urged north Lake County tuxpay'
crs to support a special levy for

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

survey as a result of a February

for improvements and additions to
currently served areas without in

state officials have conflicting ap
praisals of die impact of right-to-work
laws in the 18 states
where they are in force.

agemcnt relations.
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

nature to allow prosecution . of
wrongdoers."
Secretary of Labor James r.
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.
