Rltchey, 42, Brooks farm worker, was killed Sunday when his tractor was struck by a north bound Southern Pacific passeng er train Ui miles south of Ger vals. The tractor was destroyed, while the front of the locomo tive was damaged so badly that repairs had to be made when the train reached Woodburn. Closing tlma i or Claaalfttd Ada l m. Too 1st to Claaallj 12.30 To the The dispute between Southern Oregon Sugar Pine Co., Central Point, and its em ployees, which it Interfering with production of essential war materials, is now entering its second week. The citizens of this community, particularly, have a right to resent this inter ference, and they are likewise entitled to know who it responsible for this deplorable tituation. During February, 1942, (hit company's employees decided to establish an A. F. of L. union. Practically all of them joined at that time. When a representative of the union in formed the employer of this he expressed bitterness, and was resentful of the fact that hit employees had organised. Immediately following, and up to April 20, when a walk-out occurred in protest to wide spread further discriminations against union members, a program of pressure and discrim ination against these members was carried on by the company and itt representatives, as we shall prove in government action which the union hopes will be taken against the company. Wages are not involved. On April 21, the day following the walk out, a Conciliator for the U. S. Department of Labor, met in joint session with representatives of management and the union. At a result of this meeting the Conciliator recommended that the men return to work, status quo, and that both sides accept mediation as a basis of settle ment of all points In dispute. This plan, which the union readily accepted, was flatly rejected by management. On April 22, the Director of U. S. Con ciliation Service, Washington, D. C, demanded that both the company and union accept a similar proposal. In reply, the union renewed Its acceptance of the Government's proposal, and also demanded that a just settlement be FORCED upon both parties. The responsibility for Interference with war production in this case rests tquarely upon management of Southern Oregon Sugar Pine Co., as we feel sure further government action will develop, and we ask that the public with hold judgment until the facts are disclosed at result of hearings which are pending. LUMBER & SAWMILL WORKERS. LOCAL 3030; Affiliated with MEDFORD AND VICINITY CENTRAL LABOR UNION, A. F. of L. MEDFORD MAIL PUBLIC ASKED TO AID NAVY RELIEF T. E. Daniels Chairman for Northern Jackson County; National Quota 5 Million. Jackson county's campaign to raise Its quota of the National Navy Relief society drive for $3,000,000 is being organized with the drive planned for the first two weeks in May. The campaign has the hearty en dorsement of President Roose velt and Secretary of the Navy Frank Knox. Navy relief funds are used ex clusively for benefit of the de pendent widows, minor orphan children and mothers of deceas ed officers and enlisted men In the uavy, marine corps and coast guard and arc for immediate fi nancial aid not provided for In the form of pensions. Much of this aid must be given the fami lies immediately, long before regular government allotments can be properly authorized. The funds will also take care of hos pital expenses In the families of deceased service men In these branches and provide education al benefits for their orphaned children. Knowledge of these as sured benefits to their families is greatly heartening to the brave men of the navy, marine corps and coast guard. Losses Heavy Up to this time, since Its or ganization in 1820, tht navy re lief society has taken pride in being self sustaining from funds subscribed by its own personnel With the loss of 2897 men killed and 940 Injured at Pearl Harbor ! In a few hours, more casualties than were sustained by the navy during the entire Spanish-American and World War 1 combined. and a navy enlarged to 500,000 men, the organization can no longer be self sustaining. Every true American Is expected to welcome the opportunity to con tribute to the fund.
