Strike Looms on
Atlantic Ships
Washington, Nov. IS WV-Federal
mediators disclosed today
they were considering appoint
ment of a fact-finding board to
head off a walkout of deck offi
cers which threatens to halt pas
sengers and dry cargo shipping
on the Atlantic and the Gulf at
midnight tonight.
William N. Margolis, assistant
director of the federal concilia
tion service, said shipowners
were standing pat against union
demands for a rotary hiring hall.
The AFL Masters, Mates and
Pilots union, whose members
now get preferential treatment
in selecting officers, want to
spread employment by taking
turns shipping out.
The organization has four or
five men with more on passen
ger vessels on each of the ships
affected. Oil tankers, coal car
riers and ships operating inside
the ports, are not involved.
Margolis said that if the dead
lock continues up to the last
minute, both sides will be asked
to call off the threat of a strike
and present their cases to a pres
Idential fact-finding board with
power to recommend a settle
ment. That kind of board was
appointed In the steel dispute
last summer.
The "America," luxury liner
of the U.S. fleet, advanced its
sailing time to two hours ahead
of the strike deadline setting
it for 10 p.m. tonight from New
York.
The S00 vessels In operation
for 38 companies involved in the
dispute employ about 2,000 officers.
In New York, an AFL official
said the effect of the threatened
strike would be extended almost
immediately to other AFL mari
time unions.

Millard to Try
Picket Rioters
Circuit Judge Orval J. Mil:
lard of Grants Pass was named
by Chief Justice Hall S. Lusk to
day to try the 23 longshoremen
who are charged with violence
in the hot pineapple case at The
Dalles.
Judge Millard is the third
Judge scheduled to hear the case.
The other two were disqualified
when the longshoremen's law
yers objected to them.
Circuit Judge Malcolm W.
Wilkinson of Wasco county is the
judge who normally would hear
the case, but the defense lawyers
objected to him. Then Chief
Justice Lusk appointed Judge
Dal M. King of Coquille to hear
the case, but they objected to
him, too.
The law says that a defen
dant can object to only two
judges. But since there are 23
defendants in the case, more ob
jections could be filed against
Judge Millard.
Only nine of the 23 defendants
have filed objections to judges
so far.

To Transfer

The way was cleared by the

authority recently directed its
officers to make a request to the

Bennett Talks
On Kids7 Day
"What shall I do as a parent
in the home to supply that what
the child most needs?" asked
Frank B. Bennett, superintend
ent of schools as he delivered a
"Kid's Day" address during
Tuesday's Kiwanis club lunch
eon.
The speaker said that due to
changing times and conditions,
the parent no longer has the op
portunity to teach his boy how
to work. He declared that "youth
is not lazy," but is in need of
the opportunity to learn how to
keep himself occupied profitably.
"Proper observance of Kid's
day," said Supt. Bennett, would
be that each parent convince his
youngster that "he is the most
wanted person." Materialism has
its place, continued the speaker,
but he urged that the parent
could accomplish through atten
tion that which is often neglect
ed. Such neglect, he pointed out,
means that youth becomes de
linquent and too often becomes
a responsibility of the state.
A number of persons engaged
in youth work were guests of
the club Tuesday noon.
Brannan Plan
Hit by Co-ops
Portland, Nov.. 15 Wl The
head of the national council of
farmers' co-operatives took a
mild slap at the so-called Bran
nan farm program today.
A. J. McFadden of Santa Ana,
Calif., co-op president, told del
egates to the annual meeting of
the agricultural co-operative
council of Oregon that the na
tional council looks with dis
favor on direct subsidies to farm.
ers. Secretary of Agriculture
Brannan's plan calls for such
payments.
McFadden said the council be
lieves in a program of abundant
production, marketing agree
ments, diversion of surplusses'
away from direct competition
and equal consideratior to all
farm commodities. The present
program lists as "basic" such
commodities as cotton, wheat
and tobacco.
Paul Carpenter, secretary of
the Oregon group, said there are
now 61 members, representing
80 percent of the state's co-operatives..
Their annual business is
$100,000,000. Now 28 years old,
it was the first such council in
the country, he said, and there
now are 30 modeled on it.
James Hill, manager of Pen
dleton Grain Growers and pres
ident of the state council, said
talk about co-operatives having
a tax advantage is misinformed.
"I deny we have any tax advan
tages," he said. "Any advantages
we have are offset by disadvan
tages." He predicted that future
business would resolve itself in
to a struggle between indepen
dents, including co-operatives
and nation-wide organizations.
