Aaaoclated Preaa Today's Roundup By MALCOLM EPLEY THE strike situation in the Klamath area has boiled down to one fundamental issue the union shop. mr ...l.i nffloinlc Vinvr. Hoelnrerl fhflt there will be no return to work unless union shop provisions are grwnea in um CIO contracts with the struck lumber companies. Management has given r.o indication ot intention to agree to such a provision, and there the whole matter is stalemated. It is impossible for anyone interested in the welfare of labor, business and industry in the Klamath region to look MmnliMnHv nn thin situation. which has reared its unpleas- EPLEY ant head at a time when management and labor face the test of working out their problems cooperatively under peace-time conditions. What It Means UNION shop means that the employes of the company must belong to the union when they are employed," or must join within a specified time usually 21 days. - It differs from closed shop in that under the latter arrangement, employes must belong before they are hired. Closed shop virtually amounts to union hiring. Maintenance of membership, the provision that is already in the contracts, provides that anyone who is, or becomes, a member of the union must maintain that membership to hold ' his job. It does not require, however, that a worker must join the union to obtain or hold a job. Incidentally, it was a statement to that effect,' , added to a bulletin that explained maintenance of membership provisions, that aroused a CIO complaint in the Weyerhaeuser case. The unionists claimed it violated the spirit of main tenance of membership - provisions, whereas . Weyerhaeuser officials declared they merely stated : a fact which employes had a right to know. : Union shop has not been a part of the CIO contracts of the companies involved -in the -, strike. situation here.. . ,. ,', .- . J , -e .';;"- -i Arguments FAMILIAR arguments we have heard in the union shop issue are generally these: Affirmative That it strengthens the union as' a collective bargaining agent, and that it forces all of . those who benefit from the union pro gram to contribute their share to its support. It is also sometimes contended that union shop, by stabilizing the . union, - contributes to the .'; stability of the industry, i Negative That it violates the principle of individual freedom by forcing a person to be long to a union to hold a' job. In this con nection, some people agree that union or -Closed shop may be justified in the skilled trades where acquisition of skill and experience are part of the union program, but riot In other " classes of labor. It is sometimes contended by . union shop opponents that unions should be strong and attractive enough in their own rights to win voluntary membership, without union shop requiring workers to join. These, as we have said, are the arguments we have heard most often. Those with sincere comments or additions to make are welcome to send them to us, and we will present them in a spirit of fair discussion. ....

Top executives of local retail houses seem to be making mid-August their vacation time this year . . . We tried to call several to day and got the form reply, "Mr. is on his vacation" . . .

Mr. CHARGES INVESTIGATED SEATTLE, Aug. 21 (P) King county authorities investigated last night charges made by two men held in connection with the death of . Walter Bernard Foley Jr., whose bullet-riddled body was found on a lonely road near here last Week, that one of them was hired by a third man to kill Mrs. Gladys Pauline Bailey, 39.

