Welcome, Veterans!
MEDFORD feels honored in being host to the Spanish-American
war veterans of this state. To them a hearty welcome,
with the hope that they will enjoy their stay here, and their
convention will be a success, from every standpoint.
The weather man haf, agreed to provide blue sky and sun
shine everyday ; a fresh new moon every night; and guarantees
no steam heat will be turned on until the gathering is over.
If the veterans feel in need of anything they haven't got,
let them make their wants known to any local citizen in good
standing, and same will be provided, if it's within the range of
human possibility. '
' So once more welcome, and stick around as long as you can,
after, the official, doings, are over, for we are proud of this
little city and surrounding country and want you to see as
much of both as possible. And we want to see as much of you
as possible, too, so each' and every one of you may realize
that Medford and southern Oregon are delighted to see you
and deeply appreciate the great service you rendered to your
country, (how tcmpus fugits!) nearly 40 years ago!
The Jurisdictional Dispute
LABOR troubles between employers and union workers are
bad enough. 'But labor troubles of a jurisdictional nature
between rival unions are worse. .
For there is some chance of reaching an agreement in the
first instance; little or none in the second.
When rival unions start fighting, there is no issue involved
but one of control. They have no differences, except as to
which union, in a certain jurisdiction, is to be boss.
The only "out" therefore; in a majority of cases, is a test
of strength, a fight to the finish. And that means war, per
haps an invigorating pastime to the participants but poison to
business and the innocent public.
A FEW days ago it was the beer war in Portland, two unions
fighting as .to which should deliver a certain beer and
which shouldn't. As a result no one delivered the beer, and a
perfectly legitimate business, which had not offended in any
way; lost thousands of dollars a day, as a result.
KTOW there is a similar situation in Seattle as far as a certain
" newspaper is concerned.
The Seattle Star this time is the "innocent bystander."
The Newspaper Guild, under the C.I.O., is fighting the
Teamsters Union, for jurisdiction
of the latter union proclaims the Guild will have the blanket1
blankiest fight on its bauds in the history of its organization,
if it tries to take any of his men under its jurisdiction.
"The rule books will be thrown into the bay" cries he, "and
we will fight the Guild with everything the teaming movement
has!"
VERT nice !
But how about the Star, the readers of the Star, the
business of the Start It had to close its doors as a result.
Because the teamsters union doesn't like the Guild and vica
versa, a legitimate business which has done nothing wrong, has
to suffer. It is losing thousands of dollars a day and may,
through no fault of its own, be crippled seriously.
IS that rightt
Silly question !
OF COURSE, it isn't right. It's flagrantly and outrageously
wrong. There is nothing in reason, common sense or justice
to uphold It. It is directly contrary to the first principle of
this, or any other, civilized government.
.
THIE Guild and the Teamsters Xnion, the C.I.O. and A.F.U.
" or any "other labor organizations, have no more MORAL
right to settle their differences in the street by force, than have
John Jones and Bill Smith or other private citi.cus. That's
why wo HAVE government. That's why we have laws and
police to enforce them.
How long would this government, or any other, last, if the
right these labor organizations insist upon, were granted to
those who have no such organizations to support themt
Not a week I Every couple having a dispute, would be out
in the street, shooting it out to a decision. Business houses
might have to close down, traffic halted, innocent bystanders
killed; but that wouldn't make any difference.
The right to settle jurisdictional differences, involves the
right to strike, and the right to strike is inviolate. If the right
to strike is to be effective it has to be supported by force. So
all rules are off boys, pull out your blackjacks, uulimber your
six-guns and go to it !
THIIAT'S somewhat exaggerated of course, but it fairly illus-
trates the principle involved in these jurisdictional disputes
between rival unions.
No issues of public; moment are involved! No basic prin
ciples, regarding the relationship between capital and labor.
It's entirely a private affair, between two private organizations,
ami yet under conditions which exist there is no way to settle
it, but by fighting it out. And fighting it out, means disruption
of normal business, oonfusion anil chaos, material losses and in
many cases loss of life.
IN any other relationship in our modem civilisation, such a
situation would not be tolerated for a moment. Where there
is no moral right thero would be no legal right.
But not so when organized labor is concerned. In this
direction and this direction alone, we not only ACCKPT an
archy, but in certain quarters INSIST ou it.
Obviously such a situation should not be allowed to con
tinue. The same principle that applies to individuals, should
apply to organizations of individuals, whether they represent
capital or labor or what not.
They should be KKSI'ONSIRt.E. And their selfish interests
whatever they might be, should at all times be subordinated
to the public interest.
A COUPLE of rival labor organizations should no more be
allowed to disturb the peace, disrupt business, and injure
innocent and unoffending citizens, simply because they can't
settle their differences amicably,
In short as has been frequently stressed in this column, we
should have the legitimate rights
over the drivers. Dave Beck
than a couple of individuals.
(if capital and labor clrarly
defined, and special labor courts established, to see that those
rights are sustained, and when differences occur, that the dif
ferences are settled without violence or public disorder, on the
basis of justice and fair play,
That is the only sane way
up this eternal labor turmoil, friction, and strife.
One sometimes wonders how long it will take how much
will have to be spent in blood and treasure to make the people
of the country as a whole (and particularly their leaders) SEE it!

As to the Industrial union Itself,
Mr. Oreen once expressed himself on
that topic, long ago. This Is what he
said:
"Mass production does not have to
mean either the cross-Industry or
ganization of the I. W. W. type or
abandonment of the craft union of
the American Federation of Labor.
Very likely It will mean reorganiza
tion along new Industrial lines. In
dustries may be organized as a whole.
Crafts within these Industrie may
get linked together within the na
tional body,
"But this new type organisation
will resemble shop councils In opera
tion and management more than
anything today (lOJfl) existing within
the present federation labor unions."

hopefully ajar. In caee the wandering
