Farm Labor War Refuses to Lie
Dormant During Winter Months
United Preis International
California's farm labor war
Is refusing to lie dormant over
the winter months.
The battle scene now lies in
the 'rich Imperial valley.
where a $19 million lettuce
crop is being picked. The par
ticipants are members of the
Agricultural Workers Organ
izing committee and the Unit
ed. Packinghouse Workers of
America on one side, and
angry farmers on the other.
The smouldering unrest
came to a head Friday when
83 union members walked off
their jobs at the Bruce Church
ranch two miles south of
Brawley. While several car
loads of sheriff's deputies and
California Highway Patrol
men stood by, union spokes
men said they wanted a 35
cent hourly pay increase and
other benefits. The field work
ers minimum wage is now 90
cents an hour and they want
$1.25.
'Show of Strength'
Earlier in the same day, 40
growers, appeared at a labor
pickup point in Calexico
called "the hole" to harass the
growers' hiring agents.
Union spokesmen answered
that domestic workers should
be able to seek work from the
farm owners individually in
stead of having to be hired
daily through the present rep-
resentative setup. They
charged that the Imperial Val
ley Farmers association re
fused to hire 97 qualified
workers waiting at the labor
pickup point the day before.
The farmers denied the
charge and countered that 40
laborers had refused to work
With one strike in progress
and charges becoming more
angry from both sides, the sit
uation promises to develop
Into a fierce battle when the
union attempts a general
walkout next week.
Northern California also
had a strike in progress-this
one called by the newly
formed Tunnel and Rock
Workers Union. Its members
want recognition and have
stopped work on 19 northern
California water projects to
get It. A San Francisco court
issued a restraining order to
prevent the 1,300 men from
selling up picket lines, but the
men ignored it.

Salem-UPD-A traffic expert
from Cornell University said
Thursday Oregon could cut its
traffic toll greatly by keeping
crash victims from being
thrown from their cars.
Max dcNovellis of the Cor
nell automotive crash-injury
program told the Oregon Traf
fic Safety commission here
16.8 per cent of all persons
thrown from their cars in traf
fic collisions suffered danger
ous injury. This compares to
9.8 per cent of those who were
not thrown out.
The Oregon statistics also
show that it was much safer
to sit in the back seat. In 119
cases, less than 1 per cent of
those silling in the back seat
of a wrecked auto were killed.
But. 7.3 per cent of those
riding in the right front seat
were killed.
