"This is no ordinary battle. It is a fight for your existence and you will win it." Meany accused railroad management of trying to "turn back the clock 50-years -or even a century by elimi nating the fruits of collective bargaining that have been so hard fought for and . have proved so successful." Rail Demands The railroads recently de manded that the railway workers accept a pay cut and sought to eliminate firemen from freight and yard loco motives, a move' the union said would cost 35,000 jobs. Railway management, Mea ny said, has enlisted the help of "Madison Avenue adver tisers, half awake writers" who have made "a science of deceit" by misrepresenting the facts in the labor manage ment dispute. "Hitler did it," Meany said, "just like Stalin did and Khrushchev is .dong now." Tearing Down Character Meany said that through a well-financed publicity cam paign the nation's railroad executives are trying to "tear down the character of the American railroad workers in the eye of the public by des cribing them as feather bedders." Sen. Wayne Morse (D-Ore.) told the group that an all out fight against trade union progress was being waged by anti- union forces across the country.

The board also reported that Oregon has reached an all-time high in influenza cases with the .1959 total standing at 52,622 cases. Some 462 new cases were re ported last week.

Management Accused Morse accused railroad management of ignoring the Railway Labor Act in trying to reach agreement. "It is the best labor law on the books but management has ' refused any efforts to reach agreement by rules of the act that have been, used successfully for years,", he said. m Ml lissssssMM In i m ssssslssssssssssssssssf " i" i"sssssssssss1 sssssMssssssslssssf ltssiMiisssfcMvV!--!

The ordinance, which mak es city law conform with re cent state legislation, was passed 6 to 2, with Council man Robert Van Sickle and Donald Hansen voting.no. Van Sickle said he voted no because he believed such an ordinance may be -an infringe ment on the rights of the in dividual, and that such an or dinance would be almost im possible to enforce. Public hearings were held on two 'requests . for zone changes, but action was de ferred until - after a joint meeting of the council and planning commission at which the requests will be consider ed.. One was on a request to change from Class IA, single family, to Class IV, limited light industrial, property on Biddle rd. north of the Med ford Shopping Center.. The other was on a - request to change from Class IA,: single family, to'. Class II, multiple family, for property on Cra ter Lake ave. between Main and Jtfckson sts. Ronald L. Ricketts, Med ford lawyer, spoke on behalf of those who petitioned for the change on Biddle rd. He said they plan to develop the area, and would construct a building to house the firms which must vacate their pres ent property soon. " -SeveraL persons : appeared,. both in favor and in opposi tion, to the change to multiple family zone on Crater Lake ave. Dr. Bernard T. Thompson, 26 Crater Lake ave., said the change, if approved, would invite development of an area which seems to be declining. He said there is now some multiple family use in . the area involved. Professional Offices Dr. Thompson said profes sional offices probably would be developed in the area if it is changed. Dr. Fred Lorish, 830 Min nesota ave., opposed the change, saying that he believ ed there is sufficient proper ty available for professional office development. He also said that if the property is changed to multiple family, it would leave an island of sin gle family residences, which probably would be changed in the near future. He said Tie does not feel that properties in the area, proposed for change are declining. Both the requests were de nied by the planning commis sion at public hearings. The commisison felt that while the Biddle rd. property is indicated on the land use plan as industrial with condi tional uses to be approved by the commission, the group felt that their studies had not progressed to the extent that conditional uses could be de fined. - The commission denied the request for the Crater Lake ave. change because it is in the 'process of developing a new multiple family zoning oridance,; but had not at the time completed its studies. . A public hearing'on paving an alley between Central ave. and Front st. from Ninth to Tenth sts. was terminated af ter two persons withdrew their names from the original petition seeking improve ment. Their' withdrawals dropped the number of peti tion signers to less than 50 per cent of the property own ers, and therefore could , not be accepted as an official peti tion., V; : '. v . Those who withdrew, their names : said they did so be cause the estimated price was too high. When they original ly signed the petition, they said, the estimated price was quoted as lower and within reason. . --. - the THERMADOR TVINS I HEAT YOUR ,lgA C,' I COLO VYAUS-r I f AT COLO ' WXgSL V . , FlRSrAND KEEP HIS ffy HEAT FROM PILING I THERMADOR B A f fBA A nn It.-, wa.
