MEDFORD MAIL TRIBUTE, rEPFCTRD. OREfiOy. SUNDAY. OCTOBER 30, IfirtFt. PAGE THREE MOODY STRESSES NEED OF LI 10 Review of Recent Report On Racketeer . Prosecutions Cites Sinister Aims of Labor Dictators. PORTLAND, Ore., Oct. 39. Spl.) The following address wu deliv ered by Asst. Atty. General Ralph E. Moody over radio station KOW Friday night: I speak tonight to the citizens of Oregon as the coordinator appointed last March by Governor Martin to assist the . district attorneys and other law enforcement agencies In the task of freeing Oregon from labor racketeering. I speak under the sponsorship of no one, and at my own expense. On October 13 this year I sub mitted a progress report to the gov ernor which he released to the pub 11c on October IS. Such report showed the result of these prosecu tions to have been the arrest of 130 persons charged with 233 crimes; M pleas of guilty, 11 convictions. only 3 acquitted, 23 released on in sufficient evidence, 38 pending trial or sentence; Jail sentences aggregat ing 28 years, penitentiary sentences aggregating 38 years and 3 months. I said in that report: A Labor Dictatorship TJehind the evidence and test! mony which has been presented in connection with the trials lies mass of information Indicating and proving the existence of a well planned conspiracy to bleed the teamsters' union treasury, mulct the public through questionable and sometimes illegal agreements with employers. In an endeavor to stifle and ruin competitive Industry and to carry out these sinister designs through Intimidation, coercion, vio lence, and even bloodshed; and that the cumulative evidence revealed the evidence of a premeditated, cold blooded plan of action on the part of self-appointed racketeering union officials to establish themselves as dictators over labor, economic, polltl- oal and Industrial destinies of Ore gon." No Remedy Available In concluding the report I called attention to the fact that under the existing statutes of this state there was no available remedy for the members of labor unions to enforce an accounting by officials of the unions for funds received and ex pended, nor affording adequate rem edy and protection to industries driven to bankruptcy and ruin through improper picketing 1 and strikes, nor to protect the public from the injuries suffered and finan cial losses sustained by reason of jurisdictional disputes, strikes and lawless molestation, and blockading of trade and commerce by labor Dosses and racketeering. I further said at the close of the summary contained in the report: "That without supplemental legis lation to protect the members of labor unions from raids on their treasury and to protect Industry from destruction of property and "to protect the public from the blockad ing of shipping and commerce and to insure the transportation of pro ducts, it la possible that there may be a recurrence of the reign of labor terrorism from which Oregon la now experiencing a lull." Chnllenjre Is Accepted Since the release of this report to the public it has been called to my attention through certain articles In the press and by radio talks that these conclusions of mine have been denied and the necessity for addl. tional legislation challenged. In view or xne ract that the voters of the state at the coming election will be caned upon to act on this vital and important matter I consider I would be derelict in my dutv as a nubile official If I failed to accept this challenge or disregard the obligation of calling the voters' attention to the fact that my report was in every respect true and the recommenda tions made therein for additional legislation absolutely necessary, not oniy :or the protection of the mem bers of the union, but for the safety of the people of the state in their persons and property. System Is Vicious It is true that the present statutes of the stat are sufficient to punish offenders who actually commit dvdi of vandalism, but such convictions will not eradicate the vicious system responsible for the evil. There are In the Oregon state penitentiary and In Oregon Jails unfortunate men who are there because they are the victims of the vicious system prac ticed by the overlords of the teams ters' union and Its affiliated unions.

