-president and
general manager of the Union Stock
yards and Transit company, said the
union statement about a "campaign
of terror" was "outrageous" and
"not true."
Henkle also denied the company
had refused to bargain, asserting
negotiations had been In progress
until yesterday.

Berkowitz Asks
Prayers for Jews
Portland. Nov. 21 m Rabbi
Henry J. Berkowlts of Temple Beth
Israel Sunday told 2,000 Portland
Jews, united In a community serv
ice to pray for persecuted members
of their race in Germany, that
"this is the darkest hour In Jewish
history."
He declared the current pogrom
was the worst of all Jewish perse
cutions because of the tremendous
number Involved, because the vic
tims are cultured and proud people
and not "ghetto" folk, because they
have no sanctuary nor refuge, and
because the persecutions represent
ed a "ghastly reversion to barbar
ism In this so-called enlightened
age. .

Greeley Says
Lumber Industry
Loses by Pad
Seattle. Nov. 21 JPh The west
coast lumber Industry was a loser in
the new British and Canadian
trade agreements. Col. W. B. Gree
ley, secretary-manager of the West
Coast Lumbermen's association, said
today.
He asserted the only conclusion
that can be reached from study of
the pacts was that lumbering had
suffered a definite loss.
The agreement did not open the
door of the British market "by
even a crack" for the great bulk of
lumber used In housing and every
day construction which Is less than
11 Inches wide. -he said.
"The 'lumber concession' by the
United Kingdom Is 90 per cent a
paper concession only," Greeley
continued. "It may enable Ameri
can exporters to sell a little more
freely in England the high grade
clear and industrial Items which
are of short supply In British Co
lumbia; and they may get a little
higher price for what they sell. That
Is all.
The agreement does not make
the American west coast sawmill
competitive with the British Co
lumbia sawmill In the English mar
ket. It cannot restore any worth
while volume of trade. It does
break down the barrier of preferen
tial tariffs."
He said Canada, In practical
terms, "stands to gain more real
trade in the United States than
the west coast will gain in Eng
land." Illinois Selected

Wool Growers in
Doubt of Effects
San Francisco, Nov. 20 (P1 W. P.
Wing, secretary of the California
Wool Growers association, said today
the state's sheepmen were uncertain
what, if any, effect the actual recent
signing of the British-American
trade agreement would have on their
market. This was because, he said,
the agreement was discounted in ad
vance during the spring market a
market marked, he said, by a drop
in purchases and a fall in prices
caused by fear on the part of man
ufacturers of tariff reductions in the
agreement. He said further reper
cussions would develop only after
there had been time for reflection
of wholesale and retail trade condi
tions. British Engineer
