MINERS FAVOR GOLD MARKETS Grants Pass, Oct. 20 Mem bers of the Western Mining Council, in a one-day meeting at the Redwoods hotel Wednesday were told that miners are the most pushed-around group in the world today. Gold mining, the delegates were told, has been shut down by war restrictions. Strategic metals miners are afraid to buy equipment and get started be cause r. les governing regulation ot the ore's purchase change so rapidly, they are liable to lose their investment before they get In operation. Then there Is no market except government stockpiles. Copper Cited WPB said it needed four mil lion tons of copper to carry on the war while in California, only four mines were allowed to oper ate, it was stated. John P. Hall, president of the Western Mining Council, scored the big eastern corporations for what he declared was an attempt to hold down western produc tion. At the afternoon session, lion Stansell, secretary of the Med ford Central Labor Council and Teamsters union and a member of the state board, and J. T. Marr of Portland, executive secretary of the Oregon State Federation of Labor, pledged the support of labor to the miners "for the ask ing." A resolution was passed to open gold mining in the United States for free world market. It was pointed out that rules con cerning gold mining in this country together with the fixed price of ?35 per ounce to be sold only to a government agency, has Injured gold mining and mines in the U. S. while permitting all other countries of the world to take advantage of world mar kets.

S. mining laws. ' It was voted to petition the federal Congress to create a post war construction program to build access roads tapping recre ational and strategic mineral re source regions in the public do main which includes all reverted lands.

USO Entertainers Must Go to Front Instead of Paris Paris, Oct. 20 (U.PJ It's up to the foxholes and trenches or else for the top line'' Broadway and Hollywood performers who have come to Paris to entertain the GI's. That was the order of M'. Gen. John C. H. Lee issued to day, banning future perform ances in Paris by the entertain ers. First to be hit by the order was Marlene Dietrich who has been here for more than a week with a USO troupe. She left for a six weeks' tour of front line units today.

Bricker of 'Ohio as keys to post war jobs which he called the "major domestic problem." The republican vice-presidential nominee opened his drive for Nevada's three electoral votes here with a prepared speech in which he called for the repudiation "of alien forces which would make our workers economic slaves." He said he referred "in particular" to Earl Browder and his communistic political association. - Must Aid Industry . "Good jobs with good pay come from production," Bricker said. "This means that govern ment must encourage industry to produce and help it to de velop constructive programs of social responsibility." He credited the private enter prise with the war production achievement and warned that this system cannot survive in competition with government owned and managed corpora tions financed by the taxpayers. "Private enterprise," he said, "which must make a profit to live and provide jobs, cannot compete with government-owned business' which is not under the compulsion of making a re turn of invested capital." He added that private enter prise was threatened by "un reasonable government . control and by an unstable system of taxation" which he said was "designed to confiscate wealth." Revolution Seen Aim Calling for repudiation of alien forces, Bricker charged that "Browder and the Com munists" were determined .to bring about a revolution. They expect their revolution to come about by government and indus trial confusion "by setting class against class," he said. "Having failed to bring it about by open attacks on the Ameri can system, they are determined to bring It about by boring from within." Bricker touched again on the expected $300,000,000,000 post war national debt and said that "the New Deal will rationalize anything." "It will tell us that black is white that bankruptcy and sol vency are one and the same thing." he said. While the average wage earnec has no comprehension of $300,000,000,000, the nomi nee added, he understands what has happened to his pay check with the "multiplicity of deduc tions and multiplicity of hidden taxes." RIOT IN PALERMO Rome, Oct. 20 (U.R) Nine teen persons were killed and more than 100 wounded in a riot at Palermo, Sicily, describ ed officially as touched off by a "seditious manifestation," It was announced today.
