A Training School for Packers
F AST week a news article on the first page of the Oreifonian
maintained that the importation of California fruit packers
in this district had created sneh a serious situation that mass
meetings of protest were being held, dynamiting and burning of
packing houses had been threatened, the story creating the im
pression throughout the state, that a call for the national guard
to maintain order and prevent bloodshed was imminent.
The Mail Tribune refused to print such a story, because it
knew it was absolutely untrue. No mass meetings had been
held, local packers flatly denied threats of dynamiting and
burning had been received, there was a widespread resentment
against the importation of California packing crews, but inves
tigation, showed the reports . of such importation had been
greatly exaggerated.--- " ' '"" . .
------
yilK MAIL TRIBUNE facvore'd a survey of the situation 'by
V disinterested parties, a determination of the facts BEFORE
determining theicourse of action jind tllirilan was adopted; the
Chamber of Commerce appointing a committee for this purpose,
which yesterday handed down its findings.
These findings confirmed statements of the Red Cross and
federal labor bureau, that the proportion of outside labor em
ployed was less this year than heretofore, that the widespread
complaints were caused by the fact that, due to the smaller crop,
the total amount of labor employed -was materially less than in
former years, rather than by any discrimination against local
labor. . ' . ; : 1 ;
This report should go far toward clearing the atmosphere
and dispelling the impression that there is any disposition on
the part of local fruit packers to! hire more outside help than
CIRCUMSTANCES RENDER . NECESSARY. '
. s v ; j i.
A S FAR as this paper is concerned, however, and as long as
" business conditions continue, we would like to see the fruit
r t ...
packing handled entirely by local labor. This couldn't be done
this year because fruit packing is a trade by itself, and requires
experienced and 'skilled labor; (( sufficient amount' not heing
available in thj city of Medford. ;
Toward tliin end we would like to see a training school for
fruit packers established in this city where men and women
could be trained so the demand for grained workers during the
harvest could be met without calling in crews from California
or elsewhere. We have an idea the local packers would be will
ing to finance such a school. If not, then we believe it would
be good 'business to handle the matter at public expense.
With so many unemployed, and so many anxious for any sort
of remunerative work, it should be possible to so arrange mat
ters, that all this payroll could be distributed among our own
people, and none of it pr, practically none handed out to non
residents, .1 ';
A packing 'school, public or private we believe, would ac
complish this.
The British Crisis
WHEN Premir,MaoDonald, in top-hat and morning coat,
nmharknil from lhiinrminA in Dnwninir. street, this
morning, someone in the milling crowd greeted him with the epi
thet of "Judas I" .
The top-hat and morning icoat had something to' do with it,
no doubt,; for it is the regalia of vested authority in dear old
England. But, as is usual in such circumstnees, the epithet was
not deserved, '',
TRITE, MacDonald has turned against the radical members of
liiu mi'n mirtv in fuvni'lm n vprliutinii' of (hit rlnle. hut. in
this action he has notS betrayed them. lie is merely doing every
thing he can to save his party and his country from revolution
and disaster.
With an unbalanced budget, with the pound sterling drop
ping, with the national debt soaring, he has taken the position
that the time for radicalism and partisanship has passed; and
the time for statesmanship and patriotism has begun,; ..'
In taking such a stand he is not only doiljg what is best for
bis country but what is liest for the labor party.
PNQIiAND faces the same crisis it faced during the world war.
Instead of the threat coming from Germany, it' comes from
world economic conditions. ' ' ' ,
Unless the labor party, AS A PARTY, adopts a policy pi
give-and-take, a willingness; to submerge its selfish interests for
the benefit of the whole, nothing ean provent .ultimate disaster
It is the same with the Liberal and Conservative parties. ,
That is whv a coalition government has been formed so that
party passions and prejudices limy bji pooled and liquidated to
tide England over the present crisis. Far from playing the role
of iludas, Premier MiicDonnlil is playing the role of the Great
Peacemaker. t ? ' ' ' Y
He is placing the goldmi rule above party rule, national wel
fare above personal welfare; but, today, as-was the case thou
sands of years ago, those who have boon the closest to him, and
who will benefit most by his actions, wish to see him crucified.
THE situation is a supremely serious one. The crisis that ex
iutnfl in Hcvlin n Cow weeks niro hns sinldenlv shifted to
London. ,. ;' . '
But as Germany survived that crisis, we believe England
willsurvtve this 'one. 'The human race has great and unex
pected power of resistance and recuperation, when actually
threate pod with dest ruction, And while old John Bull is pretty
sickl' we can't belieVo he'hns actuillly lost' liis traditional ca
pacity for somehow "muddling through."
And if he .dofs-fthen he. Pan thank men .like Ramsey ,Maf
Donald for it, men who in any final showdown, gladly place
love for their country and devotion to'it, above every other per
sonal arid political consideration.- i !;-

