Labor Bill Battle Looms Representative John S. Wood
(D., Ga.) holds a copy of his bill which a coalition of republi
cans and southern democrats hope to pass in Washington,
D. C, in place of the administration's labor bill. The measure
would repeal the Taft-Hartley act by name and then re-enact
most of its provisions. The administration hopes to split the
coalition by the time the house is scheduled to resume debate
on labor bills. (Acme Telephoto)
Traffic Death Record Low;
Long Cold Spell Big Aid
By WILLIAM WARREN
(United Prrai Stiff Corrmpondrnt)
Oregon marked up its best highway traffic death rate on record
in the first three months of this year, Secretary of State Earl T.
Newbry reported today.
But he added with a frustrated sigh that the record didn't
necessarily reflect more conscientious, cautious driving on the
part of an aroused motoring
PT& T Cancels
Union Contracts
Seattle, May 2 The Paci
fic Telephone and Telegraph
company gave notice today it
Intends to cancel all contracts
with the Independent Communi
cations Workers of America
union in Washington and Ida
ho. Eight thousand employes are
involved.
In a statement Issued to all
employes, the company declar
ed the contract with plant work
ers will be cancelled In 30 days
and that with commercial and
traffic employes in 60 days.
At the same time, the compa
ny offered to re-employ, effec
tive tomorrow, the 28 employes
dismissed as a result of work
stoppages In Tacoma, Olympia,
Shelton and Seattle.
The telephone company de
clared the contracts with the
CWA were being cancelled be
cause of "the unwillingness of
the unions to be realistic toward
the company's wage offer."
Negotiations betw e e n the
company and union have been
under way for nearly a year
The statement said, however,
that contract proposals made to
the CWA during March are not
being withdrawn.
The letter added these propo
sals were comparable to those
aow held by all telephone com
pany employes, except those In
Washington and Idaho.
Accounting employes In the
two states are not covered by a
contract at the present time.

public.
Rather, said the secretary, the
record can be attributed mostly
to the unusualy severe weather
conditions which resulted in
slower and more careful driving
in January and February.
Pointing to this record of
weather-enforced traffic safety,
Newbry. issued a plea to Oregon
motorists to keep up the good
work on a voluntary basis.
Death rate for the quarter
was estimated at 4.5 per hun
dred million miles of travel,
compared with 7.3 for the same
period last year. The death rate
figure relates fatalities to miles
of driving, and is nationally
used as an accurate compari
son of actual risk, Newbry ex
plained. Incidentally, Oregon's
death rate for the quarter was
far below the national average.
Travel for the quarter was es
timated at slightly over one bil
lion miles 4 percent below the
first quarter of 1848. A slump In
traffic fatalities from 83 to 47
coupled with the high mileage
resulted in the more favorable
death rate, Newbry said. Then
he concluded:
"When we compare these 47
traffic deaths with the 112 kill
ed in 1947 and 104 in 1946, it is
easy to see how slower driving
will save lives. Cautious driving
enforced by road conditions did
it onee. Cautious driving on a
voluntary basis can continue to
do it."

Referendum on
DL Time Bill
A referendum attack against
the legislature's daylight saving
time bill was launched today by
six residents of the Portland
area.
They filed with the state de
partment today a preliminary
copy of their referendum peti
tion against the bill which
would allow daylight saving
time in Oregon only when the
governor proclaims it for the
whole state.
If the sponsors of the referen
dum get 15,926 signatures by
July 16, then the bill would go
on the November, 1950, general
election ballot. If they fail, the
bill would become law July 16.
and thus make illegal the pres
ent dayight time adopted by
Portland and nearby communi
ties. Sponsors of the referendum
are Lee Stiff, Jr., route 1, Os
wego; and the following Port
land residents: Eva Heffner,

Value of Ports .
The importance of shipment
by water to the economic life of
the northwest was stressed dur
ing Monday's chamber of com
merce luncheon by D. J. Mc-
Garity, general manager of the
Portland commission of public
docks. Steamship transportation
means a saving of millions of
dollars in freight rates, espe
cially in the transportation of
such commodities aa lumber,
cherries in brine, cannery prod
ucts and similar articles, said
McGarity.
McGarity said the growth of
Portland from the maritime
standpoint, depends upon the
upstate. He described the port
of Portland as being the "gate
way to and from the hinter
land." In this connection he
urged full cooperation between
Portland and the rest of the
northwest. He stated that the
development of the state and
the northwest is dependent upon
maritime activity.
Development of the Willam
ette river to the point where it
can carry year round traffic, is
of great importance to the state,
McGarity declared.
A group of sixth graders from
Garfield school provided choral
numbers during the luncheon.
The Salem Senators were
guests of the chamber.
Picnic Plans, Started
Lyons The PTA is making
plans for the last day of school
picnic which will be held on
the grounds at the Lyons school
house. There will be contests,
games, races with prizes given.
There will be a basket lunch
served at the noon hour with
coffee, lemonade and punch to
be furnished by the PTA. It is
also planned to have loudspeak
ers so that everyone can hear
what is going on.
