PAGE TWO THE NEWS AND THE HERALD. KLAMATH FALI.S. OREGON Mny 7, ll)4t SECOND STRIKE AT PLY PLANT SOONJETTLEO (Continued from Pago One) charges against Kalpine which were filed with the National Labor Relations board some time ago, claiming the company ' refused to bargain on proof of a CIO majority. The Kalpine plant on March 4 was closed down by a CIO strike which prevented opera tions for four weeks. On April 1 work was again started when approximately 40 men, some of whom were said to be mem bers of the AFL, . walked through CIO picket lines. On April 22, the CIO withdrew their pickets and called oil ine strike. ChargM Pending The company on April 2 of fered to recognize the CIO as holding a majority of workers "until legal means proved other wise' and sporadic meetings were held from that date be tween the CIO and Kalpine. Still pending before the labor board are unfair labor practice charges filed by both unions claiming the firm refused to bargain on alleged proof of majorities held by each. Boyd said Wednesday the AFL would withdraw its charges. Also before the NLRB is a comnany petition for a board' sponsored election to determine which union holds a majority. Meanwhile two more Klamath district lumber mills announced five cent horizontal wage in creases to all employes, follow. ing the lead of four large mills Tuesday. The sprawling Lamm Lumber company mill at Modoc roini - and the Klamath Long-Bell plant both revealed their in creases would be retroactive to May 1, as were the other boosts. Pelican Bay Lumber company Wednesday posted notices to em ployes that the firm was plan ning a wage change to corres- pond with the average wage pre - vailing in the basin and that the new scale would be effective as of May 1. Chiloquin Lumber company at Chiloquin and the Shaw Lum ber company were still working on wage revisions. It was under- stood that the Ivory Pine cora ' pany was working a 48-hour week, thereby paying time and one-half for eight hours which would bring Ivory's scale con siderably above the old 63 cent ORE TONITE Cfli-OM BITiVRn .S HIOHWAV 07 SOUTH CIGARETTES LOW PRICES At Everbody's CAMELS CHESTERS LUCKIES OLD GOLDS RALEIGHS KOOLS SPUDS minimum. Executives of several other mills were out of town but it was presumed the wage .in crease would soon be general for all lumber firms. Joe Boyd, of the AFL, stated Wednesday the union looks on the pay boosts as merely an ap peasement to employes and con tends that the workers should be consulted on every wage revis ion, either up or down. An arbitrary change robs men of their self-respect, Boyd said. GLEE CLUB TO BID Klamath's Business and Pro fessional Women's Glee club, winner of last year's state glee club contest and also winner in 1938, will make another bid at the state BPW convention in Portland May 16, 17 and 18. Headed by Flo Ann Eaton, re tiring president of the local club, a large group of Klamath wo men will go to the convention. Three local women are state of ficers. They are: Ruth Bathiany, state finance chairman; Isabel le Brixner, second vice president, and Dena Backes, southern Ore gon district chairman. Official delegates from here are Lillie Darby, E 1 e a n o r a Weatherford, Nedra Hunt, Hilda Park, Claudia Lorenz, Lela Laurcnson. Alternates are Mar tha McCollum, May Conradi, Dena Backes, Leta Beers, Willie Uhlig and Claire Ellis. Miss Darby, supervisor of mu sic in the city schools, directs the glee club which has made an outstanding success at the conventions. Eleanora Weatherford is new president of the Klamath BPW group. (Continued from Pace One) Philadelphia, Baltimore, and Kansas City under an agreement permitting their freedom after deportation orders were com pleted but could not be executed for lack of machinery. The department also said that 125 Italian seamen were taken from Ellis Island last night to Fort Missoula, Mont., to be held in an army camp taken over there for detention of aliens. House Passes Ship Transfer Defense Bill (Continued from Page One) present emergency ended before that date. T h t maritime commission would be given authority to pur chase or charter foreign-owned ships a power it does not now have. At the last minute, the house approved provisions to permit the government to waive any ex isting laws relating to masters. officers and crew and crew quarters. Two attempts were made and were defeated to make certain that those sections would not lead to changes In wages, hours and working con. ditions that might be detrimental to labor. While the legislation still was before the