Tourists-1938 and 1939
TOURISTS business in Oregon wasn't too good this year.
The Oregon Motorist estimates the drop as 12 per
cent below 1937. Hotels reported an average drop of
18 per cent in business, while motor courts were down 6
per cent. Non-resident permits, the only official measur
ing stick, showed an 8.2 per cent slump.
Numerous reasons are offered, the most popular being
that there was a general uneasiness in the national
economic situation resulting in restricted vacations. We
incline to put emphasis on the probability that large num
bers of people were spending less on vacation this year
in anticipation of traveling next year to the world fair
at San Francisco, or the world fair at New York.
Tourist business for 1938 is water over the dam now,
and what interests the people of Oregon is the prospect
for 1939. Business Week, a magazine, estimates 4,000,
000 out-of-state visitors will go to California next year,
primarily attracted by Treasure Island. Some 2,000,000
of the visitors will go to Portland and. Seattle. From
these visitors who go by the northwest to the fair, or
turn north after visiting Treasure Island, Klamath should
get a generous share of tourist business. Much depends
upon to what extent we, and our representative agencies,
are on our toes.
Labor Bill Problems
ELSEWHERE on this page is a thoughtful discussion of
the labor bill from a correspondent who believes the
measure will surround labor unions with unjust restric
tions and give employers a whip hand in any dispute with
labor. The letter was inspired by an editorial questioning
the strategy of labor's rushing full tilt against the meas
ure passed by a heavy majority of the voters at the gen
eral election.
We do not believe that those who made passage of
this bill possible were anti-labor in their sentiments, and
the correspondent apparently agrees with that view. A
majority of people are fair and just, and they will not
stand for any abuses and unjust attacks upon labor
through the medium of this popularly approved measure.
That is why we have held the opinion that instead
of raging against the whole measure, labor leadership
would gain public confidence by coming forward, soberly
and without anger, suggesting possible defects and in
justices in the measure and proposing its amendment
to eliminate these features. It at least is worth trying.
Looking at the situation from the strategic standpoint, it
seems possible that if labor groups succeeded in throwing
out the entire measure, another would receive popular
support.
These score cards for husbands, wives, and sweet
hearts that are becoming so popular can make for no
little amount of uneasiness in the family circle. If you
notice your wife giving you a particularly thoughtful or
penetrating look, it a good guess she's rating you.
The duck season will soon be over and father can
resume having breakfast with the family.
The Family Doctor
By DR. MORRIS FISHBEIN
Edltor, Journal of the American
Medical Association, and of
Hygeia, the Health Magazine
DUKING the first week of Au
gust, 1938, an outbreak of
encephalitis or Inflammation of
the brain occurred in southeast
ern Massachusetts and in Rhode
Island and caused tbe death of
more than 200 horses.
In the second week of August
a young girl. 12 years old, came
to a hospital in Brockton, Mass.,
with an attack of inflammation of
tbe brain, and 17 days later a
boy, 13 years old, from the same
city developed a similar condition.
Eventually more than 30 cases of
. inflammation of the brain oc
curred among human beings In
this territory. All of these pa
tients had lived in the area in
which the horseB were stricken.
In this same period of time a
number of such cases were seen
in North Dakota and In Minneso
ta also associated with an epi
demic of inflammation of the
brain among horses.
It will be remembered that
there was a great epidemic of this
condition in the region of St.
Louis, Mo., In 1034. Now comes
evidence that this particular form
of inflammation of the brain is a
condition which occurs in the
horse and which can be trans
ferred to tho human being either
by direct contact with the horse
or perltnps by an intermediary of
tho typo of the mosquito.
In the outbreak which occurred
In Massachusetts the virus which
can cause this form of Inflamma
tion In the brain in horses was
Isolated from the brains of the
children who died. Tbls virus
was then Injected by way of tho
nose into mice and its definite in
fectious character established. In
vestigators at the Rockefeller in
stitute have confirmed all of the
investigations made in other parts
of the country in this regard. The
virus which causes this form of
Inflammation of the brain was
found to bo highly Infectious fur

Moreover, this virus may be
passed through one generation of
animals after another.
Additional studies which have
been made indicate that it is pos
sible by inoculation of rabbits to
prepare a serum which is capable
of destroying or inhibiting the
virus of this form of encephalitis.
Studies are also now being made
to determine whether or not It is
possible to prepare a vaccine
which will protect animals and
men against tbls exceedingly vic
ious type of infection.
It is also Important to deter
mine exactly how the infection is
spread from horses to men and
whether or not field mice or do
mestic mice may serve as car
riers of the disease. In this way
animal experimentation is proving
to be of the greatest benefit not
only for the protection of man
kind against a serious and fatal
disorder, but also to protect the
horse, which Is one of the great
friends of mankind and also sub
ject to this serious infection,

