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.

Notes From The Pocket File
EMPLOYMENT may be due for shrinking, but
the "help wanted", section of our classified
advertising department is still doing big busi
ness . . . 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" . . . Hunt Clark, Salem news-
paper man who officiated at a lot of football
games here last fall, thinks Klamath kids are
tops in courtesy and good sportsmanship . . .
"They never made us a bit of trouble even in
the most tense situations," he told this writer
in Salem this week . . . Gus Melhase, the
Klamath old-timer who was lost for a few days
but fortunately was located in the Little De
schutes country, was one of the first "auto
mobile owners in Klamath county , . . Dr.
Soule has brought us a picture of Gus in the
high-wheeled jaloppy that was a grand sight
in these parts early in the present centurv . . .

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?

foronco of theso MacKEMZIE
two extremes of the eastern
hemisphere is that the explosions
In the Orient easily may be more
violent, aitnougn more sun arc
the makings in more than one of
Europo's trouble-spots.
Chlnsie Clash
Specifically; The dangerous
feud between Generalissimo
Chiang Kai-Shek's Chungking
government and the great body
of northern Chinese communists
Is reported to have burst Into
flame In one spot, when regular
forces clashed with Chinese com
munist troops In Shansl province.
meantime irom roKyo came a
stream of broadcast. carrying
the implication of Internal un
rest. Tho Japanese government
oven tnformcd MacArthur that
It would be necessary for the
presont to keep armed Jap
forces both In Japan and on the
continent to maintain order.
Those are tho facts, but thev
don't Warrant us In Jumping to
sweeping conclusions. Develop
ments alone will toll tho story.
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. That's. of far greater
importance to the peace of the
world than is a civil war, or
half a dozen of them. We can't
repeat too often that internation
al peace depends on unity of the
Big Three.
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. However, let's rec
ognize at once that some of the
crises both In Eurone and in the
Orient are potentially explosive.
Red Influence

uaiKans. Lost Saturday. U. a.
Secretary of State Byrnes noti
fied tne Bulgarian government
that the United States considered
It didn't fully represent the
people of Bulgaria. Yesterday
British Foreign Secretary Bevln
told the houso of commons that
Britain won't recognize the gov
ernment ot Bulgaria, Romania
and Hungary at present because
tncy "do not in our view repre
sent the majority of tho people,
and the impression we get from
recent developments Is that one
kind of totalitarianism is being
replaced by another." Bcvin
didn't mention communism spe
cifically, but the Implication was
there.
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.