PERSONAL AND AUTOMOBILE LOANS What does It profit a prosecutor to bring those men to trial and put them behind bars. If outside those bars we leave a host of disillusioned men and women who have been betrayed by their own leaders wo men with bills unpaid, with chll dren unfed, women with husDanas out of work, boys and girls out of Jobs? What does it profit for the ruined lives of these convicted men if the system remains whereby busi ness may be ruined. Jobs destroyed, and the general public forced to suf fer irreparable Injury as new over lords rise to supplant those con victed? Need Redlal Legislation Under the present law we cannot prevent these labor racketeering overlords returning to us again, from calling strikes, from throwing people out of work, from using the money of the workers whose trust was placed in them for their own pur poses of aggrandizement and leader ship. Regardless of what candidates for office may find it expedient to say, we do need laws to protect those who have been preyed upon, and for the protection of business and industry in the state, and I, whose duty It has been to act as coordi nator to assist the district attorneys and other law enforcement officers of the state, emphatically say that what we do need are laws to protect. Under the constitution of the state the people have reserved to themselves the right to act in a leg islative capacity by either Initiating a law or having a law adopted by the legislative assembly referred to the people for approval or rejection. When the voters of the state are acting upon a proposed law, either initiated or referred to them for ap proval, they are acting In a legis lative capacity and thus performing the most important function of gov ernment; the welfare of the state and its people in such circumstances is solely dependent upon the wisdom exercised In the actual doing of that duty; It la In the performance of that legislative duty that I am particularly calling your attention to the fact, that in order to protect union labor ita members, the farmers in the marketing of their products. the business and industries of the state and the public welfare It is absolutely necessary to enact new legislation for those purposes. Such legislation Is proposed and submitted for your approval and enactment on November 8 in the bill known as one to regulate picket ing and boycotting. It was con ceived, drawn up and initiated by the farmers of Oregon. What the Bill Provides This bill provides that a labor dis pute Is a dispute between an em plover and a majority of his em ployees. Under the present law one person or a few dissatisfied persons having no regard for the welfare of those for whom they are responsible, can throw hundreds out of work. If a strike is necessary, surety a ma jority of the employees will approve of it. What objection can there be to providing that it requires a majority of the employees of any employer to call a strike? The proposed bill also provides that it shall be unlawful to prevent movement of agricultural and other products. Can there be any honest objection to such provision? Under the present law we have suffered our lumber mills to have been shut down, our ports to have been closed thousands of men have been thrown out of employment, because two labor leaders have fought for Juris dictional control. It Is not apparent that the situation which caused such suffering needs remedying? The bill further provides that It shall be un lawful to boycott anyone who Is not directly involved In a labor dispute. Strike Isn't Outlawed Take careful note that this pro vision does not deprive the employees of a particular employer from strik ing, picketing or boycotting, pro vided those employees have decided by a majority vote that such action la necessary. But It DOES require that before striking, picketing or boycotting that a MAJORITY of the employees shall authorize it. What Is wrong about that pro vision? Such a provision Is certainly needed as It was because of the absence of this provision in our present lawa that the state has suf fered Its recent reign of terrorism. The bill says no union shall charge Initiation fees, dues, or levy fines, greater than the leal need of the union, and that the union shall keep books, and that every member shall have the right to find out how this money is spent. flood and Bail L'nlnnn I have In my office the publica tion of two well operated interna tional unions. One of them shows that it has assets of over twelve millions Invested in bonds. In homes for the aged, and so forth, every dollar of Its money is accounted for FUR REMODELING mil REPAIRING CLEANING and GLAZING We Guarantee Our Work France, Daltalre - Evelyn Tlce Phone D69-.M Winter-Proof . . . four CAR . . . our HOME . . ; Your BUDGET See us for the EXTRA CASH you may need! every nickel that la taken in, every ten cent piece that has been expended during every current month. This union has something to show to ltf members for the money they have contributed. I also have on my desk the record of unions run by Al Rosser under the dictation of Dave Beck, (222.000 collected in 1937 and hardly a dol lar of true value left to account to Its membership for, nothing but a record of beatups, of bombings, of convicts employed as goons, of