house reconditioning of 28 axis ships found damaged when taken into custody contin ued apace. At the present, the United States has 20,000 planes other than airline craft. CARTON PACKAGE J13 HIDT CRITICISM II LEADER HEARD (Continued from Page One) Denis Prit and Dr. Arthur Sal ter, a laborite. As the prime minister made his way out of the crowded chamber after the vote, groups of members collected around him and cheered him enthusi astically. He paused and bowed. No Retirement The prime minister pro claimed, too, a halt to the Brit ish retreat in the Mediterranean basin with the flat declaration: "We intend to defend to the death and without thought of retirement Crete and Tobruk." It is on Crete, big island to the south of the Greek main land, that the British and Greeks are making their final stand as allies; it is in Tobruk, Libya, 80 miles from the Egyp tian border, that a British gar rison is holding out behind the axis advanced lines. Strong Points Confidentially, Churchill de clared, "We have every reason to believe we shall be (success ful" in holding the valley of the Nile, Suez and the mid-Mediterranean island bastion of Malta. With a touch of acrimony, Churchill declared that Lloyd George's speech was not "par ticularly helpful at this period and not the speich one would have expected from a great war leader." The prime minister disclosed that General Sir Archibald Wa veil, British middle east com mander, "has under his orders at the present moment nearly half a million men." Churchill said he has "re ceived assurances of the con struction of merchant ships by the United States which, added to our own large program of new building and repair, should see us through 1942." After Lloyd George criticized Foreign Secretary Anthony Eden for withholding the fact "that Turkey allowed German ships to pass through Bosporus into the Dardanelles" to seize Greek islands, Churchill said "Turkey not being a belligerent had no right to prevent mer PLAYS TODAY and THURS.

"So far as German invasion of the Balkans Is concerned," Churchill told the house, "we had long and ample forewarn ing of what was in prospect. It is three mouths sincu it Was stated publicly on the broad cast that the Bulgarian airfields were being occupied with the knowledge of the Bulgarian government by advance parties and agents of the German en force." Iraq Revolt Churchill told the house "we need a great deal moro help from the United States and I expect we shall get it." "It might bo that the Ger mans will arrive in Iraq .before we have crushed the ruvolt, in which case our task would be greater," Churchill warned, "or it might be that the revolt went off in half cock in consequence of our landing troops at Basra. "We intend to assist the Iraquis to get rid of their mili tary dictator as soon as possible." More Tanks Churchill met former War Secretary Leslie Hore-Bclisha's criticism of production with this assertion: "We are making every month now -as many heavy tanks as there existed in the British army at the time Mr. Hore-Bcllsha left the war office and we shall very soon, before the end of this year, be producing double that. "This takes no account o( the immense production on foot in the United States." Churchill defended Eden's reticence about British dealings with Spain and Russia, assert ing: "I am not sure how these things that could be said about Spain could be touched on in a way which would be helpful to our affairs. Much might be said about Russia but I am not quite sure that we should gain any advantage by saying it and I am not quite certain we should receive any thanks from the Russian soviet government." He declared, likewise, that he saw no possible profit in dilat ing "at length upon the sad, sorry and squalid tale of what is going on at Vichy." Churchill appeared restive under Lloyd George's prodding. The little, white-haired Welsh man lacked his old fire and his voice sometimes faded to in audible whispers but he turned on the heat in demanding a "real cabinet."

REPEL iO FORCE (Continued from Tage One) yet appeared in Iraq and it was difficult to see how they could arrive in time for effective as sistance. Oil Recovered (It was authoritatively report ed in London that 26 Iraq of ficers and 408 men had been taken prisoners in action while Iraq casualties so far totaled about 1000). Besides breaking tho Iraqis' encircling front at Habbaniyah on the fifth day of siege, the British reported they had wrest ed control of the vital Mosul- Haifa oil pipeline from the troops of Koshid All Al Gailani.
