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.

GENERAL'S DEATH!
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.
