TOWN COMMISSIONERS AND
SCHOOL. BOARD TO MEET TO-
NIGHT WITH PARENT
ER ASSOCIATION

The Town Commissioners and the
School Board will hold a joint meeting
tonight with the Parent Teacher AS
sociation for the purpose of thoroughly
considering suggested Improvements
to the School grounds. The Parent
Teacher Association is deeply interest
ed in these proposed improvements,
and have made the proposition to the
town that if they will build the drive
way as suggested with necessary
drains and curbing they will stand
the expense of planting grass, shrub
berry and otherwise improving and
beautif ying the grounds, which they
estimate will cost them around five
hundred dollars.

Many Thrillers Will Be
Feature Of Roundup

PENDLET0N, Ore, Aug. 23.-Wild
Mexican steers which have never felt
the yoke, bucking bronks who have yet
to know the novelty of the touch Of the
saddle, and fast running sleek horses
these will be the co-stars with the hu-
man performers at the Pendleton Round
Up, September q, %, and %.
A bunch of livestock ~unequalled in the
history of the great outdoor drama is
being assembled for the events of track
and arena and promises some lively work
for the cowboys who will match their
wits against those Of the animals in the
bulldogging, steer roping and broncho
busting.
The pauseless thrill for which the
Roundup is noted will as usual, be par
amount. The association permits not a
moments delay in the staging of the dra-
ma and event follows event in quick sue
c%ession.
Among the stars who will participate
will be Tom Mix, motion picture actor,
and his so cowboys; Yakima Canutt, Ray

Community Service

Theodore Roosevelt, while president of
the United States in 1902, said; al be-
lieve in organized labor. l believe in or
CARNATIONS of wage workers. 0rganiza-
ton is one Of the laws of our social and
economic development at this time"
Chief Justice Taft, before his election
to the presidency, said: "What the cap
~italist. who is the employer of labor,
must face is that the organization of
labor-the labor union-is a permanent
condition in the industrial world. 1t
has come to stay. If the employer would
consult his own interest he must admit
this and act on it. Under existing con-
ditions the blindest course that an en-
ployer of labor can pursue is to decline
to recognize labor unions as the con-
trolling force in the labor market and
to insist upon dealing only with his par
ticular employees. Time and again one
has heard the indignant expression of a
manager of some great industrial enter
prise, that he did not propose to have
the labor union to run his business; that
he would deal with his own men and not
with outsiders. The time has passed in
which that attitude can be assumed with
any hope Of successfully maintaining
it." During the war emergency Mr.. Taft
served as joint chairman of the War
Labor Board, and it is interesting to note
that after his experience in that work
he said, on August 9, 1919: Labor un-
ions have been necessary to secure to
the individual workman an opportunity
to deal with his employer on an equality
and free from the duress of the immed-
late want of a daily wage, to demand
what he regards as an adequate and just
return for his labor, or to withdraw
from employment"
Hughes Speaks Up.
And this from Charles Evans Hughes,
now secretary of state, in an address at
Columbia University, on November 80,
1918: II trust there will be no more
struggle in futile opposition to the right
Of collective bargaining on the part OF
the employe. The recognition of the
right of representation and the prompt
hearing of grievances provides the open
door to reasonable and Just settlements
And in returning to peace condition;
there should be the utmost care to pre-
serve every possible means which ha;
been found helpful during the war fol
the investigation of complaints of labor
and for the adjustment of demands"
Employers of Importance and visior
concede the right to the workers to or
ganize. Thus John D. Rockefeller, Jr.
said in the Annals of American Academy
of Political and Social Science, January
1918: "As regards the organization o
labor, it is just as proper and advantage
GUS for labor to associate itself int'
organized groups for the advancement o
its legitimate interests as for capital tt
combine for the same objects"

Amusement Mania

This is the amusement age. The
craze for amusements foretells the
doom Of present day civilization. II
you are a careful reader Of history
you will note the similarity between
. this age and the one which preceded
the fall Of Greece and Rome. We are
marching toward the same precipice.
The increased population Of the
world and the extra facilities afford
ed US make it possible for a quicker
decline. The people seem to have
forgotten all about life's more seri-
u work and are engaged in a mad
competition for pleasure. There are
more people trying to commercialize
this tendency or mania for amuse-
ment than ever before, and, for fnan-
cial considerations they are furnish
ing more kinds of amusements.
Prophecies are being shattered,
principles are being abandoned, and
characters sacrificed in the mad rush
to reach the Beach of Frivolity and
Pleasure.
The old people have become insane
on the subject; the middle-aged are
intoxicated; and the youth Of the
land are hopelessly engulfed. Babies
are born in the mad house of jazz

scores of other cowboys and cowgirls
whose lives have been spent in the sad

will be ample. Happy Canyon. that un-
tanned village Of the West Of the old
days when man was untrammeled by law

will offer games of faro and roulette for
those who would stake their Roundup
bucks. Like the Roundup, Happy Can
yon is a community show sponsored by
Pendleton people.
Special railroad rates have been ar
ranged for and the Oregon Journal spe-
cial from Portland will be a feature. The

WELL=AFTER [

When you hear a Teller grumble at
the hill he has to climb, an later, see
him crumble in despair, You wouldn't
err in judgment, if you bet yer bottom
dime, that he has built the cross he has
to bear. This thing we call humanity,
is full of human freaks, with ftful an
imaginative brains. There's very few
that's brave enough to scale the high
est peaks,-that knows enough to come
in, when it rainsl With blessin's all
around us, we embrace the things that
curse. We pander to the vicious ape
tite, We undertake the very thing that's
sure to make us worse, an shet our
eyes to everything that's right.

