THE GILLNETTERS WOULD SNARE
YOU WITH THEIR NET
OF MONOPOLY!!
MRS. HOUSEWIFE . . . when one small group gains
control of a food product's source can you imagine
what might happen to the price of that food product
and to your cost of living? Throwing out a net of high
sounding words about "resources, sports fishing and
tourist dollars" the Gillnetters' Union have forgotten
to tell you one thing.
The initiative bill for the elimination of fixed
gear in the Columbia River gives to the gill
netters 90 of all the catch on the Columbia
River the remaining 10 .being caught by
the Indians at Celilo
The Oregon Fish Commission in its June,
1948 report, the Oregon Voter, and Oregon
State Planning Board, all say the same thing.
Elrmination of fixed gear on the Columbia
River does not act as a salmon conservation
project but in reality only means that other
gear catch more and the gillnets will be all
that are left.
What could happen to your food budget
under a virtual monopoly? What might hap
pen to salmon prices? You have had experience
with other monopolies -what is your answer?
And bear this fact in mind if the gill
netters did not want to gain absolute control
why would they initiate this monopoly bill?
Both the state legislature and the Oregon Fish
Commission have the authority to regulate all
gear for salmon fishing, if it were necessary.
The bill to ' nte fixed appliances"
U not necessai t only puts monopo
listic control in i ands of a minority
group the gillneti.rs.

A question uppermost in the
minds of many Morrow county
farmers at this time of year is:
"Should 1 burn the straw from
my grain crop or should I turn
it under?"
Crop residues are valuable and
worth using, declares Leroy E.
Warner, O.S.C. soil conservation
specialist. He explains his stand
by pointing out that straw sup
plies worthwhile amounts of
three common fertilizer ingred
ients to the soil nitrogen, phos
phoric acid and potassium.
The amount of nitrogen avail-
able in a ton of grain straw for
example, is about equal to that
supplied by one-half sack of am-
monium sulfate. The same ton of I
straw will also provide an equal
amount of phosphoric acid as is
found in a quarter sack of super- j
phosphate, and as much potas
sium as provided by one-third
sack of muriate of potash.
A ton of dry clover hay is
worth as much as four tons of
barnyard manure from the stand
point of soil value, considering
the high water content of man
ure.
In order to rot quickly, straw
needs about 30 pounds of nitro
gen per ton of dry matter. Since
grain straw contains only about
10 to 12 pounds of nitrogen per
ton, it is necessary to add more.
Many farmers neglect to do this,
and as a result succeeding crops
suffer because nitrogen is tem
porarily robbed from the soil to
assist in breaking down the
straw. Once the nitrogen is re
leased, however, the deficiency
is ended.
Legume straw contains about
four times as much nitrogen as
grain straw on a ton for ton ba
sis. Consequently, legume straw
breaks down faster than straw
from such crops as wheat, oats,
and barley.

Railroads must operate around the clock
every day and night of the year.
Although they know this, leaders of 16 rail
road unions are demanding a five-day, Mon
day through Friday, week for one million
railroad employes.
They want 48 hours pay for 40 hours work
in itself a 20 wage increase.
They also demand a minimum of 12 hours
pay for any work performed on Saturdays,
and 16 hours pay for any work performed on
Sundays and holidays.
On top of all this they want an additional
Increase of 25c an hour for every employe!
You'd Pay the Bill!
Summing up these demands, they mean that
these union leaders seek to force the railroads
to give one million employe! an annual raise
which would average $1500 per employe!
The total cost of this would be no loss than
1H billion dollars per year, which is more
than twice the expectcfl net income of the
railroads this year.
You'd pay the bill, because if these in
creased costs are '--reed on the railroads,
they must have still further rate and fan
increases.
Demands Unreasonable
These employes have had substantial raises
during and since the war. Their average week
ly earnings are higher than the average weekly
earnings of workers in manufacturing indus
tries. They have more job security than the
average worker in American industry. They
also enjoy paid vacations, a retirement sys
tem and other advantages mora generous
than the average worker receives.
In contrast with the demands of these 16
unions, which add up to the equivalent of 48c an
hour, the Conductors and Trainmen recently
settled their wage request for an Increase of 10c
an hour.
Railroads Run for Everybody
Not Employes Alone
The railroad industry must serve not one but
many groups producers, businessmen, ship
pers, passengers and the general public
, night and day, every day of the year. These
unions are proceeding in utter disregard of
this important difference between railroads
and other industries. Industrial plants enn be
shut down over weekends and holidays, but
freight, mail, express and pasflcngers must
continue to move. Everybody u i enters rail
road employment knows this.
Strike Threa'
On September 18, 1948, the of these
16 unions began taking a stri, . lint tlie
threat of a strike will not alter the opposition of
the railroads to such unreasonable dcmundsl
