Anarchy Should Stop T1TE wish President Roosevelt would visit San Francisco " before he heads East again. A drive up and down the Embarcadero would be most illuminating. For a maritime strike In going on there, which teaches a valuable lesson. '." It is something entirely new in labor troubles. The maritime workers have no grievance against ttreir employers. They are not striking for better hours, higher wages or improved working conditions. It isn't a conflict between labor and capital at all. It is solely a conflict within the ranks of organized labor, between C.I.O. and A.F.L. In brief it is a fight between Harry Bridges, coast leader of the former; and Dave Beck, coast leader of the latter, for position and power, to determine, which is to be the big boss on the Pacific coast. TpO date there has been very little in the newspapers regard- ing this most recent conflict. But unless this column is greatly mistaken, there soon will be. 'For unless something is done soon this strike promises to be as serious and destructive in its results, an the strikes of '34 and '36. And as we see it, the only effective remedy, is for the gov ernment, federal or state, to step in and put its foot down. For as before stated there are no grievances to adjust that might end hostilities, it's a family feud between two rival labor leaders, and can only be settled by the victory of one, over the other. There are no public issues involved. No issues of labor policy. It is entirely a personal matter between Messrs. Bridges and Beck, and the result will only affect them, and their respective organizations; NOT the shipping industry, the business interests, or the people living along the coast. Yet the latter WILL BE THE ONES TO SUFFER 1 They are beginning to suffer today. They will suffer more as time goes on. Deliveries are already delayed, goods are piling up in the warehouses, picket lines are extending, while outbreaks of violence are expected at any time. Thousands of dollars have already been iost, the total may soon be running in the millions, and WHY! Simply because two radical labor leaders have decided the Pacific coast is too small for both of them, and one or the other of them must be destroyed, so the victor may be the labor mon arch of all he surveys. JOW, if Dave Beck and Harry Bridges had happened to have ' a difference of opinion regarding the division of some property, and decided to settle it with their fists on the Embarcadero, their rough and tumble would soon be over. They would of course be run in by the police, and allowed to cool their heels and heads in their respective cells, until the con troversy could be settled in some court of law. Or if they had called in the brass knuckle shock troops of their respective gangs, to back them up, and staged a riot, up and down the water front, the city police would have quickly descended upon the combatants, and as quickly restored law and order. The rights of the public and private property, are scrupulously pro' tected, when individuals, or groups of individuals, threaten both, by trying to settle their differences by force.

Ora., 8ept. 25.- ( AP) Marklyp Jowph McCaffrey, About 43. waa Inatantly killed tody when An automobile in which he waa tiding pIviiiKM 300 (et ovr an embank merit, DUT, when the controversy happens to be in the field of labor, no such protection is extended. Immediately under the present set-up. the bars are down. Property has no rights, Business has no rights. The public has no rights. Scores may be killed, business may be paralyzed, millions of dollars may be lost, but there is no effective tribunal or force to stop it. We have a nation of law and order in every other direction, but let organized labor be involved, and we return at once to the middle ageB, to the jungle law of the tooth and claw to anarchy. T is an incredible situation. In what other direction, would society tolerate the disruption of business, the destruction of property, the endangering of lives, the loss of millions simply because two private citizens decided that they were going to settle their differences by battling in the streets, instead of pre senting their respective claims before some court T AND of course one reason is, there is no court, no court of In hoi law. We have the Wagner Act. which if properly amended could be of some use, in forcing the peaceful settlement of disputes between labor and capital. But there is absolutely nothing to cover such a case as this, where the difference iB entirely intra-labor, a battle to the death for jurisdictional control. IMAGINE what the public reaction would be if Henry Ford, and Wm. Knudsen of General Motors, should decide that one of them had to have EXCLUSIVE control of the Pacific coast market, therefore proceeded to stage a battle, for suprem acy, by preventing the shipment of the other i products, by picketing the railroad yards and the water front. They would both be in Alcatraz before the sun could set. But let a couple of labor "big shots" like Bridges and Beck try the SAME THING, and we act on the theory, that elemen tary principles of justice and common sense no longer prevail. there is nothing for the long suffering public to do, but take it, and like it. there It a cure for snoring. Incea santly admonished to - be brief, I squeezed In this reply: Answer One who Is healthy and fit doe not snore. Gen eral overhauling may be needed. Local treatment of swollen or con gested nasal tls- sues may be needed. The corre spondent h a ri pened to be t Scot I haven't said Scotchman since a highly cultured lady gave me ballyhack for such vulgarity and he was evidently quite beside him self about It. for he recorded his sentiments on a postcard, to-wit: "You might tell us 'tis pleasant weather some fine day. Judging by your verbosity on such subjects as vitamins and colds you're not exactly a mine of Information about snoring. The main fault with my answer, I Infer, fa that it might cost some thing to follow the