Danger of Communism or a dicta
torship was stressed toy Raymond R.
Keter, manager of the Pinnacle Pack
ing company, In a talk on "Where Do
We Oo From Here" at today's lunch
con meeting of the Klwanls club In
the Hotel Medford.
Most of the labor strikes of the
past year were traced by Mr. Reter to
Communist agitation. He declared
tnat Harry Bridges, union leader, told
the University of Washington student
body thst the labor party waa going
to abolish employers.
Labor does not need the employer
class and all plants, built by labor,
should be taken over by labor. Mr.
Reter quoted Mr. Bridges as telling
the students.
The neighboring state of California
haa the second largest registry of
Communist in the country. New
York being first, Mr. Reter aald.
Railroad labor ts endeavoring to
force government ownership of the
railroads and should this happen It
will affect every Industry and market
and mark a direct step toward Com
munism or a dictatorship, Mr. Reter
declared.
The speaker urged the public to
tequest congressmen and senators to
curb labor bills to achieve a fair deal.

Tomorrow U circus day once again
, There's only one thrill mat tne
llttle-boy-you-were carried over to
the man-you-are. and that's the shiv
ery, blissful anticipation of clrcua
day. If you have children of your
own, you deck them out In their
beat clothes, and take them down
to see- the "Big Show" ... If you
are single, borrow somebody else's
youngster to take you to the circus.
That spirit will be abroad tomor
row, when the Al u. Barnes-sens
Ploto Combtnett Circus with Ha
trumpeting bands, red wagons, span-
Hlee, and pink lemonade Invades
Medford at grounds near Jackson
school. The spect-t steel railroad
equipment will start to arrive about
dawn over the Southern Pacific rati-
road from Ashland.
Consequently, no end of youngs
ters will go to bed tonight with tho
alarm clock net for Rome unearthly
hour, and will dream of a seat In the
very iront row. with the prettiest
bare-back riders and aerlallsta blow
ing him kisses from the back of a
galloping horse, or out of a trapeze
.winging ml lea high In the air. But
the sound of the alarm clock will
dispel all such startling happenings,
and at the first streak of dawn
there Is bound to be a goodly gath
ering of youngsters and grown-ups
around the rnllrond yard as almost
everyone knows the circus has grown
to such enormous proportions that It
is impossible to hold the old-time
street parades any more. But the
unloading of the brlghtly-pnlnted
railroad enrs of their burdens, tho
herds of elephants stepping from
their side door Pullmnrw, the hun
dreds of horses, yaks, camels, aebras,
and cage after cage of wild antmnls,
