EFFORTS OF CIO 0 RAPPED BY GILL Opposition to Attempted Organizing of Dairymen Strong and Speedy. Mllwaukle, June 16 (P At tempts by John L. Lewis, United Mine Workers to organize Ore gon dairymen were condemned , Uav W. Gill, retiring Oregon State Grangemaster, yesterday.! Gill told the 69th annual State Grange convention that he was "pleased to note that he (Lewis), did not have the support of the national AFL or the regular .-.branch of the CIO; neither did Dhe have the support of these or-1 ganizations in Oregon." The UMW movement appar ently failed to make much head way Gill said. Opposition Speedy "The astonishing strength and speed with which the farm and : cooperative organization of the country united In opposition to the movement of Mr. Lewis, ought to settle this question for a long time." Gill advised farmers to Join the national farm groups and co operative agriculture associa tions if they "expect to make progress through organization." He said the Oregon State Grange has played a leading part in making Oregon an ex-! ample of good larmer-iaDor re lationships in contrast to Wash ington, Idaho and California where there has been "bitter conflict" betweert the farmers and labor. Gill said that "In the present war situation, laborers wheth er organized or not-should real lize the tremendous handicaps that agriculture faces in labor shortage." American farmers know no short hours, he said. If they did the people of this nation and her allies would face starvation. No Time To Strike 'This is no time for strikes or unreasonable demands and dur ing this emergency restrictions applied to hours of labor should be subject to reasonable relaxa tion so that fullest production can be obtained. "But what we say of labor we say with equal force to business and professional men. - We . es farmers ask only the opportun V'ty to produce all the food re quired and receive enough to re imburse' us for our costs of pro duction. "The publie should realize that a large proportion of the returns received by the farmer are simply a payment for the labor of himself and family." Gill, state Grangemaster for 10 years will retire at this con vention. Morton Tompkins, former Grange overseer, will be installed as master Friday night.
