Plans are already working out for the canning operations at portable and stationary canneries so that plenty of foodstuffs, grown by the relief client, will be made avail able for these families during the coming winter. Plan Portable Cannery. "At the Savage creek camp for transients where 130 men are now enrolled, a portable cannery ma chine Is being assembled and will be made available to care for euch can ning operations throughout Jackson county as may be made necessary throiiKh the plantings of gardens by the Medford transient center and other relief organizations. "Some 750.000 cans of beans, to matoes, corn and other vegetables were canned laat year, and It ap pends from the Interest shown that this total will hit the million can mark. Thousands of dollars have been spent by the state relief adminis tration in the purchase of seed for the various 36 counties. "Jackson county Is making quit a record In the SERA projects which the state administration has ap-! pwved. well In keeping with the reputation held by the state of Ore gon In Its standing back In Wash ington. There Oregcn stands well In the Closs-A division. Oregon has done its share to help take care of her relief clients and that Is the reason the FERA has been willing to' meet the state more than half way and donate the necessary fund requested. Spend Million Month. 'Last year Oregon's relief pro gram cost approximately 90,000,000. Thla year It appears that It wlU run close to 1,000,000 per month.

"Thla great relief program In ope ration la not realised by tha public generally. The fact that the seven transient camps In the stata are housing, feeding and helping some 1600 men and boys, thus keeping thorn off the highways, off the police rolls of the various cities of the state. Is a Godsend In Itself. Theste men and boys, from 75 to 14 years of age, are regaining lost confi dence: they are realizing Uncle Sam wants to do something for them, but at the same time he expects them to work. In other words, they must earn their board and keep In butld ln roads, clearing ditches, cutting wood, felling timber, Improving ma terial things, aa well as themselves, In being given the opportunity not only to work but also to get more education through books and in struction, like that given at the Clackamas camp near Portland, where the bnya In the camp have to go to school certain hours per week.

Smith L. gcoggln, president of the St. Paul Typographical union, backed up Tracy's charge. He contended the Perkins-Tracy company was "perse cuted" for employing union labor.
