SPRAGUE PLEDGES
E DEAL AT
REPUBLICAN MEET
Gubernatorial Aspirant Out
lines Policies to Large
Gathering Holman, Mott
Also Speak.
narlea A. Sprague, Republican
nominee for governor, pledged n
efficient and competent business aa-
mlnlstratlon In an address at a party
rally In tha aenlor high school audi
torium laat night.
It waa tha largest political rally
held here In yearn, the main floor
of the auditorium being practically
full. Tha audience waa attentive and
reaponetve, punctuating the talka
with frequent applause.
Other ipeakera Included Rufua
Holman, atate treasurer and candi
date for the U. s. senate, and Re pre
eentatlve James W. Mott, candidate
for re-election to congress. Kenneth
O. Denman, county chairman, pre
alded. Local candidates aat on the
stage and were Introduced to the
assemblage.
"X propose keeping down the mid
41 of the road," Mr. Sprague de
clared. "I have little patience with
meddlesome minorities, with extrem
ist on either the right or the left.
I am not a .candidate for the new
deal, but I am a candidate for a
souara deal."
Mr. Sprague atressed throughout
bis talk that the running of a atate
la a business of which the governor
la the executive head. He pointed out
that, counting the Independent ln
, come of various departments that la
expended, the governor of Oregon
haa supervisory administration over
90,000,000 each blennlum.-
"That la a sizeable sum, a large
business that needs honest, capable
and efficient admlnlatratlon," the
candidate said.
Mr. Sprague promised an adminis
tration that was strong snd efficient
as well as humane, economlcsl with
out being penurious. He asserted that
under hla administration no one
would go In want, that necessary
relief would be carried on but with
out encouraging the "moocher and
the grafter" to live a life of ease.
Tha nominee warned against
letting relief administration fall Into
tha hands of "grafters and racket
eers, declaring that under auch cir
cumstances there would be plenty
for the grsftera, but precious little
for the needy.
"But relief will not solve our eco
nomic problems; we must provide
Jobs," Mr. Sprague repeated from
prevloua talks. "We must mix brains
with our natural resources."
As Gov. Charlea H. Martin had
proposed In hla unsuccessful pri
mary campaign, Mr. Sprague sug
. gested thst Jobs could be created by
encouraging new Industries In the
tat and by finishing rsw materials
Into finished products within the
atat. Instead of exporting the raw
materials to be manufactured else
where. Mr. Bpragu also asserted that em
ployment could be Increased by
putting an end to Internal labor
attire, "employers, workers and the
publte are "fed up" with labor atrlfe
that puta men out of employment,
he aatd.
"Labor haa Its rights. Ubor organi
sations have their rights, but all
organlratlons, whether labor or em
ployer organisations, must respect
th law of tha atate," Mr. Sprague
declared.
Asserting thst voters should take
Inspiration from the atate's motto.
"She files with her own wings." Mr.
Sprsgu said thst dictation should
not be taken from Washington.
"I'm not a hitch-hiker to public
office, I'm not trying to thumb a
rlda on the coattail of someone In
Washington," he concluded.
Mr. Holman asld he did not op.
Pom all the alma of the present ad
ministration, but asserted It was
time to consider other plana for
their arrnmpltshment.
Mr. Mott reviewed national legls
Istlon relating particularly to this
part of the state, repeating In the
main the talk he gave at the Kiwania
luncheon earlier In the day.
Mr. Mott Hated thst the defeat
of the court reform plan snd the
reorgsniMtlon bill had restored to
congress tha legislative function "It
had surrendered to the executive
depsrtment."
At tha conclusion of the talks a
man In the audience asked the can
didates their stand on the Townsend
old-sre pension plan. Mr. Holman
declared himself In favor of tha plan
and Mr. Mott apoke on a bill pend
ing before congress, which he said
ha helped to frame. The bill, he
explained, fixes no definite pension
but provides for the distribution to
ellgiblea of a fund created by a 9
per cent transaction tax.
Mrs. C. I. Hopkins, speaking for
Pro-America, told the part women
might play In government.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 11. (VP) A
railroad labor witness charged today
the demand for a 1ft per cent wage
reduction came from "a small Inner
group of so-called Investment bank
ers symbolized and dominated by the
private banking hcAise of J. P, Mor
gan 4s Co."
W. Jett Lauek, economist for rail
road brotherhoods, urged President
Roosevelt's emergency fact-finding
board to look Into the financial his
tory of railroads before deciding upon
the wage reduction against which
1,000,000 workers have voted a pro
teat strike.
'"There Is an emergency, but not
from the public or employes' stand
point," Lauck aatd. "It Is an emerg
ency for the private banking houses
which have controlled the railroads,
and which do not wish to be ousted
from auch control In the future."
J. Carter Port, chief railroad coun
sel, strenuously objected to the con
tents of Lauck 's statement, on the
ground he waa "making an argu
ment unsupported by facts."
Lauck, carrying a foot -high pile
of documents and papers, said he
was merely summarizing In advance
data which would prove his conten
tions. Instesd of a wage slash, Lauck said,
"bankers could easily maintain the
solvency of the rallroada" with the
help of government credit.

PLANT DIRECTOR
E
PORTLAND, Oct. 11. (AP) An
effort, under the watchful eyes of
the federal labor conciliation board
and the national labor relations
board, to end the tleup of Doern
becher and B. P. John furniture
factories was made today by union
and factory representatives.
A wage cut dispute closed the
two plants, normally employing 1500
men, early last week.
Howard D. Chastaln, general man
ager of the Doernbecher company,
charged that "many misstatements"
have been made, typical of which
was one "that we are seeking 30 per
cent wags cut."

IN COURT ACTION
The Opp mine was back In circuit
court today, the subject of another
suit by Robert 8. Bailey and his
daughter, Laura Bailey, against Rose
and John W. Opp.
The latest action seeks an account
ing and Judgment for the payment
of any money that might be found
due the plaintiffs from operations of
the mine since payment waa made on
a contract following a supreme court
ruling upholding valadlty of the
contract.
The contract was made originally
In June, 1920, between Robert S.
Bailey and his wife. Bemfcce, and
the Opps, and provided for the pay
ment to the Baileys of 81600 and an
additional 810,000 payable at the
rate of IB per cent of the puchaslng
price if the mine waa sold, or 16
per cent of the net returns If It
waa not sold, the complaint states.
The mine was not sold but waa
operated by the Pacific States Mine,
Inc., as lessee from October 22, 1931,
to the fall of 1036 snd waa leased
again on September 30. 1937. to J. R.
Plenum and P. Dale Wyatt, the com
plaint sets forth. It Is for an ac
counting and payment under this
latter operation that the present
milt was filed, the complaint dis
closes. The previous suit sought payment
on the contract under the Pacific
States operations and It waa -m that
litigation that the esse went to the
supremo court. The current suit as
serts that 17.625.80 Is still due on
the contract.
Mrs, En I ley died In 1030 and the
complaint states that Mr. Bailey owns
a three-quarter Interest In the con
tract and his daughter a one-quarter
Intreest.
J. P. Pllegel la attorney for the
plaintiffs.
