Teamsters Ask
Mail Hauling
Policy Change
SEATTLE (VP) - The powerful
million - strong AFL Teamsters
Union launched a campaign Tues
day against the Post Office De
partment's requirements for issu
ing mail hauling contracts to
truckers.
Dave Beck, international vice
president of the union, ordered all
union officials to communicate im
rrfediately with every senator and
representative in Congress to pro
test what Beck said are inade
quate and unsafe requirements for
mail truck operators.
He objected particularly to the
$10,000 bond required of mail
truckers and "failure to insure safe
operations." Beck said the Post
Office Department is "opening the
door to fly-by-night, irresponsi
ble operators."
Denies Charges
A D. Lawrence, Seattle, general
superintendent of the postal trans
portation service for the Pacific
Northwest Division, denied Beck's
charges but said there are no spe
cific requirements for meeting
union work conditions.'
He said, however, the job will
be so big in contemplated mail
contracts that only a unionized op
erator with a lot of equipment and
capital investment can qualify. He j
pointed to requirements that the
mail be transported with "celerity, ;
certainty and security." j
200 Contracts in U. S. j
Lawrence said there are some I
200 contracts in the United States, ;
mainly in the East and Mid-West, j
for truck hauled mail. Only Mon- !
day it was announced similar ser-
vice will be instituted between
Seattle and Portland, Ore., next
month. This service will call for
4-ton trucks making a number of
round trips daily between the two
cities.
Seeks Hirher Bond
Beck said the present require
ments will permit fly-by-night op
erators to rent a truck and buy a
$10,000 performance bond for
$100. He advocated a bond of
$100,000 to $350,000.
"I am asking for bitter resist
ance in every legal way we can
conceive by every Teamster local,
joint council and affiliated unions,"
the Teamster official said. "We
will not hesitate to use every eco
nomic weapon at our command to
protect the trucking industry and
its workers."
Lawrence said the postal offi
cials are working on plans to ex
tend the service between Seattle,
Vancouver, B. C, Wenatchee, Yak
tna and Grays Harbor.

Disaster Team
Makes Survey
Of Buildings
A survey of Marion County's
disaster facilities has been the task
of Frank Doolittle and John Lamb
of Salem.
Doolittle and Lamb hav been
spending a month conducting a
survey of buildings suitable for
use during a disaster. This Survey
is approximately half completed,
civil defense office reports. These
men are representing both the Red
Cross and civil defense.
"These buildings must meet
strict specifications," Wallace
Wharton, Marion County civil de
fense director emphasized. :
"In order to check these needs,
each structure must be inspected
by these men to determine how
many people it could sleep, what
preparations could be made for
feeding these people, what facili
ties are available for such persons,
and any number of pertinent items
that cannot be learned simjily by
telephone conversation," Wharton
poir'ed out.
Doolittle Is the disaster chair
man for the Marion County Red
Cross and assistant deputy for the
Civilian Defense shelter centers.
Lamb is assistant chairman for the ;
Red Cross and chief of operations
for the Civilian Defense shelter
centers.
For the most part this survey is
concentrating on larger buildings
in the county, officials informed.

Hop Markets
Remain DuJl,
Grow Weaker
By LILLIE L. MADSEX
Farm Editor, The Statesman
Hop markets remained dull and
were growing weaker as spring
approached, according to the Tues
day report of the Market News
Service of the United States De
partment of Agriculture.
Prices continued downward, a
trend which started last July, and
were 5 to 7 cents a pound under
a month ago, 35 to 37 cents below
a year earlier and were at the
lowest point since July, 1949. Dur
ing February, the 1951 crop regu
lar seeded clusters brought from
33 to 35 cents a pound generally
and seedless 43 to 45 cents on basis
of 6 per cent leaf and stem content.
There were even some sales of
seeded hops reported at 18 to 20
cents a pound, because of poor
quality.
Trading continued light, reflect
ing the slow buying interest from
dealers and industries who were
filling current needs from stocks
accumulated earlier. In some in
stances dealers and brewers were
offering stocks for resale.
Inquiry for 1952 crop hops for
future shipment was verylight and I
demand was quite slow. A few j
sales, representing small lots, were '
made during February at around !
55 cents a pound for seeded clus- j
ters and 65 cents for seedless hops.
Prospects for the 1952 hop crop :
in the valley appears quite favor-
able as March moves along. Very ;
little field work, excepting for i
some fertilizing, has yet been done. 1
California is experiencing a new '
experience this year. Preparations
for the 1952 crop have been delay
ed bv wet soil conditions due to
the many heavy rains the state
has had this year. Rains were re
ported over much of the state Mon- j
day of this week. j
Oregon's own winter weather i
has been milder than usual and j
hop plants appeared to have with- j
stood what winter there has been j
quite favorable, hopmen are re- ',
porting at the various farm labor j
meetings being held In recent!
weeks.
Not much difficulty was ex- j
pected in obtaining sufficient la- ''.
bor for the early work in yards. I
However, if the strawberry work !
proves somewhat earlier this year,
spring work in both types of fields
may get underway at about the j
same time, growers stated.
Hop picking itself is not expect-
ed to be too much of a travail this i
year as 95 per cent of the Wil- i
lamette Valley hops will be har- j
vested by machine this year. Nine- i
ty per cent was picked last year '
in this manner, and a few aridi- 1
tio.ial machines are being install- j
ed. '
