The amendments provide that an election to determine a bargaining agent could be called by the farmer, or if requested by 30 per cent of his "regular employees." ; , A regular employee would be one that had been working seven days or more.

The two men confronted each other under oath before the House Labor Committee,! which earlier tabled the three way bill. Statements from the two men continued to conflict. Jones insisted the safety in spector had told him it is known it was -worth 5 2,500 for a man to vote for this bill." Jones' assistant backed him up. Jones said the statement came after the safety inspec tor mentioned a $90,000 fund to support three-way. The fund was made public earlier. In spite of the conflict, the committee ended the probe Canada Dry Ad Has Scent of Grape An advertisement for Can ada Dry, which appears on page 12-A of today's Mail Tribune, carries this caption: "We got so carried away-we scented, this page with just a hint of Canada Dry Grape." The statement is true. A special grape scent, supplied by Frank Orlandi, Inc., of New York, has been mixed with the purple ink to assure the pleasing "hint of grape" when today's edition Is un folded. . "We consider Canada Dry Grape has an aroma that's Ir resistible," John Snider of Pepsi-Cola Bottling company, said today. "We thought a scented ad would best drama tize a Canada Dry flavor that is fast growing in popularity in southern Oregon' The Mail Tribune press crew will undoubtedly have less explaining to do at home than the last time this news paper used scented ink, high ly perfumed to advertise toilet soap. after York admitted talking about three-way with Jones. I now assume there was some discussion of the three- way bill," Rep. Mel Gordon said, "but I assume it was York's personal opinion. This will satisfy me." 1961 THUNDERBIRD Priced to Sell! jT'fr.