TO7ASHINQT0N. Nov. 11 Some
" hue 'and cry is being raised
as to why this Anglo-American
trade agreement It as good as
advertised was held back until
after election. Two answers are
available.
The official version holds the
British responsible. Their shrewd
traders thought tho new dealers
wanted to complete tho agree
ment in time for political usage
and tried to squeete concessions
out against that time limit. U. 8.
dlckerers, they say, had to wait
in order to get what they were
willing to take.
But unofficially you can ascer
tain that tbe treaty was highly
doubtful election medicine for Dr.
Farley's purposes. It might have
been received well, but mildly,
in the wheat belt; not so well
and not at all mildly. In the tex
tile and manufacturing centers.
ONE-THIRD CUT
Mr. Hull, tho great tariff re
maker, has now hacked down
about one-third ot the old Smoot
Hawley tariff law.
No official figures are being
given out. but you can figure it
fairly accurately this way. Our
tariff collections In 1930 amount
ed to about 47 per cent of the
value of goods Imported (count
ing only the dutiable list, of
course). Last year, after the
state secretary bad made 18 tar
iff agreements, our collections
were 37.8 per cent of the value
of the goods.
So the first 18 ot his blows at
the wall reduced its average
height by 9.3 points, or say,
roughly, one-fifth.
Effect ot the British agree
ment will not bo evident until
next year, but the best experts
expect It to reduce collections to
about 31 per cent, a total reduc
tion ot roughly one-third from
tho old tariff altitude.
TIMING
No one is ordinarily Inclined
to become analytical over an in
ternational flag-raising Ilka this
one. Few bystanders customari
ly finger tbe bunting to learn
whether It la silk. But now the
bands are ceasing to play, you
are apt to hear authoritatively
that new trade to be expected is
not soon likely to approximate
the cheers, In volume.
What pleased officials here
most was the timing ot the event
to give It historical, diplomatic
significance. Union of the two
great world trader and tho two
great democracies (under the
Washington rating system) was
what struck them as more Im
portant than the commercial pos
sibilities Involved.
In cool reasoning they know
it will have more political than
economic benefits. For instance,
tbe most important early result
is likely to come from abandon
ing restrictions on grain trans
shipments rather than from the
widely heralded reduction of tbe
t per cent British wheat tariff.
The trans-shipment rearrange
ment may encourage our milling
and shipping business, while
there seems to be little chance
that we will be able to take ad
vantage of the wheat tariff re
duction until some year when
British dominions are unable to
supply British demand. Then wo
might bo able to regain a sub
stantial British market.
NO MEASURE
The deficit side Is cloudy, too.
The probable effect on estab
lished American Industries can
not be learned in Washington.
For Instance, English overcoats
and novelty spot suits bore a
tariff tax of 59 and 60 per cent
before, now will enjoy a tax ot
39 and 45 per cent respectively.
The question Is whether this will
reduce the price of English goods
sufficiently to cause more Amerl-
anS-,to bujr ,nem Instead of
American goods.
The state department an
nouncement virtually sal'd it
would not. But you may be
sure the British announcement In
London told the opposite story.
it is customary for both sides
to expect no losses of business
mt ?r.r?m conlons they
make in their own tariffs but to
predict great gains from conces
sions in the other fellow's tariff.
The recent announcements ex
ceeded the custom In this re
spect but furnished no worth
while measure whatever of re
sults. Candid offstage, opinion, Is both
sides will just about hold their

Telling the
Editor
Allot T I, AHOlt Mil. I,
Klamath Falls. On. (To the
ICdltor): I would llko to answer
your editorial "Tho People Spoke,"
In Wednesday's paper. You say,
"We do not bellove the public In
tended In pausing Ihfl hill, to de
prlvo labor ot any of lis Just privi
leges." Hut tho bill as It Simula
docs deprive luhur ot a great many
ot Its Just privileges. No ouo Is
more anxious to sea the abuses,
racketeering and goon violence
dnno away with (linn tho legiti
mate Inhor oi'KiinWullons. This
bill offers no remedy for these
abuses. Thn case of Al Hnsser and
others 'participating In labor vio
lence shows that Oregon has laws
to take cure ot Just such ciiios.
Your editorial shows how little
Is ti interallied about what this hill
will really do, and had thn peoplo
got what they thought they were
voting for, the labor unions would
not offer complaint.
You suggest thnt the unions do
not protPHt the rnnslllutlonnllty
ot this hill, hut rather let it be
held as a big stick over the head
ot labor. Any time the employers
wish to lower wages or living con
ditions they have the antl-plcket-Ing
bill to whip labor Into line.
It Is the destruction ot labor unions
we are objecting to, nut any legis
lation that will protect the people
from unfair labor practices.
Why not put theso same re
strictions on the employer? Ho
has been guilty of labor violence
more often thau the employe and
he Is organized Just as strongly
Take the Associated Farmers for
Instance, Kith their huge war
cheats used to fight labor. Is that
a legitimate requirement?
This bill refuses to class as labor
dlspulo 'any controversy between
groups of employes. One of tho
troubles all unions have at such
times, especially with large em
ployers such as we have In the
lumber Industry, Is that the em
ployer culls In another union, or
organizes a company union to dis
credit the bona fide union. Then,
according to tbls bill, It Is no
longer a labor dispute.
Read this bill carefully and you
will find that it Is unlawful to
strike at any time. For examplo:
"It sbsll be unlawful, to ob
struct, or prevent, or attempt to
obstruct or prevent, tbe lawful
buying, soiling, transporting, re
ceiving, delivering, manufacturing,
harvesting, processing, handling,
or marketing of any agricultural
OR OTHER PRODUCT." "It shall
also bo unlawful to prevent, hin
der or molest any person from
seeking to engugo or engaging his
services to any person, firm, cor
poratlon or association desiring to
employ him." Strike breakors and
scabs must not be molested by
any group wishing to protest un
fair or unjust conditions. Tho
framers of this bill are putting
the will ot the Individual above
the welfaro of tho community.
And for fear there might stilt
bo some loophole, section 4 Is
added. This makes It unlawful to
picket or patrol, or post pickets or
patrols, on or near the premises
or property owned, occupied, con
trolled, or used by an employer or
employers unless there Is a bona
fldo cilstlng lobor dispute How
simple it is for an employer to
change a labor dispute Into a
jurisdictional dispute. So no moro
pickets, no moro labor troubles
for Oregon. Instead we can ex
pect lower wages, poorer working
conditions, and a gradual dissolu
tion of organized labor. Labor has
won Its rights the hard way, now
It will have to protect them the
bard way.
