Back to Goon Davs
Dave Beck through his militant teamster' union has
moved on Portland to establish the same kind of labor terror
ism with which he so lone ruled Seattle. Because some of the
clerks, by no means a majority, are striking and picketing
Montgomery Ward & Co., an embargo is being placed on all
incoming shipments on all railroads tying up both the team
tracks" nnd freicrht warehouses.
As the warehouses are
goods and jammed with undisposable freight, including de-
lense materials, tne rauroaas win soon oe ioilcu vo uuuiy
shippers throughout the nation to send no more goods to Port
land. The strikers demand that the railroads handle no more
Ward freight but this the railroads cannot do for, under the
interstate commerce law and the laws of Oregon, the railroads
as common carriers must handle all shipments presented.
The railroads are not involved in any way in the dispute
hetween Monteomerv Ward & Co. and the union, neither is
the general public, the chief
pioyes want to airine, it tneu yLivuc&v. il mey wain, w
peaceably picket, that is also their right, but the right of the
public and the general welfare of the community is above that
of a special group. Such sabotage as preventing the delivery
of goods to parties not concerned in the dispute in an effort
to force a store to "come across" and accept dictation from
non-resident labor bosses is intolerable.
The people of Oregon thought they had remedied such
intolerable situations when they passed the initiative labor
control bill by a majority of 50,000 in 1938. For two years we
had comparative labor peace as
as well as industry and the general public profited thereby.
Then our supreme court upset the law, declaring it unconsti
tutional by what seemed split hair technicalities. The Fort
land situation is the direct result, with the labor racketeers
back on the job not only with
defense as well.
The Return of the Prodigal
James Hazen Hyde, expatriate son of the founder of the
Equitable Life of New York, has, after an absence of thirty-
five years, returned to his native land.
In 1905-06 Hyde was the talk of the country. Pampered
from birth, he inherited great wealth upon the death of his
father and became, not only vice president of the insurance
concern, but a director in forty-six corporations. He was then
thirty and a typical "man about town." His fool escapades,
particularly a party he gave at Sherry's, brought down upon
his head much public criticism and caused Equitable policy
holders to demand his resignation as an official also an inves
tigation of the insurance concern's affairs.
The investigation was
Hughes and public commendation of his work led to his elec
tion as governor of New York and then to higher honors.
Hyde, for thirty-five years, lived in idleness abroad on
money American money earned and left to him by his
father. He had no use for his native land until Hitler's sol
diers took possession of Paris
then beat it for Portugal and

to their small minds and so they settled down in Paris, the
Kiviera or elsewhere and proceeded to lead useless and pro-
fitless lives. Then came Hitler who gave them all a kick in
the pa'nts and confiscated much of their wealth. Now they
come slinking home, like dogs with tails between their legs,
only to find themselves like strangers in a strange land. Real

Making It Permanent
That the officials of the WPA consider it as a permanency
and a career job not only for themselves but for workers in
general is revealed by the speech of Howard Hunter, acting
commissioner of the Works Project Administration at New
Orleans, who proposes to use
plish this result.
Despite the fact that the 1940 census showed only about
6,000,000 unemployed the number being much reduced now
by defense projects and the revival of industry, Mr. Hunter
still claims there are 7,000,000 jobless, with 1,750,000 still on
WPA rolls most of who intend to stay on as long as they can.
The WPA is starting plans to create a huge reservoir of
work projects, that is projects designed for the occasion, for
unemployment when the defense program ends. Instead
therefore of being an emergency program, forced by unem
ployment, it is proposed to make the WPA an established fea
ture in American life, despite its destruction of individual
initiative and resource. Mr. Hunter states :
"We will plan a hugo reservoir of projects to embrace super-transcontinental
highways running north and south, Irrigation canals, which can
serve as conservation project In the great plains states, and other plans.
These various projects which would bo in addition to the normal WPA
undertakings such as those now being carried out in cities, counties and
states would be financed by the federal and state governments."
All this despite the fact that WPA construction is the
costliest possible and that highways, irrigation canals and
other public work projects can be built by contract at from a
third to a half of the cost of WPA work.

decided to take a look for himself,
He found a window, concealed by
shrubbery, which opened under the

he crawled through and there, lying
In front of him, were six bottles of

he was surprised. Here, he surmised.
some bootlegger had found the Ideal
place to plant his wares for a cus
tomer to pick up. So Dr. Taylor
gathered up the six bottles, took
them home, showed them to Mrs.
Taylor, and discussed the best me
thod of disposal. She promptly de
cided this by pouring the contents
of the six bottles into the kitchen
sink. But there was an aftermath
Mrs. Taylor proceeded to brew
enough nice English tea to fill the
six bottles. The bottles were filled,
the corks carefully replaced, and
Dr. Taylor returned to the church
and as carefully replaced the tea
filled bottles where he had found
them.
"To this day," said Dr. Taylor. "I
sometimes wonder what that boot
legger's customer said to the boot
legger after the customer had start
ed to regale himself from a bottle
and was rewarded with a sip of
gently brewed English tea.
We have a faint recollection that
somewhere about 16 years ago or so
a bootlegger was found dead In an
alley or some place In these parts.
Maybe that was the customer's
response to the draft of English tea.

