This bill would have the Commits
sion go to the receiver and say what
the actual damage OF the perishable
product is and what the price shall
be when q dispute arises between
the shipper and the receiver" said
j. G. Briggs. president of the Pota-
10 Shippers and Growers Association
OF Maine. who said his organization
supports the bill.
Mr.. Briggs said the dealers at
present have to make the best pos
sible adjustment with the receivers
when dispute arises. instead Of 60
ing to court. II believe this bill would
promote fair dealings he told the
Committee.
"A dealer in Boston recently told
me-" said MI. Briggs. that he could
not be honest in carrying out his
contracts with dealers because OF
the dishonesty of his competitors"
Mr.. Briggs said the potato grow
ers and dealers in Maine had no OBJ
lection TO a cooperative association
under the agricultural marketing
act and that this bill would not be
in conflict with such an association
but he said there always will be in
dependent shippers who would not
come under the cooperative scope
and that they always would feel the
effects OF fraudulent brokers If this
Dill is not passed.

protracted continuation Of the con-
troversy that has been in progress
for two months.
Chairman Graham has announc-

speaking for the anti-prohibition
side OF the argument has been an

The investigation will be in

Meanwhile, a resolution for a

prohibition conditions rested In the
judiciary committe to which it was
referred yesterday after its intro
duction by Senator Wheeler, demo-
crat, Montana. who voted dry in
his home state a few years ago.
The prospects for committee ac-

says he intends TO get behind the

senate will take up the measure

LABOR VIEWS
ARE EXPLAINED
Brownsville Man Declares
He Opposes Moving
Men From Valley

Speaking on a proposition made
by the immigration committee Sc
lected at a mass meeting held IN
the San Benito Chamber Of Com
MERGE on November 6, 1929. where
by the Water District OF the VAL
ley, acting through the joint as
ISOLATION OF district manager, were
invited TO get behind the movement
to raise campaign funds in amount
Of S25 10000 TO carry on their
plans, C.. Y. Hunter OF Brownsville
today further explains his position
on the subject as follows:
Il am opposed to any attempt TO
saddle the burden OF this campaign
on the irrigation districts Of the
Valley because there are large in
terests not represented in any ir-
rigatinn district. which should bear
EleiG part of the burden. Further,
I am opposed TO the proposition be-
cause 1t is a sort of double-header
affair, one objective being the pro-
lection Of the labor we have here
now against illegal deportation and
cruel and unjust treatment by bor-
der patrol officers, with which aim
/ heartily agree and would gladly
support, but I am unwilling TO APP
propriate district taxes to send
lobbyists to Washington to work
for unrestricted immigration. since
I do not believe a peon wage scale
ever made any country prosperous.
/ feel that a restricted immigra-
ton bill may be found TO be a
blessing in disguise both to en-
ployers and employees"
Mr.. Hunter wishes 1t emphasized
that he is directly opposed to re-
moval of Mexicans now in the
Valley.
