Weekend
THIS true story is told of a couple of youngsters who had
saved some money the boy to go to the Oregon
Oregori State football game at Eugene, the girl to buy a
bicycle she had wanted a long time.
They listened to a radio broadcast in which a speaker
urged that everybody use every spare cent in the purchase
of defense bonds and stamps, because the government
needed the money. They had begun to think about giving
up the game and the bicycle, when the next program
started.
,It told of the launching of a ship. The champagne for
the christening was costly stuff, and the woman who broke
the champagne bottle got a present worth several hundred
dollars. Other unnecessary costs were listed and the broad
cast went on to tell how many defense ships were to be
launched and how the total ceremonial costs would run
over a million dollars. The youngsters changed their minds
about how badly their money was needed for defense.
Regardless of who pays the launching bill, it might
be that a ship could slide down the ways with only clean
water splashed over its prow and the woman who breaks
the bottle could take the publicity without the gift. The
money thus saved would buy a lot of defense bonds.

t
?'Plow. under the state line" is the suggestion of the
Butte -Valley Star, Dorris newspaper which fails to get
favorably:excited over the proposed formation of the state
of Jefferson. The Dorris paper sees more logic, from Butte
Valley's standpoint, to eliminating the political boundary
between eastern Siskiyou and Klamath counties.
Those sections of eastern Siskiyou and northern Modoc
' counties which are in the same geographic and economic
unit with Klamath county would be welcome' additions to
the latter county. We are sure of that, and the proposal
has mdre practical sense to it than the objective of merely
getting a lot of publicity.
We have an interesting letter from the JAC club of
Mills school, which has for president, James Howard ; for
vice president, Donald Eittrein; for secretary, Mary Grif
fiths. Here is the letter:
Dear Editor: The Junior American Citizens club
J of Mills school pledge their full support to your
cleanup campaign. We have already started a cleanup
campaign on the grounds of Mills school.
The Junior American Citizens club is an active
citizenship club, sponsored by the DAR, and we are
very fortunate in having Mrs. Foster as our director.

Defense
Bond
Quiz ;
Q. What kind of Christmas
card is popular this year?
A. The kind that holds a stamp
album, in which the giver places
one or more defense savings
stamps.
Q. Should someone whose in
come is rather uncertain but
who wants to help national de
fense, buy defense savings bonds
when financially able?
A. Certainly. If occasion arises
when cash is needed, a Series E
bond can be redeemed after 60
days from the issue date.
Note To buy defense bonds
and stamps, go to the nearest
postoffice, bank, or savings and
loan association; or write to the
Treasurer of the United States,
Washington, D. C. Also stamps
are now on sale at retail stores.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 6 Not
all the railroad strike agree
ment was put on paper. Mr.
Roosevelt had to pay a heavy
price to avoid a walk out.
In his secret negotiations, he
round the unions demanding a
wage hike which would cost
around $800,000,000 a year. His
emergency board recommended
an increase of 7 1 per cent to cost
around $270,000,000. The unions
flatly told him they would not
take a small increase, arguing
that CIO organizers were al
ready burrowing into their
unions and would take advan
tage of their failure. They claim
ed the CIO has been getting
wage increases of .from 10 to
15 per cent.
When the 10 cents an hour in
crease was finally worked out
by Mr. Roosevelt, he called in
Chairman Joe Eastman of the
interstate commerce commission
and suggested freight rates be
increased somewhere around
$55,000,000 a year to pay part
of the costs. Eastman, however,
was non-committal, saying this
was a matter for the whole ICC.
The president also asked East
man to expedite consideration of
future freight rate increases, but
Eastman only promised to do
what he could about it.
The cost of the final settle
ment will run about $325,000,'
uuu, ana the tone of the nego
tiations broadly suggests that the
public will pay the whole bill
in increased rates sooner or
later.
This was ceriainly one occa
sion when the administration's
claim that wages have nothing
to do with prices was refuted
by its own action.
WHAT HAPPENED?
When the congressional
leaders strolled into the White
House the day after the house
passed the strong anti-strike bill,
Mr. Roosevelt lifted his eyes and
asked with some amazement:
"What in the world happened?"
It was easy to tell him. The
house became involved in a
peculiar parliamentary situation
whereby it had to take the
strong bill or nothing. Also the
congressmen were encouraged
to take the drastic bill principal
ly because the CIO and AFL
were against any legislation. The
common saying in the cloakroom
was "we might as well be hung
for sheep or goats." Of the 129
democrats voting for the bill,
luu were Irom southern states.
xne result was as much of a
shock to the congressional lead
ers as to -the president. The
morning of the vote, Speaker
Rayburn thought his house
would sidetrack the bill by send
ing it back to committee.
The senate will tone it down
slightly. Vs-.-J
' '
LAND MINES'- . ''.
Hitler's failures, around Mos
cow lately can be attributed to
the weather and the brilliant
Russian use of land mines. j
The weather has been the
worst In many years. Alternate
freezing, thawing, rain and
snow have caused the German
tanks to bog down. They have
started out in the mornine on
firm frozen ground only to run
into a thaw which creates muddy
footing for the rest of the day.
But even more troublesome to
the Germans is the vast net
work of land mines, the reds
have planted across the whole

