PAT3T3 TWO arEDFOUD fATIi TRIBUNE, arEDFORP, OREGON, THURSDAY, XOYEifBER 18. 1937. E. DEFEAT URGED BY EDIIORCHAPMAN Wagner Labor Law Also Decried by Forum Speaker Ask Individual Citizens to Write Congressmen A plea for opposition to the wages 114 boura bill now pending In eon gnu and (or amendment to the Wagner labor relation! law now In force was voiced last night by o. O. Chapman, editor of the Oregon Voter, t the Jackson County Chamber of Commerce dlnner-forum In the Hotel Medford. Mr. Chapman said he had been asked to convey the plea to the chamber of commerce here by, the Portland Chamber of Commerce 01 whose committee on legislation be Is chairman. The Wagner act requires amend 'tnent In vital particulars, Mr. Chap man deolared, asserting It should ' impose responsibilities equally upon unions and employers. As It at&nds only employers are responsible and r punishable under the act, he stressed. Labor Board Happed. Another vital defect of the Wagner act Is the machinery set up for Its administration, . Mr. Chapman stated The national labor relations board, be asserted,' Is allowed to conduct bearings without regard to the rules of evidence established In courts and to voice personal opinions that nave the weight of law. , "Under the Wagner act the ooun try la undergoing an ordeal that seems Incredible." Mr. Chaoman said "It Is a form of inquisition. Un 'doubtedly it Is the Intent of the labor relations board to ruin the Industrial Employes' union and other private assoclstlons of employes.' ' ' If passed Into Isw, the wsges and -hours bill In Its nrcaent lorm would slave all the defects of the Wsgner tat, psrttoularly regarding procedure, Mr. Chapman aald. It would appar ently "afflict the country with opin ions having the authority of law wiinouc any reoourse to courts," ne stated. I.WIIIUIIUU IU MMUIh ' In administering the bill In Its present form there would be a con tusion of wsges and hours through out the country, with political favor shown In some localities and politi cal reprisals In others, Mr, Chapman ewerred. Those In ohartre of administering the Wsgner act are practically all Democratic politicians or labor lead. mra t Vii. ,tu, irttr tt . r,r .Ha. the exceptions were former news papermen who are paid higher sala ries that prevail on newspapers to write clever propaganda. The same conditions, he asserted, would pre vail under the hours and wsges bin if passed In Its present form. aoes no gooa lor.-unfaiiiHiuons like chsmbers of commerce to send petitions to congress, Mr. Chspmsn aid, and so the Portland chamber was asking Individual citizens here to write their views on these, meas ures directly to their congressmen. After conveying the Portland Cham ber'a messsge, Mr. Chapman launch ed Into what he described sa his own talk. He painted picture of labor confusion and conflict In the northwest. Employers Licked. There are employers In Portland who are licked end are now re cruiting offices and collection agen cies for the American Federation ot Labor," Mr. Chapman said. He told of a Portland grocer who had to pay the union duea for five of his seven employes In order to avert picketing, the only grievance the union had against htm being that the five employes were behind In their payment of dues. Mr, Chapman said other employers laced the same predicament. The speaker told of conditions re sulting In the shut-down of In dustry In the Portland area because of strife between the C. I. O. and the A. P. U He detailed situations Intended to show thst the fight be tween the two labor organizations had resulted In a break-down of law and order. Seattle Cited. Portland was made panicky by what happened In Seattle, Mr. Chap man aald, pointing to the closure ot the Post Intelligencer wnen ine American Newspaper Guild was af filiated with the American Federa tion of Labor and had the support of Dave Beck, Seattle labor leader, and his unions. Later, Mr. Chapman related, the guild Joined the C. I. O. and ex panded Its reach to include all news paper workers excepting those af filiated with the mechanical unions. The Star was closed, he stated, until Beck and bla A. P. L. unions de clared war on the guild. Then. In order to do business at all, the star went over to the A.F.L. and C.I.O. newspaper employes were thrown out of Work. Seeing whst hsd hsppened In Be attle. the Portland Oregonlan tied In with the A.F.L.. the white collar employes unionised and are now happy beoauaa they are getting higher pay and the "Oregonlan will go to any lengths to maintain this good will," Mr. Chapman declared. "Our Oregonlan, with Its fine edi torial page, has surrendered to the unions," the speaker asserted. "Its edltorlsl page haa not surrendered It Is still Independent but in its business relstions the Oregonlan has surrendered," he said. Remedy Not Simple. "The remedlos are not simple," Mr. Chapman atated In urging his audience to come "to the rescue 01 the atate" In the primary and final olectlons. Legislators should be chosen with care, he Indicated, and praised the state legislators now serving Jack, son county. Mr. Chspmsn eulogized Governor Charles H. Martin for standing for law and order. He said that people In the east point to Martin as the one outstanding governor in the west, that Callfornlana find an In spiration In the Oregon governor and that In Washington where mere is also a Governor Martin, the people say to Oregonlans "Oh, If we only had your Governor Martin. It ! high time for us to take far more Interest in politics than we have In the past." Mr. Chopman concluded. Raymond R. Reter, general man ager of the Pinnacle Packing com pany, presided. Others he Introduced Included Mrs. Chapman, I. P.Leavitt, superintendent of Crater lake na tional park; Karl L. Janouch, super visor of the Rogue river national forest, Olen Arnsplger, president of the Jackson County Chamber of Commerce, Mrs. Arnsplger, . J.
