WFA wage boards of Califor
nia and Oregon took under ad
visement today the question of
establishing ceilings for farm
wages in this area, and are ex
pected to compose a recommen
dation to Washington in the near
future. A wage ceiling program
appeared in prospect as the
board concluded its hearings at
Merrill yesterday.
It is believed the potato har
vest wage rates established last
year will be continued this year.
They were generally favored in
testimony presented to the
board. In general, these rates call
for $1.25 per hour for hour
work, and 5 cents a 60-pound
half sack for piece work.
There was considerable talk at
the hearing of $1 an hour for
ore-harvest farm labor. Growers
