Bill to End Labor
Racketeering Cited
"Contrary to propaganda being
disseminated by certain labor lead
ers the initiative bill of Oregon's
farmers, to liberate the state from
foreign labor dictators and racket
eers, does not strike at labor un
ionism," declares H. L. Shoemaker,
president of the Associated Farm
ers of Oregon.
"Contrary also to propaganda be
ing spread by the self same labor
leaders, there is a genuine need for
this particular legislation," he con
tinued, adding that the Associated
Farmers of Oregon were sponsoring
the measure in conjunction with the
Oregon Farm Bureau, Eastern Ore
gon Wheat league, Hood River
Growers club and other farm organ
izations and leaders.
"This farmers' measure," resumed
Mr. Shoemaker, "recognizes and
preserves every principal of labor
unionism the right to organize, bar
gain collectively, the right to strike,
picket and boycott.
"It strikes only at the power if the
foreign labor dictator and racketeer
to order a strike and invoke picket
ing and boycotting against employ
ees satisfied with the wages and
working conditions in order to force
them to pay tribute.
"In other words, it gives the work
ers of an industry the right to or
ganize themselves into a union, to
bargain collectively, strike, picket
and boycott when a majority votes
to do so, but prohibits labor over
lords and racketeers from usurping
those rights against the will of the
workers and use them for racketeer
ing purposes.
"In brief, this constructive meas
ure safeguards and protects labor,
agiculture, industry and the public
alike from the labor dictator and
racketeer.
"So much forlthis trumped up con
tention of these labor leaders, that
this measure militates against labor
unions.
Industry and Payrolls
"Now let us see what else this
farmers' measure does to liberate
the people of Oregon from the iron
grip of the labor boss and racketeer.
"To begin with it abolishes for
ever the indefensible jurisdictional
strikes which for the past few years
- have prostrated our shipping, par
alyzed agriculture and industry and
pauperized the workers.
"Oregon industries particularly
its lumber mills have been forced
to shut down again and again for
long periods of time by these juris
dictional strikes, throwing thousands
of workers out of employment, while
labor bosses of rival unions have
rangled over which one should have
jurisdiction and control over the
workers.
"It provides further that it shall
be unlawful for any individual or
organization to interfere wih or ob
struct the transporting and market
ing of agricultural and other pro
ducts. "In other words, it will prevent a
recurrence in Oregon of the disas
trous maritime strikes that cost the
people more than $800,000,000.
"In turn all this means that our
channels of trade and commerce will
always be open and the markets of
the world always be available to
Oregon products.
"It means further that the wheels
of inudustry will hum unmolested,
labor work unhindered, and our
farmers no longer be forced to pitch
fork their way to our local markets.
Ends Gangsterism, Racketeering
"This farmers' measure further
makes it unlawful for union dic
tators and racketeers to use money,
wrung from honest, law abiding un
ion men', to hire thugs and gang
sters to beat up honest workers,
burn and bomb property and per
petrate murder itself.
"Oregon is just emerging from
such a reign of labor terrorism, and,
if this bill is enacted into the law, it
will never witness another.
"This bill further makes it unlaw
ful for any individual or organiation
to prevent, hinder or molest any
person from working or any person
from hiring a worker.
"What does that mean?
Enthrones American Citizenship
"It means that every man has a
right to live, has the right to make
a living for himself and family.
"It means that our young men
our future citizens thousands of
them who are now walking the
streets without work, will be entitled
to work and earn a living without
the hindrance or molestation of la
bor union bosses and their hirelings.
"It means that all men are equal
and have equal rights means the
dethronement of the foreign labor
dictator and the enthronernent of
American citizenship.
"Now, I submit in all frankness
and candor, is there anything in any
of these provisions I have quoted,
to which an honest, law abiding
American citizen cannot subscribe,
be he laborer or employer, farmer,
professional, man or layman?
"Subtle propaganda is now also
being spread by certain labor lead
ers that this legislation is no longer
necessary as organized labor has set
up adequate police machinery of its
own to police its own organizations
and prevent another-reign of labor
terrorism.
When the Devil Was Sick
"This novel proposal reminds me
of the old familiar jingle:
'When the Devil was sick, the
Devil a Sain,t would be;
When the Devil was well, the
Devil a Saint was he.'
"It further reminds me that the
Oregon State Federation of Labor
in its convention in June at Tilla
mook adopted a resolution denounc
ing the prosecution of gangsters and
thugs hired by bosses and racketeers
of the Teamsters' Union during the
labor reign of terrorism as persecu
tions and pledging its financial aid
to these unions in the controversy.

on Page 59 of the published pro
ceedings of the Annual Convention
of the Federation.
"With that kind of a resolution
sanctioning crime on its convention
records what can the public possibly
expect in the way of policing and
law enforement at the hands of the
Oregon State Federation of Labor?
"Moreover were the proposal in
good faith the Federation would be
utterly powerless to prevent another
recurrence of labor terrorism in this
state.
Ridiculous Proposal
"In fact the strikes through which
Oregon has been passing the last
few years have been so replete with
rioting, violence and vandalism that
for a while they not only swept
aside all police authority but defied
the strong arm of the government
itself.
"It must be apparent to anyone
who has given the situation so much
as a passing glance that this whole
proposal of the Federation is so ut
terly ridiculous that it is unworthy
of any consideration.
"In conclusion let me sound the
warning to all voters not to be mis
led by any of this propaganda that
is put forth to encompass the defeat
of this meritorious and constructive
measure."

The Citizen's Retirement Annuity
bill which will appear on the No
vember ballot, was attacked as. "a
monstrous sales tax, a sales tax on
a sales tax, a pyramiding super-sales
tax," in a negative argument filed
for the Voters' Pamphlet by the Or
egon Business & Investors league.
The average daily wage paid
workers in Oregon industries during
June was $4.47, highest since last
September when it reached an av
erage of $4.63. Industries covered by
the Oregon Workmen's Compensa
tion act paid out a total of $154,
945,697 in wages luring the fiscal
year ending June 30, an increase of
12 per cent over the wages paid by
the same industries during the pre
ceding year.
