Deadly Effect of freak Laws A cannery manager in California write« that he cannot operate on green pea« under U h * minimum wage law.

He cannot compete with the etale« that conduct the cannery buri non on more liberal terms and that industry goes. In Portland, Oregon, the Oregon Packing Co., hounded under orders of a minimum wage comniimion, moved its plant to Vancouver. At Hahin, Oregon, the Northwest Fruit Products Co., unable to comply with a freaky fruit law, will not put in a Jelly factory. The Jelly factory will probably go to some state when* the rulings of the fruit and health board» will let an industry live. At a low extiiHHte two million dollars worth of ini|H*rfect fruit is wash'd for legislation that cannot lie complied with in this state. The green |>ea canning industry has mostly gone to Utah where freak laws have not yet lieen enacted on such a complete uplift scale. How much more of this sort of thing do the taxpayers want? How much more can labor stand and make a liv ing? Nels Lunde Burled Mr. Nels N.