suggestions given. Long ago I found that a good many readers are like the beautiful Mint, Philadelphia you can't give her a book as a birthday gift because she has a book. I never advise anyone to consult a physician unless it is some barbarian who contrives to tele phone me about his hypothetical sick friend. Instead of laying myself open to the witty rejoinder, "Pardon. I thought you were onel" I simply mention apparent reasons why it might be well to have medical ex amination or advice, even though the correspondent may have chatted with a physician as recently as 1024. There are several styles or degree of snoring, from the soft, rhythmic sough of the physically fit individual who has vite. to the alarming stertor of the apoplectic. Snoring Is caused chiefly by the vibration or flapping of the soft pal ate In the varying currents of air entering partly through the mouth, partly through the nasal passage. As anyone may readily prove, however. snoring may occur even if the mouth Is kept closed and without any ab normality In the nasal passages. So the correction of snoring In volves much more than the correc tion of mouth breathing. The first factor to be investigated, however, Is the condition of the nasal passages, by means of head-lamp and specu lum, simple apparatus used by any doctor who la worth his salt. Local treatment, medical or surgical, may be necessary when there Is thickening of turbinate, polypus or simple chronic rhinitis with congestion or boggy swelling obstructing nasal breathing. Adenoid or tonsil enlarge ment may require hygienic, medical or surgical treatment. During sleep there Is deep relax ation. Any moderate or low grade chronic trouble in the mucous mem brane attended with engorgement or congestion becomes more pronounced during sleep. Likewise, any general health deficiency which is accoro panled by poor tone or flabblnoss may be a factor of snoring. That's why I told the Scot general over hauling may be needed. Trouble with many snorers Is they smoke, drink, eat, sit and sleep too much. Comment on the Day s Ne ws QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS The Obsessor.

Beverly till I,, Calif. l aaaaaaafjia9 a.. g.K j O.aMclntvre NDW YORK, Bpt. 33. This Is the first time I've tried to step out in evening clothes since I don't know when. In the in terim, the full dress suit ia now called "white tie and tails." If I had class I'd have a guy named Hunter or some thing with a dead pan to lay out my things. But no. I have to do everything myself that high derisive shriek was from a certain lady peek ing over my shoulder. During this lay off, too, the one-stud evening shirt has become as out-moded as one of those steel spring do-hlckeys to mice up the coat lapels. This outfit has been In the moth balls so long It smells a bit gamey. I'll probably find a horoet'a nest in an off sleeve and a rat's nest In the coat Just about where the suspenders cross. In fact it wouldn't surprise me to fine a tVo-toed stoth hanging to a seam. But the way I feel Just so a bat doesn't fly out and scare me Into one of my spell. I'm allergic to bats. Oh, definitely. The last time I was vls-a vis with a bat I talked in flutey up takes like Ed Wynn and twitched for a week. squirt of vanilla on my handkerchief, I'd often feature one of those grass green or fiery red bows one bought off a card. The vest or weskit as we say on the Piping Rock verandah is another chameleon-like feature of evening dress. Just when you think a vest sawed off to the arm pits is hunky dory, zing, they come out with points reaching down to there. Wonder what became of the vest I picked up in the Burlington Arcade? The one speckled with embroidered fleur de lis. That was a one. I wore It once and somehow it all of a sudden van ished. I've searched high and low. But I have suspicions. By f BANK JENKINS, A REPORTER, following a visit to a nudist colony in California, writes: "What nudists need and can't havo not being kangaroos are pockets. They also need some thing to keep wasps from 6lttlng down on them and, when they sit down themselves, something to keep the splinters out." A ND, It should be added as a cyni- cal afterthought, they need to have their heads examined. v IN the midst of Uie controversy that Is raglDS around the appointment of Send tor Black to the supreme court, this thought occurs: Is membership In the Ku KIux Klan DISCREDITABLE? MR. BLACK evidently THINKS IT 1T1 is discreditable, at least In the case of a Justice of the supreme court, for he has been dodging around London for the past couple of weeks seeking to escape reporters who want to ask this perfectly sim ple question: "Are you or are you not a Klans-man?" At the last moment, when he has to return to America In order to be present when the court convenes on October 4. he cancels his reserva tion on the liner Manhattan and takes passage on a smaller boat. 4 THE question Mr. Justice Black has been dodging so industriously could be answered simply and plainly in either of two ways. He could say: "Yes, I AM a Klansman." Or he could say: "No, I am NOT a Klansman.' Communications BUT he says nothing, and goes on dodging the reporters to KEEP FROM HAVING to say anything. After bis appointment, he took the oath of office hastily, almost clan destinely and left the country im mediately. Thus the suspicion arises that Jus tice Black HIMSELF considers his alleged affiliation with the Klan as something discreditable either to him or to President Roosevelt, who appointed him, and seeks to escape discussion of it as long as possible hoping, perhaps, that the flurry over It will blow over. THAT Isn't a pleasant suspicion to be called upon to entertain about member of the supreme court of the United States. Yet it Is una voidably suggested by his peculiar behavior. I suppose I'll be about six pleats In arreara with pantaloons, too. This pair has three on each side. What with one thing and another, lumbago and taxes, I have not done any pants pleat