M artin N otin Favor Of Calling Special Session Martin Recalls Last Ses sion O f “ Do Nothing.” SALEM, Oregon— Admitting that he is being .strongly urged to call the legislature into special session to consider labor legislation Oovernor Martn has let it be known that he does not propose to yield to the urge — not just now at least. Friends of the governor say that his reluctance to convene the 'aw- makers is based upon his experience with the la:.*. session which ran riot for 57 days witout accomplishing any worthwhile legislaton. A special session at this time, they point out, would be composed of the same mem bership as was the regular session many of whom are pledged to labor and who could be depended upon to oppose any attempt to regulate labor organizations. The governor, it is known, feels keen'y his inability to deal effect ively with the labor controversy In Portland and other section of the state which has paralyzed the lum ber industry for the past four months. W hile he has promised pol ice protection to workers who return to their jobs picketng of the mills by the A F. of L and boycott of C.I.O products continues as a serious handicap to the operation of the mills with the governor powerless to do anything about it.

Assum ing that the commission should be called on to pay maximum benefits of $15 a week to 10.000 Jobless work ers during 1938 for the maximum duration og 16 weeks he pointed out that this would only require $2.400,- 000 This would still leave $3.600.000 1 nthe fund plus 1938 conrtibutlons which are expected to pour in at the rate of $500.000 a month or more than enough to offset benefit pay ments ■ Furthermore. Bulmore explained, should th? commission find It neces sary to reduce payments In order to protect the fund it now possesses full authority to curtail benefits and shorten the time for which payments are made without additional legisla tion.
