Chief Executive Seems Un
able Grasp Extent of
Unemployment, Says Re
port As Convention Opens
SALEM, Sept. 14. (AP) Unem
ployment and wage cutting over
shadowed all other problem a the
29tn annual convention of the Ore
gon State federation of Labor got
under way ben today. The annual
report or Ben T. Osborne, executive
secretary and President William
Cooper, presented Just before noon,
sounded the keynote of the session,
and the situation caused by the
present business depression predoml
' nated that note. .
One hundred and fifty-five dele
gates registered the opening day of
the session, and wblle no set pro
gram was outlined, the matters
touched upon by the annual reports
and the reoonunendaUona Involving
suggestions lrom a special session ol
congress down to better local union
organization plana indicated a busy
four-day meeting.
Two Desk Conclave.
While no outward Indications of
a 'campaign to get the next conven
tion appeared on tha aurface early,
It was stated Eugene and Astoria
would make bids for the 1082 ses
sion. Officers of the federation - nave
made no recommendation- as to a
special session of the state legisla
ture, but the matter will be given
consideration. Tha executive com
mittee last night moved to bring
the Issue to the attention of the
delegates, as a means of providing
some unemployment relief. A special
session of congress to provide federal
aid during the coming months, was
recommended.
The state government in its action
concerning unemployment and wage
reductions has been an even greater
disappointment than the federal gov
ernment, Osborne stated In hie re
port. .
Meier Criticised.
The chief executive "seems uljferly
unable to grasi, Vi.o axtent wf unem
ployment, the Inevltabel results that
must follow It It la not checked
and the significance of the ominous
clouds that hover on the not dis
tant horizon."
Osborne critlclxed the governor's
"comprehensive program" for unem
ployment relief In Oregon, which be
termed three means for relief. They
are "two and a half million dol
lars for highway construction, an
a glutton for greater consumption of
Oregon made products and tax con
servation." ' i ;
. The proposed highway work,' If
undertaken, will provide a dgree of
relief, but will be wholly Inadequate
to the needs of the situation. Os
borne pointed ou In discussion of
Governor Julius L. Meier's program.
Graver potentialities thsn existed In
1917 and 1018, during the world
war are seen In the present situa
tion by the labor leader.
Borne Products Failure Seen.
Skepticism of any great success
of a home products campaign waa
expressed In the report, which holds
that any Increased consumption of
Oregon products by eltlaene of the
state wilt be offset by decreased pur
chases by other states which will
retaliate against attempted discrimi
nation against their products.
The governor's' tax conservation
program, and his policy of wage
slashing In public employment waa
severely criticised) by Osborne.
"His (Governor Meier's) whole tax
reduction program la predicated on
less publle spending and particularly
on discharging some publlo employee
and reducing the wages of those re
tained," Osborne declared. "The pro
gram of false economy In publlo ex
penditures also means a curtailment
of publle expenditures, lessening em
ployment In the various Mam of
construction. Tha saving that can
be effected by reducing wages of
publle employee will be Insignifi
cant in Its effect on taxes."

Brisbane's Today
(Continued from Pane ne)
haps for business enterprises, to be
come too big for safety.
Gandhi, the sincere, In England
with bis remedy for all our troubles,
finds the world, England especially,
"too dumb" to take his advice. Ha
says America does not even want to
hear htm.
Oandhl understands modern In
dustrial clvUlratlon aa little aa an
American automobile engineer under
stands . India's problems, her relig
ious, elsas and caste hatreds, and all
the rest. .
The strange Mabatma, a email cot
ton rag wrapped around hie loins,
for decency, a home made shawl of
bis own spinning for warmth, arrives
with a hand spinning machine lrfoo
years old, as his remedy for India'
Ills.
In all this worried world, nothing
more pathetlo could be imagined.
But the wise English, knowing his
hold on 800.000,000 Hindus, will lis
ten gravely, and' answer with soft
words.
England's misfortune has been add
ing 100,000,000 to India's population,
fighting disease, preventing famine.
If Oandhl had his way, If the Brit
ish left India and the 80,000,000
Hindu bating Mohammedans In India
had their way, the extra 100,000,000
Hindus would soon be oh their way
to Nirvana.
.The hurricane In Belize, capital of
British Honduras, destroyed the great
Oathollo college of St. John, and cost
the lives of many priests In the col
lege. Pear that other Jesuit fathers may
have been killed In missions, far In
land, la expressed by the Rev. Joseph
Oeachwend, editor of "Jesuit Mis
sions." ' In days of" greater Ignorance' faith
in divine goodness might have been
undermined by such a disaster. When
the great Lisbon earthquake killed
thousands, Including great crowds
that gathered In churches for protec
tion, many are said to have "turned
toward atheism, losing faith in every
thing." It waa believed, then, that every
earthquake, tidal wave, or lightning
stroke, of which some 300,000 occur
on earth every day, was aimed by an
angry God, at somebody, or some na
tion that had offended.
Church belle were rung to keep off
tempests, plagues of rats were at
tacked by prayer, hydroceanlo gas,
now used being unknown.
The present generation knows that
the universe la ruled by laws, un
changing, not by a god, sitting aa
Juplted did, on his mountain, with
tha lightning bolt in his hand, like
a aavage ohlof on his throne, holding
his sharp spear. "If the camels had
a god," aald the old Greek, "their
god would have tour legs and a
hump."
Many of us still Imagine a Ood like
ourselves, only worse, pitiless, oruel.
But few imagine that He would de
stroy Innocent and useful Uvea, as
part of a whim, or In sudden anger.

NEW YORK, Sept. 14. (AP) The.
stock market managed to recover
substantially In the final transac
tions today.
After successive waves of fairly
heavy selling had depressed principal
Issues 61 to 65 a share, and some
price averages hsd recorded new
minimum levels for tha bear market,
several aharea managed to come back
81 to 63 from the bottom.
There were numerous net losses of
81 to mora than 63 a share, which
the late upturn failed to cancel. The
rebound waa attributed largely to
short covering.
D. 8. 8teel closed only about 41
lower, after selling off more than 82
to a 10-year low. Santa Fe railroad
dropped about 63, then rebounded
63.00.
Total sales were well over the
2,000.000 mark.
