in Vicious Attack
on Labor
By DAWN LovELACE

SALEM, Ore, Feb. 2S-Passing
the House by a 1928 vote, a
measure providing for the use Of
the Oregon State Police in strikes
was sent to the Senate where the
chances OF its enactment are
strong.
The bill was part of reaction
airy program of legislation which
included measures to place con-
troll of labor unions in the hands
of the Governor; repeating anti
injunction laws which prohibit
injunctions against picketing in
time of strikes; provisions for
C o m p u s DRY arbitration and
against picketing for the first 30
days of a strike.
Would Bar Communists
Oregon also has its proposal
for outlawing the Communist
Party in Senate Bills "a and IS,
which would rule off the ballot
individual candidates who are
members of any political party,
group or organization which adj
vocates the overthrow by force
and violence of local, state or ma
tional government"

essential principle that military
clauses of the Versailles Treaty
cannot be modified by unilateral
action.

always had maintained that re.

French Threaten Hitler

GENEVA, March Il u.N.SO.-
French circles, enraged at the
brusque German rejection Of the
French protest over Reich re-
armament today, Immediately
threatened Berlin with Franco
Russian alliance to keep Germany
in check.
French officials Of the League
of Nations machinery, while not
commenting officially, intimated
that IF Germany does not mend
her ways" France will cement the
pending eastern pactS and a
Franco-Russian allience, long ru-
mored, will become reality in the
couSse of the next session Of the
League council.
The French were indignant at
British moves to foreStall Frances
convoking an extraordinary coun-
Gil session and declaring that
France, after trying to play ball
with Britain, will be forced to
resort to the "Barthou manner
regarding Germany and England,
This, in effect, was a threat
to return to the old single-handed
method of running French for
eign affairs with the threat in
the background that if outside
help was needed, Russia would
provide it, backed out by the
worlds largest army.
France, in carrying her protest
against rearmament before the
League of Nations, today adroitly
maneuvered to line up all mem
bers of the league against the
Reich.

is so presented that the league
council will be jockeyed into de

invoking Articles 1874 and 213 Of
the military clauses Of the Yer
sailles treaty, which give the
League council certain rights in
case Of a German military infrac-
ton.
