Supervisors Approve Citizens Stand Against Closed Shop To Lend Moral Support Against Labor Union Intimidation of Employes; Will Back Up Whatever Position They Take Swinging into line as being opposed to any intimidation movement on the part of labor leaders in Orange county, the board of supervisors placed themselves on record at their Tuesday meeting as favoring an open shop policy throughout the county and as far as their jurisdiction covered. Their decision was based on requests of members of the Citizens' Association and Associated Farmers, who addressed a plea to the board to take a stand against labor racketeers' aggression, an aftermath of an incident earlier in the week at the C. O. Sparks asphalt plant near Orange wherein union organizers prevented loading of trucks of the Foster Sand and Gravel company, Fullerton. The move for a closed shop started about three weeks ago and has at intermittent periods been kept alive by union officials insisting on a closed shop policy at the Sparks plant. Matters were brought to a head this week when citizens and farmers associations attended the supervisors meeting, espousing the right of an open-shop and the right to work under those conditions. The board members expressed a willingness to use whatever legal means they may possess to campaign against undue intimidation by union leaders. Willis H.

Jim Kilduff Is Getting Uneasy Would Trek To Colorado For Meeker Celebration; Golden Anniversary Jim Kilduff's pedal digits are itching, and will become more so as October 11 approaches. Jim this week received a newspaper from his old stamping grounds at Meeker, Colorado, announcing a big celebration commemorating the Golden Anniversary of the establishing of the White River National Forest, the second oldest in the United States. In addition to the rededicating exercises it will be Homecoming day for Colorado pioneers. All of this has a strong appeal to Jim, but that is not the complete story—this is it. The big game season runs from October 3 to 12 and with one of the finest hunting areas in the west, with deer, elk and bear quite numerous, there is no need of telling why Jim feels at this time he should go to Colorado, even though it be to just shake hands with some of the lads he knew in youthful days. Theodore Roosevelt, jr., will be the guest speaker for the occasion. For his entertainment arrangements are being made for a lion hunt, such as his father, "Teddy" Roosevelt took part in and which is talked of among the oldtimers up to this day. Of course, Jim don't like hunting so he might not be interested in lions.
