Merriam intervened to avert temporary mass strike war in this rich agricultural area, an Inter-union dispute de veloped which may frustrate labor's plans for a general walkout of all workers In San Joaquin county. A tentative truce, called at the request of the governor's office. minimized fears of an immediate outbreak between Sheriff Harvey Odell's army of 1,250 deputized cit izens, armed with pick handles, and union forces. The truce, technically scheduled to end tonight, may be extended If Governor Merriam can succeed In mediating successfully the disputes involved in a strike of cannery and agricultural workers union members at four Stockton canneries. Stockton, Calif.. April 21 U.R Nearly 1.000 farmers and business men in the Stockton agricultural area were armed with pick handles today and at least that number, if not more, of union members, sym pathizers and strikers clutched sim ilar weapons as the two "armies" awaited developments during a 24 hour truce In what appeared as California's potentially most seri ous agricultural labor war. The crisis developed when Hie Agricultural Workers' union declar ed a strike against four food pro cessing canneries In the Stockton district. Non-union workers were escorted to and from the plants until a pitched battle was precipitated on the open street. Cannery opera tors then announced they would not attempt to continue canning until pickets were withdrawn. Hundreds of fnrmers, faced with the loss of their harvest-ripe crops, raised a storm of protest and Sher iff Harvey M. Odrll, of San Joaquin county, announced he was enlist ing an army of 1.000 special depu ties, who would be armed with pick handles and enforce reopening of the closed plants. Union lenders met the threat of force with a statement they would meet force with force and would have "a pick handle army" of their own to meet the special deputies. Odell immediately issued orders for alt hardware and supply stores to cease sale of plckhnndles unless orderrd by him. The deadline, which was expect ed to be met with violence, was set by the sheriff for today but was postponed 24 hours to attempt to reach peaceful settlement. Under terms of the truce the can neries agreed not to attempt to re open the strike-bound plants and the union agreed to withdraw all pickets. PLAN ORGANIZATION OF BEERJPARLORS Portland. April 21 ypi Ernest H. Aebl, president of the Oregon Food and Beverage Dispensers. Inc., call ed a meeting here today of beer tavern and restaurant operators to discuss the unionization of small beer parlors. Aebi asserted that it was neces sary for dispensers to prevent a united front to unions so they might negotiate on "some reason able compromise basis." Many parlors are operated by the owner and his family and under the present union regulations they would be forced to close, Acbi claimed. Gardening: for Fragrance Gardeners all over the land are rediscovering the charm of fra grance The old f.ishioncd tuberose which sutTcrcd a lapse of popularity for many years because it was too often used as a funeral flower, is l returning to favor in gardens, be i ing no longer used in funerals. Its , odor, too heavy for the taste of many for indoor use. is delightful when diffused on the evening air. A few bulbs planted along the gar den path will be delightfully evi dent on summer evenings. ! One of the most fragrant eve ning flowers is the night scented - stock. A somewhat straggly, lilac : flowered plant, not too attractive in the daylight, it emits in the eve ning. or after a daylight shower, a cloud of sweetness. The sweet scented tobacco, nico tians alba, is surpassed by none in delightful fragrance. Its long tubular flowers close in midday, but open as evening approaches and give forth their rich perfume.

