Washington, D. C, Nov. 20. Dave
Beck of Seattle, who was charged
with Al Rosser with being a con
spirator in the operation of "goon
squads" in Oregon, has called on his
teamsters union to boycott Yakima
valley fruit because he wants a
closed shop, which is what John L.
Lewis demanded of the captive coal
mines. Mr. Beck (Rosser is now ser
ving a term in Oregon penitentiary
for his part in the conspiracy) will
probably soon find himself up again

strikes and the closed shop move
ment until after the duration.
Part of the program initiated in
Yakima valley is to extend opera
tions into Oregon, if the Washington
affair is successful, and go after
the fruitmen of Hood River, The
Dalles, Medford and the Willamette
valley. Beck, himself, will not en
ter Oregon territory; his activities
with the goons are on record in the
office of the governor and he has
avoided the state since his hench
men were put in prison.

ers) was only curbed by President
Roosevelt sending the house a letter

repeal. This repeal finally carried
by a bare 18 votes.
.
Insiders assert tlial price control
legislation will not be passed on by
the senate until late in December,
probably not before January. There
is dissatisfaction with the price fix
ing bill brought in by the ways and
means committee, which held hear
ings for months. Neither the admin
istration nor congressmen like the
bill and before a vote comes it will
be so amended that its authors will
not recognize it. One group in "con
gress wishes to slap a lid on farm
products, but the farm bloc objects
to tampering with farm prices until
there is a ceiling on Ivages, arguing
that everything the farmer buys is
high and getting higher because of
the labor market. Farmers explain
that they would be satisfied with
present prices if they had the old
cost of production. For the time
being the major legislation to be
disposed of is the price fixing bill.
There is considerable resentment
in the national capital at the num
ber of British who have come to the
United States dukes, lords, knights
and just plain subjects. Feeling is
against the British because of tiheir
supposed uppishness and their pre
ference for playing on their own
tennis courts and golf courses, and
their repeated assertions that "This
is your war; why don't you get in?"
Lord Halifax, British ambassador,
has sensed this feeling of Americans
and is trying to overcome it. Once
a week, in the embassy, all of the
British who can crowd into the place
are given a lecture on the history
of the United States, its geography,
industries, recreations and the var
ious types of people. Young cadets
who are being trained for the RAF
have been furnished with a book
written for the purpose of explain
ing that the Americans are not En
glishmen; that there are all sorts of
Europeans in the United States, and
because English and Americans
speak the same language their ideas
are not necessarily the same nor
their cause common.
The book for RAF fliers advises
that when an American inquires,
"How do you like us?" it is not
dipomatic to begin telling the things
the Britisher does not like; the thing
to do is to discuss the points the
visitor appreciates. In the book and
at the embassy stress is laid that
Americans must not be judged by
motion pictures; that these pictures
are as far wrong in depicting Am
ericans as the screen is in showing
a true Britisher.
Secretary "Morgenthau's proposal
for saving one billion dollars a year
for the duration contains one point
that will not meet with favor in sev
eral parts of Oregon. The secretary
would like to "freeze" reclamation
projects and not initiate any new
ones until peace comes. The secre
tary suggests that the reclamation
engineers and the army engineers
resurvey various projects and deter
mine which can wait. This applies
also to flood control, such as the
Willamette valley project, and every
river and harbor project from one
end of Oregon to the other.
It is certain, however, that re

NINTH IN FARM JUICE
Oregon has made such rapid ad
vances in farm electrification that
it has jumped from fourteenth to
ninth rank in the nation since 1934,
according to figures released by the
Rural Electrification Administration.
Only 23 per cent of Oregon farms
were electrified in 1934, while to
day 72 per cent of the farms are
receiving the advantages of rural
electrification. The national per
centage of electrified farms rose
from 11 to 35 per cent in the same
period.
