Photo by Parks Mayor Asks Levy Backing For Airport Improvement FORT ROCK Mayor Howard Goodnough was spokesman for a Lakevir-w delegation meeting with Fort Rock grangers recently.

The group anticipates meeting with all Lake County granges to tell their storv hefore the Novem' ber election. Tht airstrip was built by the government in 1942 and turned over to the city of Lakeview at the end of World War II. Repairs are essential for the con tinuation of the air field, Good nough pointed out. Further, word was received Friday that West Coast Airlines has approved plans for service into Lakevicw. Distributors Pled Gui PORTLAND I API Nine milk distributors Monday . admitted their guilt in court to a charge of conspiring to fix milk prices in the Portland area by pleading nolo contendere. U.S. District Judge William East, who permitted the firms to change their picas from innocent, said: "A nolo contendere plea ad mits guilt but cites extenuating circumstances. With that under standing I accept the new plea." Ho set Jan. 0 for sentencing. The nine defendants arc: Safe- way Stores, Inc.; Oregon Milk Distributors; Dairy Cooperative Assn.: Damascus Milk Co.; Ar- den Farms Co.; Fairvicw Farms; Farmers Dairy Assn.; Sunshine Dairy; and Sunnybrook Farms Milk and Ice Cream Co. Attorneys for the nine said the violations of the antitrust act were of a technical nature and that no one had been damaged by the uniform prices which went into clfect in 1U55. 1956 and 1957 after "somo conversations." Safeway Is a wholesaler which distributes milk to its retail stores. The Oregon Milk Distri butors Is a trade association. The other seven are distributors. The county is not served by any major bus line and rail passenger service was discontinued as long ago as 1935. The proposed levy of $15,000 per year for five years would boost taxes at the rate of (It) cents per $1000 property valuation, it was pointed out. Cost of repairs is es timated at around $46,000 with ad ditional funds to go for operation William Castle, Lakeview mana- ;er for West Coast Telephone Com pany, reported on the status of the proposed KTA financed service to the rort Rock - Silver Lake area. Company engineers have made a recent survey to deter mine the number of potential cus tomers in the area. They will pre sent the results of the study at a hearing soon, probably in the Fort Rock community. Public utilities Commissioner Howard Morgan ordered the area survey as a result of a February hearing at Lakeview when West Coast sought an RTA financed, loan for improvements and additions to currently served areas without in tent of serving Fort Rock and Sil ver Luke communities. l'lie Lakeview delegation includ ed Mr. and Mrs. Bob Weir, Mr. and Mrs. Don llotchkiss, Mr. and Mrs. Dewey Meredith, Air. and Mrs. Jay Sorseth, Mr. and Mrs. Goodnough and Mr. and Mrs. Castle.

Industry leaders and some state officials credit them with helping attract new industry and with forcing union officials to follow the dictates of rank-and-file members. In this connection, supporters of such laws have quoted some un ion leaders as saying that too much union security can cause union officials to become inatten tive to the views of their mem bers. Right-to-work laws, an election issue in 10 states this year, pro hibit union shop and other labor- management agreements which require workers to belong to un ions to hold their jobs. Voters in these states have been bombard ed with arguments pro and con In Iowa, td Storey, director of the State Development Commis sion, says the state's right-to-work law often figures in negotiations about the location of new in dustry. "It is brought up more often by owners of small businesses who feel unions tend io make their own operating costs somewhat higher," he said. "They feel they can't compete with companies who don't have unions. The ques tion of right-to-work isn't too im portant because Iowa doesn't try to sell on the basis of cheap labor. "The larger companies tend to want unions in their plants be cause of the stability of opera tion. "Most of our people like it, says Harry Linn, head of the Iowa Manufacturers Association. I have also Heard off the record that laborers like it. The law pro tects them because union leaders have to serve them to keep them as union members. But Iowa AFL-CIO President Ray Mills says the law "puts the unions which need protection the most out of business " He referred specifically to unions of restaurant workers and retail clerks. He said average weekly wages- in Iowa were $3 below the national iverage. In Indiana, Gov. Harold W. Handley, who let the right-to-work bill become law without his ignature last year, and Lt. Gov. Crawford Parker credit the law with being primarily responsible for 10 new companies locating monthly in that state. Dallas Sells, AFL-CIO president in Indiana, says a law governing labor relations should improve such relations but that the right- to-work law "apnears to divide rather than unify " He says labor will be at the door of the Indiana legislature in January to press for repeal. Gordon Preble, nresident of the Nebraska Federation of Labor, says he believes the Nebraska law has made strong unions stronger and weak unions weaker, even to the extent that some of the weaker ones are going out of business.. Donald E. Devries, director of the Associa'ed Industries of Ne braska, says the state has enjoyed good labor relations under the law and that unions have continued to grow. In one of its publications last month, the AFL-CIO listed Ne braska, along with Arkansas, Iowa and North Carolina, as a state where it said "economic progress slowed down" after enactment of a right-to-work law. In Georgia, State Labor Com missioner Ben 1. timet says his offices has had no complaints from labor or management and that the Georgia law is function ing smoothly." Harold B. Boyd, Virginia AFL- CIO president, says it can be shown that Virginia wage levels are lower because of its right-to- work law. He says the fight for enactment of the law was led by non union shops paying low wages. Chris H. Whiteman, industrial director of the Virginia Chamber of Commerce, says the Virginia law has been "among the major considerations" influencing com panies which have built new plants in that state. The AFL-CIO contends the major factors in locating new plants are not right-to-work laws but availability of markets, the cost and supply ot raw materials and the supply of labor with necessary skills. In Utah, the authors of the law enacted in 1955 say it has pre-1 vented unions from "organizing from the top by coercion" in 40 cases and that it serves as a con tinuing deterrent against the start of any such action Backers of right to work laws sometimes rontend that the laws are a weapon against corrupt un ion leaders because they allow an escape from the union for mem bers disgusted with racketeering officers. To this argument, the AFL-CIO replies: "The question ol eliminating corruption is not a question of union security but of establishing necessary legislation of a police I People Read SPOT ADS - you are FREE TV SERVICE INFORMATION Set Acting Up???

Mitchell, an opponent of the laws despite the neutrality of the Ei senhower administration recent ly cited a Tennessee case devel oped in the Senate investigation of labor racketeering as evidence' that a right-to-work law does not , prevent corruption. Supporters of the laws argue, however, that it is significant that, among the many cases which got attention in the Senate inquiry, the Tennessee case was the only one involving unions in a state with a right-to-work law. fir Last Of v The '58 s Sale 158 STUDEBAKER $2184 Station Wagon ' U 1 58 STUDEBAKER 1 QQ900 1 I I 2-Door Sedan I07A I 1 I I 158 Yi TON PICKUP 845 I i nese umrs Mre prana new "De" Leigh Motors J Studebaker - Packard I I V Ik Mercedes-Benz y w Nv Sales & Service 239 Main S 9th and Pine Phone TU 4-3188 WARDS "As Authorized Dispensers of Olympia Beer, we are responsible for serving the premium quality product you have come to expect whenever you order Olympia on tap.
