B;C; Logger Strike Perils
Newspapers, Hits Fishing
VICTORIA, B. C, May 17 (IP)
A logger's strike which took
37.000 workers off the Job In
Britiih Columbia yesterday
threatened to clow milli pro
ducing newsprint for many large
United Statei newspapers with
in a month and curtail fishing
operations.
Spokesmen at the Powell
River Paper company In Van
couver would say only that the
strike "ultimately" would affect
production, but other sources
said the pulp mills had about
three weeks' supply of logs on
hand. The province produces
about 1000 tons of newsprint
dally.
Idleness for 10,000 in the fish
ing industry was in prospect un
less orders for 3,300,000 boxes
could be filled. Labor leaders
said the strike was the opening
gun in a general drive for wage
increases and predicted that 80,
000 would be out of work in a
week or 10 days.
The International Woodwork
ers of America (CIO) originally
demanded a wage boost of 25
cents an hour and went on
strike when their offer to cut
that to IB cents was refused.
Operators had offered 12a cents.
Ciie length of the work week
and other considerations also
were in dispute.
An effort to compel medi
ation under wartime labor laws
was made by Chief Justice Gor
don Sloan of the British Colum
bia supreme court, who recom
mended such action to the labor
ministry in Ottawa.
Historians Get
Trail Name Row
PORTLAND, May 17 (IF) The
state highway commission
opened bids on eight projects to
day and referred a controversy
over the name of a pioneer route
to tne uregon Historical society.
Low bids received included:
Klamath county construction
of two concrete bridges on The
Dalles-California highway near
Chiloquin. Angelo A. Doveri,
jviamain tans, S4a,au.3u.
The commission referred a
protest of the Klamath Histor
ical society against the marking
of an old southern Oregon emi
grant route as "Applegate Trail"
to an Oregon Historical society
committee lor study. The Klam
ath group contends there is no
historical basis for the "Apple-
gate designation, while Jos
ephine and Jackson county
groups favor It.

At City Polls

heat of pamphlets, advertising
and radio talks yesterday, neither
candidate expects anything but
a light vote.
By mid-morning only 18 vot
ers 16 republicans and two
democrats had presented them
selves at the First Presbyterian
church, polling place of precinct
6, and only 17, including 16 re
publicans and one democrat, had
voted in the courthouse base
ment, polls for precinct 8.
At the noon hour precinct 4
reported 27 republicans and 16
democrats and precinct 27 had
11 republicans and 4 democrats.
Other polling places reported
about the same volume of busi
ness and generally republicans
are out-voting democrats. There
are no contested democratic can
didacies locally and only one
republican party race.
The polls will be open until
8 p. m. and after closing time re
turns will be broadcast over
KFLW as toon as received.

Albanian Plea
(Continued from Page One)
the Albanian application was
the only one awaiting action,
said the United States would
do everything in its power to
see that every applicant was
given the fullest consideration.
Albania is sponsored by Yu
goslavia, not a member of the
security council, and is spon
sored by Russia and Poland.
Britain has opposed the Alban
ian application but the British
delegate did not speak on the
point today.

W7ATCH India in the news.
' Something BIG is possibly
in the making there.
A BRITISH commission, com
Dosed of three cabinet mem
bers, is apparently offering IN
DEPENDENCE to India on a sil
ver platter. They seem to
MEAN BUSINESS.
This British cabinet mission is
proposing for India a federal
union, somewhat on the pattern
of our federal government, but
with this difference: In between
the federal congress for the
whole country (such as our con
gress in Washington) and the
provincial bodies (such as our
state legislatures) there is to be
a REGIONAL legislature (as if
Oregon. Washington and Cali
fornia should join in a legislative
body representing all three
states.)
The idea back of this regional
innovation is to provide protec
tion for the Moslems, who are
in the minority in India, against
the Hindus, who are strongly in
the majority.
IF all of this should come to
pass if independence should
be dumped in India's lap it
would represent a magnificent
gamble -on the part of Britain's
present (labor) government.

