NIGH COURT HEARS
ATTACK ON STATE
Picketing Control Violates
Fundamental Rights of
Workers Is Contention
Salem, May 21. (Pi The
fate of Oregon's union control
law, which the voten passed
In November, 1938, by a mar
gin of 197,771 to 148.460, was
before the state supreme court
this afternoon when five Jus
tices were to hear arguments
in the attack by labor unions
' on the constitutionality of the
law.
The law prohibits picketing
or boycotting of employers un
less more than half of their
employes are engaged in a labor
dispute, prohibits unions from
collecting more dues than they
actually need, prohibits anyone
from interfering with the mar
keting of agricultural products,
opens books of unions to in
spection by their members, and
prevents unions from stopping
any person from accepting work
from any employer.
AFL-CIO Join In Attack
The suit attacking the law
was filed by the AFL, CIO and
the Railroad Brotherhoods, with
the American Civil Liberties
Union intervening on behalf of
the unions. Circuit Judges Rob
ert Tucker of Portland. James
T. Brand of Marshfield and
Arthur D. Hay of Lake county
ruled on July 8, 1939, that the
law Is valid.
The AFL brief before the
state supreme court contended
the regulation of picketing "vio
lates the fundamental and con
stitutionally protected rights of
workers to Join and conduct un
ions." It argued also that the
law was vague and Indefinite,
that it denies free speech and
free press, and that it conflicts
with federal labor legislation.
The AFL cited the recent
United States supreme court de
risions which outlawed picket
ing laws of California and Ala
bama because they denied free
speech, the AFL contending
that the highest court's decis
ions in the two cases apply to
tne uregnn law.
The CIO. asserting the un
ion control law "is in truth an
anti-labor law," argued that it
"arbitrarily and unreasonably
abridges the exercise of the
fundamental rights" of picket
ing, boycotting and existence of
labor unions.
Puce Declared Aim
The American Civil Liberties
Union, while asserting the law
denies free speech and due pro
cess of law. said "The only legi
timate purpose behind the en
actment of this law was to pre
vent disorder and Intimida
tion." District Attorney James R.
Bain of Multnomah county, de
fendant in the case, denied all
charges that the law Is invalid,
and slid the law was passed
In order to stop bitter warring
between the AFL and CIO, and
to stop violence and intimida
tion by labor unions.
A decision in the case Is ex
pected in two or three weeks.
The only judges not sitting In
today's hearing were Justice
Bailey, who Is in Washington,
D. C, and justice Bean, who
Is 111.

German Arrival Near Channel
Puts Allies in Bad Situation
By DeWitt MacKensie
The German claim of having smashed through the allied
front and reached the vicinity of the English channel at
Abbeville means, if it is substantiated, that the allies are
in a precarious position.
It doesn't mean, however.
that the
allies have been
crushed.
It is almost folly to discuss
this wholly confused situation
as it now stands. We need much
more information before we
shall be able to pass judgment,
and for that reason we should
hold steady until we get that
information.
However, there can be no
harm in speculating on what
the development may mean.
Ninth Army Crushed
The Germans say they have
crushed the French ninth army
and captured the general staff
with the commander, General
Giraud.
It isn't wholly clear just
where the ninth was holding
at the moment of the crash, but
it would seem that it had been
blocking the route into the val
ley of the Somme, near Per-
onne, which is a famous mili
tary route to the coast.
The nazis claim to have
smashed on and captured
Amiens and Abbeville. This
would mean that they have
achieved in at least some meas
ure what the kaiser's forces
attempted in the spring of 1918
when they all but won the war.
What the Germans don't
make clear is the strength of
the forces employed in this
thrust. We must assume that a
comparatively small mechan
ized spearhead has been Jam
med through to the coast, to be
followed by supporting troops.
Must Ssnd Support
In order to make this break
through stick, the nazis must
pour strong support through the
gap In the allied line, else they
will have merely tossed some
mechanized contingents out into
the blue to wander about on
their own.
If It proves that the Ger
mans have broken through in
force, then what does It mean?
To my mind the worst as
pect of the situation would be
that the large allied forces in
Belgium would be severed from
the French armies to the south
in France.
The armies In Belgium would
be surrounded on three sides
by the enemy. The possibilities
are pretty nasty. We can at
least say that it would take
masterful allied generalship to
save a disaster.
The German break-through
also presumably would ease the
way to Paris and we can expect
that the nazl drive toward the
capital, which had lost some of
its momentum, now will be
Increased again.
Air Open To England
If the Germans are able to
get hold of the channel ports,
especially on the northern
French coast at Calais, they will
have achieved their object of
getting back up against Eng

Now is the time to watch
Signor Mussolini. If in his mind
the fuehrer is approaching a de
cisive victory the Italian chief
tain may decide that this is the
accepted hour for Italy's en
trance into the war.
I can only add that even If
the nazi claims are true, it does
not mean that the allies are out
of commission.
This is a swell time for us
to keep our shirts on and not
get panicky.

TURNS EAST HERE ON
CRATER LAKE HIGHWAY
One-hundred sixty-five ve
hicles of the U. S. army's mo
torized third division, en route
from Camp Ord in California
to Camp Lewis in Washington,
branched off at Medford this
morning and proceeded east on
the Crater Lake highway.
The column, consisting of
light guns and trucks, was to
proceed over the Diamond Lake
highway, strike the Dalles-California
throughfare in Bend and
move on to Camp Lewis.
Other units of the motorized
division continued north on the
Pacific highway, the route tra
veled by most of the 1190 ve
hicles every day since Friday.
The vehicles turning off here
on the Crater Lake highway
were previously scheduled to
leave the Pacific highway at
Weed, Cal and travel north on
The Dalles-California highway,
but a flooded two-mile section
of the latter road 10 miles from
Klamath Falls forced the col
umn to come to Medford and
reach The Dalles - California
highway via Diamond Lake.
State police, who have been
assisting with traffic while the
motorized columns pas through
here, said today's vehicles were
the last of the large contingent
moving northward.

ALL NAVY YARDS
TOLD TO PUT
E WORKMENlAT HIGH SCHOOL
66 Warships Under Way to
Be Hurried Along; Roose
velt Summons Admirals
Washington, May 21. ()
All navy establishments were
ordered today by Lewis Comp
ton, acting secretary, to speed
up defense preparations by
working additional shifts and
by increasing civilian ship
building forces by at least 13,
000 within three months.
Compton sent a letter to the
commandants of all naval dis
tricts, yards and stations, all
bureaus and offices of the navy
department and to headquarters
of the marine corps.
The proposed increase of 15,
000 in shipbuilding forces, the
navy said, would be distributed
between the Portsmouth, New
York City, Mare Island. Phila
delphia, Boston, Charleston.
Norfolk and Puget Sound navy
yards.
68 Ships Underway
There are 66 warships under
construction or projected, in
cluding eight battleships.
Even as Compton's order was
announced President Roosevelt
concentrated on navy affairs,
summoning ranking admirals
and senate and house naval
committee chairmen to a con
ference at which the effects of
federa labor laws on ship build
ing were expected to be dis
cussed. The house committee ap
proved a proposal to authorize
the nevy to dismiss, without re
gard to the civil service law,
employes engaging in subvers
ive activities. The committee
withheld final action on the leg
islation, however, until Vinson
could take to the White House
set of amendments designed
to relax the labor laws.
Meantime the government
pledged full credit backing to
day to American industry en
listing in the national defense
drive.
