Monday morning Governor Earl
Snell announced he was "calling a
Special election for Friday, Jan. 11,
1946, to fill the vacancy in the 1st
Congressional district which oc
curred as the result of the untimely
death of Congressman James W.
Mott."
These are critical times. There
are many matters pending of vital
concern to our state. Oregon should
have the immediate benefit and in
fluence of a complete congressional
delegation," said the governor.
ACCENT ON UNANIMITY
An intensely active but harmo
nious conference of governors of 11
western states held at Cheyenne,
Wyo. last week ended Wednesday
night after 36 hours of serious work
largely upon problems of the states
as a region. Resolutions were adopt
ed urging federal agencies to re
lease materials to relieve housing
shortages, set up a committee to
study the problem of federal land
ownership in western states and
to advertise sale or lease of government-owned
aluminum and steel
plants, and to advertise the states
with unified programs.
The conference was too busy for
a political field-day with party lines
and elected Governor Mon C. Wall
gren, Washington democrat, chair
man of the next conference to be
held at Olympia. Governor Snell
delivered an address on federal ow
nership of lands at the i opening of
the session. He returned to Salem
in time to meet Gen. Wainwright
who was a house guest of Secretary
of State Robert S. Farrell Jr. last
Friday night.
MORE CANDIDATES
The campaign of the special elec
tion will be short, snappy and de
mocratic. New names proposed as
candidates for congress include that
of Representative Anna M. Ellis of
Tillamook whose backers reckon
she will get enough feminine votes
to win. Senator W. E. Burk Yamhill
veteran of 11 regular and special
sessions of the legislature is being
urged to run by the following he
made as author of the "Burk wine
bill". Representative Manley J. Wil
son, Clatsop, editor of the CIO
weekly Woodworker is scheduled to
run.
WORKERS AND WAGES
The average wage of Oregon
workers last year was about 27 per
cent higher than in 1942 and hit all
time high of $2511 which was three
times the amount paid workers in

ing to a recent survey made by
the state industrial accident com
mission. The wage in 1943 of per
sons working throughout the year
was $2397 as compared with $1832

by shipyard workers with $2438, All
figures include overtime. Payrous

The graph above gives a quick picture of the un
precedented increase in Long Distance calls that
came in the last few months before the end of the
war and has continued unabated ever since.
It also tells you why...even though we are making
swift progress in bringing service back to normal
your Long Distance call may sometimes be de
layed, or the operator may ask you to limit it to
five minutes. .
You can be certain we are doing everything pos
sible to serve you courteously, quickly and well
and to speed the day when we can again handle
promptly any Long Distance call you want to
make... anywhere. ,