O'Connor Plant
To Be Rebuilt
(Continued from Page One)
or It might be two, before he
could get material and labor to
put his plant back in operation
but it was his intention to re
build. All stock, now on range
in California, will be fattened
there and shipped elsewhere for
finishing, probably in the Sue
ramento valley.
Origin of the blase, which ap
parently started in a feeding
shod across from the tallow
plant operated by Johnson Pack
ing company at about 1:45 p. m
was still undetermined. O'Con
nor said. It was discovered first
by James Young, Johnson em
ploye, who said yesterday that
when he first noticed the fire
it had progressed almost 100
feet. Young said he and another
Johnson worker, Vernon Rentle,
a utility man employed at the
tallow plant, grabbed a hose and
tried to put out the fire but to
no avail. They then called for
help but a brisk wind blowing
to the south fanned the flames
and they spread into the huge
sheds which covered hundreds
of tons of hay.
Cattle On Rang
The warehouse where the fire
started was not occupied. O'Con
nor said the shed was used to
feed lambs for finishing and last
winter he fed over 6000, winter
before last, 11.000. Connecting
to this shed is another in which
O'Connor fed 500 cattle last win
ter. They are now on range.
Lost in the flames were 30
head of hogs and one steer which
was awaiting slaughter. Some
400 tons of hay in two separate
sheds, and one big pile of straw
used for bedding and estimated
at 100 tons, were also burned.
The hay came from O'Connor's
Spring Lake ranch and this
year's crop will have to be han
dled in some way. the owner
said, and would probably ne
cessitate building at least one

huge shed. One of (he sheds
which burned was mure than
500 feet long by 100 feet wide,
it was metal covered and the
sheets buckled and twisted as
the terrific heat reached the
roofs.
In addition to the stock, hay
and buildings, O'Connor said
this morning that there was a
portable elevator operated by a
Ford car. which went up In
1 hnnes, along with other ele
vators, a quantity of sulphur,
oats, wuguns, big stock scales
and a large assortment of farm
equipment.
Two Buildings
Two buildings on the 120-acre
plant were saved from the
flumes which were carried nwav
from the structures by the wind.
These Included the big feed mill
of tile and sheet metul con
struction, and the grinder shed
where the hay is conveyed Into
the hammermill.
O'Connor suid he first saw the
smoke from his plant when lie
was aoout n miles south at
Lower Klamath lake where he
has a crew shearing sheep. He
was en route from Maxwell
north and thought he would
check on the shearing before
coming on to Klamath Falls.
O'Connor said that his original
thought was that the smoke
came from his home place at
Spring Lake and he hurried to
the plant to investigate. The
plant, in O'Connor's absence. Is
operated by his two sons, Dan
and Jackie, and bv his daughter
and her husband. Mary and Neal
Hurley. Insurance adjustors
were expected here Sunday to
adjust the loss. ,
Another loser in the fire was
A. H. Bussman of Murphey's
Seed store, who had 52 tons of
oat and grass hay in storage
space rented from O'Connor.
Bussman said he was partially
covered by insurance. Some
three weeks ago, Bussman ad
vised, he bought 17 carloads, or
about 340 tons, of hay from
O'Connor and this was shipped
to the Union stockyards at San
Francisco.
C. E. Johnson of Johnson
Packing company was fortunate
in saving the contents of his tal
low plant, close by the big feed
mill. The tallow plant is in a
fireproof structure and only ex
terior damage was done al
though late yesterday afternoon
Johnson said he thought the en
tire plant would be ruined. It
housed some $10,000 in hides
and $5000 to $6000 in tallow.
It is thought that Hooper
brothers, who had some pota
toes in bin storage, suffered
some loss but this has not been
ascertained. Loss would prob
ably bo from smoke and water.
Within 15 minutes of the time
the Southern Pacific received a
leporl on t lie fire, a fire train
made up of three water curs,
was disputched to tho feed plant
on the old Midland road. Using
the O'Connor siding, the train
crew of 12 men worked for
three hours. The men kept the
firo from doing additional duiu
ago and put out flumes which
spread to the other shin of the
tracks when sparks were blown
that way. Each of the three cars
curried 13,1)0(1 gallons of water,
all of which was used. About
300 feet of hose went Into play,
O'Connor today expressed ex
treme appreciation to the state
police, county (ire department,
the Southern Pnciflc, (ileal
Northern, Johnson and O'Con
nor employes and others who
gave aid during the fire.
The plant stood on the site of
the old Shaw-Bertram mill
which was later operated bv
Long-Bell and then sold to Wey
erhaeuser Timber company with
O'Connor acquiring the 120
acres during the latter transac
tion. In the .late summer of
1943, a similar fire swept the
area but did no dumage to
O'Connor holdings although It
burned a number of old mil)
buildings.
