The Quality of Mercy
ter served by the Industrial Em
ployees Union, the successor of the
4-L organization of war times, than
by either of the unions now engaged
in fighting one another.
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.

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.
