Bean Pickers
Needed at Once
The supply of seasonal har
vest workers was far from
supplying the demand from
growers of snap beans, cu
cumbers, - blackberries and
hops Tuesday morning. As a
result many growers who ap
peared at the Salem office of
the state employment service,
South Cottage and Ferry
streets, had to return to their
farms without sufficient help.
"We could use an additional
1000 harvest hands through
out the central Willamette
valley," stated an employment
office field worker.
- The demand is strongest In
the bean division, bat workers
are badly needed in the har
vesting of other seasonal
crops. Machine picking has
taken the load off hop grow
ers to some extent although
hand pickers arc needed.

Portland VP) The Portland
Central Labor Council Monday

AFL President George
Meany had ordered the carpen

councils throughout the nation
after the carpenters quit the
AFL in protest, over a "no raid

The Portland council's exe
cutive board received Meany's
instructions earlier Monday
and recommended that they be
given further study.
Neil Broady, business agent
of a machinists' local here, led
the fight to oust the carpenters
immediately. He contended that
the Portland Council might lose
its charter by refusing to act
on Meany's directive. The
machinists were out of the AFL
for several years some time ago
because of a jurisdictional dis
pute with the carpenters. .
