Five Hundred Workers Go
- On Sympathy Strike
Bridges Group Stages
Demonstration.
PORTLAND, Ore, May 34. (AP)
A Jurisdictional dispute with the
fight between the Committee for In
dustrial Organisation and the Amort
can Federation of Labor u a back
ground flamed higher today aa police
claahed with demonatratora nd 600
men walked out of bag planta and
flouring mllla, apparently in a aym
nathy atrllce.
Several hundred men, maaatng be
fore the delivery depot of the big
Meier it Prank Department atore,
battleground of the Inter-labor dis
pute, were dlipersed by police, who
arrested aix men on charges or in
citing riot, and battered the head of
one of them.
While a squad of 36 offlcera re
atored order at the depot, operators
of the bag planta and flouring mills
found thlr factories silent with no
tices posted on their doors that "an
emergency exists. '
Presumably the emergency was the
attempt of the International Long'
ahoremen's assoclaton warehouse un
Ion to call a arlke among warehouse
men of Meier Jc Prank In opposition
to the teamsters' union, which claims
Jurisdiction over the warehousemen.
Last week William Oreen, president
of the A. F. of L., called upon the
Central Labor Council here to oust
the I. L. A. group unless It quit Its
efforts to organise the warehousemen

PORTABLE HOUSE
READY IN MONTH
First of the portable tuberculosis
cottages being built for use by the
Jackson county health department la
nearlng completion and la expected
to bo ready for use In about a month,
Dr. C. I. Drummond, county phys
ician, reports.
Manusl training classes of the sen
ior high school, under the direction of
Lelsnd Mentzer, are constructing tho
building and donating labor. The pro
ject Is being sponsored by the Jack
son county health association which
haa provided a large proportion of
necessary funds.
The cottages, constructed on skids
so that they may be easily moved,
are to be one-room wooden frame
structures with windows on three
sides. Furniture Includes a bed,
stand, chair and atove.
Health authorities believe that
such cottages will facilitate the fight
against the spread of infection. They
will enable patients to remain close
to their families without actual con
tact which frequently leada to Infec
tion of other members of the family,
Dr. Drummond pointed out. The pro
ject was also designed to aid those
patients who are unable to afford a
stay In a sanitarium or who would
have to wait several months to be
admitted to the state hospital.
Although the cottages will be used
repeatedly, they will be entirely re
flnlshcd Inside for each new patient.
Two more cottages are planned for
conttructlon within -the next few
months by WPA funds. The project
haa been approved locally and by the
state WPA office and la now awaiting
final approval from Washington, D.
C. Average cost of the buildings Is
estimated at about 8250. Construction
materlnls run cloee to 8160 without
furnishings. Tho beds alone cost 860.

REAL LIFE TESTS
BY REV. GIBSON
Graduates of Medford high school
were advised last night to be ready
to meet 'The Test of Real Life" by
Rev. Oscar O. Gibson, who delivered
the sermon at baccalarueate services
held at the school.
A large crowd of parents and
friends attended the services, ex
ceeding the seating capacity of the
large auditorium.
Likening the high school graduate
to a hothouse plant suddenly trans
ferred to an outdoor garden. Rev.
Gibson named exposure as the first
teat to be faced. Many, he said, do
not successfully survive the first
transferal from a compnratlvely shel
tered life to direct contact with real
problems.
Many persons, the speaker con
tinued, are unsuccessful In life, not
because of lack of ability but be
cause they possess insufficient en
durance, which he colled the second
great test of life.
The test of comparison la a stum
bling block for many, Rev. Gibson
believes. The common mistake, h?
said, la to compare accomplishments
with those of other persons mther
than with the Individual's own ideals.
The ideals with which one starts out
are apt to bo submerged, but a con
stant comparison of one's actual -life
and Ideals is vital to a successful life,
Gibson pointed out.
Tho fourth and final test is that
of sacrifice. Gibson told the stu
dents. A willingness to sacrifice is
all-important to any worthwhile ac
complishment, he advised his listen
ers. Pointing out that, while Con
fucius said. 'Know Ttayself"; Buddha
preached 'Submerge Thyself"; and
Mohammed exhorted his followers to
"Assert Thyself." Christ Mid 'Deny
Thyself." Denial must be practiced
for a full and successful life, Rev.
Gibson concluded.
Capt. G. R. Durham acted as pre
siding mtnt&ter during the services,
