REJECT STATE
CONTROL FOR
STRIKE AREAS

SACRAMENTO, March 10. U.P
The California state board of
agriculture today was on record
as opposing control of labor un-
rest in farming communities
through use of police powers by
a state agency.
A proposal advanced by E. NJ.
Kimberlin of the industrial rela-
tionS department which would seek
police powers for the state highway
patrol, the department of agri-
culture cf the department of in
dustrial relations, for use in curb
ing strike agitation, was flatly re-
jected by the board at a meeting
here. Belief was expressed by the
board, in advocating freedom of
negotiation, that labor was en-
titled to a share Of agricultural
income and that the farmers were
willing to pay it.
A code of fair competition for
agriculture, submitted by Kim
berlin, also was declined. The board
adopted a resolution stating that,
because of its diversified nature,
the farming industry should not
be placed under either the nation
al recovery act or the California
industrial recovery act.

Friends Grieue At
Triplett's Death

That the death of Ernie Triplett,
famous automobile racer, here last
Sunday as the result of the crash
at the Imperial County Mid-Winter
fair, brought genuine sorrow to
many throughout the country, is ev-
idenced by a letter received this
morning from Mark H. Carothers,
of Dallas, Texas, which states:
Speaking for the racing fans of
Dallas, and especially the race dri-
vers here, we wish to express our
greatest regret for this accident.
Ernie Triplett was well known here
by many fans and drivers. He raced
here III 1924 and won the race. Sew
eral of the drivers here have raced
with him and regret very much to
hear of his death.
Due to the lack of information
given in our local papers, wonder
if you would be kind enough either
to supply us with the detailed in
formation of the wreck and the
cause of it, or send this letter to
some official of the track that he
may supply this information"
The Press is complying with the
request and is forwarding the in
formation desired.

School Dispute

In an answer OF the Mulberry
School District to the complaint
of Myrtle Haddan, filed at the
court house this morning, it is
admitted that the plaintiff was
employed as a teacher by the dis
trict, also that charges were pre-
ferred against her by Harold Cron,
one Of the trustees on May l3, 1888,
accusing her of unprofessional con-
duct.
1t is said in the answer that the
plaintiff had promised to resign
as a teacher after an additional
two year period of employment
prior to becoming a permanent
teacher. AT the end of this term,
the complaint states, she was ask
ed to resign and refused to do
so saying that the two year period
had made her a permanent teach
er.
The complaint alleges further
that for two years prior to the
preferring of said charges she had
been guilty of talking to other
people about members of the board
in an uncomplimentary and dis
respectful manner and that by
other similar talk she had kept
the other teachers in an agitated
and unsettled state of mind to
such an extent as to impair their
efficiency"
Plaintiff had filed complaint
against the school district to pre-
vent her dismissal as a teacher in
the Mulberry school.

Against Insult

ATHENS, March 10. U.P Pre-
mier Panayoti Tsaldaris ended a
cabinet dispute today by announc-
ing that Samuel insult, Chicago
utilities man, must leave the coun-
try next week.
Just previously James Maximos,
foreign minister, had advised the
American legation that insult would
be expelled because physicians in
a new examination, had found his
condition sufficiently good to per-
mil him to travel.

believing that to continue to shell
ter insult against the United
States governments effort to extra
dite him for trial in connection
with the collapse of his utilities
company endangered Greek-Ame
lean relations.
However, Josln Rails, interior
minister, directly in charge of the
case, said that insult was too i'll
to travel.