money squandered by Rosser far In excess of his salary. In buying a ranch, blooded stock, race horses, sending his wife on a foreign trip, settling $5000 on her at the time of his divorce, the purchase of costly Jewel ry, automobiles and not one but several fur coats. Do we not need laws to protect working men and women against such a condition? We have laws protecting those who deposit their money in banks. In savings and loan associations, protecting dues and as sessments in fraternal organizations, premiums paid upon insurance to insurance companies, and practically all organizations who have the cus tody and control of funds. Then why not have laws to protect men and women of union labor against the raiding of their treasury and the use of their money for racketeering and unlawful purposes? The opposition to this proposed wise and necessary measure Is based upon reasons which are entirely eel fish or founded on arguments which are fallacious and unsound. Bill Beaten, Cause Beaten There are some who say they are opposed to this bill but admit the need of additional legislation on the subject, and say defeat this bill and let the next legislative assembly enact the necessary legislation. Such argument Is a political trick. Be not deceived or fooled by It for if this bill Is defeated those opposed will insist before the. next legislature and any succeeding legislature that the people by the defeat of this measure have given a mandate to the legislative assembly that it shall not enact any further laws on the subject. I say to the people of this state in all sincerity, that if it Is the de sire of the people to prevent a reoc currence of the labor racketeering wnicn we have just experienced then you should adopt this law. Therefore vote 318 X YES. EAGLES DISTRICT .6 Crater Lake aerie and auxiliary of the Fraternal Order of Eagles were In readiness yesterday tA entertain the district convention to be held here next Sunday, November 8. Plans for the convention were com pleted at Thursday night's regular weekly business sessions which were held prior to the lodge's publlo Hal lowe'en masquerade dance. The dance was declared by A. H. Banwell, aerie president, to be the most suc cessful held by the fraternity in years. Mr. and Mrs. A. C. Lucas were adjudged the most originally cos tumed husband and wife and receiv ed first prize. Mrs. Edna Myers re ceived first prize for the best in dividual costume. Judges were Svd I. Brown, Prank King and K. H. Dynge. It is expected that a large class or candidates will be Initiated into membership during the district con vention. Thirty-seven new applica tions were voted upon at Thursday's meeting by the local aerie. In the past three months Crater Lake aerie has taken In about 120 new and re-instated members, it was announc ed by William Peck, chairman of the committee on delinquencies.

Closing time for Too Late to Clas sify Ads la 1:30 p. m It's Time To TALK TURKEY The Turkeys produced In the state of Oregon are recognized In all American markett at among the very finest In the land. The grower, of course, does hit full share tn producing a fine product. Commission men and buyers who do not take proper care ot the dressed turkeys are no asset to the Industry, and anyone who packs turkeys without first thoroughly pre-coollng them Is really a detriment to the producers, consumers, the legitimate dealers and the turkey Indusry generally. , . It Is a matter of record and common knowledge that practically every year large quantities of Oregon turkeys turn green and spoil right In their containers causing heavy losses and Injuring the reputa tion of Oregon turkeys. And now, we will tell you the reasons why: You cannot dress turkeys today, pack them tomorrow, and expect them to keep many days, unless they are properly cooled and such cooling cannot he done by Just hanging them up overnight, unless the weather Is cold enough to bring the turkeys down to an Internal temperature of 36 to 40 degrees, depending on how long these turkeys have to be kept In fresh condition. Anyone who packs these turkeys without sufficient and proper cooling should not be permitted by the producers themselves to handle a single turkey. We ask you to realize that turkeys packed, let us say, between the fifth and fifteenth of November must be handled to carefully and coaled so thoroughly that, first, they will never he froien, and second, that they will be sound and sweet and In fine condition on somebody's table on Thanksgiving Dayi this It all the way from ten to twenty das after they are dressed. You cannot do that by Just hanging them up overnight, hoping that they will cool out. This concern his now provided proper facilities for dressing and for Immediate cooling alter dressing. We have one of the finest and largest outlets In the United States, through Bennett at Layton, Inc., of San Francisco. We shall do our best to pay you top cash prices under prevailing market conditions. We feel that we deserve the handling of your turkeys, both In your Interests, tn the Interest of the community where thew turkeys are produced. In the Interest of the turkey Industry generally, and In the Interest of the consumer who Is entitled to turkeys In sound condition. We a.k that yon rail, phone, or write to us.
