LABOR LEADERS ARE
VICTORS IN SENATE
Bill Gives Legal Right To Con-
duct Strikes And BOycOtts
TO Obtain Ends.

Labor leaders, and particularly Rep
resentatives Eugene e.. Smith and Os
car Horne of Multnomah county, are
feeling pretty good today, since the
senate yesterday afternoon passed house
bill 2O3, which recognizes the person.
al rights Of labor as differentiated from
property rights.
This is the one bill in which labor
leaders have been particularly interest.
cd, as it places upon the Oregon stat
utcs law similar in principle to the
Clay ton amendment to rne oiicrman an
ii trust law. It gives to labor organiza.
tions legal right to conduct strikes OF
bovcotts in connection with their en-
deavor to shorten the hours of labor vi
obtain better wages, just so long as the
organization does not do anything that
would be unlawful for the individual to
do.
AS explained by Representative
Smith, who was extended the courtesies
of the senate floor in order TO debate
the bill, the rights which the individual
possesses to strive to better his working
conditions are extended to working men
when banded together in an organiza'
tion.
After Representative Smith had been
heard, Senator Farrell moved to ex-
tend the courtcsies Of the senate floor
to Thomas McCusker of the Employers
association, in order that the other side
of the question might be heard.
McCusker attacked the bill, saying II

ii did not give to the non-union man.
He insisted that was the purpose of the
bill
Senator Eddy sought to pin McCus.
ker down to pointing out the language
in the bill which made this difference
between union and nonunion labor and
McCusler was unable to sustain his con
tcntion.
Senator Dimick attacked the bill, say
ino its provisions would cause strife and
contentious.
The bill was taken into committee Of
the whole for amendment. Senator Ed
DIV moved to strike out the provision
giving sanction to the boycott, but after
Representative Smith concluded his
speech Senator Eddy withdrew his mo
ton. The motion, however, was renew
ed by Senator Dimick, and then was vot-
ed down.
Senator Moser objected to the bill be-
ing mutilated, and argued in its be.
half. He offered an additional sec
ton, which met the approval of the la
Dor representatives, and which pro
vidcs that if any portion Of the bill is
declared unconstitutional this shall not
affect the remainder Of the bill. This
amendment was adopted. One or two
other slight amendments were made
with the approval Of the labor men.
Senator Hurley opposed the bill on
the grounds that it would tie the hands
Of the courts in regard to issuing in
functions. He argued that the courts
usually dealt out justice in soen niat.

This brought sharp reply from Sen
ator Eddy, who declared that the lib
erty Of mankind has been obtained by
iieing the hands Of courts and that was
what he wanted to do with the bill.

When the olcomargine bill was res
urreeted in the house of representa-
tives this morning, it also rcsurrected
a flood of oratory. This is the bill that

$500 year, wholesalers $3.50, retail

an annual tax of $500 (Which would

CARPENTER WON OUT B Y HIS CLEVERNESS
Beckett Had All the Advantage, But
 His Stupidity Lost Battle
By Assoeiated Prass

London, December 5.-Experts in commenting on last nights fight, in which Georges Carpenter of France Knocked out Joe Beckett of England in the first round concur in saying that victory went to the best man, because of speed and cleverness.
 Becketts manager says Carpenter brought off million to-one chance" but the Daily Mails critic accuses Beckett of sheer stupidity"
 Beckett had by long way the best of the handicap" this expert writes. He was superior in height weight and reach. He is great fellow physically, but the less said about his judgment the better Perhaps he was overconfi- dent, but anyway he gave his opponent chance which no novice would have offered. The blow with which Carpen- tier won was too simple for words It could have been easily avoided and the counter to it would have been an ex- tremely dangerous blow, yet Beckett walked right into the danger zone What he did was simple and stupid. and there is no excuse for him.
 After Carpenter had been carried around the ring, the Prince of Wales cordially shook his hand and congrat- ulated him. The prince also shook Becketts hand. saying:
 "Better luck next time"
