Oregon Corn-Hog Signup
Three-Fourths ’34 Mark
Timberline
Approximately 75 percent of
the number of hogs represented
in the 1934 corn-hog contracts in
Oregon have been signed up for
the 1935 program, according to
a report made to Washington by
Charles W. Smith of the Oregon
State cbllege extension service,
head of the campaign this year.
This is considered a good per­
centage in view of the present
favorable pork prices and other
circumstances in this state. The
campaign this year was carried
out without unusual incidents, and
completion of the contracts is ex­
pected to be accomplished prompt­
ly. With a few counties still to re­
port, the final total is estimated
at 4100 contracts for this state.

Success or failure of a strike
depends largely upon the attitude
the public takes towards it. If
popular sympathy is with the
strikers, they are likely to win;
if people generally do not favor
the actions of the men, their cause
is in a fair way to be lost.
The fellows who are trying
to help the strikers in Portland
by resort to gangster methods are
unintentially working toward the
defeat of their own ends. Pop­
ular sympathy is not gained by
bombing service stations or by
bashing in the face of a waiter
in a restuarant where police on
duty at the oil docks happen to
eat lunch.
