Isn't It Time to Consider Just a Little of The Loss That Results During the Process of a Srike? CONSIDERING THE present trouble which is preventing the Oregon-American Lumber Corporation concern from a continuation of operation in Vernonia, isn’t it time to stop for a moment and give thought to the damage that is arising from that altercation? For a starting thought why not consider the families of men who have up to this time been employed in lumbering activity, either in the mill itself or in the logging camp? The families, the wives and children, depend upon employment of the husbands and fathers for their sustenance. When that sustenance is cut off due to a dispute as the present one those families suffer through lack of funds to purchase clothing, medical supplies, food stuffs and many other daily needs. Untold damage results thereby, damage impossible Io accurately determine. True, the remark will be made that the merchant can carry, through credit channels, those who are unemployed and provide them with necessities. But still another condition arises to prevent too extended a period of credit. The merchant, whether he be groceryman, clothier, furniture dealer or any one of a number, operates his business upon an investment of money which he has gathered through long hard work. He must make a return or be assured of a return on that investment else he must cease to operate that business. What assurance can be given that merchant if all of his business must be on a credit basis with no apparent liklihood of liquidation of those credit accounts at least once each month? He must eventually cease credit in order to protect his interests and maintain his business. It may be remarked that the men will soon return to work and will be able to care for the credit which has been extended. What answer can be given for the number of bankruptcy actions that have been taken in the past? Isn’t it possible that such will be the case again? Then where does the merchant with his investment come to any benefit? Take still another approach. The mill corporation itself has an investment of an amount far from small. That investment is not producing returns for those who have placed money here so that the mill might reopen again following a previous shut down due to de pression circumstances. Not only that but it is a common experience to those seeking the loan of money to be refused due to a reputation which has been built up through previous losses suffered here. This present situation is most certainly not going to improve that reputation! Now, as a last consideration, what is to be gained by the working man? The wages he has lost during this time are never to be regained. With the dawn of the coming Monday the mill will not have operated for four weeks. Figure wages at a scale of §5.50 per day. For a week of five working days the wage would be §27.50. Multiply that figure by the number of weeks of unemployment. A total of §110.00 in wages is the result. That figure is the wages of one man—THOSE WAGES ARE LOST! NEW BOOKS AT THE CITY LIBRARY LAST WEEK marked the time of an ad dition of eight new books for the use of pat rons of the city library.

Material in the library is there for the use of everyone. It can be of inestimable value if one will only take the time to make it of value. STUDY AT HOME Business Professional Directory lodges AN ADDED PRECAUTION FOR SCHOOL CHILDREN— THE EAGLE last week carried a news account of the recent staging of fire drills for students attending the Lincoln and Washing ton grade schools. It hasn’t been such a long time ago that memory can’t recall those drills, of which we were a part, for the same pur pose for they meant a few moments of free dom from studies. But it is probable that little realization of the purpose of the drills came to mind at that time although the purpose then was the same as those drills staged here. True, both the Lincoln and Washington buildings are of a fire proof structure, but even in buildings so constructed fire may break out in furnishings if not in the struc Friday Night, ture itself.
