wounded more men than it number
ed on Its mustering day. Every of
ficer who served with the first di
vision was killed or promoted be
fore the Armistice was signed. The
general staff of the A.E.P. was
formed from the personnel of the
first division.
In all Its battles the first division
never failed to take an objective, It
never lost a position taken, it never
left a dead comrade unburled, and
all men who went to the rear In bat
tle, rode in ambulances.
The first division Is the only body
of men of any army to be decorated
as a unit by Marshal Petain, commander-in-chief
of the French ar
mies, with the fourngticrre. In order
to receive this decoration it was re
quired that the organization have
been cited twice In general orders.
The men of the first division were
the first to land In Prance, the first
to go into action against the enemy,
the first to raid and the first to be
cited singly In general orders, the
first to capture a town and the last
to come home.

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. M. Goethe.