Classified Ads Bring Results. THOUGHT - Tuetdif. Aug. 21. 1I4S the best reporter of International new secondary role (his speeches give more hews) told parliament the U. S. "at the minute stands at the summit of the world." He added that in power and responsibility it would take two or three years before our great progress is Overtaken. Yet since peace, all you radio every hour on the hour are about how many unemployed and Mr, Truman has summoned primarily to raise the unemploy ment compensation level from $20 to J25 a week and extend the allowances from 20 to 26 weeks. There are some who see a connection between the cries that the wolves are at our door, and the program to push up the unemployment allowance which congress had steadfastly re sisted for many months. In fact the connection Is so closely joined, In their eyes, that the common prophesies of defeat for tho Truman Idea and the CIO demands which would go further are being softly amended. Word be ing passed around now, the Truman measure will surely be adopted ana me ciu may pry additional concessions. a a e "Wolf, Wolf" Purpose master of the propaganda arts, I which become more mystifying to me as new techniques develop, but 1 do recall many past occasions, in recent years, when the cry of "wolf, wolf" was raised solely for the purpose of shearing the sheep wnue me pudiic was loos ing for the wolf. In this Darticular case, I note that tax re duction is a subject further down the list. Indeed, no program for that phase of postwar adjustment was worked up in advance by the administration, although some anonymous mem bers of congress were being quoted on the back pages of the papers that the normal tax will be cut from 6 to 3 per cent. Also I have heard some rather good authorities suggest the taxes our people are paying are greater than the war expenditures of all the other nations in the world in short, our people are paying more than all other nations were putting out in the war. This cannot be precisely proved or disproved, because what Russia spends is not even known to her own people, but I believe it to. be substantially true. In any case, everyone now Is paying taxes, or should be, most people through the nose by the withholding arrangement, yet no compar able interest in their behalf is noticeable. You never hear anyone crying: "Wolf the tax collector." No Clear Picture NOT only that but you never even get a straight-forward picture of the unemploy ment situation. No one has gone on the radio at any hour I have been on, to say that 80 per cent of the unemployed are already au thorized to get. the maximum of $20 a week, but an. expert figured out the fact, and the congressional experts say It is about right. The states, of course, are flushed (possibly $6,000, 000,000) with big unemployment reserves from war taxes, as in New York,, for instance, where the unemployment sales tax' was kept on before and throughout the war although there was no unemployment,. When need for the tax passed, the tax was not repealed. Perhaps I am expect ing too much, to think that any politician would . wolf up a tax reduction program. But why is this? There are more taxpayers than any other class. . Nor do I hear anything about the existing, greatest non-mllltary spending program ever conceived in the mind of man. Congress has appropriated $1,500,000,000 for flood control works and $500,000,000 a year for highways, a fact you will never find in a CIO leaflet promoting increased free compensation. The GI bill of rights is supposed to dispense be tween $3,000,000,000 and $4,000,000,000 in com pensations within two years, with allowances to pay the way of many boys through two years schooling, but there is no advertising on that. .... $pend-Lend Total I THOUGHT I had a rather gool column Aug. 6 showing the unadded total of our foreign spend-lend program was $15,700,000,000 includ ing lend-lease, export-import bank, Bretton Woods, army relief and UNRRA, but that fact is still otherwise unadvertised. No one else added it and no one has ever referred to it as a foreign lend-spend program. In connection with this current story, it must be considered an unemployment relief measure. . Now add on the domestic end, $2,000,000,000 for public works, $3,500,000,000 for GI and $6, 000,000,000 in the state unemployment compen sation funds and you have $11,500,000,000 more, or a grand total planned expenditure of more than $27,000,000,000 (billions). Why Roosevelt in his palmiest free spending days never spent one-third of that amount in his budgets. In short, the proposed relief spending is more than three times the amounts with which Mr. Roosevelt shocked the world of economics a few years ago. The taxpayers, of course, will pay it all, .... Subject Omitted IS this why the present-day politician never mentions the subject most affecting prac tically all the people in their pocketbooks and breadbaskets and why their publicity men do not add up and announce what they are spend ing and proposing to spend, but let the wolf cry run such deep wails as to deafen the public against all other considerations except the reported presence of the wolf? - The chances of marriage for American girls are best In rural areas and improve as one pro ceeds from east to west.

I "IU cruising speed is pretty slow, I guess, but I'll for this as my bomber from now onl" 5E Building is definitely on the upgrade in ' Klamath Falls, Judge Harold Frauey stated to day. He predicts much In creased activity In private build ing now that priorities are off most building materials, and re strictions are off most items, particularly labor. " , Some materials, especially lumber, are still scarce, Francy pointed out, and will deter build ing to some extent for a while. He advised tnat 1142 city lots are still available for purchase in Klamath Falls, to which the city holds insurable titles, en abling lots to be sold and deeded to purchasers at the same time. Buildings to be erected in the fire zone downtown must be con structed of masonry, although frame constructions are permis sible outside of the zone.

Big Three Test The point which we can stress legitimately Is that relations among the Big Three Russia, Britain and America may be jut to the acid test by these polit cal difficulties in the Orient and. in Europe.

This trio doesn't always see eye to eye In the matter of handling tho political Droblems. That's natural and nothing to worry about unduly so long as the disagreements are kept well In hand.

That Is only one phase of the situation In which the whole eastern hemisphere Is swinging left." mis poses two Diunt questions: Can we expect Rus sia not to look with approval at this swing? By the same token, can we expect Britain and Amer ica always to look with approval at extreme tendencies? I think the answer to both these questions is in the negative.