(Associated Press I'holoj OREGON CROPS RETARDED BY HEAVYRA1NS Portland, April 21 (P Heavy rains and lack of spring sunshine after winter's record assault in Jan uary and February have retarded farm work and crops in Oregon, the U. S. department of agriculture weather bureau said today in a .summary of conditions for the week ending April 20. Winter kill in the grain fields has resulted in heavy spring seeding. Winter losses occurred in the peach buds of the eastern counties and among the strawberry plants In the west. The late season has been xtn favorable for pollination in the or chards. Postures, range mid hay crops have also suffered. Grass has come through slowly and in many sec tions the range is still too wet for stock. Weather conditions have been adverse for lambing and shearing. Notes from various counties in cluded; Yamhill Low temperatures and rain have held back development. Rain washed out some fruit blos soms. MarionThe Lake Labish onion and celery land is flooded. A num ber of grain fields are under water. Conditions are unfavorable for hops and fruit pollination. Heavy losses of sheep and lambs occurred in the Turner district. Linn Cherries and peaches are in bloom and strawberries are be ginning to flower. DAMAGE OBSERVED FOLLOWING FLOOD Independence, April 21 As the flood waters of the Willamette riv er recede the damage to fields and crops on the lowlands is becoming more apparent. A hop field be longing to Sloper. Patton & Gootch downriver was divested of all Its wire and trellis and rolled up In a windrow against the roadway lead ing to the Walker and Hedges ranches. It will be some time be fore this roadway can be cleared and made passable. Considerable gravel has been washed Inland over the hopyards from the river revetment work. Many hills of hops have been des troyed, some having all the soil washed away while others are bur ied too deep for recovery. The hop work in the fields will be delayed considerably and it is quite prob able that all the early hoeing and replanting will have to be done over. The water Is receding slowly and ferry communication with the Mar ion county side of the river is cx pected to be resumed today. PRE-SHEARING WOOL CONTRACTS SLOW Boston, April 21 M'i-U.S. Dept.

TREASURY ON STILL HUNT FOR LOWJNTEREST (Continued from pane 1) revenues were not coming up to expectations. The same problem will arise on September 15. they believe, when the government will have to pay back the money It is now borrow ing in $50,000,000 weekly chunks. The unsettled state ot the market for government bonds in recent weeks apparently led to Secretary Morgenthau's decision to Issue short term bills to tide the treasury over for the rest of this fiscal year. President Roosevelt s message yesterday showed that the net defi cit, estimated last January at $2, 248.128.000, would be increased by 5309.000.000 through failure of tax collections to match up with fore casts. Additional borrowing before July 1 is expected to push the public debt to a new peak of $35,335,000,000 $1,557,000,000 over last July 1. In the fiscal year beginning July 1, the treasury must prepare to pay $2,466,000,000 coming due. in addi tion to taking care of the projected new borrowinffs of $418,000,000 to make up a deficit.

Increasing by 25 per cent the mini mum wage scale to be paid cannery employes during the coming can ning season. A minimum hourly wage of 35c was fixed for women and 45c for men. The state labor commissioner an nounced that the state welfare com mission felt the wage increase jils titied by increased living cosus, al though they arc not unmiudlul of the additional competitive handicap to Oregon canners created thereby. Statistics placed before the com mission indicated Oregon canneries, prior to this raise, already were operating under the highest fixed minimum wage of any state in the Union except Caliiornia, where, on account of the business being done to a largo extent in larger metropol itan centers, living casts arc consid erably higher. The new minimum rate for women is nearly 30 per cent higher than ever before fixed in Oregon for the industry, even dur ing the boom days ot 1929. "A number of canners have al ready culled my attention," said Gram, "to the serious competitive handicap created by this new ruling in that all eastern canning centers, without exception, have much Jowcr rates for both men and women, and in many sections the rate Is about half of the wage to be paid in Ore gon. The 45c-35c hourly minimum seems high to them in comparison with such rates as are paid in other states, for example: Men Women Georgia inctol7'rC 10c to 15c Missouri ....lfteto20c Iftcto20c Wisconsin ...20cto35c 20c to 30c New York . . . 25c I o 40c 20c to 25c These canners feel that a sharp reduction in some vegetable packs will occur as a result of the differ ence in labor easts in view of Ore gon's already less favorable pot.it.ion in regard to freight rates, costs of cans and cases, etc. "However," stated Gram, "we have been assured of the cooperation of the canning industry as a whole, and our depart ment is going to audit, their payrolls to see thHt they do comply with the provisions of the new minimum wage rate."
