OF (Contlnuea from pige one) said, the steps were taken. "Just In case." Similar action haa been taken in the producing areas of California and the northwest, following threats and efforts of the "Cannery and Agricultural Workers Union',, said to be linked with communistic activities to launch atrlkea on the eve of har vests. In this valley, strikes of workers have been hinted. About -100 mem bers and sympathizers of the organi zation last week voted for 40c per hour for fruit pickers at a P. & E. lot meeting. Nothing came of the demand. Reports that communistic literature had been distributee th.'s week could not be confirmed. The district attorney and other law en forcing agencies are keeping a close tab, and are prepared to nip any At tempt to launch discord, or disturb the peace and prosperity of the val ley. Orchardists and packera reported today that there were plenty of pick ers, and some orchardists reported ft surplus of help. Local people of established residence are employed, as far as possible. The transient labor supply la now the lowest In several fruit seasons. Pay Pickers Bonus Most of the larger orchards are paying four cents a box for pickers, which includes a bonds of one-half cent offered, for staying throughout the entire picking season. Experi enced pickers at this rate can make from $3 to $4 per day. A majority of the valley orchard workers frown upon any agitation, and have given the cold shoulder to any attempt to Incite them. Most of this class are well acquainted with orchard problems and realize that many growers, like themselves, have faced hard rows. Many of the smaller orchards fin ished their first picking of Bartletta yesterday. The Bartlett picking sea son la expected to last ten days. Some of the orchards will not start picking until next Monday. N The peara were moving freely and without incident to the packing sheds today. The first shipment of cannery Bartletta were dispatched by railroad Tuesday to California plants. v. m nn sale.
