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."

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. The gov
ernment decided to wait until
the Christmas holidays.

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. Transfers of around
600,000 shares compared with
more than 1,000,000 Thursday.