peeking for months. There mas be more pleats than ever or none at all. if worst comes to worst I'll take Along a sharp knife and If pleats are cut I can run up some alley and un- pleat myself. And, of coure, my collar. I like the gates ajar effect of a wing collar. It gives the Adam's apple pleasant pas turage, But my supply of collars for evening seems to have taken on an autumnal tint a bit of the sere and yellow. About three shades lighter than Aunt Agatha's Jaundice. But I can't send laundry out to the China man thla time of day and get It back on time. A nation-wide study of psrol prac tice U being made for the drparl merit of justice with WPA fund. A LL government is designed for the welfare and protection of the governed, ALL the people the greatest good for the greatest nujuher. When cither an individual, or any group of individuals, to advance their own selfish interests challenges this right, whether they belong to labor or capital, it is the duty of government, federal or state, to clamp down on them and clamp down hard, tell them firmly and clearly, where they get off. This principle has been adopted and enforced where capital is concerned. But when organized labor steps in, for some strange reason, labor has been accepted as above the law n specially privileged class. IK President Kooacvelt should visit San Francisco, and see for himself what two labor leaders, because they have a private grievance to settle, are doing to that city, and indirectly to the entire coast, we believe he would agree the time has enme for ending tlie reign of anarchy in the labor field, and placing labor f i t lme or below, but ON AN KQt'AI.ITY in ita responsibility and behavior, with EVtKY OTHKK LLAfcS. Lucius Beebe, than whom there 1 none more whomer in white tie -ing it all over the lot. declares the peak in full dress finesse is In having the bow ends stand out Just so. One may have all the Je ne sals quol of a Jack Buchanon for the meticulous nice tie or after dark habiliments, but Just let one tie end appear droopy and you are bak there in Ascot tie days with' the Bloomer Cllrls. Just thinking about It. makes me edgy. Imagine appearing at wherever I'm going with one tie end off balance 1 couldn't bear It. Think what the boya would say at The Raquet and at the Hampton. I'd never live it down. I can hear the mnow in after year aa I totter by. with all the doys barking and the children Jeer ing: "There goes Old Wllty Tie. yanh. yanh. yanh." It has always seemed pity In deed two pities and a sigh that some Br ummel-minded genius has not per fected a hook-on tie that will be all the go lor evening. At hrart I'm a hook tlr boy.

Something happened. The Paul Whlteman sus penders couldn't take It. Just a lot of show. And now, I'll have to go to the party reaching high In the air with one hand for shakes and reach ing low with the other for my britches. j WHEAT PRICES OP AT MARKET CLOSE CHICAGO, Sept. 28. (AP Wheat prices staged a recovery today when the market developed a steadier tone In the final hour and the day's losses In deferred contracts were eliminated. Weakness in Liverpool wheat was an unsettling factor here, as was a further decline In securities. Houses with eastern connections were report ed sellers early in the session. The recovery In stocks was reflected here later, however, and there were re port of a fair export demand for North American wheat. October corn rose 3 cents at the close. , Burch Scores Chamber of Commerce To the Editor: I believe that the people of Jack son county should know more of the duties and plans of the Oregon De partment of Geology and Mineral In dustrle. and why the action of the Medford Chamber of Commerce, clash es with those plans. The department 1 endeavoring to give impartial service to everyone who Is interested In the production or use of metallc and non-metallo minerals, be he miner, Industrialist, farmer or what not. The governing Board of the depart ment has employed the most dis tinguished -scientist available to make an impartial study of the effect of mining debris upon fish life, and his report whether favorable or unfavor able to the miner, will be published when complete. The department's first Investigation was directed toward finding a local source of salt for eastern- Oregon stockmen, and a survey of Willamette valley clays In cooperation with the U. 8. Bureau of Mines Is now In prog ress. I recently returned from a meeting at Vancouver, B. C, which I attended at a considerable cost to myself, in time and money, but without a cent of cost to the state. The principal object of my trip was a personal in terview with the director of the U. S. bureau of mines regarding coopera tive work with our department on Oregon projects. I have known him for thirty years, and the Interview was entirely successful. While at the meeting I heard a pa per read concerning coal stokers for residences. The U. 8. Bureau of Mines Is conducting a series of tests of var ious coals for this purpose, and, muc to my surprise, I learned that so far as tests have progresed to date, sub bituminous coals have been found more efficient than bituminous. Jackson county has sub-bituminous coal and our board should appropriate money for the collection of represen tative samples to be tested by the U. S. Bureau of Mines. Probably there are valuable clays in the county, which, in due time would be tested, and consideration should be given to the iron ores In Jackson county. But Jackson County Chamber of Commerce has gone out of Its way to slap an important branch of mineral industry in the face, and the other members of the board, believing that the chamber Is representative of the people, are not likely to go out of their way to favor this county, when the whole state must be covered with limited funds. Personally, I do not believe that the chamber has reflected the sentiment of the majority of the people, and will favor Just treatment by our board, difficult though it may be to obtain it.
