Whatever one may think of ths coin-gobbling gadgets. It Is an irrefutable tact that there has been a tremendous Increase In available parking space In the metered streets since the Instal lation. At the same time, there is a noticeable Increase in parking on the non-metered streets adjoining the business district. mi v rha altuatinn? Vnu can nark now In almost any block as convenience dictates, butj It may cost you a few cents to do it. People can base their judgment on parfc'nc. meters on that situation. Election Ait, of which is a reminder that the parking meters were installed in Klamath Falls defin itely on the basis of a trial to be followed by a popular vote on the question of letting them remain asia permanent Installation. , , fbccastonally we hear skeptical comment with re spect to that election. There are people who think th city was using the election promise as , pure subterfuge never had any intention of, conducting a vote, and never will do It N- '' Y?e do not share that opinion of the city's pur pose, for we had something to do with the original suggestion of a trial and vote. 4 The city Is morally bound to. conduct an election at i which the parking meter - question will be up fo decision this summer. If any city officials harbor ant Ideas that the city can renege on that promise, they should discard them immediately. The city has no alternative. It must conduct that election. 4 o Briefs From The Pocket File FiROPERTY holders in the widened Pine street i section are to be congratulated on an excellent Irrtorovement to that part of the business district , j .

Afctually It did not Voting for the bill were 31 democrats, of whom 6 or 7 are considered likely to switch and support the president, if and when he vetoes. Only four switches would be necessary to reverse the result and as 6 or 7 are considered probable, the Issue actually lay In peril and doubt 'AFL's Bill Green has been yodellng Crescendo that the union reform bill will reduce workers to slavery while the stock market has been declining, mourning that It is too little, too late. iCertaln more or less objective lawyers, who have been over the accepted final provisions of both house and senate bills, do not believe these substantiate tie opinion of either side. They say the bill will amount to as much as the administration of it, no T. no less, reasonable, fair, legal administration of the V proposed law would give the unions about as even a chance at genuine collective bargaining as they need. Indeed this might prove to be a real break for the unions to evolve front .their mistakes which might have brought them to disaster, enabling them to escape serious consequences from the excesses which have plunged them Into publlo disfavor. This legislation may force them to do what they should have done for themselves, making their worst abuses difficult, and establishing a legal union responsibil ity which will require good leadership by the union bosses. That could happen. I On the other hand, a prejudiced union or em ployer administration of the law could make It either ineffective on one hand, or punltlvely anti labor on the other. ( Bargaining Question NO genuine bargaining right of labor is cur tailed, although some union advantages are subjected to federal administration. Calamitous na tional strikes are made subject to a 75 day Injunction, which would force a cooling-off period, forcing them to open public trial of the facts. This could be a blessing for the unions in disguise, as a few more national strikes like those of last year, would certainly force some worse restraints than the pro posed free trial in open court on the Injunction process. The unions would be required to make regular financial reports which AFL has been submitting to Its members and publlo anyway. CIO will have to do the same in the Interests of those who pay the money to It. Unfair labor practises must be paid for in court, if damages are established. Union responsibility for their contracts Is made subject to the federal courts. Certainly the unions cannot claim they must have unfair rights, must be able to damage business without liability In unjustified strikes or sltdown attacks, or be able to violate contracts at whim, while holding the employer to the same contract A properly run union does not need the right to be unfair while holding its adversary to fairness. It merely needs the same right as everyone else. ,. Similarly the closed shop Is barred, but the union shop is maintained when a simple majority of a j union want it The union shop is the closed shop, i It requires that an employee Join a union after he gets his Job Instead of before. Thus a simple ma jority of the union can force every employee to Join the union. Thus the closed shop actually Is not banned by this bill, but made democratically work able. On all fours with this Is the so-called ban of the checkoff which makes the companies collect union dues from all employees and turn these over to the union. The bill says this can be done only when the Individual employee requests It In writing. All the unions have to do Is to get their members to ask the checkoff, and if this Is done. It will not be banned. Employers may talk. The unions do not need the silence of employers to get their rights. Communist led unions would be denied the rights of the bill for collective bargaining. This should help the union leaders to clear their unions of communism, w hich is what they say they want but cannot themselves do. And so on. Up To Labor IN all consideration of the provisions accepted so far by both houses, you can see the unions gen erally should operate more effectively under this bill If they wish to. But if they wish to sabotage it with a national strike, or slowdowns, or question the fairness of courts, or merely supercede It by two-year contracts like Autos, Steel and the other big unions, they can do these things also. By their tactics, they will largely determine the nature their opposition will take. . If more than this legislation is : needed to protect the public and assure a good pro-' ductlve economy for the country, certainly agitation for stronger action will naturally eventuate. This possibility is what the market seems to' be gloomy about England Is now proving socialism is a gradual approach to no production at all. A union class government must naturally give increas ingly greater benefits to workers, reducing work and increasing pay constantly. England has already car ried this process to the point where she cannot pro duce enough of the only natural resource she has, to run her factories sufficiently to gain export bal ances and sustain a successful economy. But such tactics in the past have led to strong army govern ments which require enough work for satisfactory national production the socialism of totalitarianism in Russia which has not been especially successful In its continuous five-year plan and the socialism of Hitler and Mussolini. The poison proferred de termines the nature of the antidote. However, there is nothing in this situation, or In this bill so far, which a reasonable Judicial federal leadership could not cure In a democratic way, or to prevent genuine unionism from Improving Its bargaining position on a permanent basis.

Diamond Road Bids Delayed The bureau of public roads has not yet advertised for bids for the heavy 'surfacing of the Diamond Lake highway in Northern Klamath county, but Is waiting for congres sional action on road appropria tions, according to word from Port land.

Ostrander added that usually the farmers didn't accept money but Insisted on barter for. farm equip ment, supplies and services. How ever, It strikes mo that farmers who profit by selling to I ho blnrk market are no better than the deal ers who resell at Inflated prices.
