Wages for Furni Labor to Be Uni form. A meeting of the Labor Committee of the Morrow County Agricultural Council was held In the office of the county agent Saturday evening April 6. This committee is made up at pre sent of R. W. Turner, president of the County Council, C. E. Jones and W. B. Barratt of Heppner, C. R. Pointer of Lexington, W. F. Palmateer of Morgan, and Jack Hynd of Ceccil. Other members will be added to this committee as the need arises. O. H. Baldwin, Assistant Farm Help Specialist of the U. S. Dept. of Agriculture, was present and aftei discussing what had been and was be ing done In other counties to relieve the shortage of labor advised, with the committee regarding plans for i lie harvest season.. Baker, Union. 'Viillowa, Sherman, Gilliam, counties have each set $60 as the wage for common farm labor. Arrangements are being made to furlough the far mer boys in the training camps for thirty day periods and place them where they will be of most help to the farmers. Mr. Baldwin stated that there were hundreds of men waiting for a chance to go to work in the ship yards but that they cannot be used. The federal office In Portland is try ing to induce those suitable for farm work to go into those counties where the labor shortage is most serious. County Agent Brown outlined a plan for enlisting the business and professiosal men of the towns in an emergency working reserve for liar vest. Mayor Stncnd who was present thought a plan for voluntary enlist ment would be better than an ordin ance closing non-essential business houses during that period. Meetings will be held in each town to give ev eryone an opportunity to enlist. Believing that a lack of understan ding between farmers has been one of the chcif sources of unrcsi among the farm help and to subsequent loss of time through changing employers, the committee urges that farmers and farm help get in touch with the near est member, obtain reliable informa tion and stop the rumors that are go ing around. They also recommend; that sixty dollars per month be adop ted as the average wage for common labor in Morrow county; that Far mers cooperate more closely rather than compete with each other in se curing farm help and in planting of crops; and that the farmers and farm help co-operate with this committee in every way possible to render the most effective service to our nation.
