ton for the day. The 500 strikers
went to the forest preserve in char
tered cars, and in the evening re-
turned to Hold Carriers Hall, then
dispensing to their homes.
No arrests of pickets were recorded
over the week end. Patsy De Rosa,
who is in the Maxwell St., police sta

was leaving for FL Centre to
work in the lettuce fields.
Since that time she has not
heard from him, and as he had
always written regularly, his
failure to do So over such 4 long
period, is causing her consid-
cradle anxiety and worry.

During the grape conference held
there it was found that San Joa-
quin valley had made large ship
ments of raisin grapes to eastern
markets that were shipped on an
average sugar test for juice pur-
poses and sold later as table grapes,
running the grape market there. AS
many as 10000 ears of this kind
were shipped and decision was
made to amend the prescott law
SO that other shippers would not be
taken advantage of in this manner.
All counties in the state endors-

closed and the drive would continue
until practically every farmer in
