Official banquet, Hotel Medford, Communications Denies Labor's Right to Strike. To the Editor: The fsrmers who recently organ ized at Medford for the purpose of dealing with expected labor troublea made the fatal mistake of approv ing strlkea. Nobody ever has ques tioned the right of workmen to or ganize and bargain collectively, nor even to quit work. Striking, however, Is something en tirely different, because It Implies the right of a group of workmen to prevent other workera from taking the Job they have given up. Sucn action la and always has been en tirely Indefensible, because it en ablea workers to dictate how an Industry shsll be run, who the work ers are, their wages and the conai tlons under which they labor. The owner of the business haa nothing to aay In the matter. Disputes between employer and employee may be settled by arbitra tion, but all decisions must be ap proved by a labor board appointed by a eoclallatlc president, who sees that all such questions are decided In favor of the worklngman. Further more, If an arbitrated question Isn't decided to suit labor union racket eers, thev elmolv call another strike and keep on atrlklng until they have thlnge their own way. The closed shop Is now being forced onto American 'Industry, which for lunch, dinner, and for Snider's Ice Cream buy 1 MEDFORD MATL Station Coming affording maximum efficiency from the use of Associated Aviation Ethyl gasoline. The portable station, one of the four being operated by Associated on the Pacific coast. Is complete In every detail, equipped with the latest scientific motor checking Instru ments, Including a aynchrograph for the synchronization of distributors. It renders the same mechanical motor-check service afforded by motor check stations. It Is pointed out that with the In creased compression pressures, greater horsepower and higher operation speed of the present day motors, it la necessary to use Ethyl gasoline, If motorists expect to secure the maxi mum results both from economy and operation that the manufacturer de signed the motor to develop. But Ethyl Itself will not give best re sults without this added motor-check tune-up service. ' likely will soon Include Jackson county farming and fruitgrowing. Thla means thst only union workers csn be employed, regardless of effic iency or inefficiency. As a Jackson county rancher and taxpayer, I pro test against such an unfair practice being legalize, especlslly with the consent and approval of the farmers no organized the other Medford. day It Is claimed that only by striking can labor secure Its rights. This statement la entirely untrue and without foundation, as proven by the experience of workers In Detroit and Los Angeles, where the American open shop system always has been the rule. Workers In both these great industrial centers have enjoyed high er wages and better working condi tions than in any closed shop town, on an average. r.J!,,V"W f "upp,y imand tlons.

FOR SON'S SLAYER A father's long ind determined sesrch for the slayer of his only son was ended, unsuccessfully, June IS when Major Oen. Adelbert Cronkhlte. V&Jl. retired, died at a hospital In St. Petersburg, Fla., at the age of 76. The death of Major Oen. Cronk htte came as a shock to Col. E. E. Kelly of this city. During the World war, one of three In which Cronk btte took part for his country. Col. Kelly waa directly under the com mand of the major general. Kelly was attached to his staff of oftlcers and saw many months of furious fighting under the tne man who was later to devote many years of his life In an attempt to clear up the mysterious death of his son. Major Alexander Pennington Cronkhlte. It was while Major Oen. Cronkhlte was commanding the 18th division In Prance that his son, while leading a, detail of the 213th englneera on a, practice march through the woods near Camp Lewla In Washington, waa mysteriously killed. And It was Col. E. E. Kelly who personally de livered the sad news to Major Oen. Cronkhlte that his son was dead. Col. Kelly, grieved by the news of his, commanding officer's death In Florlca and reminiscing on the slay ing of the son. said that when word reached France of the tragedy, the entire staff of Major Oen. Cronk hlte'a officers felt keenly their com mandera sorrow. Following Major Cronkhltea death near Camp Lewis, his father return ed to the United Statea and. refus ing to accept the official verdict that his son's death was accidental, threw himself Into a personal Investigating campaign to bring the slayer to Jus tice. So thoroughly did he search bhat he uncovered certain Irregularl tlea In the story. He plsced these before the war department end the depsrtment of Justice end a captain and ergeant who had been on the fatal march were arrested. Records show that the sergeaut confessed he killed Major Cronkhlte at th-.- captain's Instigation. Later he withdrew the confession, and al though Indicted In a state court, escsped trial on the technicality of a lack of Jurisdiction. Following that setbsck, the major general embarked even more com pletely on a search for clues and until his death June 15 he was almost continually carrying on his tunpa'gn to bring his sons alleged slayer to Justice. Soil Conservation Program Outlined A 1038 soil conservation program waa recommended yesterday by the communlty committees of the Jack son county soil conservation com mittee, at a meeting held In the courthouse auditorium. The recommending of the use of commercial fertilizer, where required, upon land coming under the soil saving act, was the most Important change from the present program, County Agent Robert G. Fowler said. Cub Pack Meeting Boy Scout cub psck No. 1 will meet at Jackson Hot Springs for an outdoor session to morrow n'fcht.
