OC&E Strike
Settlement
Hopes Dim
SIUIU hopes were expressed here
last nw ht that the Oregon. Califor
nia and Eastern railway would be
bark In operation by Monday, but
the hope were fading fast today.
The eo-mile Klamath ralls-to-Bly
road ha been Idled by a strike of
conductor for Ji day.
At "present the nation's only two
railway tieupa caused by strike ac
tion of operating employee are that
of the OC&E and the much larger
Missouri Pacific In the Midwest.
Federal Jurisdiction
O. W. Lange. representing the Or
der of Railway Conductor, aald last
night th national mediation board
had taken Jurisdiction In the OCAE
strike, had assigned a mediator who
probably will be In Klamath Falls
next week to try to bring the rail
road management and the employ
es together.
The mediation board aked that
the worker go back on their Jobs
while mediation Is In progress.
Lange said last night he had wired
Orrat Northern otticial in St. Paul
to see If th road would let the
employes go back to work with no
disruption of seniority and no dis
crimination. But at noon today no answer had
been received.
Deadlock
The OCA-E. Jointly owned by
Greet Northern and Southern Pacif
ic. I under management of ON
now. I. E. Manlon. of Seattle,
general manager of ON for this
area, serve a president of OC&E
He spent five days her recently In
conferences with the union but the
negotiations ended In a deadlock.
Lange said It he received word
that th road was willing 10 Mart
traffic again with all workers rein--stated,
lie would ask th striking
worker to rota on whether they
wanted to go bark to work.
If the vote was affirmative, the
OC&E could be rolling Monday.
New Negotlatlona
But If no action Is taken by ON,
the strike probably will still be on
when a mediator arrives. Lange
said W. P. Mitchell Jr. ot Long
Beach, one of the national media
tion board mediator, probably
will conduct th negotiation here.
The strike Involves six points of
friction between the train worker
and management and Lange said
that In discussions with Manlon sev
eral of the points had been com
promised tentatively. But on anoth
er point, concerning rate of pay
for certain types of work, the dead
lock arose. 1

Famed Berlin
Airlift Ends
Aid Service
BERLIN. Oct. 1 'i It was Up
for the Berlin airlift last night.
The last plane of the lift, a
U. S. air force C-&4. carried news
rorre-pondent and coal from
Pran.furt to Berlin. A band played
and the Templehof commander,
MaJ. Oen. John K. Bsrr. hauled
out the last sack of coal In the
plane.
That was the last act In the 15
month life of the airlift. During
thoe It months the American
ind the British made more than
375 000 flight over the Russian
uiockade Into Berlin, carrying
more than 3.300 .000 tons Into the
beleaguered city. The air lift suc
cess forced the Russians finally to
back down and lift their blockade.
Record Breaker
To the end the operation was a
record breaker. It had been
planned to end October 31, but
airmen kept flying In the food and
supplies at such a rate that the
last plane arrived yesterday, a
month ahead of schedule.
In closing down the air lift, both
the Americana and the British said
they would maintain training
squadron In Oermany. Representa
tives of both nation ald they
could start the aerial supply tgatn
rapidly should It become neces-ssry.

The status quo meaning that

The Beatty lockup, owned by the
county but used primarily for the

sold over a year ago for $51.50. a
transaction the extent of which did
not come out until about 10 days
ago.
Lot Not Vacant
Mr. Ethel Casey of Beatty was
the buyer. Ostensibly the bought
county-owned vacant lot but In ac
tuality the lot wasn't vacant. On It
was situated the one-story concrete
Jail structure.
The real character of the sale was
learned when Mrs. Casey presented

So the county, sighting that an
embarrassing mistake had been
made, took the obvious route of cor
rection by mailing Mrs. Casey a re
fund of the purcna.se price, $51.60.
Check Refused
Now the check has been returned
to the county, uncashed and with a
note from Mrs. Casey saying she in
tended to come In and talk the busi

But In the meantime the district
