last night of Secretary of Labor

Chinas Active
Chinese representatives were
making frienas among the dele
Kates from other nations and
Pao Hua-kuo, former director of
the bureau of social affairs of
the Chungking municipality and
government delegate, revealed
China's objective in the confer
ence. "We are seeking race equality
for Chinese seamen," he told
newsmen. "There is no reason
why the Chinese should not get
equal pay and the same living
accommodations as other sea
men." Pao expressed the hope that
the conference would support the
Chinese' demands.
Regarding the proposal, which
shapes up as the conference's
hottest issue, the question of an
international wage minimum for
able seamen, Pao said he would
support the proposal "in princi
pal." Today's conference session will
be confined to the selection of
committees, although indications
were that the credentials com
mittee, which will hear any pro
tst against the seating of dele
gates, may not be chosen until
later.
The conference in a brief ses
sion late yesterday elected three
vice presidents, George R.
Strauss, United Kingdom, for the
government group, Emile Deck
ers, Belgium, for the employ
ers and Eugene Ehlers, France,
for the workers.

The Legion Story
of the
Klamath Buckaroo Days
Rodeo Controversy
In order to correct several misunderstandings and misrepresentations, Klam
ath Post No. 8, American Legion would like to take this opportunity to present its
side of the Buckaroo Days controversy, and submit a statement of true facts and
figures for the information of all concerned:
From 1936 through 1945, Klamath Buckaroo Days Association has spent
$3,039.71 for material and $1,25S.72 for labor at the Fair Grounds, which includes
building of bleachers, box seats, chutes, fences, etc. During this same period of
time the Association has spent $3,549.9(5 tor rent to the Klamath County Fair Board.
This makes a total of $7,84S.39 spent at the Fair Grounds. During that same per
iod of time the City Band'and other bands received $2,292.50. In 1937 and 1938 ,
the Drum Corps of Klamath Post No. 8, received $680.00. In 1942 the Troop En
tertainment Committee received $1,000.00, and in 1943, $3,326.13 was turned over
to the Commandos. In 1944 Klamath Post No. 8, American Legion received $2,
500.00 for a Veteran's Service Officer, which was invested in War Bonds, because
plans for a county wide Veterans Service Officer to aid all returning Veterans in
this area, did not materialize because the Government established the Veterans
Administration Office in this city. The Legion is holding this money for this pur
pose when the need arises. Nothing has been paid to the directors or the Legion
members who have worked for ten years free. The above dates and figures and
many others are open for public inspection by any authorized persons wishing to
do so.
It has been intimated that the Community Enterprise which motivated this com
mittee has not been followed of later years. We ask the public if after reading this
report whether the Legion has kept faith with the community. When the business
men and merchants of this city first asked the American Legion to put on a Rodeo
celebration whereby they would furnish the capital and the Legion furnish the man
power, was it done as a community project? The true answer Is that everybody
was leaving town and the community was dead over the 4th of July week, and in
sponsoring this rodeo, the merchants hoped to keep its citizens at home and also
draw outside trade for their own business interests, as well as providing enter
tainment for their community, and securing relief from the yearly donation for
a 4th of July Celebration. The Buckaroo Days committee has worked long and
hard during this last 10 years to help furnish this community with a good rodeo-'
celebration during the July 4th week, and not one of iU directors, who must be
members of the American Legion, has ever received any remuneration 'whatso
ever for his services. The rank and file of the Legion has also worked hard these
past 10 years, without any remuneration whatsoever, except for the Minouncer and
announcing system.
It has also been intimated that a few of the merchants who donated funds
to sponsor the rodeo in the early days are not satisfied with the way the money
has been spent and that they should be reimbursed for this contribution which was
about the amount they donated yearly for a 4th of July Celebration prior to the
Buckaroo Days, and if it were not for the Buckaroo Days he would contribute
this amount each year. The American Legion would like to have the names of any
merchants or business men who feel they have not received full value. It is also
rumored up and down Main Street that the Buckaroo Days has some $12,000.00
cash in reserve. With the exception of a fewJhundred dollars in the General Fund
used for operating expenses, what reserve fund they have is in War Bonds and
like any sound responsible business, is held in reserve as a sinking fund in case of an
amergency due to bad weather or other cause beyond our control. One bad year
rould entirely wipe out this reserve and the merchants would have to put up an
other guarantee fund if they wanted the present rodeo to continue.
To ran a rodeo takes a world of time.skill and manpower throughout the year
as well as at Rodeo time. If the Legion were paid at present prices for the services
which they now donate, it would represent $6,500.00 this year. I3 it fair to say
that the Legion is running this show only for itself when it is donating $6,500.00
a year to the Community Service in this one activity alone? The American Legion
has always been and still is willing to cooperate to the fullest extent in continu
ing their interest and service in the Community Welfare, and we think it is unfair
that criticism has been made of our president and directors of the Buckaroo Days
Association until both sides of the story have been heard and the facts checked.
