S at a recent English-Speaking Union dinner at Waldorf in New York, Union Control Law Is Argued Today The fate of Oregon's union control law, which the voters passed in November, 198, by a margin of 197,771 to 148,460, was before the state supreme court today when five justices were 10 near arguments (a p. m.)- in the attack by labor unions onilftW'" argued that it "arbitrarily the constitutionality of the law, The law prohibits picketing or boj'cotting of employers unless; more than half of their employes j are engaged In a labor dispute, pro-' hlbits unions from collecting more dues than they actually need, pro hibits anyone from interfering with the marketing of agricultural prod ucts, opens books of unions to in spection by their members, and pre vents unions from stopping any person from accepting work from any employer. The suit attacking the law was filed by the AFL, CIO and the rail road brotherhoods, with the Amer ican Civil Liberties union Inter vening on behalf of the unions. Cir cuit Judges Robert Tucker of Port land, James T. Brand of Marsh field and Arthur D. Hay of Lake county ruled on July 8, 10B&, that the law ts valid. AFL Brief In Court The AFL brief before the state supreme court contended the regu lation of picketing "violates the fun damental and constitutionally pro tected rights of workers to Join and conduct unions." It argued also that the taw was vague and in definite, that it denies free speech and free press, and that it con flicts with federal labor legisla tion. The AFL cited the recent United State Supreme Court decisions which outlawed picketing laws in California and Alabama because they denied free speech, the AFL contending that the highest court's decisions in the two cases apply to the Oregon law. The CIO. asserting the union con-1 trol lw "is In truth an anti-labor and unreasonably abridges the ex ercise of the fundamental rights' of picketing, boycotting and exist ence of labor unions. The American Civil Liberties un ion, while asserting the law denies free speech and due process of law. said "the only legitimate purpose behind the enactment of this law was to prevent disorder and In timid a Hon.' Bain on Defensive District Attorney James R, Bain of Multnomah county, defendant In the case, denied all charges that the law Is Invalid, and said the law was passed in order to stop bitter warring between the AFL and CIO, and to stop violence and In timidation by labor unions. A decision in the case Is ex pected In two or three weeks. The only Judges not sitting in today's hearing were Justice Batley, who Is in Washington, D. C, and Justice Bean, who is 111. To the Editor: Despite U. S. A.'s holding the world's unemployment record, it is proposed to accept 2,500,000 refug ees in Alaska under an exploitation corporation like the old Hudson Bay company and the East Indian com pany. To thus aid their friends in Europe, these American would even split Alaska from the 48 states under an immigration quota against Alaska. In this connection 'tis Interest ing to note how unsatisfactory la bor conditions in California are speeding up the invention of to- bots. A beet lifter has been de veloped. It first loosens the top ped beets with a plow-like blade, then grabs each one by the head. This It gives a series of swift, up ward yanks which are supposed to remove any clinging soil. It al legedly never misses a beet. With such probable additions to unemployment, ought not our citi zenry be alert to block any at tempt to "amond to death" the Im migration Quota Acts? Sincerely, C.
