CONGRESSIONAL RKPORT TO

MAJORITY OF IIKI.EC.ATION
HOLMS TIME NOT HII'E
INVESTIGATION BELIEVED
TO HAVE BEEN THOROUGH
A. FX. BOOMS HYATT FOR
McGRAUY'S TOST
WASHINGTON, Nov. 19. There ha
fcpen much comment In the public
print over the alleged fact that con
gress wasn't officially notified con
cerning the special session, that the
members Just sort of accidently
heard about It and turned up.
They were, on the contrary, offic
ially, notified, whether they know It
.or not.
Each member receives every day
two .couples of a publication whose
existence congress made possible and
the content of which, according to
the law. constltutea notlve to every
one concerned." It la the Federal
Register, published by the national
archives. It carried n Its Issue of
October 14, page one, column one,
the text of the presidential proclam
ation convening the extra session.
Hawaii, despite the royal hospital
ity she gave to the members of the
congressional delegation which Just
visited her shores, has given up the
Idea that she'll be granted statehood
at least in the near future.
Of course you won't get the Ha
waiian to admit this especially the
"Big Five," who control the Indus
trial and other destinies of the Island
but they probably know how the
delegation's report, when It Is made.
Is going to read.
That doesn't mean that all of the
congressional investigators would vote
against statehood for the Islands to
day. But the majority would.
Aa foreshadowed In this column
and reprinted In Honolulu, aome of
the senators went over prepared to
look behind all the doors and under
all the beds.
"O'Mahoney more than made good
en the forecast," reports one seasoned
Islander who has watched more than
one Investigating . committee start
out with a scalpel and end up with
a whitewash brush.
"Congresa has the first real bunch
of facts ever gathered here," con
tinues the man who saw the com
mittee at work and .play while It was
in the Islands. "O'Mahoney's lead was
well followed by others, and they
all have done a creditable Job of
fsct -finding."
Senator Burke is one of those who
think Hawaii ought to be granted
statehood.
Auswerlng the charge that the
Islands are dominated by an Indus
trial group, the petitioners for state
hood say that equally bad conditions
obtain in certain states on the main
land. Some of the Investigators
thought, logically, ir not altogether
mercifully. "Well, all the more reason
to keep from adding another."
The congressmen managed to keep
the Hawaiian moonlight and roses
out of their eye to an extent that
few predecessors have, held more
hearings eome 13 or 14. running
through one evening and one Sun
day session but they did miss a few
hots.
At leant that U ths low-down that
you can't whisper out loud In the
shadow of Kllauea. According to
these grapevine advices, It seems that,
when the friends of the Island mag
nates saw they were licked as far as
statehood went, they pushed the
Japanese question so far to the front
vthat some of their own fallings were

Accident Occurs When Hole
Reloaded After Failure to
Explode Men Working
On Logging Railroad
William . Chambers, 63, a timber
fallcr and bucker employed by the
Med ford Corporation (Owen-Oregon),
was Instantly killed at 10:60 a. m.
today by a dynamite explosion seven
miles northeast of Butte Falls where
: company employes were blasting
rocks for a logging railroad right-of-way.
j Witnesses to the tragedy told Dep
t uty Coroner Herb Brown that Cham
bers waa re-loadlng a. dynamite hole
when the explosion occurred; throw
ing him 30 feet In the air and 33
feet distant. He was horribly mangled,
and the deputy coroner said there
was no doubt but that ho died In
stantly. Charge Failed Explode
According to members of the blast
ing gang, they had shot off several
charges before the accident. One
charge, they told Brown, failed to ex
plode, and Chambers walked over to
re-load the hole. He took out the
apparently Impotent dynamite and
re-loaded the hole with new fuse,
cap and dynamite, they explained.
Then, as he was tamping down the
dirt covering the new charge, It ex
ploded, they dald.
A possible explanation of the pre
mature explosion advanced by wit
nesses, who were about 55 feet dis
tant, wa that Chambers, believing
the cap on the first dynamite charge
waa dead,-threw it back down , the
hole before he re-loaded with new
explosives.
Witnesses were Roy Lock ard, Harry
Herrlford, George Trefren and Pete
Laugh! In. All were members of the
blasting gang with Chambers.
Exact location of the accident was
on spur 8 of the Medford corpora
tion railroad, three-fourtha of a mile
from the Rancherla road.

LABOR PICKETING
SALEM, Nov. t9. (API Truck
operators under state permits must
make deliveries to all places of busi

picketed, Public Utilities Commis
sioner N. G. Wallace ruled today.
He ordered the Bllver Wheel Motor
Freight, Inc., to make deliveries to
F. H. Chatas and R. J. Nlcol, opera
tors of a picketed Salem restaurant.
Drivers of the freight company had
re fused to make deliveries because
of fear of reprisals from their union.
Wallace held refusal of a common
carrier to carry out Its contracts
"cannot be excused for the reason
trrata strike would extend to Its
operations. f
"The praoUces and services of the
freight company In refusing to com
plete deliveries to the restaurant firm
are unreasonable, unfair, unduly dis
criminate, preferential and prejudi
cial to the restaurant firm,
"It Is found that no riot or strike
existed 'at the restaurant, no threats
of violence, nor Intimidation offered
by the ssld picket to the drivers and
helpers, of the freight company, and
such picketing does not relieve the
freight company of Its duty to the
restaurant and the general public
under the conditions of Its permit
and Its tariff."
Wallace did not rule on the ques
tion of whether a truck driver would
have to make delivery If a strike or
riot existed, but he Implied that the
driver would not.
