mission to have the Southern Paci-
fic company leave the schedules as
they are at present and regulate
the train crews under the present
plan.
Southern Pacific officials an
nounced the new schedule to be-
come effective Monday. The new
plan would result in changes in the
arrival and departure of mail, af-
feet passenger and freight service,
and shift the points where crews
take their eight-hour layoffs be-
tween trains.
The Associated Chamber of Com
merce, made up of members from
all communities in the valley, took
the lead in protesting the change.
Directors explained that the rail-
way company does not have to
get permission from the railway
commission for changes in the
operation of schedules.
Mail service, it further was eX-
planned, is incidental to passenger
service and apparently does not
affect the decision of the company
in arranging their train departures
and arrivals.

law hung over this embat-

disturbances continued in a
jurisdictional dispute between Amer

gress of Industrial Organizations
unioniStS.
CIO men, fearing another purge"
such as occurred last summer when
they and their families were driven
out of town, were remaining in
their homes in fear of rowing squads
of AFL men.
1t. Col. Charles F.. Henderson OF
the state militia, was to report to
Gov. Culbert L. Olson on the SER
iousness of the situation, with a
recommendation for or against
bringing in national guard units to
preserve order.
Henderson said the situation was
under control" but new outbreaks
occurred later in which CIO men
protested their lives were endan-
gered and that local law enforce
ment officers were not providing
adequate protection.
From the state capital at Sacra-
mento, Gov. Culbert l.. Olson crit
icized the AFL union at Westwood's
Red river lumber company plant
and asked a group of CIO men il
they wanted martial law declared.
"If there is no other way to keep
peace up there Olson said, 1--WE
will have to send in the national
guard. When local officers won't
enforce the law, there is no other
recourse"
His announcement was made af-
ter a conference at which it was
charged Lassen county deputy sher-
ifs wore AFL badges next to their
official badges and that the depu-
ties were among those assertedly
aiding in last summers purge.

What a Relief
Two weeks of terrific suffering
have ended for Ed Dickerson OF

has had an awful sinking feeling
in the stomach every time his mind
wandered to the peace officers
meeting held Friday night.
Ed, as chief of police, was slated
to make the address of welcome and
Ed Just can't make a speech.
Every time he tries it is as though
he swallowed a towel!
So, far in advance, Ed canyassed
Westmorland for someone to speak
in his place. First one and then
another turned him down and at
last he played his trump. He ask
ed Judge Sam Rowe and Sam said
no and Eds heart dropped below
his shoe laceS.
In the nick of time Miss Eliza
beth Cummings, the city clerk, took
pity on him and volunteered. Fri
day night when it came time for
the speech Ed stood up. He was
glassy-eyed and his lips moved but
no sound came forth. Finally he
lust nodded toward Miss Cum
mings and sat down
After Miss Cummings made
creditable talk the crowd yelled for
Ed to make a speech and Eds face
lost all its color. Again Miss Cum
mings saved the day. She stood up
and said:
ED can't talk now. I'm busy"
