THE NEWS AND THE HERALD. KLAMATH FALLS. OREGON April 8. Irt-if PAGE TWO F 0 D STRIKE OUTLOOK HELD ENCOURAGING (Continued from Pise One) out the nation have closed be i cause of the itoppage at the ' huge plant. Coat Program At New York representatives of 100,000 Pennsylvania hard coal miners formally submitted to the operators their program, Including demands for pay " creases and paid vacations. The present contract expires April 30. The anthracite operators re sponded with a proposal to ex tend the present agreement "with only slight modifications." They issued a statement propos ing that no changes be made which would result in increased costs as a price increase "will gravely Imperil present markets and employment. Deadlock While soft coal wage nego tiations remained in a deadlock, the Carnegie-Illinois Steel cor poration at Pittsburgh said a , shortage of Beehive coke, caus ed by the coal shutdown, had forced the banking of a blast furnace. At Aluminum Company of America plants at Cleveland CIO "work stoppages" slowed pro duction. Alex Balint, organizer for the CIO Die Casters union, estimated one-third of the 7900 employes were taking part. He accused the company of "stall' lng" on settlement of wage de mands. Parking Meters , Believed Doomed; Swim Plan Eyed (Continued from Page One) free use of the pool for IS years. The group needs $10,000, and it is hoped 100 member , ships In the swimming pool will be sold. Mayor Houston said one membership has been sold al ready. The recreation committee has an additional $11,000 in sight, it was pointed out, and If the balance can be raised by the membership drive the pool can be constructed. Memberships can be bought for four monthly payments of 23 each. The plan was accepted by the council. Information on the swimming pool membership may be ob tained at the office of The Her ald and News. The staff will be glad to assist in receiving mem berships for the recreation com mittee. Licensing of Juke boxes nickel music machines was dis cussed and a suggestion was en tertained that a fee of $400 be placed on each distributor, al lowing 20 machines to each with an additional $10 for each box over 20. The only exception to this rule would be a license of oooo ARE YOU SEEING ONLY PART OF The great majority of beer retail estab lishments are clean wholesome places. Yet it Is the once-in-a- while excep tionthe anti-social, law- violatmgta vera . that everybody notices. Such undesirable retailers give beer a bad name k doesn't deserve. Farther more, by arousing public indignation, retailing abuses endanger your right to enjoy good beer, the beverage of moder ation. They also endanger the benefits that beer has brought to Oregon 13,238 persons employed since re-legal BEER.. .a beverage of moderation Above are 10 Start dtpartmtnt htadi who will tach take a during "Employees Stll-a-Brahun" which ttartt thit wttk.

He said he had 10 machines and that he would not be able to continue business if he had to pay $400. He said he would be willing to pay $200 for the right to operate 20 machines, however. Lewis knew of only one man in the city who had 20 machines. Another man who said he operates three juke boxes protested the plan would create a monopoly. No action was taken by the council in the matter, the pro posal being held over until next week. Mayor Houston appointed De- Los Mills as a member of the airport committee. Mills, who lives in the Pine Grove district, was appointed inasmuch as the city and county are cooperating in the airport program, the mayor said, and pointed out the need for an out-of-town mem ber. Man Bound Over on Burglary Charge Leo Joseph Kent was bound over to the grand jury Tuesday by Justice of the Peace Joseph A. Mahoney on a charge of burg lary not in a dwelling. Kent is accused of breaking into the Klamath Machine and Locomotive Works property and stealing a quantity of brass. He was held in lieu of $1000 bond. Truck Line Reports Theft of Tools Theft of a box of tools from the platform of the Bend-Portland Trucking company was re ported to city police Tuesday by T. W. Laird. Laird said the tools were missing from the platform Sunday. No vagrants appeared before Police Judge Leigh Ackerman Tuesday but he heard two drunks and 17 traffic violators. Facts That Concern Yu ization, an annual payroll of $11,541,550 and $617,020.86 taxes paid last year. While it is the brewers' responsibility to brew good beer and the retailers' responsibility to sell it under wholesome conditions, nevertheless the brewing in dustry wants anti-social retailing elimi nated entirely. You can help us by (l) patronizing only the legal and reputable places where beer is sold and (2) by reporting any law violations you may observe to the duly constituted law enforcement authorities.

' Water dUrnCienr; yi . i "esrern rea Wry (Continued from Page One) ahead of last year and irriga tion is starting correspondingly early. Crop land soil moisture is good as a whole though winds have caused surface drying. The Gerber reservoir will store about 257.000 acre feet this year and the Clear lake about 62.420, insuring two years' sup ply. Mtdford and Rogue Rlvtrt Fish lake and Four-Mile lake which supply water for this re gion will store a total of only about 10,500 acre feet, which is only 65 per cent of last year and only 50 per cent of the av erage requirements. Some flood water is being used now but it is not expected to last longer than April 20 on the east side and May 1 on the west side. Water conservation measures including early plowing of cov er crops in orchards are advised All water from reservoirs will be pro-rated this season with es timates now running at from 8 to 9 inches per acre total to be allowed. Flow from the reser voirs will probably last only five to six weeks, which means no water after the middle of July if withdrawal can be delayed un til June 1. The season Is advanced two weeks at least which probably will advance harvest correspond' ingly. Soil moisture is not as good as last year. The water shortage is expected to be worse than for any year since 1931. Talent District: The Hyatt Prairie and Emigrant Gap reser voirs will store a total of about 14.500 acre feet, or about 80 per cent of last year. Average needs are 16.200 acre feet, but with conservation methods and pro rated supply no orchard is ex pected to suffer before harvest Flood water irrigation started in March. The Wagner gap canal may shut down the last week in June, No, 26 of a Serin THE PICTURE? Kennell-Ellls turn at managing tht big ttort or a week or so earlier than last year. Grants Past: Low flow of the Rogue at Ray-Gold dam for Ju ly, August and September is es timated at 95 per cent of last year. Alternating supplies will probably go into effect about Ju ly 25, but no serious shortage is foreseen. The Applegatc river is expect ed to run about 95 per cent of last year and be short in Aug ust. The Little Applegatc will run correspondingly but will be short in July. Umpquai Poorest snow sup .ply in years was reported from the headwaters of the Umpqua and its chief tributaries. Low flow of tributaries used for ir rigation will be the shortest for any year since 1931. The same applies to lower tributaries of the Rogue. The Illinois river, like the Ap plegate, will run about 95 per cent of last year's flow. Range conditions in the Rogue River forest are reported fair with about average prospects The high range between Klam ath Falls and Lakeview is better than last year though the low range in that region is badly dried at the surface by recent winds and needs rain.

Thit ward appeared to be comparatively dry, but someone made tho mistake of trying the toilet equipment. Water imme diately overflowed and spread over the floor. Tho Indian girl got up from her corner and resignedly climbed to tho upper story of tho double-decker bed. Tho trustees' ward was found to be better lighted and dryer than the other Jail departments, but the stench was present there, also. It followed the vis itors Into the main holl above. "Sanitation begins at home," paraphrased Mayor Houston In calling tho matter to tho atten tion of the council. "The au thority of the city Is hardly In a position to demand its citizens maintain proper sanitation when there Is a condition like that in our own basement. I'm serving notice right now that something must be done." It is understood there Is a plan under consideration for enlarging the Jail quarters In the basement, possibly moving the city engineer from base ment offices to quarters above the garage. Plumbing equip ment in the Jail will be worked over. For some time there has been talk of the possibility of a Joint city-county Jail, but officials of both Jurisdictions have Ignored the suggestion.
