EIOWT WHltUHP (OMOON) MAIL TRIBUNS Friday, Juna 3, 1933 Creeping Economic Paralysis Grips (Britain as (Factories Closed by SHte Unemployment Grows as Railway Walkout Continues London (U.R) A creeping economic paralysis gripped Brit ain today with factories closing down and unemployment grow ing in a chain reaction to the nationwide strike by railroad workers. The strike by 70,000 engineers and firemen, now in its sixth day, forced six Welsh steel mills to halt production. Other fac tories cut working hours for lack of essential materials or because finished products could not be moved. Mediation Dafaatad An attempt by organized labor to mediate the dispute broke down in defeat Thursday night. A spokesman for the Trades Union Congress, parent body of Eritish unions, said "no progress has been made" in prolonged ne gotiation sessions with leaders of the striking Associated Socie ty of Locomotive Engineers and Firemen (ASLEE). Prime Minister Anthony Eden summoned his cabinet to an other emergency session to seek a way out of the stalemate. Peaca Committee Activa The cabinet held its first full meeting since last week's gen eral elections Thursday. At the same time a special "peace" com mittee from the TUC sought to reconsile the views of the ASL EF and the non-striking National Union Railwaymen (NUR). The unions differ over the ASLEF's demands for premium pay for its members. Immediately after the break down of the labor negotiations, the government called for new talks. The call was supported by the British Transport Commis sion which runs the nation's 50, 000 miles of nationalized rail ways. But both the government and the British Transport Commis sion are agreed that the strike must be ended as a prelude to fresh talks.

Use Mall Tribune Want Ada Changes in Laws Affecting Cities Talked at Meeting Changes in legislation affect-1 ing cities were discussed by rep resentatives of the League of Oregon Cities and more than 100 municipal officials of 11 South ern Oregon cities at a meeting at the Rogue Valley Country clubj last night. Following reports by Raymond C. Coulter, league attorney and field consultant, and A. M. West ling, Bureau of Municipal Re search and Service planning and public works consultant, the group discussed common munici pal development and problems facing communities. Coulter said the success of the league's programs in the legisla ture resulted from city officials voicing their opinions to legis lators. Changet Listed Among the recent changes, Coulter pointed out, was the cre ation of the state board of census, which will have the power of estimating population of cities as a basis for making allotments of highway and liquor funds. The city will have a right to appeal if it is not satisfied with the three-man board dedision, Coul ter said. Another amendment concern ing highways is that cities with a population of 1,000 or less will not have to file a street program plan for the ensuing year, as pre viously was required. Of importance to several cities. Coulter said, is a law now requiring public, hearings before the Oregon Highway commission before the commission can au thorize by-passing cities or CONSTRUCTION EQUIPMENT FOR RENT Motor Cranes Back Hoes Motor Graders Draglines Clamshells Shovel Fronts Crawler Type Tractors with Dozers 105 Air Compressor 315 Air Compressor Wagon Drill - Paving Breakers Jack Hammers MACHINE TRENCHING Gas Water Sewer - Drain Installation er Repair a g. liihiiger & sons MEDFORD, OREGON - PHONE 2-5336 or 2-5897 change of locations of highways. Committee Study An interim committee, which will include a member of the league, has been set up to study problems of city growth, espec ially in fringe areas, Coulter said. The committee has been al lotted $50,000 for the study and is to report to the next session of the legislature. Another interim committee, to which Senator Philip B. Lowry has been appointed, will study the state's taxes and financing as well as local financing. The com mittee will give cities an oppor tunity to inform legislators of financing problems in smaller cities. , Coulter said another allotment was made to the sewer bond re volving fund, through which the state purchases bonds issued by smaller cities. About $400,000 is available for this use, Coulter said. Act Classified Westling, explaining planning legislation changes, pointed, out that the county planning act has been clarified and corrected, making clear that building codes can be adopted by counties. The change was designed to help counties faced with city fringe area problems. Also discussed was the compre hensive sanitary sewer authority law, which allows a co-operative effort between cities and coun ties to cope with fringe area sani tary problems. Senator Lowry 'led the discussion. Among other topics discussed were minor changes in subdivis ion laws, and a recent court de cision that the 6 per cent limita tion does not apply to a new tax base. Coulter pointed out the latter was reheard earlier this week and a decision is expected soon. v Herman Kehrli, executive sec retary of the league and director of Bureau of Municipal Research and Service, was unable to attend last night's meeting. The meeting was the 14th such meeting in the state to acquaint municipal officials with recent changes in legislation.