tlons revealed at that time Andy had
secured the lamb on behalf of
lady who wished such an animal
to mow her lawn and parked It at
the Jail until he found time to de
liver It, which he did, duly. The
sequence came today. County As-
essor Shelton filed on T. J. Brabeo
Andy's chief deputy tax collector, a
personal property assessment on
said lamb which the assessor valued
at $5 for assessment purposes and
fixed tlie tax at 30 cents. Under
the law the sheriff now will be re.
quired to collect for the county 30
cents from himself. Andy was
called to Toledo today and we
haven't heard yet how and when
the tax will be paid. It sounds as
though maybe a courthouse feud Is
brewing.
The hobby show at the Methodist
church last night was up to all ad

Spokane Defies
Powers at Capital
By John W. Kelly
Washington, March 21 At an
executive session a subcommittee on
military appropriations had a couple
of Bonneville employes on the wit
ness stand and developed some in
formation. It was testified that Ad
ministrator Raver signed a contract
for power with the Reynolds Metals
Company for Cascade Locks, Ore.,
but for an unexplained reason wrote
a letter to Reynolds stating he could
get power wherever he wished to lo
cate and not Just at Bonneville. It
appears that Reynolds was ready to
settle at Cascade Locks, where he
would receive switchboard rate. Also
it appears that the Oregon tax com
mission Is alleged to have said the
lowest taxes would be at Cascade
Locks, the second highest at Port
land and the highest at Longview,
Wash.
Secretary of the Interior Ickes
supposed Reynolds was going to
Cascade Locks and word that the
plant was headed for Longview was
news to him. The witnesses stated
that a substation at Longview to re
duce the 200,000-odd kilowatts on
the through line would cost appro
ximately $1,500,000. It would require
300 days to assemble the material.
(Reynolds says he wishes to start
producing pig aluminum June 15).
If a substation is not built, then
lines would have to be run to Long-
view also at an approximate cost of
$1,900,000, and with national defense
orders there might be difficulty In
obtaining the materials.
Will Ships Be Armed?
Members of the subcommittee
wondered whether the government
would pay for a substation or trans
mission lines to Longview to favor
a contractor for powei when there
is a network of transmission lines
In the northwest with Innumerable
sites. There was no question of the
Reynolds company going to Long-
view, if It desires, but there was
question whether the government
should spend so much money to
accommodate a customer. No one
could object If the Reynolds com
pany furnished its own substation
or transmission line. The matter Is
one of administration entirely, al
though a provision might be written
that no funds for Bonneville can be
used for substations in the future.
The question Is under discussion
whether the ugly duckling ships to
be constructed on Willamette river
for the maritime commission will be
armed. Privately owned merchant
ships under the American flag are
to be armed, according to current
plans, with a couple oi guns, xnese
vessels will sail the Pacific to the
Far East, bringing to the west coast
such raw materials as tin, tungsten.
chromlte, rubber and other heavy
cargo and taking over routes which
have been developed by British
lines. Practically all the guns are
made in the navy yard at Wash
ington, D. C, on a three-shift
basis.
Frank Used Politically
Another matter Bill Knudsen Is
working on are contracts for the
Scotch boilers and reciprocating
engines to power the ugly ducklings.
He wants the boilers and engines
ready for Installation when a ship
slides down the ways. There is also
the mater of lifeboats, and
subcontract has been let for these.
Lifeboats can be turned out In mass
production In a number of shops
from Astoria to Vancouver, Port
land and way points.

to the registered voter, of Spokane
urging them to vote for municipal
ownership. Many of these pamph
lets accused the Washington waiei
Power company of spending large
sums of money to organize against
the election proposal. Administrator
Raver o( Bonneville and his entour
age went to Spokane and advocated
municipal ownership, with power
coming from Grand Coulee. The
federal power commission issued a
report on private utilities in Wash
ington state, with particular atten
tion to the Spokane company, re
garding funds to be used In the

pamphlets were disregarded.
No Farmers Here
President Roosevelt Is behind a
movement to change the immigra
tion was to permit German and Po
lish refugees to enter the United
States. Most of the refugees, It ap
pears, are lawyers, doctors and mer
chants, no farmers . . Lack of In
terest In vital legislative matters Is
shown by the small attendance In
house and senate when bills are
passed appropriating billions of dol
lars. If anyone suggested the ab
sence of a quorum It would be diffi
cult to round up enough members
Attitude of members Is that the
committee In charge of the bills
know all about them; that they will
pass anyway. i
Salmon Industry
Still in Balance
Stanford University, Cal, March
21 (U.RJ Three more years will de.
clde whether science can save the
Columbia river's salmon Industry,
threatened by completion of Grand
Coulee dam, a Stanford university
release said today. The dam's first
power unit opens next Saturday.
Fish ladders are not feasible at
Grand Coulee and the towering
dam prevents millions of salmon
one of the nation's greatest natural
food resources from returning to
their native streams to lay their
eggs as Instinct impels them. Tlie
fish would die if no effort were
made to save them.
Under auspices of a three-man
advisory board appointed by the
U. S. bureau of reclamation, an ex.
periment designed to change the
life habits of the salmon is now in
Its second year. It Is an effort to
transplant the salmon to streams
below the dam during the spawn-
lng season. The salmon's life cycle
is five years. It will take this long
before any conclusions can be
drawn.
The three-man board consists of
