Newspaper Page TextMEDFORD MAIL TRIBUNE. MEDFORD. OREGON. FRIDAY. DECEMBER 8. 1939. PAGE NINE CALIFORNIA TOLD Associated Farmers Con vention Told Benefits Of Law Adopted 2 Years Ago Stockton, Cal., Dec. 8. fP) Material gathered at the current convention of the Associated Farmers of California will be presented to the Associated Farmers of Washington as an aid in formulating a new state program. L. O. Bird, executive secretary of the northern or ganization, said here today. Bird said he hoped the Asso ciated Farmers of the three coast states would cooperate In furthering similar but not nec essarily identical "policies for labor peace." It was unofficially indicated auch cooperation would be a prime discussion topic at a meet ing of leaders of the Associated Farmers of the Pacific coast here tomorrow. Bird said the Washington As iociated Farmers' agricultural labor proposals were defeated at the last session of the state leg islature and no new program had yet been devised. Sitting Pretty President Howard L. Shoe maker, Hood River apple grower, said "Oregon is sitting pretty as far as labor disputes are concerned and California would be a lot better off if it would adopt the same kind of fair legislation." "Up to two years ago our sit uation in Oregon was much as It Is here," he continued. "Now It's different. Our law bars pick eting in Jurisdictional disputes, but permits it in all cases in which more than SO percent of the employes in a single plant are involved. It also bars hot cargo issues and secondary boy cotts." Shoemaker remarked that Charles A. Sprague was a "fine governor," and "except for rad ical attorneys and labor rack eteers our people are behind the laws. Ninety-five percent of our laboring men are for them." BRITAINSDFFERS HEAVY LOSSES AS (continued irum page one) British merchant vessel Orsa as an October war victim. An ad miralty spokesman said the ship sank Oct. 23. There had been no previous announcement here. Air Raider Seen In the war in the air, the air ministry announced Germpn air craft were reported oft the east coast during the night. "Royal Air Force fighter air craft were sent up to intercept them. One enemy aircraft Bp- proached the Thames estuary and was driven off by anti-aircraft fire." The announcement of the sinking of a German submar ine said one bomb struck the submarine amidships near the conning tower and as the ves sel began to sink another fell directly above her. "For some time after the sub marine disappeared," the an nouncement said, "oil and bub bles were seen rising to the sur face. An unofficial rationing of sugar one pound per person weekly will be put in effect in Britain Monday by retailers although official rationing does not begin until Jan. 8.

New York, Dec. 8 .P) Stock market leaders inclined to give ground tn today's mar ket although little real weak ness was apparent in most departments. The ticker tape moped throughout and the lightness of volume on the downside was encouraging to those who argue that the market for some time has been acting as though it wanted to step into recovery territory.
