INDUCTEES SENT Sugar Company TO F. Morgau Urges ARMY CENTER To Open Nampa Several Malheur county men we Investigation to the Spokane induc Of Local Land Factory Dec. 1 re tion entrained station by the Malheur county Additional Payment Ma de To Farmers; Mexi cans Coming R. G. Larson, district manager of the Amalgamated Sugar comp any, announced today that the Na mpa factory of the company will be opened about December 1 and sooner if possible. The Nampa mill was not opened at the beginning of the “campaign" when the Nyssa factory was placed in operation for the season. Opening of the Nampa factory will reduce the run in Nyssa by ab out 30 days so that the "campaign” should be completed here about January 15 instead of running into February as was anticipated. The company will need approx imately 175 employes in the Nampa factory in addition to those who are already there. The company is appealing to farmers In the Nampa district to take positions in the fa- tory. The Amalgamated Sugar comp any paid an additional 7 cents a ton on the 1942 crop of beets this week. Mr. Larson said the company made final settlement on last year’s crop Octtber 20 and added that the payment made this week was in Addition to any obligation “we had under our contraot with the farm ers”. The payment was brought about by the reduced sales policy of the company, which in turn cr eated slightly higher expense per bag of sugar sold. The payment amounted to $23,- 000 in the Nyssa area and $11.000 in the Nampa district. So far as the labor situation is concerned, Mr. Larson told mem- ^ers °* the chamber of commerce at their luncheon Wednesday noon that a large group of Mexicans are available at Hood River for work in Malheur county if transportat ion can be secured for them. The war food administration fur nished a bus to bring 33 Mexicans to Nyssa Wednesday night and the ;ugar company sent a bus to Hood River for 27 more.. The sugar com- oany bus is expected to reach Ny ssa today. Apparently transportation cannot be secured for the laborers on the railroad so the sugar company ex pects to bring as many of them to Nyssa as possible by bus. The con tract on the Mexicans who were sent to this section last spring from old Mexico expires this month. Many of the workers are now aw aiting transportation home. With half of the beets harvested, Mr. Larson said “If we get the men and the weather gives us a break we should make good progress in the next two weeks in harvesting the beets”.
