Dean Morse Succeeds
SETTLEMENT of the railroad wage dispute that for a
time threatened to tie up the country's rail transpor
tation system is to the credit of all who had a part in it
It is unnecessary to point out the terrific blow to the
country's whole defense effort at a critical time that would
have resulted from a failure to adjust the problem by
orderly procedure. Without work stoppage or violence,
a settlement was made that gives a considerable increase
to railroad workers but is less of a financial strain on
the carriers than the original demand of the unions would
have effected.
Oregon people should take pride in the fact that Wayne
h. Morse, dean of the University of Oregon law school,
had an important part in ironing out this serious problem.
Dean Morse, who has won a national reputation in the
field of labor arbitration and mediation, was chairman
of the president's emergency board which announced the
terms averting the trouble.
' , . TrlO TT.ll iron O T?rriefr fn a in 1!eiiieein rr V aan Mnwo'e
work in this and other connections, points out:
; Dean Morse has done a great deal to point the way to
ward ultimate solution of most labor disputes by his in
sistence on a procedure patterned after that of our ordinary
courts of law, modified only to permit the inclusion of evi-
JHluicuk IUi UgUlUCUlS. Alt Mil I I tt I 1 S,
the American citizen turns by habit and custom to the courts
,. of law, instead of to club or gun or other 'measures of self-
: willed violence. For years, we have contended that labor
'r disputes will cease to be public issues when there is some
r system of courts to which employer or employed can turn
' with guarantees of fair hearing and a common measure of
; justice. Morse, with his legal training, has done much to
establish our first "body of law" from which in time may
r -. come effective industrial courts.
f Of course, the adjustment of a wage dispute is entirely
f different from the adjudication and administration of a labor
f contract.' Morse has done much to make people understand
r this distinction. In passing on a labor contract, the only
question for the arbiter or judge is what is specified in that
i. contract It is his duty to make each party live up to the
'" signed articles. The wage dispute is more like the civil suit
,'. for damages in which the court seeks to establish the fact so
r. that the jury can render intelligent judgment.
v? The success of Dean Morse in the handling of labor
disputes has been repeatedly recognized with the result
,that increasing burdens of this nature have been placed
;on his shoulders.;. The leadership of the Oregon dean and
men of his calibre is needed in working out the whole
'problem of labor strife that is disturbing the country's
economic" structure to the point of extreme" danger in a
critical time.-

The Editor) Once more I would
like to write a letter In
column on the subiert which Mr
McCartney tries so hard to carry
on, but at the same time avoids
ana sidetracks questions that
are openly asked him.
He stated in his last letter that
I changed the subject away from
the demanded closed hon in an
other state. I presume that he is
minking of California, and of the
City Of Weed. I. in mv lottar nt
November 18, did not mention
the closed shop as it is not an
issue in this controversy. Why,
because our union brothers in
Weed are not ask ine for a rlnwri
shop, they are simply asking for
a union shoD. Now If Mr in.
Cartney will take the timo and
the patience to stop and consider
Doin ine closed shop and the
union shop, he will find that
there is a vast difference. And 1
let me state here, that I, like
the rest of the AF of L members
In this basin, firmly and sincere
ly believe in the union shop, the
simple reason we do believe in
it is, that in a union shon. we
the laborers, have a hoitar
chance to single out and get rid

rest, such as the communiitic
conspirators that Mr Mrf-artnov
inmKS are heading our union
Now, as far as a sympathy
sirute Deine called evidsntlv Mr
McCartney doesn't read the
papers as thoroughly as he
should, for I definitely know
that an article anrjoared in the
News-Herald (and I believe It
was in the edition of November
luinj. stating that each individ
ual local had the power and
would have to have a vote on the
subject. Now don't misunder
stand me. we are 100 per cent
for thp striking local of Weed.

And if it does call for a more
drastic action being taken on the

and will still give them our

In his latest letter Mr. McCart
ney also mentions the Bloffs and
Scalisces. Harry Bridges. Phillip
Murray and John L. Lewis. For
anyone preying on human lives
and worklnemcns' pocketbooks.
I have but contempt. Harry
Bridges is a proven communist,
he has been sfrlnnEd of hl tro

But, Mr. McCartnev Ho vn r,.

He also states that the Lum

and racketeers, but again he evi- j
dently forgets something name- :

FLEET LOCKED IN
The war-like movements of
the American-Japanese diplo
matic corps have been watrheri
here with half amusement and
half fear. The side line observers
had no doubt both Japan and
the U. S. desired to avoid war
and were covertly handling their
open commitments (Japan to
Hitler and U. S. lo China and
Britain) with a certain degree
of clumsiness. The Japanese, for
instance, brandished far and
wide the rumor that their fleet
was nnproachlnn the const of
Australia last Wednesday. If
their forciEn Office was eorreel
at that time, and war was their
intention, they certainly must
have failed to inform their naw
department. To leave their fleet
loose in the vicinity of Australia
would be disastrous if the Hrit
ish closed in from Singapore
ana the Americans from Manila
(incidentally the hosl mfonna.
tlon was that the Japanese fleet
was locked in its home harbors
behind submarine nets and de
stroyer screening, safe and
sound.)
The only danger was that
both had overplayed their
hands. The stress, everyone fear
ed, might have led both sides
into excessive dlnlomaev u-hlrh
might result in a war that hoth
feared most.
