I Jeffersonian Troubles
R EBELLION and counter-rebellion seethes in the Oregon-
IV California border country, while the death of Seces-
lionist Leader Gilbert E. Gable leaves the mythical state
tt Jefferson without its provisional governor and lead
ing spirit
'! ' This newspaper has received two anonymous missives
. through the mail from parties opposed to the so-called
49th. state movement. One of the messages is signed "Anti
Jefferson Committee" and the other, "Northern Counties
Anti-Jefferson Committee." No names are attached. Pur
port of the statements is that the majority of the citizens
of the ireka countrj' are opposed to ' rebellious action
which has been inspired by disgruntled politicians. An
other development indicating the Jeffersonians are hav
ing their troubles was the action of Modoc county super
visors in refusing to join up with the new 49 ers and
reaffirming allegiance to California.
But not all is bad news in the Jefferson camp. Ac
cording to the Yreka papers, a photographer and a re
porter for two prominent national magazines have been
in the Yreka district "covering" the 49th state movement.
If the Dictures and story are printed, that will be pub
licity and that is obviously the principal immediate ob
jective of the new 49 ers.
Know Your Seals
n EPORTED offered for sale here in the past few day:
.. ix have been small Christmas greeting seals, similar in
size to the anta-tuberculosis Christmas seals, ihey nav
nothing on them to indicate their money-raising purpose
, or their sponsor. They are sold at 1 cent each, like tne
tuberculosis seals. At least one man has reported he
bought these seals believing he was contributing to the
cause of the National Tuberculosis association and the
Klamath County Public Health association.
-si-There is nothing to prevent the sale of any kind of
seal.' But offering these seals in this form at Christmas
tune hints, at least, of an effort to "move in on the long
established and highly worthy anti-tuberculosis seal pro
gram.
It is suggested that people who buy Christmas seals
with the purpose of contributing to the fight against
tuberculosis make sure the seals they obtain bear the
pictures of the lighthouse and the double-barred cross
.which are on each seal of the National Tuberculosis asso
ciation.
Indians Buy Bonds
k i EMBERS of the Klamath Indian tribe, who have
IVI bought generously of defense bonds, deserve the
warm commendation of every patriot in the community.
The Klamath Indians get a lot of unfavorable publicity,
not all of it justified from the standpoint of 'the tribe as
a whole. Here is favorable publicity of outstanding
nature. '
Superintendent B. G. Courtright tells us that 440 In
dians bought $226,500 worth of defense bonds. There
are about 1400 Indians men, women and "children on
the reservation. The percentage of bond buyers is re
markably high, and certainly goes down as a matter of
great credit to our friends on the reservation.
Their white neighbors may well consider their patriotic
action as something to emulate.
A mix-up over the name of Jones stopped Klamath
county's legal machinery for a day. It was another case
of having trouble keeping up with the Joneses.
Tacoma Students Grin As
Strike Closes 38 Schools
TACOMA, Dec. 3 VP) Seven
teen thousand school children of
38 public schools began a forced
vacation Tuesday because of a
strike by Janitors, furnace and
maintenance men.
Several thousand pupils re
mained at home, but others who
went to class were being sent'
horns during the cold, rainy
morning as rooms got colder. No
fires were reported in school
house furnaces.
Students were jubilant with
the early Christmas vacation.
At some schools, hundreds of
students found doors locked.
With big grins on their faces,
they banged on the doors and
shouted to be allowed to go in
and study. Others milled around
adjoining playgrounds in high
vacation spirits.
No immediate settlement of
. the strike was foreseen by either
the school board, city officials or
the strikes.
The school board said about
75 men of the AFL-engineers'
union were on strike. Ray Moi.
Bio, AFL-Tacoma building and
trades council official, said the
union was demanding 'a 20 per
cent Increase in pay. Teachers
recently received restoration of
their pay to pre-depression lev
els and all city workers, includ
ing policemen, have received In
creases this year.
The strikers contended their
pay was still at the depression
level and varied from $75 to
1193 monthly.
Thestrlko affected two high
schools, six junior high schools
and 30 elementary schools.
Conferences during the past
month between the school board
and the union ended without any
progress leading to an agree
ment. The school board said it was
without .funds with which to
raise the men's pay. The sal
ary raise would have to be met
by additional taxes which in turn
would have to be approved by
tne voters at the polls next
March.

SIDE GLANCES
WASHINGTON, Dec. 3 (UP)
President Roosevelt announced
today railroad workers will re
ceive pay increases totaling al
most $300,000,000 a year under
the settlement of the prolonged
wage dispute which had threat
ened a nation-wide railroad
strike. .
Here are the terms of the set-
tlement, which will be effective
until December 31, 1942:
l. An Increase of 9 i cents an
hour, or 76 cents per day in the
caslc wage rate, for the 350.000
members of the "Big Five" op
erating unions. The big five orig
inally demanded a flat 30 per
cent raise.
2. An increase of 10 cents an
hour, or 80 cents in the basic
daily wage, for the 865,000 mem
bers of the 14 non-ODeratine
brotherhoods and emnloves of
the Railway Express agency.
Their original demand was for
a 30 cent an hour increase.
3. Paid vacations for cooDerat-
ing workers as follows: Six davs
for those who work "substantial
ly throughout the year;" nine
days for employes In clerk and
telegraphers classifications of
two years service: and 12 davs
for those of three years service
or over.
4. A moratorium by both la-
bor and management on de
mands for further rules changes
auring the emergency.
3. wages for workers durins
the period between September 1
and December 1, when the dis
pute was being arbitrated, shall
be paid on the basis of the
board's original recommenda
tions of a 71 per cent increase
for operating workers and 131
per cent for non-operators.
s. All wage increases shall be
basic. The original recommenda
tions, which the workers reject
ed, specified only temporary in
creases.
Mr. Roosevelt said he was as
sured by Morse the agreement
would avert the strike. The
board suggested that, upon ex
piration of the settlement, the
wage structure of the industry
be reviewed "in the light of the
then existing economic condi
tions of the industry and of the
country."
