Ask Conference
With Governor
Two CIO leaders will ask
Governor McKay today to help
keep Hawaiian pineapple barges
away from Oregon.
The dispute over the barges
"rightfully belongs to Califor
nia." said George Brown, state
I CIO secretary, who requested
the meeting with the governor.
"All we are doing in Oregon
lis furnishing a battleground . . .
The destination of the cargo is
1 California and trucks sent . .
jito get it are from California,'
Brown said.
The other participant in the
conference with the governor
will be Matt Meehan. interna
tional representative of the CIO
longshoremen.
Brown said in a statement
from Vancouver, B. C, where
he was attending a CIO wood
workers convention, "The peo
ple of Oregon are being made
the goats for a situation they
had nothing to do with in the
first place."
Governor McKay invited
newspapermen to sit in on the
conference "because I think the
public should know what I say
when I tell 'em off."
He also invited representa
tives of the owners of the barge
to come to the meeting.

$65,000 Price
For Senators
That the Portland Beavers
might seriously consider a bid of
S65.000 for the Salem franchise
in the Western International
baseball league and its physical
property at Waters park was in
dicated Friday forenoon by Wil
liam Mulligan, business manager
for Portland.
The Salem committee, headed
by Harry V. Collins, following
a conference earlier in the day
contacted Mulligan by telephone
and made an offer of slightly
more than $65,000 for the Sena
tor franchise and physical pro
perty. Mulligan said the tender
would be considered and then
asked for a meeting with the
committee early next week.
While the full amount of vol
untary subscriptions to the fund
being raised for the purchase
of the property was not made
public, Bruce Williams, a mem
ber of the committee, said the
sum was "more than anticipated."

North Fork Road
Survey Studied
At the request of lumbermen
and others interested in a pro
posed change of alignment of
the road up the little North Fork
of the Santiam, County Judge
Grant Murphy has directed
County Engineer Swart to resur
rect an old survey made in 191J
following approxi m a t e 1 y the
changes in the road which are
now being sought.
The project involved is one
sought by the lumbermen and
several residents which would
take the road across the river
at a new bridge about two miles
below the present Lumker's
bridge and carry the road along
the other side of the river from
where it now wends along the
mountainside. They say the pro
posed road would do away with
steep grades and slides and pay
for itself in maintenance charges
alone in a few years.
Several of the lumbermen
have signed a statement which
has been filed with the court of
fering services of their caterpil
lars, men and other equipment
to assist in laying out the grade
for the new road.
They have now asked for a
copy of the old survey so they
will have a basis on which to
work in asking land owners
along that side of the river to
donate right-of-way.
Engineer Swart said that he
believes the old survey is still in
existence and will make a search
for it.

will speak at the first fall meet

Commerce October 7, according
to C. L. Marsters, secretary. Ar
rangements have also been com
pleted for a joint meeting with
the woman's club the evening of
November 10 when Dean Theo
dore Kratt, of the University of
Oregon school of music, will
speak and play piano selections.
Reports of an end to the an
thracite strike were heard yes
terday but union officials de
clined to comment at the time.
More than 400,000 soft coal
miners in the north, west and
south still will be idle. Contract
negotiations at White Sulphur
Springs and at Bluefield, 90
miles away, have been thorough
ly bogged down.
Lewis put his miners on a
three-day week in July but the
anthracite and western fields
were not affected. However,
miners in those areas did join
fellow unionists in the Septem
ber 19 walkout over the pension
situation.
Operator reaction to the new
order was rapid and bitter.
George H. Love of Pittsburgh,
chief spokesman for mine own
ers of the north and west, said
the action shows "the absolute
arrogant and ruthless control
this particular union has over Its
men in all sections."
Love contended it is now dom
onstrated that the September 19
walkout was "no spontaneous
uprising but a carefully thought
out pressure strike against the
public."
Announcement was made Fri
day that Paul H. Boyd, district
sales manager for Union Oil
company in Salem, has been pro
moted to the company's head of
fice in Los Angeles as manager
of fuel oil, asphalt and burner
oil sales, covering all the com
pany's operations. October 1 is
the effective date.
This was one of several an
nouncements relative to person
nel in the Salem district. L. C.
Burkland will replace Boyd as
district sales manager here, and
Lynn Jackson of Hoquiam,
Wash., has been assigned to the
Salem district to fill a newly
created position as lubrication
engineer.
Dave Gray has been assigned
to Portland as property repres
entative, and is replaced in Sa
lem by "Chuck" Dalzell. M. L.
Crowe has also been transferred
to Salem as retail representa
tive.
It is further announced that
Dick Hayward has been appoint
ed resident manager for Salem.
Burkland, who succeeds Boyd,
comes here from Los Angeles
and his wife and family will
arrive soon. Jackson, who has a
wife and three children, has
bought a home and will be lo
cated in Salem this week. Dal
zell, wife and daughter have al
ready moved here. Crowe, wife
and two daughters will move
here as soon as they can find a
house to buy or rent. Mr. and
Mrs. Hayward have rented an
apartment.

Fletcher Johnson
Here from Bolivia
Salem visitor Thursday was
Fletcher W. Johnson, former Sa
lem man and son of Mr. and
Mrs. William H. Johnson of 945
North 16th street, who has been
in Bolivia.
Johnson, employed by the In
ternalional hotels, had been with
a hotel company at Sucre, Boliv
m, but this month returned to
the States because of the unset
tled conditions in that country.
He made the trip back to the
States by air.
Prior to going to Bolivia this
summer he had been at Keflavik
Iceland, with one of the com
pany's hotels, going there in
December, 1948. His wife and
small son have been in Portland
while he was in South America.
Later, while the freight was
on a siding for a passenger
train, he flagged down the pas
senger train. Then he boarded
the freight locomotive and in
troduced himself for a second
time to Campbell and fireman
Ben J. Mnckowiac, 24, Portland.
After the train started, Hop
kins began lighting fusees
warning flares waving them
in the air and discarding them
The engineer ordered him to a
seat in the cab and told him to
"take it easy."
Yanks Throttle Open
As the train began to pick up
speed after leaving downtown
Salem, Hopkins suddenly reach
ed over the engineer's shoulder,
Campbell said, and yanked the
throttle wide open. At the same
