Involved Is William Schneider

They've been here seven days,
without finding real jobs, this
family of transient workers whose
name I did not even learn, uut
heard more about them from
the head of the family than mere
name. That is, he is the faSher,
and it's apparent that his philoso
phy of living has left its imprint
on the others.
-What I about that tire? Think
anyone will take if?" his Mrs.
asked as she glanced at the rear
of their small pickup parked near
the employment office, "No-,
he drawled, "I guess not, and .if
they do itH be because they need
it, so." ;
The Mrs- reaching a little above
her husband's not very tall shoul
der, and , weighing a good 50 per
cent more than he, wants to work
long ; hours while she's working.
If Oregon pickers would labor
more than eight hours in ine
field, all concerned' would make
more money, she declared pretty
emphatically Monday.
In 25 years his family has not
'sat still" more than three month
of course, that was with the
exception of . winters, for "if you
work hard during the summers,
the winters will find you well fix
ed," is his ant-to-the grasshopper
philosophy.
This erasshoDDer wanted to
know something more of the ben
efits of f following the crops, so
she asked about schooling. The
children' in the family of six
members are all above IS years
of age; one son is registered "and
ready to go and one soon will be
18. While they were small they
went to school each winter in
southern California, where "it is
warm" and so an ideal spot for
those who can winter where they
choose, the father told me.
Although they made $4000 one
winter after the children had done
with school for good, working at
ToDDemsh and in nearby areas
("and Washington's a mighty nice
state"), i the head of the trailer
household maintains the - "govu-
ment" doesnt want an income tax
from him. It doesn't want such a
tax from any agricultural work
er, .he declares, because :: who
knows when there won't be work
for him."?;; , .
However, be is no slacker. He
fought in : the - Spanish-American
war,' the World war and enlisted
in this.; Got as far as an army
camix too. before they found he
had a total disability. And as far
as taxes are concerned, he would
favor a sales tax now that his
from Page 1) D
S
country needs the money, but he
doesn't want to have to do any
figuring on what it will pay back
to him from victory or any other
tax at the close of the war. -
On the other hand, neither he
nor his Mrs. wants to Work in
the cannery, because "there's too
many deductions' . . . "and be
sides.": says she, "they're only
paying 52 W cents an hour.". Nor
was she the least bit interested
when I denied that, pointing out
that women's cannery wages are
more than 60 cents this year, and
may go as high as 70, retroactive,
when the disputes are finally set
tled. -
V
Instead, she looked at me with
different expression than that
given the tire, took a puff on her
cigarette; daughter beside her
took a puff on another, cigarette;
the head of the household looked
at his own almost-gone-cigarette
and one of the boys crushed on the
sidewalk beneath his foot: the
smoke of which he was tired.

Wool Blending
Issue Clouded
NEW YORK, June 14-- The
good news that the war production
board had more than doubled the
amount of wool allowed in civilian
fabrics was somewhat clouded
Monday by spokesmen for woolen
manufacturers who said they have
too little of everything but wool
to meet-the unprecedented , de
mands of wartime.
The WPB eliminated the "blend
ing inducements? in effect for some
months under which woolen and
worsted manufacturers were
granted a substantial part of their
wool allotments only on condition
that it be blended with cotton and
rayon or other substitute fibers.
