Strawberries
Threatened by
Virus Disease
GRESHAM Iff) Oregon's 1954
Strawberry crop is threatened by
a widespread infestation of the
virus disease known as yellows,
a four-county meeting of growers,
processors and farm specialists
was told here Thursday.
Observers said the Gresham
area is the hardest hit with 80 to
BO per cent of the strawberry
plants diseased in some fields.
New plantings are affected worst.
William S. Averill, Multnomah
county agent, said, "Crop pros
pects for next - year look - slim.
Some carryover fields may out
produce the. new plantings."
Aphids, which were thick this
year, spread the virus. College
specialists said too many growers
do not know this and fail to recog
nize; the symptoms of yellows until
It is too late to control the suck
ing f pests and prevent further
spreading. .
A three-point - control program
was proposed by Averill: early,
consistent roguing to rid old crops
of infested plants; an area-wide
dusting program to control aphids;
and supplying .by processors of
growers with best-quality certi
fied! strawberry plants. '

Wage Demand
Submitted
By Engineers
CLEVELAND Iff) Brotherhood
of Locomotive Engineers repre
sentatives presented demands to
the nation's railroads Thursday for
a 30 per cent wage boost
And in the mails were demands
or 37-cent hourly boosts from
the other big rail unions the
Brotherhood of Locomotive Fire
men and Enginemen, the Brother
hood of Railroad Trainmen and
the Order of Railway Conductors.
The four independent unions rep
resent nearly a third of a million
railroaders, whose contracts with
the roads expired at midnight.
Vote Necessary
Before any of the four unions
could strike, a vote of tne member
ship would be necessary.
A hint that the carriers would
resist these demands vigorously
came when Daniel P. Loonus, Chi
cago, chairman of the Association
of Western Railways, termed them
exorbitant
"They are so far out of line they
are ridiculous," Loomis remarked
in Chicago.
All four unions ask additional
benefits: They want in the perma
nent wage structure at least 10
cents of the hourly increases they
got from an escalator clause tied
to the cost of living.
Special Allowances
They also want the basic boost
they now asked to be applied to
all special ' allowances, monthly
and daily guarantees and other
extras.
The firemen's union : also has
made additional demands for yard
men and wants minimum daily
wages for roadmen. Specifically it
seeks for yard service men the
same pay for a 40-hour week that
they used to get for 48-hour week.
For those yardmen, the union asks
an additional 37 cents hourly
making a total demand of 75 cents.