ployers' Group in the presidents first
Industrial Conference, October, 1919,
said: $50 far as | am concerned, l am
committed in my mind and in my very
soul to unionism as it is expressed by
the administrative faculty of the Amer
lean Federation of Labor; and in say
ing that, my friends, l do not sanction
ultra radicalism."
Harry A. Wheeler, former president of
the Chamber Of Commerce of the Uni
ted States and another member of the
Employers Group in the first Industrial
Conference, said: ave freely accord the
place of the trade and labor unions in
those organizations which the men have
the right to join"
Rights of Workers.
The Chamber of Commerce of the Uni
ted States, in its referendum No. 81, on
a report on principles of industrial re-
l~ations, declared: "The right of workers
to organize is as clearly recognized as
that of any other element or part of the
community"
The labor provisions of the Peace
Treaty affirm "the right of association
for all lawful purposes by the employed
as well as by the employer"
Twenty-six states have enacted laws
specifically legalizing trade unions and
prohibiting discharge on ground of
membership therein. They are Colorado,
Connecticut, Illinois, Iowa, Kansas, Lou
~isiana, Maine, Michigan, Massachusetts,,
Minnesota, Montana, Nebraska, New
Hampshire, New Jersey, New York,
North Dakota, Ohio, Oregon, Pennsyl-
vania, South Carolina, Texas, Utah, Vir-
ginia, Washington, Wisconsin and Wyo-
ming.
In the principles and policies of the
War Labor Board, the right to organize
was enunciated in detail. This declara-
ton, worked out in conference between
representatives of employers a1l EN-
ployes, and given the force of law for
the war emergency by presidential pro-
clamation, was as follows: "The right
Of workers to organize in trade unions
and to bargain collectively through che
sen repr ,.nt, ii, es is recognized sud a.
frmed. This right shall not be denied,
abridged or irtelfered with by the en-
ployers in any manner whatsoever"
And yet We find coal operators in West
Virginia, Alabama and other states bru-
tally denying to their employees the right
to organize or to join the United Mine
Workers of America. Not only do they
oppose the exercise of this right, but
they maintain huge armies of armed
gunner and thugs whom they turn loose
to roam the hills and mountain sides
with a rowing commission to assault and

murder, If necessary, those employees
who dare to encourage organization.
Hundreds of coal miners have been beat
en- or killed by these lawless gunner in
the employ of unoin- busting coal COM
panies. Scores Of union organizers have
been assaulted, beaten up, driven out or
killed in order to prevent the union from
obtaining a foothold in these n%on-union
fields. These coal companies place them
selves above the law, above government,
courts, pulpit, press and the wholesome
force of public opinion. They would
destroy the union and reduce their en-
ployes to a still lower standard Of liv-
ing. What is the great American public
going to do about it?

HONEY PHILOSOPHY FOR 1922.

Since We are all out helping to make
the world better why not do 1t in half
the time? If we put the time spent in
kicking into correcting, gee, what a
hole we could knock in the things we
don't likel Most people who don't kick
say whats the use?" because they
think they are powerless, so they waste
their time grumbling. As soon as one
things cured another hobs up. When
we're shaving by wireless there'll be a
kick because the static shakes the ra-
zor, Meantime suppose we all butt in
an better things, and meantime also
smile.

Pres. Lewis, Miners Union,
Quotes Authorities on
Labor Problems
OPPOSITION TO STRIKE
PRINCIPLE OF MINERS
Asserts Mine Owners Have
Resorted to Brutality to
Break Union
By JOHN L. LEWIS, President of the
United Mine Workers of America.

~ AahN
Editors Note: Coming at this time
anything from John Lewis, president of
the United Mine Workers of America,
is of interest. In the following Mr.. Lew
is has gone to some pains to locate and
quote rulings on the rights Of the work
ers to organize from men known
throughout the world. To their opinions
he has added some ideas of his own.
The total gives cause for thought-and
that, evidently, was Mr.. Lewis idea in
presenting the manuscript.
Opposition to strikes, except as a last
resort and after every other honorable
means of reaching a settlement of diff
f~erences has failed, is a cardinal prin-
ciple of the United Mine Workers of
America. But they hold firmly and de-
terminedly to the well-established prin-
ciple of the right of workers to organize
and to deal collectively with their EN-.
ployers. When this right is denied OF
attacked the miners stand ready to en-.
gage in industrial battle for the main
tenance of that right. The right Of
workers to organize is fundamental. i
has been pronounced and affirmed by the
government, by the last four presidents
the congress, the courts, by state legis'
l~atures, by the press, the pulpit, by civic
bodies everywhere and by the public.

POINT STRAINED, BUT
 ROYAL ETIQUETTE WON

ATHENS, April 26.-King Constan- tine is causing the Chief of the Pro- tocol Service deal of trouble and giv- ing him many sleepless nights. At any official or public function the Pro- tocol Service is hard pressed to find a means of having Constantine present as well as members of the Diplomatic Corps.
 Since he returned to Athens from exile many countries, including France and Great Britain, have refused to recognize him. Other countries, most ly neutral during the war have recog- nized Greece's King.
 Pope XIV, to which the Diplomatic Corps was invited, as well as the royal court The Protocol Service for sev eral days could not think out a way cs having both present without obIig- ing them to meet each other The King, in order to reach his seat, had to pass before the Diplomatic Corps. A means of avoiding the meeting was found by the erection of huge screen between the diplomats and the King. Once seated the King could see the ambassadors, and to those whose coun- tries had recognized him he bowed in salute and the ambassadors an- swered.
 Representatives of France, Great Britain, Belgium and Italy Immediate ly showed more interest in the flut- etiquette had been saved.
