SALEM, O R E —Common carriers
operating in Oregon must serve
union and non-union patrons alike.
Utilities Commisisoner N. Q, W a l­
lace ruled i nan order this week re­
quiring two trock lines to deliver
freight to a Salem restaurant which
was being picketed by the Culinary
Workers union.
Picket Lines No Barrier
Drivers for the truck lines had re­
fused to pass the picket lines o f the
affiliate union. Commissioner W a l­
lace declared that the carriers had
no right to recognize picket lines
where no strikes or riot conditions
existed and the safety of the driver
had not been menaced.
Governor Refuses Comment
The order of the utilities commis­
sioner is expected to have far reach­
ing results adn probably to result in
a "showdown" as between the
forces o f organized labor and consti­
tuted authority in Oregon.
W hile Governor Martin refused to
comment on the order or to indi­
cate what his attitude might be in
the event the carriers refuse to obey
the utility commissioner's order he
has often expressed the opinion that
allmen should be protected in their
right to work and that he
stood
ready to throw the entire force of
the state back of any attempt to
preserve law and order.
Finished Fight
Unless the Culinary
Workers
union lift their ban as applied t:
delivery of freight a figh t to the
fininsh between the state as rep­
resented by its duly elected and ap­
pointed officials and organized labor
is predicted.
