REAMES SPEAKER
AT ANNUAL FEAST
OREGON BOURBONS
(eoatisued from psge on)
opment of the country, labor
has struggled for better con
ditions, and during these times
was In no position to assert its
demands for change. People of
all ages labored through long
hours without limit and for
compensation wholly Inade
quate. It took many years and
a great increase in the labor
population, even idleness and
want, to bring about organiza
tions that might accomplish the
necessary reforms.
"When labor organizations
were beginning to get results,
they seem suddenly to have ob
tained rival unions in perfect
disagreement," Reames said.
"The rank and file of labor will
have to straighten -out this dif
ficulty for its own good. It
should do it soon while public
opinion still is strong for the
cause of labor.
"We went through the sit-
down strikes" in which "the
strikers legally could have been
ousted from their seats by the
force of arms with the shedding
of blood," Reames stated, and
asked. "Will there be any can
didate for the presidency in the
coming campaign who will now
urge that this should have been
done?"
In 1938 when the question of
sit-down strikes was before the
senate", Reames related that "a
distinguished senator said to me
that the lack of industry results
from the fact that business is
on a sit-down strike, which was
a very ape statement."
"The right of business to en
gage In a sit-down strike has
not been determined by the su
preme court," Reames said.
Business undoubtedly has a
right to conduct its affairs with
out interference by the govern
ment, but this must be done in
harmony with the time and the
conditions as they then shall
exist.
Labor's Friends Needed
Perhaps we can progress;
perhaps we can, with labor's
consent, prevent strikes until
the matter has been submitted
to and determined by competent
government authority. Perhaps
we can provide that while this
matter is being determined the
industry shall proceed with its
business, pay its labor as before
and await a final early judg
ment which will determine the
matter as of the date when it
was put before the government
board for determination. Labor
could retain its right to strike;
the employer could take the
legal remedies provided for re
view or appeal.
"I make the appeal to have
these changes, whatever they
are, made by friendly hands. I
do not believe that the neces
sary changes can easily be ac
complished except by labor's
friend. I do not mean that the
government must be turned ov
er to labor any more than to
capital, but the problem is one
for co-operation. Both sides are
responsible for many of the dif
ficulties. It looks like there is
too much money being handled
in the solution of the contro
versies to make for tranquillity.
"The present system over
looks the fact that the public
has rights involved. It seems to
be the innocent bystander
whose property is destroyed in
the settlement of the differences
between the parties. Neither has
the right to make the innocent
suffer and public opinion al
ways strongly will support a
solution that will protect the
public."
Speaking of the coming cam
paign the speaker predicted that
whoever shall be elected presi
dent will be one who will carry
out the humanitarian policies
of the administration.
Says G. O. P. Lacks Plans
"None of the Republicans
who have been mentioned for
this office has any plan to ac
complish anything except to oc
cupy the office," Reames said.
"So far as can be seen," the
speaker observed sarcastically
"Republican candidates for the
office are the only ones who
have said to the president
'Here's your hat, what's your
nurryr
"If the president wants his
name on the ballot, it should
be there. If he doesn't, it ought

This is part of a vast pre

"Party regulars who want to

Motives First
Again putting "motives" above
political ties, the president said
Alexander Hamilton, Jefferson,
Lincoln and Jackson were aii
heroes to him because they "did
a job which had to be done.
"Moti'e in the long run Is
what counts motive accompan

Roosevelt, came closest to an

candidacy when, his bald head
gleaming a tomato red under
the Klieg lights, he said with a
broad smile:
"Fellow candidates, ladies
and gentlemen."
Homer Cummings, former at

the dinner, noted he was sur

president Garner as "a salty

Garner, who Is an announces!

the president's hair as he sat

He declined to make a speech,
All the speakers, including
the president, expressed good
natured wonderment as to why
Senators McNary and Austin
and Representative Martin, He
publican leaders, had not ac
cepted free invitations to the
dinner.
"Why didn't our guests:

solemnly. "1 guess the real!
reason is that, like the small:

Optimists of 1829
The president received his
greatest applause when he de
clared: "Most of those who complain
now were the shouting optimists
of 1S29.
"I do not believe that the
American people who swallow
ed that canned optimism in 1928
will swallow canned pessimism
in 1940 particularly out of the

Partisan squabbles, he assert

the department of agriculture

The debt position of farmers
has improved considerably since
1935, the report compiled by
the bureau ef agricultural eco
nomies said. Land values have
increased and the total farm
real estate debt has declined ta
the lowest point la 30 years.
During the year ended last
March 1, only 18.8 of every
1,000 fans owners tost their
land through forced sales, fore
closure and tax sales. This com
pared with 17.4 farms the pre
vious year and 28.3 in the year
ended March 1, 19SS, when fore
closures started to beeome less
frequent.
Most of the forced sales last
year were due to mortgage fore
closures, bankruptcy or trans
fers of titles to avoid foreclos
ures. The bureau reported 13.4
farms in each 1,000 changed
hands because of those diffi- .
culties. In 1335 the number was
21 per 1,000 farms.
The number of fortes! sales
