But the National Labor Relations Board is making it practically im possible for a working man to be long to the I. E. U. What Mr. Chapman asked his hearers to do was to write to con gressmen urging an amendment to the Wagner labor act which would provide punishment for violation of agreement by the unions as it now does for the employer. He pointed out that should an employer make working conditions so ideal, and pay high wages to keep an employee from becoming a union member that employer would be subject to fine under the Wagner act. The Labor Relations Board’s de cisions are not subject to review by the courts and he cited instances where the board had given advance information to the A. F. of L. in or der to undermine the I. E. U. Mr. Chapman gave praise to Gov. Martin for his stand for law and order in Oregon, and suggested that the utmost care be exercised in se lecting legislative and excutive can didates next yea’r. He asked that the up state save Portland from it self in this labor imbroglio, insistins ture was good because the rest of the state exercised ^better judgment with their ballots than did the me tropolis. Referring to Seattle, which is so completely dominated by Dave Beck that its mayor, Jno. F. Dore, gave public utterance to the statement, “Seattle takes orders from Dave Beck,“ Mr. Chapman added that Se attle’s mayor was not so handsome a man as Coquille’s.. Dave Beck seemed to rest quite heavily on the speaker’s mind for he continualy brought his name into his talk, once stating “the A. F. of •L. keeps its contracts but Beck forces the other fellow to break his contracts through his (Beck’s) pow er. Another statement was “the union member is willing to make sac rifices and pay dues. One trouble with the business man is that he won’t make sacrifices and he won’t always keep his agreements.” His conclusion was that if the United .States -baeomes i comptetely unionized in one huge organization and that a man can not get a job unless ha joins, thir country will never again be the land of the free which was the mainspring Of its founding.

The Timber & Sawmill Workers union in Coquille voted ^e proposal down almost unanimously at a meet ing here Sunday and the Plywood union took the same action Monday afternoon. - • —- - — Yesterday evening hand bills were distributed all over Coquille, headed “Why the Port of Coos Bay Remains Closed.” After reciting the propos als, the statement is made that only 170 votes of the 825 people employed at the plant were cast at the meet ings, and ask why 170 should be al lowed to control a matter so impor tant to all of Coos county. In reply to this it might be in quired how large was the vote, out of the total employed at the plant, which was cast when the C. I. O. took over the local unions several weeks ago, books, funds and all rec ords? Was it a majority of the un ion membership vote? Most de cidedly it was not.

Carl Mack, chairman of the city park commission, reported to the council Monday evening that the plans for flood-lighting Athletic Park were progressing. If it is done a small bleacher stand will probably be built at the southeast corner of the park and the light installed there for football and softball. He also stated that a donation of grass seed had been made to the commis sion so that next year the football team may have a turf field. .He was instructed by the council to have the fence, where it is weak ened and likely to fail and injure children, made solid, but not to at tempt a general repair of the fence until another athletic season arrives.
