...countries, and which is probably the only faith in the world which guarantees "money back if you are not satisfied." As a mail-order gospel, propagated by advertising (in 400 newspapers, 50 magazines), Psychiana passed a milestone last week when Founder Robinson motored from Moscow to Portland, Ore., placed an order for 5,000,000 envelopes- a year's supply-and announced a new policy which will make Psychiana more like a church. Half a million letters will shortly go out to Psychiana students throughout the world informing them how-to organize study groups (resembling religious congregations) in their...
...snowy coast-range mountains near the headwaters of the chilly Siletz River, 90 miles southwest of Portland, Ore., is the Cobbs & Mitchell sawmill. There Dorothy Anne, 10-year-old daughter of Cook House & Dormitory Supervisor Henry Hobson, recently launched a one-sheet, the mimeographed Valsetz Star, which carries community intelligence to the families of 200 burly mill hands and loggers. Many a newspaper owner might wish himself able to resolve his publishing worries as simply and succinctly as did Publisher Dorothy Anne in the Star's latest issue. She wrote: "SPECIAL EDITOR'S NOTE: this...
Last week the most resounding front was the Northwest with Portland, Ore. as the appallingly confused pivot. The lumber industry, accounting for nearly one-half of the city's payrolls, has been tied up for more than three months by the scrap between C.I.O.'s International Woodworkers of America and A. F. of L.'s United Brotherhood of Carpenters & Joiners. On the basis of signed petitions, the National Labor Relations Board last month certified a C.I.O. majority in seven of the biggest sawmills, but A. F. of L. pickets continued to march. Dave Beck's teamsters...
Topping Oregon's labor problem is the current slump in the lumber industry. Only strong market is sawdust, used locally as fuel and now skyhigh at $12 a truckload. Another difficulty is the restless defiance which seems to pervade the whole Northwest. When a mob in Baker, Ore. recently ran a Beck organizer out of town with the help of local peace officers, Oregon's Governor Martin expressed public satisfaction. Few weeks ago in a Beck-Bridges dispute over some Seattle warehousemen, "the Tsar of Seattle Labor" threatened to close five warehouses if the Labor Board even held...
Behind it is the general question of decentralization of Pacific Coast shipping. Already other towns, heartened by Stockton's battle, are planning expensive ports of their own: Sacramento, San Jose, Redwood City, California, and The Dalles, Ore. On the side of older ports are most ship line owners because of established handling facilities of their own and maintenance of present schedules at existing ports. Potent argument of shipowners against recognition of Stockton is that with calls to make at perhaps dozens of inland ports, shipping rates must certainly rise beyond anything hitherto contemplated...
