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. Cordon Bill Approved
The Council went on record
approving Senator Cordon's bill
to restore the O&C grant lands
and the Coos Bay wagon road
grant lands to regular mining lo
cation filing and title as prevails
under terms and conditions of
the U. 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.
A majority vote approved a
resolution to petition the Oregon
legislature to amend the mining
laws of the state to compel all
mining operations on so-called
agricultural lands that these
lands be restored by replacing
and leveling them to a cultiva
table condition; and also that
non-cultivatable lands be leveled
so as to remove hazards.

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.
The theory of the order, spe
cial service officers said, was
that American troops stationed
in Paris shouldn't get any en
tertainment facilities not avail
able to their companions at the
front.

POSTWAR JOB KEY,
Reno, Nev., Oct. 20 (U.F
Private enterprise and a phil
osophy of production were list
ed today by Gov. John W.
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. Nine
Italian soldiers were wounded
in an exchange of gunfire when
they tried to break up the demonstration.
