Olmscheid Is Right
Why people, who have an axe to grind,
always want to chop sonething down
with it is a mystery to most of us. But
that seems to be the case, as far as the
attempted organization of fruit workers
of southern Oregon in Medford is con­
cerned lately.
Of course, there are many orchardists
who will attempt to pay the same scale
of wages as last season, when they were
forced to rock bottom rates through ne­
cessity, while this year growers will re­
ceive a reasonable sum for their fruit.
One of the chief objectives of the ad­
ministration’s efforts to raise the price
of farm products has been—like in in­
dustry, too—not to put money into the
hands of owners and employers alone,
but to put it in hands of all workers
connected with farming and, in this case,
fruitraising.
There are instances known where ri­
diculously low wages are being paid
pickers, and where growers alibi that
they have been taking it on the chin for
several seasons and are entitled to a
breathing spell between higher prices
and higher wages that will absorb some
of the advantage. But this type of grow­
er evidently forgets that the laborer and
picker, too, has been taking it ol the
chin during past few seasons.
However sympathetic we might be
with underpaid pickers, however, it is
hard to see where the Cannery and Agri­
cultural Workers union is going to help
much. Such leadership among unorgan­
ized classes seldom is to the good, and
The Miner believes Sheriff Olmscheid is
wise in appointing 250 special deputies
“just in case.”
The Miner is a booster for organized
labor and has always carried a union
label in its masthead. But it feels that,
just as capital has an obligation to labor
to understand humanity, labor has a
moral obligation to itself and to the
country to be rational and honest about
its use of organization. And for that rea­
son we can see no probable benefit to
come from the invasion of doubtful or­
ganizers into this section, but can see
much potential trouble.
Unionism, in its more honest and sin­
cere aspects, is a good and wholesome
thing for the worker, the employer and
the country. But floaters, pickers and
youngsters employed in fruitraising and
harvesting can hardly be expected to un­
derstand real values of unionism and or­
ganization in a few days time. Those
not instilled with the nobler phases of
collective bargaining are more likely to
behave as a mob instead of an organiza­
tion when taking concerted action.
The word “union,” however, has been
a prominent one in the history of our
country. And it means just as much to
the progress of labor and business as it
did to the several states who recognized
the fact that “in union there is
strength.”
But the “strength” has human value
only when it is used in a constructive,
manner.

Gets a Big Reception
Southern Oregon’s leading daily, the
Medford Mail Tribune, modestly claims
it has “more paid-up circulation” than
all other newspapers of the county com­
bined. The Trib concludes from this that
advertisers need only the one medium
and that they are more or less duplicat­
ing their expenditures when they use
other smaller papers over the county.
But even the Tribune must feel a
shortcoming somewhere, for it publishes
5000 free copies of a “merchants” edi­
tion to fill in gaps it seems to feel are
left by its paid-for distribution. With
this free sheet added to their list, the
Tribune is attempting to educate adver­
tisers—the ones who furnish lifeblood
to the press—to use the one medium, and
to forego the weeklies.
But somehow or other we feel con­
fident southern Oregonians don’t want
a one-sided monopoly from a business
standpoint, because that would give
them a one-sided monopoly from a news
standpoint, also. There are a few read­
ers who like to have an editor at home
when civil war breaks loose, and who
appreciate the story behind a story of
how a crank flew up and blacked some­
one’s eye.
And, just as much as one newspaper
can’t give all angles to a situation in its
news columns, is it impossible for a lone
newspaper to possess all the advantages • The Clyde Fields family, of this

Golf Clubs for Sale
Rivers Peterson, chairman of the re­
tail code authority, in a recent radio
address had the following to say about
“hardships” which codes work on small
businessmen:
“There is talk about the hardships
imposed upon small business concerns
by codes. So far as the retail code is
concerned most of the complaints from
small business concerns have been that
the rules were not stringent enough. • •
I know the trials and troubles of the
small merchant. In only one respect does
the retail code impose a hardship on
him.
“He does have to work longer hours
than he formerly did so his employes
may not work as long as they once did.
But I have never known a business to
suffer because its owner was forced to
work long and hard. Thousands who
have attained success have worked
longer and harder than any code will
ever require.
“The retail code may take some busi­
ness men off the golf course, or away
from other distracting diversions, but
the time may come when they will count
these seeming hardships as blessings.”
Work generally is a great bother to
most of us but, like Mr. Peterson says,
it also is a great blessing. And particu­
larly necessary during times like these
when we all are interested in climbing
back to business security.
However, the fact that NRA’s de­
mand that the small employer work
harder that his employes may work less
hours is one of the many paradoxes that
are resulting from an application of
theory to a condition.