PIGEONS OUTFLY
NKW YORK, Aug. 27. (AP) A pslr
of pigeon outflaw s police plans
today, leaving Ut law again In s (og
oonernlng the whereabout and fate
of aVttgar r. Hamlton. Jr., la, kid
naped several day a ago.
The pigeons were to have been the
messengers to cany I'JSOO ranaom
money from, tfct raar, tor-
.. k - v . ,-.
mer Queens county district attorney.
A telephone call had Informed Hazel
ton where the pigeons might be
found, and Instructed him to fasten
the ransom money to their legs and
release them.
Policemen took the pigeon Into
the air and released them from a
plane, for the purpose of pursuing
them snd thus, perhaps, finding Vis
kidnapers. Th pigeons, however,
flew faater than the plane and were
tost to sight.
Ton of Honey Stolen.
CHKHAUS. Wah.- (UP) Mljsck

In winter time we often see
experience a condition known
"chapped hands" and this consists
. -. - In a cracking of the
skin, says Dr. J. P.
Montague, in his
excellent little book
"Troubles We Don't
Talk About" (Lip
plncott Co.). You
are all aware of the
soreneas, s m a rtlng
and biting which
a c c o m panles this
c o n d It Ion. Then,
too, we are all fa
miliar with a con
dition known as , a . "cracked lip.
This Is also an extremely trouble
some condition, difficult to heal
and In general a dfeturbtng factor
out of proportion to its size. A
very similar condition of the rectal
orifice la called fissure. It Is really
unimportant from the standpoint
of doing great harm or endangering
life, but In producing agony it
ranks with the worst ailments.
Fissure causes pain of a knife-like
character, much more severe than
the pain of mere piles,
In a- talk about hemorrhoids the
other day I said I believe the con
stipation and the physic habit usu
ally precedes the hemorrhoids. In
the case of fissure I admit the con
stipation follows the fissure. The
discomfort produced by any bowel
movement Is so extreme that the
victim purposely avoids the act as
long as It Is humsnly possible. Then
the anxiety and demoralization the
condition ca'.ises contribute further
to upset digestion, and so not a few
cases of "stomach trouble" are to
be cured only by curing an old fis
sure. . . .
If it will not seem .cruel I will
give not my own opinion, but that
of Dr. Montague, that the chief
cause of fissure is constipation. Yes,
yes, we Just explained that fissure
causes constipation. we aoctors
must have our little Jokes I hope
you won't mind as long as our Jokes
are clean. When I mentioned above
that constipation is an inevitable
effect of fissure, I remembered the
story about the bartender who cured
all bad coughs with a huge . dose
of mineral water. Fissure causes
constipation in much the same way.
Presumably there is primarily a
small tear produced by some hard-
mass, or by the careless use 01
a syringe.
Reflex Irritability of the oiaaaer
often leads to a mistaken diagnosis
of "cystitis" or, among very igno-'
rant folk, "cold In the bladder." lit
some Instances fissure nas oeen
mistaken for "sciatica" or Just "back
ache." ' '
Here let me warn readers not to.l
ask mv opinion about a given case
No doctor s opinion Is worth a nooi
unloss he has made a careful examination..
Suppositories and external salvei
are worthless.- Sometimes olntmeni
applied through a pile pipe by th
physician or as Instructed by th
physician, may give some reliel.
One of the best measures of relief!
Is the hot sltz bath, as hot as the!
natlent can comfortably bear, weir

over the hips, for' halt an hour, and
the effect may be enhanced by the suitable cases
application of hot water bag or
heating pad following the bath.
Surgical treatment Is the sensible
thing, when fissure causes much
suffering. In most cases the sur
gical cure Is given with local anes
thesia, and the discomfort for a day
or two after the little operation is
nothing compared with the
suffered from the fissure.

Answer They don't. If they know
It Is harmful. Alcoholic liquors or

with the therapetutlc or medicinal
