SHOPCRAFTS WOULD PREVENT
MEMBERS WORKING ON FARMS
POcatelIO Federation Against Union
Members Taking Places OF Farm
Boys During Harvest.

A committee on resolutions repre-
senting the Pocatello federated shop
crafts has resoluted against members
of the union accepting farm work
during the period of the trike. Farm
ers who are in need of help are
asked in the resolution to recall the
boys who have accepted work in the
shops taking the place of strikers.
How many of these men there are
in Power county is not known. There
are several at least who are making
good money during harvest and it is
probable that they will continue with
their jobs as there is reported to be a
shortage of help in some sections.
This county always depends on addi-
tional help during the harvest months
Its own farm boys are not sufficient
in number to handle all the work even
If none of them was workig in the
shops.
