Moreover, when the caaea against these thugs and gangsters ware pend ing In the court the annual con vention of the A. P. of L. assembled In Tillamook In June of thla year, caused a resolution to he passed de nouncing the prosecution as "persn cutlons," and pledging financial aid to the Teamsters union. I read you thla resolution: "Whereas, the Teamstera local un lone of the state of Oregon have been singled out In the attempt by aub verslve groupa of thla atate, to dla rupt the labor movement; and "Whereas, these same groupa by the aid of atate, county and city of- tonal property In the breaking of windows in a barber shop, in an en deavor to force the non-union barber to Join the union.

Ruts waa charg ed with the crime of destruction of tractora, belonging to a firm of con tractors In The Dalles, In order us compel such contractors to force their employee to Join the team stera' union. Rut waa convicted and sentenced to the penitentiary where he It now confined. After the Ruts case Mr. Roblson waa one of the leading attorneys for Al Roaser and defended Rosser at his atlng thla bill and not left the bur- 1 den to the lemurs; and It la proper, when the farmers have borne the burden of the heat of the day, for all good citizens to come to their aid. For It la time the public, busi ness men, and union men and women learn the simple but vital truth that business. Industry and labor go up and down with agriculture; time that they learn that If the city of Portland falls to keep the .waterfront open to commerce and our land transportation channels open trade, the farmer cannot market their products and the parallratlon of all business and all employment will ensue, 4 Wednesday evening to vltlt relatives.

Moody over radio ata tlon KEX on November a: I again apeak to the people of the state of Oregon as the co-ordlnator appointed by Governor Martin to Ra ti at the district attorneys and other law enforcement officers In freeing and ridding the state of all forma of labor racketeering. In my posi tion as co-ordlnator 1 represent aU of the people aa does every other official who la consclentloua In the performance of his duty. In thla Im portant position my client are all of the citizens of the state and I am your servant, and as such I am under obligation to call your atten tion to the most Important matter, so far aa the welfare of the state and Its citizens Is concerned, and that la the unquestioned necessity of the voters of the atate at the com lm November election giving their approval to the enactment of the bill known as the one which reg ulstea picketing and boycotting. 120 Arrested The recent prosecutions of persons charged with labor racketeering In throwing bomba and by other meana destroying property and atopplng the flow of commerce resulted In the arreat of 130 persons charged with 332 crimes, vo of whom either plead ed guilty or were convicted on trial. Since then, and at present, there has been a temporary suspension of thla labor racketeering: but be not deceived by this lull, for there has been no reformation and there will be no reformation unless the voters of the state adopt the bill regulating v picketing and boycotting at the election on November 8 of this year. Thla lull In labor racketeering activ ity It only permitted to exist by the orerlorda In the labor untona for the sole purpose of attempting to convince the people that they have reformed. In order to Induce the voters of the atate to defeat the measure which la necessary and es sential for the protection of the farmers, the Industrie, the business of the state and the public welfare. Cites Opposition Since, the Initiation of the farmers bill regulating picketing and boycot ting, there has developed a well defined opposition from certain sources the same sources that are attacking my report to the governor recommending additional legislation " for protection from future labor ter rorism In this state. Let us examine Into this opposition and ascertain whether It Is selfish or unselfish, pre judiced or unprejudiced. First of all we have the opposi tion of the leaders of the Oregon state federation of labor. During all ; of the terroristic regime the same federation leaders who are opposing this Initiative measure sat Idly by and allowed It to run It course without molestation: nor did they at much as lift a finger In the In terest of law and order when the atate police. In cooperation with the vi1ffa Htv nnltce. descended upon the labor gangsters who had beat up Innocent workers, bankrupt ing business, bombing and burning ftclalt have carried on a relentless j trial In Polk county, at which trial Rosser waa convicted ana seniencea to 13 years in the penitentiary for the crime of arson. In burning a fac tory known as the Sftlem box factory. In order to force the ownera of thr.t mill and factory to compel their em ployee to Join the union, which they did not want to do. Hla case la now on appeal to the supreme court. Orange Master Hit Next we have the opposition of the master of the Oregon State Orange. The reason for thla opposi tion to the bill becomes tpparent when It la realised that for yeara there has existed a political alliance between the executive committee of the Oregon State Orange and 'Jie leaders of the Oregon State Feder ation of Labor, a political alliance that was renewed at the same an nual convention of the Federation of Labor at whicn It denounced the) goon prosecution as persecution. In view of such circumstances how much weight ought to be given to the argument advanced by the mas ter of the Orange? Very little, If any. I say. The burden of the argument against this bill from these source; Is one of class prejudice and hatred They are endeavoring to prejudice you against this constructive plec" of legislation by saying the buslnn men and Industrialist of the city c Portland and the state have come t. the financial aid of the farmers It; their cnmpalcn for relief through th. passage of this measure. The truth of the matter 1s thst the business men of this staff should have taken the leed In Inltl- persecutlon of labor, teamsters Ion officials and members: and "Whereas, by this activity on the part of our enemlee. It haa caused these local unions of teamsters to be In financial difficulty In the con duct of their buslnet; "Therefore, be It resolved, that the Oregon State Federation of Labor and it affiliated unlona pledge themselvea to render financial aid to those unions tn thlt present contro- veray. What are these subversive groups referred to In the resolution? Were they the governor, the stat police, sheriffs, city police and detoctlves who arrested 130 thugs and gangsters for crimes ranging all the way from beat-up of workers, acid throwing, bombing and arson? It would seem to be the only answer that no others were referred to than our chief ex ecutive and law enforcement officers, who In accordance with their oath of office were attempting faithfully to do their duty and uphold law and order. geet Raided Treasury To whom does the federation refer In Ita resolution In averring state, county and city officials hsve car ried on a relentless persecution of local teamstera, union officials and members? Of course It refers to our district attorneys who have been con victing these thugs and gangsters (ltd to our Judges who have been sen tencing them to terms behind the prison bara. Finally, how does It happen that the local union of teamsters Is In financial distress and In need of financial aid from the federation and It affiliated unions? There la only one answer to that question and that I that Al Rosser, executive secre tary of the Teamsters union, used the funds of the local for niring thugs and gsngsters to beat up In nocent workers and to bomb and burn property, regardless of the con sequences to human life. Permit me here to point out that "one of the major purpose of the farmers Initiative meaaure la to pre vent In the future any labor buss or racketeer from using the funds of the law-abiding rank and file to hire thugs or. otherwise violate the law. It achieves this purpose by specifi cally providing that It ahall be un lawful for a labor organization to collect duea. fines or assessments In excess of it legitimate requirement. and by giving the member of a un ion the right to Inspect the' books and records of their organization. Has Fee To Earn Another strong opposition comes from Mr. B. A. Oreen. who ha been. and probably now is, the general counsel of the State Federation, of Labor. Naturally, as a lawyer he has a fee to earn, and a position to re tain: to we may discount hi oppo sition one hundred percent. Next we have the opposition of Mr. Charles W. Roblson. Who Is Mr. Charle W. Roblson and what have been hi recent activities? He was the leading counsel defending Hugh Reynolds, who wa secretary end treasurer of the teamstera local, at Eugene and Marshfleld. Reynolds wst charged with the destruction of per- Talent TALENT.