UNION AND CLOSED SHOP
KLAMATH FALLS, Ore. (To
the Editor Under Mr. Shndle's
so-calU'd "union shop" the em
ploye. thoiiKh hired by the em
pinyer, is mrcea 10 neeonie
member of tho union and pay
extortion in the form of dues. If
he feels that he is bolng Imposoil
upon or if he dors not "no alonu
with the hoys," no mutter how
wisp nnd patriotic his action, he
is liable to expulsion nnd conse
quont loss of his Job, or to pun
ishment by devious methods. The
name union shop Is n subter
rune o the labor lenders who
know they had played tholr
closed-shop rnrket too far. They
painted their red clo.ied-.ihnp-
rncKei- norso while nnd called It
by another name, mnklng alluht
concessions in form that were no
permanent concessions at all.
And so we arc back ngnln on the
subject of tho closed shop which
only yesterday the Houso of Rep
resentatives by the Implicit sense
of the Smith bill recounted ns
an evil force, although they did
not go all the way in meeting the
issue.
The union or closed shop Is a
privntc army, an ormy because a
working man Is liable to tyran
nical discipline. If a member ap
peals to the press beeau.io the
leadership for reasons of Its own
agitates a demoralizing strike the
member Is dealt with summarily
or by more devious methods In
volving shop politics or even by
the Inst resort of the goon squad.
A private nnny that defies the
public weal as have both the
private and Inimical armies of
the CIO nnd AFI. is thus become
the public enemy, giving aid and
comfort to the national enemy.
Father Coughlin's treasonable
Christian Front" was a private
army. William Dudley Telley

us as much as have the private
armies of tho closed-shop labor
tyrants. There is no room In the
United States for private armies,
but there Is room for labor or
ganizations Hint conform to the
public welfnro and that can not
under tho law discriminate
against any loyal American citi
zen. Tho right of a man to work
for an employer of mutual choice
Is Inherent In the Declaration of
Independence nnd the Constitu
tion. His right to work must be
guaranteed by a stringent law
that will entirely forbid tho
union-closed shop and that .will,
as does the Smith Act, otherwise
regulate tho unions In the citi
zenship nnd loyally of tholr lead
ership nnd membership, In tholr
finances, their by-laws and their
methods.
Let Mr. Shuttle read Jan Val-
tin's "Out of the Night" to see
how Mr. Pnvolka'i incendiary
appeal for a "sympathy strike"
lo force tho unlon-closcd-shop at
need goes along In deadly paral
lel with the alms of the commun
ist who obtain union control by
rulo-or-ruin the - union methods
disregarding the welfare of the
loyal men nnd tholr Innocent
families whom they are Inciting
to hardship. Unfortunately, un
der our prosent lax laws those
who agitate such strife though
they mnko themselves suspect by
their actions cannot be enjoined
and nre free to threaten our na
tional security.
Yours truly,
