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.

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.
National publicity on the cam
palgn has already been released
to the press, screen and radio
throughout the nation. Further
local Information, including
committee personnel and organ
izatlon plans for Jackson county
will be released through the
press and on the radio. T. E
Daniels has been appointed
chairman for northern Jackson
county.
Patriotic citizens desirous of
assisting In the drive will be
